Note: I want to be polite and not intrusive with this post, so I’ve applied a lot of tags that would allow people to filter it if they’re not comfortable viewing content like this. I thinkI did that right, but I’m not entirely sure, so if anyone knows other ways to make filtering easier, let me know and I can edit this.

This spell is designed to help those who menstruate have an easier, shorter menses, with less pain. It does not involve any herbs or chemicals or ingesting anything - it works purely through sympathetic magick.

As usual, spells (including this one) should not be used as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. This particular spell should not be used if you suspect serious problems - in that case, see a doctor instead. If things are mostly normal for you, or you’d like to use magick in conjunction with medical treatment, you might try this spell.

All you need for this is a small bit of red cloth, paper, or tissue paper. If you don’t have that, you can simply take a small bit of normal paper or tissue and color it red (even just a dot will work!) with a pen or marker. Essentially, you just need something small and unobtrusive that has a red color to it, even if it’s just a small amount of red.

This spell should be performed right after your menses begins. When I use it, I tend to perform it exactly when I realize mine has begun. 

To begin: once you realize your menses has begun, take the scrap of red cloth or paper (etc.) and hold it just in front of your pelvis. Hold it tightly with both hands, and fix your eyes on the red color of the scrap. Then, whisper to yourself:

Red calls to red as redness flows
Cause not pain, nor trouble,
Quickly flow and quickly go.

Slip the bit of red paper/cloth/whatever into a pocket of your pants, skirt, or other attire. If you have no pockets, you can safety pin it to the inside of your garment. Just stash it below your waist in some way, but pockets do work best, and I’ll often wear jeans with pockets specifically so I can do this.

It definitely helps to perform the spell month after month, and the effects seem to be cumulative, with the spell working better each time. This is just what I have noticed from using it for the past seven months. 

There are, of course, herbal remedies and potions that can help ease menstrual symptoms, too, but I’ve not tried many, and most I would not recommend without consulting a doctor first. I tend to drink cinnamon tea, and that helps, too, but still, make sure you’re being safe!

Because period cramps suck, and no one should have to suffer through them
