A monthly offering is an ode to the textural experience the feminine goes through once a month as an expression of her body cycles. I use the word texture because there are many layers beyond the visible when it comes to the monthly cycle.
The feminine is raised in an idea that the monthly cycle is a horrible experience, however as I delve into the layers of this it becomes revealed that it is a monthly offering. To honour the body and the cycles, the way the feminine shows up everyday within their cycle at whatever capacity she can is an ode and it is an offering.
It is an offering to be feminine, it is an offering to move with the cycles and it is a monthly offering to continue to show up at every part of that cycle in the version of herself that she is capable at in that moment whole heartily.
