Throughout history, indigenous people have recognized the power of a woman's blood. Though I wasn't raised within a system that honored the rites of passage into Womanhood, I did grow up around hymns that spoke the blood truth. "Power in the Blood" was ostensibly about the power of Christ's blood but it illustrated a larger point.

Blood washes away things that no longer serve you. What remains is a purer version of yourself, a more honed, focused, intentional being ready to re-enter the world with all systems go.
