Original post: Hangatyr 13
[QUOTE=daxyl]Please take a look at Norse Mythology and Runen Lore. This came before the church and blood was a very important part of their tradition. Look at, for example, a ritual and rite to Odin called 'blood eagle'.
I'm sure the church is responsible for blowing many things out of proportion, which in turn led to new practices that never existed before hand. For example, Malleus Maleficarum.
Yet, blood magic is real, and has in fact been practiced by many cultures long before Joseph saw a twinkle in Mary's eye.[/QUOTE]Maybe someone should come up with a definition for exactly what blood sacrifice is. Would human sacrifice be considered blood sacrifice or would blood sacrifice entail only the sacrifice of one's own blood? The Blood Eagle was a a ritual of human sacrifice to Tyr (okay maybe Odin too) in which the lungs and vicera of the victim, usually a prisoner of war, were pulled out of the victim's back after sections of his ribcage were cut out. The internal organs pulled out of the victim's back resembled bloody wings and sometimes, the victim was put on display. I don't know if that would be considered blood sacrifice, but you're right, daxyl: blood sacrifice no matter how you define it was definitely practiced long before Christianity by the old heathens because it works, and come on, do you really expect something for nothing?
I, personally, have used my blood to curse as well as consecrate. I've used it both to load the runes in my taufr and to honor the gods with my pain and life force. When I was a kid, I used blood to sign a pact with Satan. I don't get into devil-worship anymore (no offence to anyone here, I have my reasons), but I still intend to honor that pact, in fact, I feel I have no choice. Ah, the power of blood.

I would have to say all the above qualifies as blood sacrifice. "Let's not limit the concept of blood sacifice to one's own alone!"

I didn't think much of the book "Blood Magick" by Seth, the only thing interesting to me was a section on using an animal's blood in order to do a stronger astral shape shifting. The book also was very small...
I would suggest locating other books concerning this area of field...

I'm really quite interested in blood use during ritual, as I take a psychological approach to magick and tend to think it's got some very strong subconscious connotations. Sadly, though, the only knives or such we've got in the house are some dull-assed steak knives, and I don't relish the thought of sawing through my finger with one of those puppies =( Soon as I can get a sharp enough knife, though -- which'll probably be after I pay off my speeding tickets, heh -- I'll give it a shot, finally.

Another method you could use is the following: As my wife is a Nurse, I simply have her draw my blood as needed. "A cheap way out, I know, but it works!" Also it eliminates the risk of infection to a very high degree............ as long as everything is sterilized, that is.

[QUOTE=Kain]I haven't either...I pretty much feel blood's function in ritual is mainly psychological(meaning that it doesn't necessarily make any real difference with it's presence) .[/QUOTE]
thats pretty funny coming from someone who calls themself kain.
i just thought id have a laugh at that irony.
a practitioners blood is one of there most essential assets, if theyre worth anything as a practitioner, that is. the elements are first place though.

[QUOTE=daxyl]Now only to stain self-made Runes when I bind them.
When I was younger I drew personal symbols of power in blood on the walls of a new room and then would paint over them. Even though the decor wasn't necessarily out of the ordinary, etc., it was often people would comment about being uncomfortable in my room and leave.
Concerning personal rites and rituals, I find blood can be very therapeutic when some intense emotions are involved; a powerful release, but I haven't felt a need to do this for many years.[/QUOTE] How long have you been involved in the occult? Where in Germany do you live. My wife and I travel to Kassel yearly to conduct exorcisms.

My blood stays in my body. I cant see the purpose in letting it. I know for ritual, but as i am my own central spiral i cant see the logic of taking from me to give to me.
Educating me wont help your cause, i am my god. As you are.
I do not ritualize my time. i speak only to myself in the dark. each to there own reason for advancement

Damn, that's the coolest thing I've heard all day. That certainly beats cutting yourself all up. Do you draw only enough blood for one operation at a time?Another method you could use is the following: As my wife is a Nurse, I simply have her draw my blood as needed.

I have her draw as much as I feel is needed for success. You needn't draw that much though (two vials) should be more than enough for any magickal operation. And yes, I only draw for the magick being worked at that moment.

makes sense to me. you need the blood, not a bunch of designer scar tissue...I have her draw as much as I feel is needed for success. You needn't draw that much though (two vials) should be more than enough for any magickal operation. And yes, I only draw for the magick being worked at that moment.

Designer scar tissue...
You could set up a situation where the act of cutting and the resulting spilt blood are used to permanently empower a sigil. The sigil could be the actual wound pattern cut into the flesh.
When I execute this procedure I first write a spell on parchment paper, using blood saturated ink. Then I will burn the spell in a bronze vessel. Once I've cut the sigils I clean the wound (usually the excess blood goes into a container for future use), then rub the ash into the wound. The ash will cause the formation of elevated scar tissue, the end result being a contoured sigil of significant potency.
Though I would suggest lots of practice with your bladework before you try it, mistakes are permanent.
