Blessing

When we bless another, we are literally raising their frequency to that of the Divine.
When we bless another, we do something sacred.

Today, the blessing is given with holy water. Holy water is water that has been blessed by a member of the clergy or a religious figure. Use for cleansing before baptism and spiritual cleansing is common in various religions, from Christianity to Sikhism. The use of holy water as a sacramental for protection against evil is common among Lutherans, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, and Eastern Christians.

Gnostic Christians used to call their religion Sineisaktism, another word for agape, meaning The Way of Shaktism, referring to Tantric yoni worship.

But where does this ancient tradition come from?

Blessing comes from the Bletsian word.

bledsian

From Proto-Germanic *blōþisōną ("to sprinkle, mark, or sanctify with blood"), from *blōþą ("blood"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhlo-to- ("to sprout, sprout"), from *bhol-, *bhlē-dh- , *bhlō(w)- ("prosper, flourish, blossom"). Cognate with Old Norse bletza ("bless"), whence Icelandic blessa. Related to Old English blēdan ("to bleed").

How many of you are now imagining the holy grail?

The Holy Grail, in its true original essence, is the womb.

One of the most important rituals for Gnostic Christians was to prepare an immortality drink made from menstrual blood, which is full of healing stem cells, which can activate our cellular capacity to regenerate and transport us to endocrine states of ecstasy. Or in a spiritual sense, open us to the cosmic consciousness of heaven or paradise.

This love feast or sacred marriage, a fundamental part of the menstrual mysteries, was eventually declared heresy and women were prohibited from participating in Christian rites.
However, the power of rebirth and resurrection previously associated with the menstrual blood of the Divine Mother was transferred to the story of Jesus and his Eucharistic ritual - hic est sanguis meus - this is the chalice of my blood - where worshipers they drank his blood to gain the power of rebirth.

Interesting huh!

Let's go deeper, let's go back to the end. Must?

In our beginnings, when our communities were matriarchal. Women used to bleed together. Our blood was sacred. The only blood that created life. We used to bleed directly onto the earth, to fertilize the Earth. In the Temples, the Priestesses were the guardians of that knowledge, they were healers, midwives, oracles... They lived in a sacred ceremony with the rhythms of the Earth and the Moon. Menstrual blood was used to initiate, protect, and bless.

In most ancient myths and religions around the world, dating back hundreds of thousands of years, the power of rebirth has always been a blessing from the female womb, embodied and endowed by the priestesses of the sacred womb in many cultures. It had never been in the hands of a man, although there are many legends about the menstrual powers of shaman women being stolen by male gods.

The word "menstruation" comes from the Greek root "men", which means month, and "menus", which means moon and power. That the moon and power represented the same thing is also quite revealing. In fact, it's how women created the calendar!

It turns out that many ancient cultures like the Egyptian, and even the Greek, used menstrual blood in rituals. The pharaohs actually instructed their priests and priestesses to ingest the material to enhance their connection with the spirits. The Greeks were a little less dramatic about it, using the blood to fertilize their crops.

In Celtic Britain, being dyed red (presumably menstrual blood) meant you were chosen by the goddess. The Celtic word "ruadh" means red and royal. Celtic rites were often bestowed by older women in the community due to the belief that being postmenopausal made her the wisest, as she had permanently retained her "blood of wisdom".

”The Goddess Eostre (symbols of the womb that have evolved to the present Easter) was traditionally colored red and placed on graves to strengthen the dead for the afterlife. In Greece and southern Russia, graves were reddened with ocher clay to make them more like the womb of Mother Earth from which the dead could be reborn.

As I have deepened my own reverence for my moon blood, I have been practicing returning it to earth each time it comes. There is an old Hopi prophecy that says, “When women return their blood to the land, men will come home from war and the land will find peace.

Could my menstrual blood be as powerful to our ancestors as it was to the Hopi people?

So I started giving my blood to my trees and plants every month (diluted with water, blood is powerful) and I saw my oak tree transform. Blood contains a high composition of nitrogen and protein, which is just what our plants need to grow strong.

Returning my blood to Earth is a small ritual that strengthens my connection to my lunar cycle and helps me reprogram my shame into pride in being a bleeding woman.
