Moon Blood Menstruation: A Guide to Celebrating Your Menstrual Cycle

Celebrating your menstrual cycle is an act of reclamation of your feminine power and the sacred wisdom of your moon blood.

Most of us were taught to silence the wisdom of our womb — to push through menstrual pain, ignore the exhaustion, and carry on as though nothing sacred was unfolding within us.

But your moon blood is pure menstruation magic — a sacred rhythm that connects you to the Moon, the Earth, and the ancient women who bled before you.

Moon Blood Wisdom: Embrace Your Feminine Power & Natural Cycle

Our bodies are deeply magical and deserve to be honoured and celebrated. As women, we are designed to live as cyclical beings, guided by the wisdom of the sacred menstrual cycle. Reclaiming this connection allows us to embrace the full blessing of being born into a female body.

Your moon blood is a sacred portal to feminine power, womb wisdom, and deep spiritual connection. During menstruation — a time of natural inward journeying — we access profound intuitive and shamanic gifts, often referred to in ancient times as blood magic. Ancient cultures honoured moon time as a sacred phase, recognising it as a source of oracular insight and divine feminine power.

Much like the Moon governs the tides, its rhythm mirrors our own. The average menstrual cycle closely aligns with the lunar cycleboth spanning about 28 to 29 days — symbolising our innate connection to this celestial body. The Moon has long represented the feminine: our emotions, intuition, and inner world. As our bodies are made mostly of water, we too are affected by her gravitational pull, reflecting the deep synchronicity between lunar phases and the phases of our moon blood cycle.

Women who honour their cyclical nature often experience greater emotional balance, heightened creativity, deeper intuition, and renewed energy. By listening to your body’s rhythm — knowing when to rest, when to create, and when to simply be — you begin to move through life with more ease and intuitive alignment.

Though much of this wisdom was lost through patriarchal conditioning, we are returning to it now together, reclaiming our space in the ancient circle of our grandmothers. As we reconnect with our womb space and honour the natural flow within us, we not only heal ourselves — we awaken the collective feminine.


Embracing the Triple Goddess: The Maiden, Mother, and Crone Archetypes and Their Sacred Phases

Life is a sacred journey, and as women, we move through transformative phases that mirror the lunar cycle, the seasons of nature, and the wisdom of our menstrual rhythms. The Triple Goddess archetype, a revered symbol in Neopagan and earth-based traditions, reflects the deep power and spiritual insight inherent in the stages of womanhood. She embodies the cyclical nature of feminine life, inviting us to honour each phase with reverence and awareness.

The Triple Goddess represents three distinct yet interconnected archetypes: the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. Each reflects both a life stage and a moon phase — guiding us through the natural rhythm of birth, creation, and transformation. These archetypes also correspond to realms of existence: the Maiden to heaven, the Mother to earth, and the Crone to the underworld.

“At her first bleeding a woman meets her power.
During her bleeding years she
practices it.
At menopause she
becomes it.

- Traditional Native American saying

 

The Maiden:

The Springtime of Life & Waxing Moon

Follicular Phase

The Maiden is a symbol of new beginnings, innocence, curiosity, and fresh possibilities. She embodies the energy of youth and the trusting, expansive nature of spring. This phase corresponds with the Waxing Moon, following menstruation, and invites you to plant seeds for new dreams, projects, and ventures. It is a time of growth, vitality, and hope—perfect for birthing new ideas into the world.


Practical Insight:

This is the time to explore fresh opportunities, initiate new projects, and embrace curiosity. Take bold steps toward new beginnings, trusting that the seeds you plant now will grow into something beautiful. This is the time for new beginnings, discovering your potential, and nurturing the birth of ideas.

The Mother:

The Summertime of Life & Full Moon

Ovulatory Phase

The Mother represents nurturing, abundance, and unconditional love. She is the embodiment of creativity, fertility, and vitality. Aligned with the Full Moon and the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle (around day 14), the Mother archetype marks a time of peak energy, manifestation, and productivity.

Like the Earth in summer, this is a time to witness the flourishing of your intentions and the fruits of your labour. It is the phase for conscious creation and deep connection with the world around you.

Practical Insight

In the Mother phase, the energy of manifestation is at its peak. It’s a time to nurture what you’ve already begun, pour energy into your projects, and give freely from a place of abundance. The Mother’s energy supports growth and flourishing, so focus on manifestation, expansion, and sustaining what you’ve created. This phase calls for balance and active co-creation, so direct your energy wisely and thoughtfully to bring your visions into reality.

For some, this may even be when you bleed on the full moon, a powerful energetic moment in some feminine spiritual traditions.

The Crone:

The Wintertime of Life & Waning Moon

Luteal Phase (And Menstrual Phase/New Moon)

The Crone embodies wisdom, introspection, and transformation. During this time, we release what no longer serves us, both physically and emotionally. It’s a sacred time of letting go and preparing for renewal, much like winter’s stillness.

The Crone phase is deeply connected to the inner mysteries of the womb — a time of “blood magic” and ancient remembrance. For some, this is when moonblood meaning becomes most evident — an embodied experience of the descent, of shedding, and of deep spiritual communion

Whether in the Luteal Phase or during menstruation itself, the Crone archetype calls us inward—to rest, reflect, and reconnect with our innate power—honouring menstruation as a sacred act of renewal and spiritual remembrance.

Practical Insight

In the Crone phase, introspection and deep reflection are essential. This is the time to let go of what no longer serves your evolution, whether it’s outdated habits, limiting beliefs, or emotional baggage. The Crone invites you to honour the sacred process of releasing and trusting in the transformation that follows. Use this time to connect with your intuition and inner knowing, allowing yourself the quiet space to heal and emerge with a fresh perspective.

By embracing the Triple Goddess archetype—the Maiden, Mother, and Crone—we come to understand and honour the cyclical nature of womanhood. Each phase offers a unique opportunity for inner alchemy, transformation, and spiritual development. Just as the Moon waxes, wanes, and completes its cycle, so do we.

Embrace each phase and flow with the natural rhythm of your body, mind, and spirit — your sacred moon time.
