Menstrual blood magic with potentially last cycle
Hello Witchy communities!
I have been coming into my witch self this year and though I have dabbled throughout my life, this is a time that I am fully embracing and developing a practice. I have always fantasized about being in a witches circle, out in nature, on a full moon, with my menstrual cycle freely flowing. I’ve also thought about using my blood in a ritual or spell, but have never done so. I am now in late perimenopause and have very irregular periods and thought I had already had my last and felt a little sad that I had lost my opportunity. But I just started another cycle! I am starting to plan a ritual to call in my crone self as well as using my blood as a deity offering to the moon goddess and Pan.
My questions for you all!
- Any recommendations on collecting and storing? This could be my last! Also, I do not want my husband to know so fridge might be hard.
- Any ideas on ritual particulars such as Incantations? I plan to cast a circle, have representations for the deities, such as a white candle, a stone, and water for the moon, and a candle, oak branch, and peonies for Pan. I’ll burn frankincense and myrrh and have a bowl of water to add my blood in. Any other suggestions? I’ll probably also spend time reading tarot and meditating while I’m my circle.
Ideally, I’d like to do this on the full moon, which is in one week, so I’m debating on whether it would be better to collect blood and use it in a week if I’m not still bleeding or do it sooner on a waxing moon while I am still in flow. Thoughts?
Thanks for reading this long post and for any feedback 🩷
