Menstruation Magic & the Strawberry Full Moon 🌕 🍓
The Strawberry Moon, rising in full sweetness and summer bloom, is more than just a name — it’s a sacred invitation to return to your body, embrace your cycles, and shed what no longer nourishes you.
When this moon overlaps with your menstruation, it opens a portal of power that few ever speak of: the intersection between blood and moonlight, between release and ripening, between the inner world and the outer sky. This is menstruation magic in its rawest, ripest form.
🌕 The Strawberry Moon: A Moon of Ripening, Release & Feminine Power
This full moon gets its name from Indigenous North American peoples, marking the season when strawberries were harvested — ripe, red, and ready. It’s a moon that teaches us to honor sweetness, but also to harvest and let go.
When you bleed under this moon, whether by chance or cosmic design, your body is mirroring the moon’s message:
Your blood is not shameful — it’s sacred. It is the spell. It is the story. It is the offering.
🩸 Menstrual Magic Rituals for the Strawberry Moon
Here are some ways to work deeply with your blood, your energy, and this luscious full moon:
Collect your menstrual blood (with a cup or cloth) and return it to the Earth with intention. Pour it at the roots of a flower, berry bush, or sacred tree.
Speak aloud what you are releasing fears, burdens, insecurities and let the Earth transform it.
“I offer this blood as thanks and release. May what no longer serves me be transmuted into beauty.”
• Womb Meditation & Body Anointing
Lie down and place your hands or a crystal (strawberry quartz, moonstone, carnelian) on your womb. Visualize glowing red light swirling through your pelvis.
Then, anoint your lower belly, inner thighs, and heart with oil (rose, mugwort, pomegranate), massaging slowly and reverently.
Affirm: “My womb is a sacred temple. I honor her wisdom, her timing, her power.”
• Menstrual Journaling + Fire Spell
Write a letter to your womb. Let her speak. What does she need you to release? What patterns are you bleeding out this month?
Burn the letter under the full moon and bury the ashes with strawberries, petals, or herbs like yarrow and rose.
Brew a calming tea blend for your bleed:
- Raspberry leaf (womb support)
- Rose petals (emotional healing)
- Hibiscus (moon & blood energy)
- A splash of pomegranate juice (for sacred sweetness)
Drink it beneath the moonlight with your hands on your belly. Sip slowly. Feel the magic in every drop.
Why Menstruation Magic Is So Potent
The menstrual cycle is a spiritual compass, and bleeding under a full moon is a call to embrace the wild feminine, the death/rebirth cycle, and your innate psychic power.
In ancient traditions, bleeding during the full moon was seen as a sign of spiritual awakening, a shift from fertility to intuitive power. Your body becomes an altar. Your emotions become a spell.
You are bleeding out illusions. You are shedding timelines. You are returning to yourself.
This Strawberry Moon, whether you are bleeding or not, take a moment to honor your womb — your cycles, your intuition, your power to feel deeply and create wildly.
If you are menstruating, this is your lunar altar.
Your pain, your blood, your softness — none of it makes you weak.
It makes you a vessel of moonlight and wild roses.
“As the moon swells, so do I. As I bleed, I bloom. I am ripe with magic.”
