Please Bleed!

Plants & Practical Magic


PleaseBleedv7.jpg

This book is a detailed & thoughtful guide to herbal options for fertility management as “Plan B” in the case of an accidental sperm exposure. The information is intended to be utilized by folks who are aware of the timing of both their fertile window & the date of their next expected menses, not for use as a regular contraception method, nor means for herbal abortion. This offering provides insight into how one may ally with the wisdom & power of plants to maintain the integrity of one’s ovulation & menstrual cycle, therefore avoiding undesired pregnancy.

“Please Bleed!” is primarily composed of excerpts from the my robust & in depth Conscious Contraception Skillshare. Within its pages you’ll find:

  • Anatomy & physiology of the Fertility Awareness Method of Contraception

  • Anatomy & physiology & biochemistry of ovulation, conception & implantation

  • A clear distinction between herbal emmenagogues & abortifaciants

  • Clear definition of implantation inhibition vs. abortion

  • Psycho-spiritual guidance for finding your “Sacred Yes” in avoiding pregnancy

  • Sex positive cheerleading, sass, & wisdom from my nearly 20 years of praxis avoiding pregnancy without consuming from the medical industrial complex

  • Botanical illustrations by Maureen Walrath

  • Materia medica of a dozen strong emmenagogues, including folklore, parts used, & effects on hormonal, nerve, & tissue states

  • Demystification & my honest opinion of herbal abortion

  • Robust resource section including herbal references, sacred sexuality, & my fav fertility awareness educators

Praise for Please Bleed!

What a wonderful book!

It is so profoundly wise; I’m sure it will inspire all those who are lucky enough to read it. This is the kind of break-through consciousness we were trying to offer people in the “self help” movement.

Reading Please Bleed! was a truly nourishing experience for me.

Every work I read from Samantha Zipporah enhances my intellect, expands my consciousness, & helps me generate more self-love. This “Please Bleed” offering will change lives by providing a uniquely accessible & intriguing resource for fertile folx seeking opportunities to combine womb & plant ecology with thoughtful decision-making. I feel grateful for “Please Bleed” for giving me more reverence & more power, both of which contribute to more joyful experiences involving sex & menstruation.

Please Bleed is radical, practical, accessible & necessary. Sam amplifies generations of collective wisdom, combined with her own decades of experience to offer a smart well structured guide on encouraging menstruation. The sections on plant medicine & practical magic (ranging from rituals to orgasms) cover information that many people are looking to learn in an era of restricted access to healthcare & abortion. Use this as a guide to engage in conversations with those around you about what liberated reproductive healthcare looks like.

Please Bleed is an invitation to become informed & empowered. The philosophy of the sacred yes what is the truly radical element of this work. A hand extended in support that cuts through the procreative noise of the dominant culture to offer reassurance of our bodily autonomy a &visceral intuitions.

Knowledge is power &Please Bleed offers just that. I suggest reading this work now.
