42. BLOOD: honouring menstrual magick with Sequoia Glastonbury

Reawakening Love and Power

The Wild Witch Sequoia Glastonbury and I talk about blood magick, and how honouring your blood relates to your relationship with your body, your relationships, and your sexuality. We cover:

• What it means to be a witch;
• The imprint your first bleed leaves on your life;
• Promising ways newer generations relate to their cycles;
• The menstrual cycle as a gateway for accepting and honouring your body;
• Getting used to seeing your own blood;
• Doing blood prayers during your bleeding time, offering your blood back to the earth;
• Honouring the inward pull and need for rest during your bleeding time when you have real life obligations;
• What to do when other people in your life are not on the same page as you;
• How loving your cycle helps you have better sex;
• Building belief and trust in yourself when you’re doing something different;
• Taking your time on this journey and letting it unfold at your own right pace.
