The Satanic Temple’s Menstruation Ritual

Record summary

The Satanic Temple has promoted a menstruation ritual that frames menstruation through bodily autonomy, rejection of shame, and symbolic self-affirmation. The rite is part of a broader modern Satanic ritual system emphasizing individual sovereignty rather than invocation of external spirits. It can be compared with menstrual taboos, feminist ritual, and contemporary body-centered magic. The relevant wording and presentation should be taken from dated official publications or participant accounts, since online summaries sometimes reduce a flexible personal practice to a fixed liturgy or make unsupported claims about its origins.
