This post explores the legacy of menstrual oracles and the sacred roots of ritual.
Did you know the word “ritual” may come from the Sanskrit word “Rtu,” which means menstrual blood?
In ancient Vedic traditions, Rtu describes the natural rhythms of life. These include the seasons, the moon phases, and a woman’s menstrual cycle. It honors the flow of life, fertility, and the cosmic order.These rhythms guided menstrual rituals and ceremonies involving ritual blood, reminding us that the womb has always been a source of spiritual power and divine connection.
It was common to use these rhythms to time rituals. People performed ceremonies during full moons, solstices, and sacred menstrual phases. Many scholars believe that this deep connection gave birth to the word ritual.
This reveals the natural—and particularly feminine—foundation of ritual practice.
The blood of the womb was revered for thousands of years.
Menstruating women were revered as Seers and Oracles in many Indigenous cultures. Their menstrual blood held healing energy and spiritual power. It was not something to hide. It was something to respect.
When we pause during menstruation—when we rest, reflect, or pray—we tune into our inner wisdom. In these quiet moments, we may receive visions, guidance, and clarity. These messages help us in our personal lives and in how we show up for others.
Menstrual blood menstrual ritual can also carry intention and energy.
Historically, women have used it in ceremonies to manifest, heal, and connect with the divine. It’s a way to create magic with our bodies and honor our natural power.
