THIS is my offering! by Taki'h
A powerful call came through me with the Gemini new moon to reclaim our sacred blood as part of our collective healing around the body, the feminine, the sacred, our relationship to the mysteries of matter and to the planet itself. A global movement to de-stigmatize and rightfully honor menstrual blood by all genders, individuals, couples and groups. To take this subject out of the closet of shame and secrecy where it has been relegated, and out of the “it’s a woman’s thing” box. It's a human thing, it's an Earth thing! Full stop!
Recently I found out that on that very same day, May 22, 2020, half way across the planet (I live in Finland) a group of devoted women and abuelas (wise grandmothers) had called for a global offering of menstrual blood in the name of restoring peace and right relation with ourselves and the Earth. Thousands, mostly in the Americas and Spain, made their offering that day. I cried rivers of joy upon discovering this synchronicity and the power through this simple act of offering menstrual blood. At the same time, I launched this movement. This is my offering! The blood flowed through the web of energetic veins and roots and pathways connecting us. That is Her point afterall!
It is clear the call from the Earth is being heard more and more, and it’s coming through various of us in different ways. By the abuelas, keepers of ancient ways and wisdom; individuals questioning millennia of conditioning; couples discovering the power, beauty and magic of union during bleed time; women and men alike standing for the feminine and for the sacred in themselves, for each other, and for our planet. #oursacredblood
I never in my wildest dreams thought I would seed this movement. EVER! I have never been the flag bearer for this theme, it is not my personal or soul passion. I have never EVER longed to even be part of any global movement much less seed one. And yet, I heard the call and it was a choiceless choice, I said yes to what had already been chosen. "Ni modo!" (in Spanish) This is how Spirit has chosen to express itself through this vehicle, I just need to get out of the way with my preferences and let it flow.
The intention is to have a space where voices from all over the planet, all genders, all orientations, all religions, languages and cultures, all walks of life, are brought together as one wave of expression choosing love and life instead of fear, moving through the planet! Together, standing as one, choosing sacredness instead of the shunning of our bodies.
This blood connects us ALL. None of us would be here if it was not for this blood; whatever gender you identify as and whether you are a CEO, a leper, a Prime Minister, a shop keeper or the Pope, you were nourished in a womb with THIS SACRED BLOOD! And this blood connects us to our plight as a humanity and the Earth deeply.
ALL of us have a stake in this. From wise elders reminding us of the old ways, to priestesses and priests invoking ceremonies, to mothers and fathers working out how to pass on a different legacy to their sons and daughters then the one they inherited, to lovers wishing to overcome contractions around disgust or wanting to connect to spirit, to young people discovering a more empowering narrative for themselves then the status quo in circulation, to women reclaiming their inner wisdom, raw wild nature and cyclical ways, to men discovering that to honor a woman’s blood also helps them honor their sacred seed more, to groups working through strong religious and cultural repression around menstrual blood, the feminine and the sacredness of their bodies.
Our collective relationship to menstrual blood is deeply symbolic of what needs healing, shedding, and re-alignment for us as a humanity, and for us to manifest the world that is awaiting us! Aho!
