🎙 Episode 3: Red Rivers: Reclaiming the Sacred Womb (pt 1)

This series dives deep into the global and historical demonization of menstruation, sacred womb wisdom, and the spiritual power of menstrual blood across cultures. Through the lens of patriarchy, colonization, and religious doctrine—particularly in Abrahamic traditions—we explore how something so divine became taboo. From Leviticus to modern Islamic law, from ancient moon rites to today’s beauty industry, Red Rivers is about reclaiming what was always holy.

This is not just about blood—it's about power, divinity, and the womb as a cosmic portal. It’s time to tell the truth about who made it shameful… and why.
