Moon Blood Medicine

A few women around me were "whispering" about the blood for a year or so, books were mentioned, information exchanged, and I was inspired and started collecting my blood and drying it, hoping i would one day add it to my smoothie. I didn't, and I'm glad.

Following Taki'h Dhyandeepa Antigoni's Blood Mysteries Master Class I promised myself to drink my Blood during my next moon, and I did. What happened took me by such surprise, that I couldn't belie ve it!

I close my eyes, blow my intention to the cup in which I gathered my Moon Blood, then look at it, at its intensely black red mirror, smell its perfume that I didn’t know was there, before I slowly drink it tasting its Medicine. It's my first time, I am scared because of what my mind tells me about the disgust I will feel, and because I don't know how and where it would take me… and it blows my mind…

I drink it straight as it was, in a ritual with a prayer and song. It tasted like nothing I ever tasted before and nothing I expected. I can only describe it with one word. Nectar!

It takes me by surprise with its energy that wakes up my body, literally energy rushes throughout, and with its taste that is the most natural elixir a woman could make and drink, and that connects me to my Inner Woman. It is the most Magical drink ever. I have never Loved my own Woman that way, if in any way. It was all 'mental' before. This feeling that came felt real, and a real Mystery. I feel ecstatic, connected within, happy to be a Woman, myself, and belonging – to the Tribe of People.

I also feel that I was lied to, that I’ve been cheated out of a great gift that I disregarded for years. And so I make a promise to dive into each and every one of my Moons with respect, trust, commitment and curiosity, to discover this unknown gift and to learn from its Medicine.

I wish for my sisters to reconnect to our Source, to our Sacredness, to our Nature. This may be one of the ways, and for many of us it’s an unchartered territory. I found my Ground, my centre there on my first journey. And wow I’m looking forward to my coming Moons and rituals, I can't wait in fact!!!

I hope this will inspire many women to reconnect with themselves. It's just so beautiful!
