Bleeding With the Moon: The Magic of Full Moon & New Moon Periods
Have you ever noticed your period syncing with the Full Moon or New Moon?
This isn't just a coincidence — it’s an ancient rhythm rooted in feminine wisdom. In fact, the moon blood period is a sacred phenomenon that connects you to the Earth, the cosmos, and yourself.
By understanding the Red Moon and White Moon cycles — often called the Moonblood cycles — you can reclaim your Moon Time, reconnect with your womb, and honour the magic of your cyclical nature.
Whether you bleed on the Full Moon, the New Moon, or somewhere in between, this awareness can guide you toward deeper self-understanding, empowerment, and feminine embodiment.
The Red and White Moon Cycle: A Deeper Connection to Your Feminine Rhythm
The Red Moon and White Moon cycles offer a profound connection between your menstrual cycle and the lunar phases, creating a sacred pathway for feminine healing and transformation.
These cycles are at the heart of what’s known as the Moonblood Mysteries — ancestral knowledge passed down through generations of full moon priestesses, womb shamans, and menstrual magic keepers.

Mapping Your Menstrual Cycle to the Moon
Begin by tracking your bleeding patterns in relation to the lunar phases.
Some women bleed with the New Moon, others with the Full Moon — and many shift between phases from cycle to cycle. This is true for me as well.
There’s no right or wrong way. Your menstrual cycle is uniquely yours, and each one offers a sacred opportunity to honour your body’s wisdom.
By tracking your Moon Time, you begin to tap into the power of menstrual magic. You deepen your connection to your inner rhythms and the natural cycles of life.
This sacred practice turns menstrual cycle tracking into a moon time guide — one that helps you reclaim menstruation as a portal of embodiment, renewal, and deep feminine wisdom.
Menstruation Full Moon Magic - Red Moon Cycle
If you bleed on the Full Moon, you may be aligned with the Red Moon Cycle — embodying menstruation full moon magic. This sacred rhythm is linked to the archetype of the Full Moon Period Witch: the healer, the creatrix, the woman who walks the path of inner wisdom and outward transformation.
Traditionally, women who bleed on the Full Moon were seen as witches and medicine women, embodying deep intuition and powerful healing energy. To bleed on the full moon is to walk the path of visibility and service — sharing your gifts with the world while staying rooted in your cyclical nature.
Even though this phase can ignite creativity and self-expression, it’s vital to honour the body's need to rest in the initial days of your period. While the Full Moon invites expansion, your bleed still calls for inward reflection. After this sacred pause, the energy of your solar phase naturally builds — fuelling manifestation and aligned action.
⏾ Full Moon Bleed Rituals
1. Offer Your Blood to the Earth
One of the most ancient and grounding rituals is to return your menstrual blood to the Earth. You can collect it using a menstrual cup or reusable pad and dilute it with water before pouring it at the base of a tree or into the soil. This practice is a beautiful way to honour your body, fertilise the Earth, and give back to the cycle of life.
2. Moon Bath
Infuse your body with the energy of herbs and intention. Take a moon bath with rose petals, mugwort, or lavender. Focus on cleansing, releasing, and reconnecting to your womb as a sacred portal.
As the water drains, visualise all that you’re ready to release flowing away with it.
3. Candle + Creation Ritual
Set up a sacred space under the full moonlight or indoors with candles. After some rest, journal on questions like:
What am I being called to create?
What wants to be expressed through me?

Menstruation New Moon Magic Bleeding - White Moon Cycle
This sacred cycle invites you inward — a time of deep rest, spiritual renewal, and rebirth.
Bleeding with the New Moon often signals an inward journey, aligning your body with the moon’s pull into the dark, fertile void. It’s a potent moment for shadow work, intention-setting, and connecting with your deepest truth.
While it may feel tempting to use this time to plan or manifest, let rest be the soil from which clarity and insight emerge. Honour your womb’s call to stillness, and allow yourself to be cradled in the quiet magic of the dark moon.
⏾ New Moon Bleed Rituals
A sacred time to return inward, shed what no longer serves, and plant the seeds of what’s to come.
1. Create a Womb Altar
Build a space to honour your bleed and your lineage. Include a small bowl of water, a few drops of your blood, a crystal (like moonstone or obsidian), herbs, or images of your maternal ancestors.
Sit with it daily during your bleed. Speak your prayers aloud, or sit in silence — your presence is enough.
2. Womb Meditation
Place a warm compress or hot water bottle on your womb. Close your eyes and breathe deeply into your belly. Ask:
“What do you need right now?”
“What vision is ready to be planted through me?”
Let whatever arises — sensations, emotions, images, words, or even silence — speak to you. Your womb holds ancient knowing and speaks in whispers. Trust her voice.
