Ancient menstrual wisdom for modern women For our ancestors the menstrual cycle was a source of wonderful creative, spiritual, sexual, emotional, mental and physical energies. It was a gift that empowered women to renew themselves each month, to manifest and create the world around them, to connect deeply with the land and their family, and to express deep wisdom and inspiration. This ancient female teaching is still available to us in our mythology and nursery tales. Miranda Gray introduces modern women to their unique cyclic nature and guides them in accepting and expressing a passionate and creative cycle-empowered life. She explores the women's wisdom contained in western mythology and traditional stories and offers practical exercises and methods (including the 'Moon Dial') to explore the depths of being a Cyclic Woman. Red Moon will transform the way you think about yourself, your cycle and your life! Red Moon helps you to: • accept your cyclic self and connect with each of the different powerful energies of the four phases of your menstrual cycle • enjoy and apply these energies creatively, sexually and spiritually to everyday life • re-awaken the cyclic myths for yourself as a personal journey • create rites of passage to bring emotional acceptance and transformation Contains revised and new content and illustrations. "Red Moon has helped me to gain a whole new positive vision about my menstrual cycle. The wonderful combination of stories, inspirational information and practical exercises makes this a handbook for women's transformation." Sophia Style, Menstrual Cycle Educator, Spain. Miranda Gray is an advocate for the recognition of the cyclic nature of women. She is an artist, designer, writer, and alternative therapy teacher. She lives what she teaches.

The book is ok, but I find it quite repetitive. It over-stresses the cyclic aspect of the nature of women over and over again. It uses allot of achetypal imagery which is nice if you are in to this kind of things, and it gives you some short written excersise to do to start getting back in touch with your monthly cycle.
I bought it thinking it was going to go more in depth, while for me te book remains very superficial and a bit too obsessed with the relation of women cylce with the moon. Though it does not give any explanation on why, for example most women will no mestruate either with the full or the new moon, but rather in phases in between. So the reader is left to wonder... why if every women is soo linked to the moon my cycle seems not to have any syncroncity with it??
Basically the books looks at achetypes but it forgot to add that in today modern society, lyfe style, food, city environment and so on, completely alter this famous cycle. She also does not mention the energy that a woman will go through in her cycle if this does not much the moon phases. Do I still have inward energy even if my cyle comes during the waxing moon??
I guess a good book for biginners, but a bit to stereotyped...

I have tried all kinds of natural therapy for menstrual pain without success and resorted back to Ibuprofen (very unhappily), as the pain was unsupportable
Working with the knowledge and wisdom in Red Moon is changing a) my perception on the menstrual cycle into something positive and beneficial and b)has reduced my painkiller intake dramatically (after the first month of using this book.)
If you are a woman, pain or not during menustration, you need this book! We have the most wonderful gift if we open our eyes and hearts and work with it consciously. I bought a copy for my friend who loves it too.
Working within the boundaries of our cycle and understanding it on a deeper level, learning to respect ourselves in the process, is a blessing! Being a woman is a blessing. Share the knowledge in this book with other woman!

This book is a treasure. Every menstruating woman would benefit from it's approach to understanding and celebrating menstruation.
I bought this book to celebrate my daughter's impending menarche with her. Instead I am celebrating my moon cycles and will use that knowledge to assist her with understanding and celebrating her cycles when her time comes.

Women are cyclical
A lovely book. Women are cyclical beings and this should be accepted by society, and by women themselves! Read more

Every woman should have a copy
The author simplifies the whole menstrual cycle and explains why women feel the way they do, when they do. The advice given is invaluable.
All women should have a copy.
