Celebrating the End of Menstruation
Form a circle and create an altar in the middle with four red candles and four yellow candles. Prepare it with red roses if you can, and white or yellow flowers. Use a Maiden Goddess for your center piece, Athena image, or Dianna, or Artemis. Raise energy through a song or humming. When the energy is raised (you will know when), let one of the friends act as priestess.
Priestess:
We gather together to commemorate the withdrawal of the flowing bloods from our friend. We ask the Great Mother to bless our sister with good health, vitality, and gladness. Let the flow act through the younger women now, let this woman rest, she has finished her part as the Goddess of the Bloods. She is now the Goddess of the great achievements.
Celebrant now lights her four red candles.
Celebrant:
I light this first candle for the bloods that are gone. And the second one for the children and health that flow brought me (omit if not applicable). The third red candle for the flowerings of my womanhood, and fourth for the labors ended in glory.
Priestess:
I release you, and the Goddess of the Red. I accept you, said the Goddess of the Yellow Ray. I call you into my wisdom to grow in, I call you like a new Maiden, into my sciences, into my knowledge, into dreams to be manifest!
Celebrant lights her four yellow candles now.
Celebrant:
I light this first yellow candle for the release from the Reds. This second one for the flowering of my skills. This third one for friends and support, and the fourth one for the blessings from above!
Now the circle can sing songs, entertain each other, share food and drink, exchange gifts with the celebrant. When the candles reach their natural end, cast them into a living body of water and don't look back.
All:
Blessed Be! It is done!
