House of the Moon

For countless generations, women have walked a path marked by profound transitions— milestones of Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, and Crone. Yet, in modern culture, these ancient rites of passage have largely been forgotten. House of the Moon is an offering to rekindle that sacred connection, inviting you to a year- long journey of deep ritual and remembrance. Honouring the Blood Rites of Womanhood At House of the Moon, we will be honouring and celebrating the blood rites that signify the stages of a woman’s life: • Maiden: Celebrating the first blood, the initiation into womanhood, and the blossoming of self. • Mother: Honouring the birth blood, the act of creation, and the opening into nurturing life. • Matriarch: Embracing the blood rites of fruition, receiving wisdom gained through cycles of growth and harvest. • Crone: Commemorating the final blood rites, stepping into the power of completion and unlocking the mysteries of life.
