Make a special “living womb” space to cocoon yourself.  Light candles, lay out a special rug or throw.  Adorn yourself with henna tattoos, special jewels or braid your hair.  Wear something relevant: a red shirt, a red wrap, a Moondays T, etc.

Lay out some special stones or goddess images on your altar.  Decorating yourself and your space helps ritualize this time of the month.  It’s a great way to welcome your “friend”.
