This cowl was inspired not only by the moon’s cycle but by the women whose menstrual cycles sync up with the full moon. THAT’S RIGHT, you read that correctly. In ancient times, women whose cycle coincided with the full moon were often thought of as healers, possessing mystical powers, and were sometimes even chosen as high priestesses because of this phenomenon. The Red Moon Cowl symbolizes the power of womanhood, embracing the ideology of sacred menstruation.
