The Red & White Mother by Rebekah Mené Spirito

There is something quite profound I am experiencing being a Mother and feeding my child whilst bleeding from my womb.
To be the life giver, and nourisher of the Sacred milk of life, the White Elixir of the nourishing Mother Goddess and at the same time embodying the Kali blade of letting go. Feeling the gushing of the Bloody Red River of death and resurrection flowing freely and abundantly.
I’m realising the Goddess and her many faces are livi ng, breathing within me simultaneously.
I am life, I am death
I am red, I am white.
I am giving, and I am also letting go.
In this sacred place of the Moon lodge I find myself grieving my “old moon times” where I would lay in bed with three days eating chocolate and dreaming.
It’s a different story now being a Mother.
My moon time is evolving, the Moon time of the Mother is a glorious dance of life and death dancing together.
The blood symbolises new life, a new cycle, after the longest of Winters and retaining that blood power within. Now She is ready to flow again and begin her Spring time ascent.
There is so much more depth in my Moon time now, realising I am the Embodiment of the All.
The Mother.
The nourisher of life
and the grief of death,
both sides of the same coin.
Dancing together as one.
Blessed be the blood.
