I Am A Womban

I am a Womban. I have the power, the glory, the love, the passion of the Divine Mother resonating within my Womb. Within the abysmal waters of my Womb’s ocean, the dark ocean from which life, and life’s blood, pours forth. I can do what no man can do. I can grow, sustain, and nurture life within me, nestled within my Womb, birth it from my body into this world, and continue to nurture it from my Goddess-kissed breasts. I am a True Shaman, the walker-between-worlds. I stand with one foot in the world of the living, and one in the world of the dead, as I lay screaming and panting, becoming one with my body and the Earth, joining with all the mothers in the world, all who have been and all who will come, I am the Goddess Incarnate, as I bring forth a child.

I am feared and revered, protected and oppressed. I am shamed and dismissed, accepted and loved… because I have the Power of the Blood, the Power of Moon Blood, flowing rich and red, pouring forth from between my ivory thighs, flowing from my Womb… for I am a Womban… My blood can heal. It can heal wounds and hearts and it can heal the Earth, our Mother. Women need to look into themselves, feel their Power, their Sacredness, let their Blood flow like it was meant to! Let it be controlled by the pull of the Moon, like the tides of the Sea, not by foreign chemicals. They need to see themselves as Womben, as Sacred Bleeders and Holy Healers. We need to spread our legs proudly and shamelessly and sit upon the Earth, stand in the crashing waves, and bleed, to return our Blood to the Earth, for She needs healing. She cries out to Her children “Bleed! Bleed my Daughters, Bleed with the Moon, Bleed upon Me, for you have the Power, you have MY Power, as Women, as the Creators and Sustainers of Life, as the Origins of Life! If Women bleed and give offering of their Womb-blood unto the Earth, our men, our brothers and our fathers, even our own sisters and mothers, will shed no more blood in battle…” Heed Her cry! Bleed with the Moon! Sit upon the Earth and make libations with your Sacred Womb-Blood.

For we are all, Womben.
