Some people are gonna think this is gross. Fine. But I think it's a
legit question and I would like an answer.
Is it likely to make you sick to drink your own menstrual blood? I
mean, theoretically since it came from your own body, it should be
'safe.' But does anyone KNOW? Does it contain waste products? I
thought it was just blood and some other mucus/vaginal fluids. I've
heard that drinking too much raw blood will upset your stomach. I
mean, lots of us have TASTED our menstrual flow (or am I alone
there?), but . . . how much would be too much?

Just FYI, this is meant to be worked into a ritual/sacred act. I don't
really think of my period as being 'gross' at all, and would like to
incorporate it more into my spirit work.

Thanks for bearing with me on a potentially squeamish topic!

yes it could make you sick. if you do that, there's something wrong.

if you'd like to incorperate it more into your spiritual path, use a few
drops of the blood instead of water if making homemade incense.

No, it isn't.
Blood is very rarely 'sterile'.  If someone isn't actually ill, they are
highly likely to be carrying *something*.  OK, so if you're already carrying
it, you're not very likely to be able to infect yourself, but then the bugs
that reside in the vagina are not the same as the bugs that reside on the
skin  or in the mouth.  If  you really want to ingest blood, I recommend
Black Pudding - there are several good suppliers on Scunny Markit.

Being that the mestral cycle in many cultures is a sacred time were women
should be away from anyone is a bit of a clue here. Menstrual cycle or
period was at one point a product of the body in the same way urine, and
fecal matter are. Once it starts the breakdown process to be evacuated from
the body it is now a byproduct and no longer considered viable by our body.
At this point it starts to basically die and starts to do like most things
that die, it starts to sour or smell, rot just a little. Some will go on and
on about how horribly it smells but get a grip there are much worse smells.
Any way, for rituals, runes, incense and spiritual work that hurts no one it
is ok to use it. I would not suggest eating it though, it is kind of a by
product at this point and should be treated as such.

Power of the mind can be described by some as magic, spiritual work, what
ever, if you don't like it move on quietly without a nasty comment and
consider it crap. We all have faith in something even if it is only in

Power of the mind only exists inside the brain that that mind is in or of.
It can't touch anything outside of its boney receptacle.

Bollocks.  I'll say what I like to whomsoever I like.  If I see
superstitious fools deluding themselves, it's my duty to help them out of
their delusions.
It's good for the bank balance too, to not subscribe to snake-oil merchants.

I only have faith if there's evidence.  Mumbo-jumbo, woo-woo and
sky-fairyism have so far failed to provide any.

I would like to know if you are omnipotent? Are you an authority on reality?
If so please scan in your PhD's and whatever papers you so choose to present
to the world as proof of your all knowing colossal knowledge. For those
souls that have no idea of the world around them of things yet undiscovered,
untouched and unknown, they will hide behind the idea that proof is the only
way. Just 269 or so years ago electricity was not discovered so much as
utilized it always existed but its potential unknown. The witch, the hag the
shaman the whatever magic using, herb toting persons of the dark ages of
humanity still haunts our very conscience. As they do we find the things we
left behind are coming to light as new ways to ease, treat and cure diseases
with old methods that were considered bullock beliefs. Example the Chinese
acupuncture, surgeries done by the Egyptians, leaches, blood letting, herbs
from rainforests the list is long and not worth dragging out. If even
science looked at these ideals as junk garbage, refuse or bullocks as you
wish to believe, we as a race would still be poking sticks at the mud and
unable to thrive beyond even very simple means.

So do you believe the earth is flat? If you do not what real evidence do you
have that it is not? Have you been to space? Have you seen it for your very
self? Evidence comes in many forms and photos can be doctored as well as an
idea fed to a people. Energy can not be made nor destroyed, our very body is
run by an electrical field and it can be disrupted and so where does that
energy go when we die, if it can not be destroyed?
"Energy cannot be made or destroyed, but it can change from one form to
another. Energy is either potential energy, (stored energy) or kinetic
energy, (movement energy)."

Please I really would like to know your views. What you argue I register I
will not say you are wrong because you have the right as I do to disagree
with everything or nothing. =) I like a good debate and I think I have one
with you. If you feel up to it. If not I understand it can be a bit
exhausting if your point never really sinks into someone's thick bony
cranium. =)

Concession speech noted..as is  lame recycling of a discredited
logical positivism.

Dawkins says no such thing he says quite the opposite.

http://www.visualstatistics.net/East-West/Logical%20Positivism/Logical%20Positiv
ism.htm


..this is what Richard Dawkins says on this topic

" This remarkably widespread fallacy - many repeat it as a
mantra - that science has nothing to say about the question
of God's existence implies that science cannot even make
probability judgments on the question.

