What are the holistic phases of the menstrual cycle?
Long ago, as the new moon appeared, women would withdraw from society to honor their menstrual cycles. This marked a time of acknowledging losses and embracing fresh beginnings. Revered for their connection to lunar rhythms and the gift of fertility, women were seen as sacred figures entrusted with guiding their communities.
Our unique designs draw inspiration from the ancient wisdom of the feminine cycle, mirroring the four archetypal women we embody throughout menstruation. These legendary figures connect us to the hidden language of our bodies, guiding us toward a life rich in intuition and self-understanding.
The four phases of the menstrual cycle are menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase.

Follicular phase, Spring, Maiden, Last quarter moon
During the follicular phase, coinciding with spring and embodying the Maiden archetype, under the last quarter moon's influence, you'll experience a vibrant energy akin to the crescent moon's glow. This phase sparks creativity and emboldens you to take action. Expect to radiate enthusiasm and confidence, propelling you forward to manifest your aspirations.
Ovulatory phase, Summer, Mother,
Full moon
During the ovulatory phase, akin to summer and embodying the Mother archetype, under the full moon's luminance, your fertility reaches its zenith, imbuing you with boundless creative energy. This phase fosters communication, affection, and openness to the world around you. It's an opportune time to cultivate new habits and nurture fresh projects.
Luteal phase, Fall, Wild woman, Third Quarter Moon
During the luteal phase, reminiscent of fall and embodying the Wild Woman archetype, synced with the third quarter moon's wane, heightened self-awareness dawns. Intuition strengthens, unveiling potent insights. This juncture invites a deliberate reflection on past thoughts, emotions, and deeds, facilitating a purifying release of what no longer serves body and mind.
Embracing our cyclicality offers more than just insight into our needs; it serves as the initial stride toward harmonizing with our innate nature.
