I GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING. SITTING ON A RAINBOW, I'VE GOT THE STRING AROUND MY FINGER

The Moon has forever been a symbol of the Goddess. The moon's cycles symbolize the female cycle and can be paired together to set powerful intentions or to let go of things that aren't serving us. Menstration.com has a great article on myths and magic of menstration...
Once a month, half the adult population of the world who aren't pregnant or menopausal lose blood. In ancient times it was noticed that a woman's monthly flow was the only time along with childbirth that blood was shed without wounding, and thus it was regarded as special .
The rituals of many traditions from Taoists to the Ancient Egyptians involved the ingestion of menstrual blood mixed with red wine to increase spiritual power. In Ancient Greece spring festivals included the spreading on the earth of corn mixed with menstrual blood to increase fertility.
So great was the belief that the power of creation existed within the blood of a woman that many myths such as the Ancient Hindu version in which all life is created from the thickened blood of the Great Mother include reference to it.
The word 'ritual' comes from 'rtu' which is Sanskrit for menses. The blood from the womb which nourished the unborn child was believed to have 'mana' or 'breath of life'.
