While the show had definite themes of accepting oneself to succeed in life, and the common interpretation is as a story of a girl growing up. That theory goes a fair bit further.
It specifically claims that her blood offerings are just a representation of "first blood / first period" into puberty. And goes on to say that Kamui are nothing more than a visual representation of gained "power" from no longer being a little girl and overcoming "the male gaze" as a woman.
Does it have merit? Possibly.
Is it true? Only Nakashima truly knows.
Is this the place to really discuss it? Probably not.
