I donate blood in her name.... So, I guess it really depends on your interpretation of what I do.

 
I'd see that as a service related to her healing aspect. Seems like an excellent idea.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

I "give" blood to Sekhmet on a regular basis. No, I'm not talking about shoving a needle in my finger and dripping blood on her sacred space. I donate blood in her name. To me, it's the same as "giving" blood to her. I really don't like the negative associations with her because she really is a goddess of multiple facets.

So, I guess it really depends on your interpretation of what I do.


I'm going to add to this by saying that (when it was an issue) Sekhmet didn't want me to worry about the "menstruation taboo".  In fact, She was rather annoyed with me when I chose to follow it despite the fact that She told me not to.

This is UPG, of course.  YMMV.

I never had that issue with her, either. *shrug*
