The Red Tent or Moon Lodge was a gathering of women each new moon when girls & women are most likely to be experiencing their moon-time (menstruation) & are in need of emotional support, rest & reflection.
This sacred tradition observed by ancient cultures served as a regular forum for empowering one’s feminine sense of selfhood. Traditionally, girls would start attending the Red Tent when their bodies started to cycle with the moon. It was here they would learn about their fertility cycles & every facet of being a woman known as Women’s Lore, Women’s Mysteries or Secret Women’s Business…(the info not covered by school sex education, teen mags or the Girl Guide association!)
In a nutshell, this original ‘Girl’s Night In’ gifts women of all ages a continued mystical understanding of their womanhood. Including the effect of the lunar & seasonal cycles on women’s emotions, energy levels & psychological well being, as well as how to balance those cycles for greater harmony. This knowledge taught women the value of their bodies as physical temples so they felt empowered to set personal boundaries in all their relationships accordingly.
This custom also acknowledged that when a girl begins to cycle it is natural that she will feel the need to individuate from her mother by doing exactly the opposite of everything her mother says in order to find her own feminine identity.
Initiating teenage girls into a circle of trusted women who they can turn to when they feel unable to share with their mother, ensures they are guided & protected by a circle of wise & loving mentors rather than being blindly led by their peers or seeking guidance from magazines sponsored by a corporate agenda.

They are so wearable and softer fibers, Knowing I am helping the environment and have extra dollars in my purse is great. I wish I had got on to these years ago.

It is crucial for women to not really feel as if they’re being forced into sex, so in the event you truly do not need to have sex together with your partner, you ought to not try to use a female libido enhancer. There is a distinction between not desiring to have sex due to a low libido, and not having sex with an individual because you don’t want to have sex with them.
Hi Chadwick, thanks for your comments. Totally agree – and it is often a vexed issue. Keep in touch. Wendy
Nice post. Actually read the whole thing…usually that doesn’t happen for me, lol.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
On mine it is very interesting theme. I suggest all to take part in discussion more actively.
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
Thanks for your generous comments. We look forward to your furthur comments.
