A ritual for my Daughter

[Dragonmother]

Little Dragonette isn't so little any more! She has begun her menses, in fact, and I am not happy about it- she seems too damn young, you know? I suppose, no matter what age a girl starts, her mother thinks it's too soon. Ah, well. In any case, I would like to add a ritual for her to our Midsummer celebration, welcoming her into Womanhood, and requesting The Lady's protection and guidance (and some of our males will have to swear fealty to her, I think) Anyone have any suggestions?
I just picked up a terrific book- "Rituals from The Crystal Well" by Ed Fitch. I like the rituals therein very much, and wonder if there is something along those lines that I could work from.

They get younger every year. My daughter is eight and in 2nd grade. I was in 4th when mine started so its most likely not long for her. I know its hard to see your baby growing up. They were just in diapers yesterday. *sigh* I sympathise with you. :)

Dragonmother, give dragonette a hug from us to welcome her to womanhood. That's wonderful that you're going to do something so special for her.

Most of the people there are very friendly, and moonwillow, the owner has a lot of rituals and things that might be able to help you.

There was a book recommended there just recently, called.... (looking)... "Blessings of the Blood". I checked out Amazon.com, they don't have it, and Barnes&Noble say to check out their retailers, they don't have it in stock, but you might be able to locate it somehow. There's always eBay! :)

Blessings of the Blood: A book of Menstrual Lore and Rituals for Women by Celu Amberston

I would definitely recommend checking out the Moontime club though, I am considering joining up again, it's been a while since I've posted there and I kind of miss it.
