blood

[PitBehemoth]

some rituals require you to write with your own blood, but I'm not much of a bleeder so pricking my finger wouldn't allow me to write much. what are your thoughts on creating an ink with my blood by mixing it with alcohol? would it be as effective?

[Desecrated]

If you need a lot of blood, use someone else.

If you need your own blood, the act of drawing it is enough. even if you just get a drop on the paper, the fact that you are ready to bleed for it makes it fairly strong.

Get yourself a supply of those diabetic finger pricker things. You'll bleed just fine. If you are hell-bent on creating an ink instead, adding your blood to an ink along with other elements related to your goal will work fine.

Good point

If you need blood in general you can also simply go to a butcher to ask for it. As things like black pudding also require blood this shouldn't rise any questions.

I like this answer best. [eg]

I also think a drop for ink is sufficient as in rituals where I use blood like that it's for the establishment or upkeep of a personal and energetic connection,it dosen't take much for association purposes.

Eww.Black pudding [eek] [blood sausage]...I canny stomach it personally,but it's very popular here,traditionally.You can even get it swathed in batter and deep fried.Mmmmm... [shock2]
