- S3 E2 Blood Magic (Erica Sodos)
Episode Summary:
Several years after self-publishing the popular Zine "Moonflow", Magician and Menstrual Educator Erica Sodos join us for a discussion on the sacred blood rites of menarche and menopause.. We explore the idea that rites of passage - such as a first-menstruation ceremony or a "Croning" ceremony for menopause - can be created or even revisited retroactively to heal past experiences and reclaim a sense of empowerment. Our conversation reflects on personal stories, the sacred symbolism of menstrual blood, and how ritual can help people reinterpret life transitions with meaning and support.

Episode Summary:
In the words of Nick Venegoni, "Initiation is a moment when you can step into the next level of power." Nick compares initiation to leveling up, like in gaming. You gain a new power. What if this is true? What if we can reframe the challenges in our lives as initiations that not only help us get through the hard moments but also help us to level up?