The presence or absence of a creative super-intelligence is
unequivocally a scientific question, even if it is not yet a decided
one.

Richard Dawkins.

>whereas science sticks to facts.

You clearly know very little  of the scientific method.
Do you imagine hypotheses are sucked out of scientist's thumbs?
Shadow Walker - 26 Jun 2007 17:29 GMT
LOL, You show how very uneducated a bullock you are my friend. Science, all
science starts out in somebody's head as an idea, a feeling or a bunch of
questions that all add up to a Theory.

"Theory, hypothesis are used in non-technical contexts to mean an untested
idea or opinion. A theory in technical use is a more or less verified or
established explanation accounting for known facts or phenomena: the theory
of relativity. A hypothesis is a conjecture put forth as a possible
explanation of phenomena or relations, which serves as a basis of argument
or experimentation to reach the truth: This idea is only a hypothesis."

In other words its a type of philosophy

philosophy

"A study that attempts to discover the fundamental principles of the
sciences, the arts, and the world that the sciences and arts deal with; the
word philosophy is from the Greek for "love of wisdom." Philosophy has many
branches that explore principles of specific areas, such as knowledge
(epistemology), reasoning (logic), being in general (metaphysics), beauty
(aesthetics), and human conduct (ethics)."

All in all what you discount because you haven't gotten all the facts on
because you are not a scientist, a philosopher of any leaves you lacking.
Your blindness supersedes you to a point were you wish to stomp out other
peoples theory's on how the world works? Many have tried that and it has
ended in the lose of life because of ignorant and others like yourself
,wanting to stomp out other people, and their ideals.

You do not have to give my woo-woo any attention and I would prefer you
leave my woo-woo out of this being were I come from that is a slang
reference is to a part of the body. =/ Yes and as most of science is an as
yet is improvable, unverifiable and inconclusive Theorem. Yes there are
allot of things in science that they have supposedly proven and then come
back some years later and rewrite.

So some could look at science and say hey that's a whole bunch of hokey, I
won't and nor will I look at those who believe in magic, philosophy,
supernatural phenomena and all that as crazy weird and what not. All in all
they as well as you and me are what make the world a whole place a place
with differences, colors, smells, cultures and most of all individuals.
Individuals that if anything were to happen to them a lifetime of lived
experiences, ideas, values, and life are lost and can never be retrieved.
All the knowledge in the minds of peoples lost to war, hate, disease and
disaster is a treasure lost to countless generations.

So you can keep your hate about things you can not or will not even say "hay
I don't believe in that but you know whatever makes you happy" and go on
with your life instead of passing on hate would not have brought me this far
into this. You think it is your job to tell people to not believe what they
were raised with or what they have experienced? Then you make yourself no
different from those who have persecuted people throughout history.

Do you even know what a non sequitur is..or are y7ou simply repeating
clever phrases you have picked up like a parrot?

The OP goes to the crux of the matter,hypotheses are NOT a product of
any scientific logic, but of imagination.

Once again you confuse conceptualization with operationalization

Even a great mathematical or scientific intellect often associates
images with the advanced thoughts passing through their mind.

James Watson, the discoverer of the double helix structure of DNA,
envisioned a snake eating its own tail as the spark for his
realization. Interestingly, this is one of the oldest and most
universally distributed pictorial symbols known to mankind.

>My aren't you a f.cking windbag.

Yo confuse the OP with your own reflection.

>Show me some evidence of your superstition's 'truth'.

Um..

YOU are making the unsupported assertions here , the onus is on YOU
provide evidence for then.

Hint:telling lies about Richard Dawkin's position does *not* count as
evidence.

You decided such things were not for you, great that's good for you. Also as
an adult you are supposed to learn to get along with others. I guess that's
why you are here you don't have to get along with anyone here. You can try
to push peoples buttons just to get a rise. Interesting. I think the problem
here though is you were force fed religion, it was cramped down your
throat like an ill medicine. All the things children grow up thinking as
fun and pure joy was somehow damaged for you. Why do you think children are
raised to believe such things? Why do you think children are encouraged to
use their imaginations?
Do you know what happens to children who are not allowed to do any of these
such things?
They become unable to totally integrate into the world, I'm not just talking
society, they have a very hard time learning to do simple things. Google it.

>> Then you make yourself no

> and

ok and this makes what I said a religious comment? I am talking about all
people any group, any race, all of human kind has had those who hurt thru
out history there were those who hurt others just because they could. They
had an idea of how the world was to work and they made history through those
dark acts. I do not think I need to make a list do I. Religion had nothing
to do with them, ideas beliefs and many other things not connected to
religion brought them on. I am talking about human nature, we as a people do
not have to believe everything in front of us, nor do we have to push that
belief or non belief onto others.

