Face south. With the third finger of your left hand, rub a few drops of your menstrual blood on the candle. Raise power. Feel the blood's essence drawn into the flame. Let the light warm you and fill you. Feel your own blood as the essence of the life force. Draw light from the candle into your womb. Let it fill you and spread slowly through your entire body from your womb center, charging you with energy and warmth. Bind the spell.
