MOON ART | VAJRASATTVA MANTRA YANTRA

"When women remember to return their blood to the Earth, men will remember to cry and will no longer need to spill blood in war." - Ancient Hopi Proverb

In Esoteric Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasattva is a diety and its role as the “great purifier” is top-of-mind — a necessary first step in practice, working on purifying any negative karmas and obstacles that obscure our mind from Liberation.

Vajrasattva is traditionally depicted iconographically as white in color with one face and two hands. In his right hand he holds close to his heart a vajra (thunderbolt), representing the active means toward enlightenment, and in his left hand beside his left hip an upturned bell (ghaṇṭā), a symbol of emptiness (śūnyata) and the perfection of wisdom (prajñāpāramitā).

ABOUT PERIOD ART

My initiation into womanhood happed during a special ceremony back in 2016, when I was on my period.

After a whole night spent dying and being reborn, in mystic visions and experiences of death and life emerging harmoniously together as one, I’ve had the most profound realisation in my heart that really changed my whole perspective over menstruation:

I had to “do” something with my blood.

Throwing it down in the toilet or in the trash on a tampon began to feel wrong to me and I felt an urge to draw with it, to make something beautiful and unique out of it.

I’ve always suffered from very bad period cramps from menarche and since this powerful self-initiation, I began to slowly heal, month after month from all the distress and emotional baggage crystallised in my nervous system that made me HATE being a woman.

As of today, after many years working on female empowerment, self-love, conscious work, healing, meditation and spiritual practices, I can say without doubt that drawing and bringing sacredness to my menstrual blood has been the most healing initiation into womanhood I ever received in this lifetime.

For now my mission is to bring awareness to all my fellow sisters and brothers, about the sacredness that lies within the womb of the Woman.

My most profound desire is to live in a world where women and men recognise the intrinsic beauty and mystery of the Wombman, and through my Art and expression inspire you to inquire or simply enjoy it as a magical manifestation of Life itself.

HOW TO USE IT:

Each painting is perfect for contemplation: blood has its own magical wisdom and reaches the hearts of everyone in ways that are not familiar with logic. You can expect any kind of reaction, from the most positive to the negative but rarely no body reacts to them. This is the power of the blood and womb.

I would advice to place them on an altar where you do spiritual practice or simply place them in a room to enhance its harmony or where there is need to bring healing vibes. You can place them in Red Tents, offer them as a gift for a menarche or for someone who is in need to bring transformation in their lives through rebirth.