In reality I have friends from every walk of life, I know people who are
fanatical about things they believe in and I respect that, as long as they
do not push their beliefs onto me or others. I will even take on
conversation to learn what makes it tick to understand the person and the
ideas better. I have pagan friends that are the nicest people I know. I have
friends of just about every major religion on this planet except Mormon. I
have an atheist brother that doesn't scoff so hard as you do, nor does he
flamboyantly call people names because they ask a question.

So all I can say is that you come off very hollow, sad and very bitter about
something. Something that is deep and profoundly hurt. But what, you will
never tell but it doesn't mater, not here. Only for you and those that love
you does it matter. Because as you grow in this world and push out people in
your life that do not believe in what you believe, you loose out on a whole
world, but right now you don't think that matters or do you?

I can assure you I'm one of the happiest people on this planet.  In spite
of, or maybe even because of, things which could make me very unhappy indeed
(which I won't go into, as it's none of your business), and never asked for
any help from an invisible imaginary friend.

You are making stuff up and applying it to me, whom you have never met, and
using meaningless phrases ('grow in this world', 'lose out on a whole
world'.  Is there another world I could grow in?  Not unless those
astronauts get a f.cking move on and build the moon-base.  Lose out what?
I'm in the world and very much of it, how can I lose?)
I have no 'deep and profound' hurt.  I'm happy as the proverbial sand-boy.
And, a note - I don't believe in anything without good evidence.
Another one - what do you mean 'right now you don't think it matters'? What,
I won't get into heaven?  Well, apart from the fact that there isn't one, it
would be awfully boring what with being full of vicars and sanctimonious
gits.

That makes me laugh that you keep brining the back ground humm of religion
into this. As if you are the only person on the planet that is an athiest,
agnosticism beleaving person. You are a theoretical, or contemplative
athiest that dosen't just have a vew of what they believe but whom believes

Again I wasent talking about religion but you seem to pull it out of every

about? It's about nothing at this piont.

Mostly those were not things applied to you. They were questions asked of
you. If it has you stressing I am sorry. This was not meant to be a pissing

upon which I speak.

Good That makes for easier thinking on a lot of things. Heaven? Hell? Again
what do those things mean for what I asked. Nothing, nothing at all. It was
a question but you don't get it so I'm not going to explain it.

I went to the link you have pasted here and was wondering if you don't

rights and amnesty and yet your garbling on about not believing in things?

I am an atheist.  I am not an agnostic.  Atheism is not a belief;  quite the
opposite, in fact..

You are a theoretical, or contemplative

I have a view, but it's nothing to do with belief.  It's acceptance of the
evidence.

You confuse heretics with non-believers.
Folk are rarely burned for not believing ,but rather for propagating
an alternative belief system to current ruling dogma.

From that perspective you are indeed like an Inquisitor-General
attempting to persecute those deviating from your outmoded
19th century dogmas.

Yeah that's similar to what I was pointing out I'm glad someone else at
least caught what I was talking to myself about. But I was not trying to
point anything out about religion simply the fact that were ideas do not
mach there is always conflict, why must there be? Why can people not just
say ok thats a load of something they find disinteresting and walk off
instead of screaming from some high place. Your idea about some obscure
things poofed, made, grew, glued or ground into existence is not my view on
it wahhhh. I like to know others views but not at the cost that they feel
theirs is the utmost and only way.

Yes you were looking for a meeting of minds and a debate.
This is not possible with a fanatic.

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but
the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.
-- Eric Hoffer, The True Believer (1951

Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus
people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new
content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by
nursing a fanatical grievance.

A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.
-- Eric Hoffer (attributed: source unknown)

Well, if someone has not actualized a real identity of their own but
simply apes their parents and teachers,if the ideas they regurgitate
are challenged it throws them into an identity crisis.

--
A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around
them but also against their own selves.

Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.
-- Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind, aph. 225 (1955), quoted
from The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations

The True Believer can never tolerate the possibility of different
views finds a pluralistic society most uncongenial.

They are happier in monolithic dictatorships.

The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness
and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and
his real self.

Not really but I agree it's rather odd to see someone sticking their
fingers in their ears and shouting that they are  "scientific".
LOL!

Your 'view' is totally irrelevant.  However the world came about, it only
came about in one way.  'views' can't alter that.
We have plenty of evidence for how things got here, and into the state they
are now in.

Anything else is makey-uppey fantasy.

   Awww! %-& Even without taking into account the possibility of
bacterial contamination, I think menstrual blood stinks (I mean, even just
after a shower when it begins to flow again) and certainly wouldn't want
to drink it.
