Women! Let the moon illuminate you!

At work we have a forum where people can advertise their old bike, sell their kid's Barbie videos, ask if anyone knows a good plumber, or ask for people to sponsor their sister's workmate's friend's uncle as he runs the Small and Obscure But In Some Way Charitable marathon. It's mostly pretty pedestrian stuff, and occasionally there'll be a decent bargain: $50 for a relatively good 21" TV, fr'instance.

And then there's... well, special things. Things that belong in their own, unique, please-dear-God-let-this-be-a-one-time-thing category. The three ads below belong very firmly in this category; in fact, they reside there so stubbornly and habitually that they're putting out the recycling bins, paying the bills and trimming the gardens in the weekend in case Marg and Trev from next door pop over for a barbecue. They aren't an example so much as the definition.

Don't worry, they're perfectly safe for work. Just... special. You may need to click on the images to read all of the text. (It's totally worth it.)
And if that isn't moon-escent and consciously enhanceable enough for you, there's an equivalent for the mature woman in your life:
Enough, do you think? No, of course you don't! You're thinking, "Hmmm, I am moon-escent and consciously enhanced, and my older friends are now enriched with self-knowledge in a universal dimension, but I feel like I want more".

You're right to think that, oh truly self-possessed reader. You want to be able to inflict this... moon-escence onto the next generation, as well. To truly trauma- er, spread the spiritual exploration and love.

I share only because I care deeply about your transitions to insanity, dear readers. (And because the idea that someone in the world is working as a Menstruality Educator causes amazement in oh so many ways.)

"Menarche" sounds like the name of a pharaoh, which makes the third poster read even more strangely.

Does anyone else notice the squiggly green underlines? And what looks like a cursor at the start of the second poster?

makes it look like they printed it by taking a screen shot of word, and then printing that???

'Conscious menstruality'. Maybe if I think about it enough it will stop happening???

Nato - That's cos I emailed the Word docs home to myself then took a screenshot of them to get them small enough to put on the interwebs. Despite turning off all the formatting marks, those ones still stuck. But it gives an indication of the kwality of the publication :D

Ruth - how awesome would that be?! I can see a spate(?) of new positive-thinking books coming out that are aimed at women and based on that idea :P If you get in quick, you'll make millions!

...I'd be kind of interested to hear what she had to say. Maybe not for $185 though.

Also, I'm sorry but, the logo... wow. Am I wrong for seeing what I think I'm seeing?
