Hey everyone - the "Vampire Sanguinomicon" book that I talked about at the end of this video seems to be out of print. I bought it for under $30. Please don't spend more than that on a copy! I'm not sure why they are being listed as so expensive right now or why (if) it did go out of print. That's lame if it did!
Thank you for posting this. I am just getting into magic more seriously and have watched several of your vids and absolutely love them. The Sigil vid is my favorite! Again, I appreciate you posting this.
Does that book or any of the others in this video have information about those blood-drinking shamans you talked about who believe the soul is in the blood? I can't seem to find any source of information on this.
I live with chronic pain and a genetic blood disease. When I worked with the demon King Purson a few years back, I gave him blood as sacrifice, but I felt my blood was inferior because of my disease. One day I asked him about it. I asked him if my blood was worthy of him. Then, clear as day, I felt him say 'sacrifice is sacrifice.' It is the thought behind the act that counts. Because he can't experience life like we can, he experiences it through the essence. Ever since then, I've come to appreciate it. My particular illness is two-fold - it harms and it brings life. I can utilize it both ways when I need to. Sorry for the long-winded comment, I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about this aspect of subject, so I wanted to put my two cents in.
That's so crazy bcuz I currently have hep C and I was thinking the same thing, ya know that my blood wouldn't be good enough! Thank you for posting this🙏
Blood Magick is soooo misunderstood in the magical community. Im so glad that this video exists to really break down what blood magick IS and what it ISNT.
I understand your concerns regarding your safety, given how brutal the internet can get. I must say, having this video here is a privilege. I hope you can keep it up, given how educational your content is and how scarce resources on this topic are. Thank you!
I had a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding and i was so weirded out at first i thought what if i reject it or just knowing someone's blood was gonna go in my body i was terrified. Now i have this weird sense of appreciation for someone I've never even met. I can imagine this is how people with transplants feel?
Although I’ve not tried this type of magic, this video was very well done. It gave a great balance of caution and intrigue, in my opinion. And if you decide to keep it channel only, I would absolutely respect that. This topic is not for everyone. Thanks again for the great videos you do.
Ivy’s GOING THERE and I’m here for it! I always find your takes on controversial subjects refreshing and balanced. This is a really good discussion - no mysterious enticement, no pearl clutching, just solid info and opinions that let the viewer decide for themselves whether it’s for them or not.
As an enchanter and glass/metal artist I have learned that some projects demand blood to get things to the energy level I want. I once saw an artist drawing of hands covered in cuts and bandages with plants growing from the wounds, it reminded me a lot of how I use blood magick. Lovely video Ivy
It was definitely not planned or studied as proper blood magic but I remember the very first "spell" I did with my wife was a mutual protection spell that came from the need to keep each other safe after we had a loss in the family that really shook our foundations. Part of it was a drop of blood we shared from each others. I can't imagine how problematic and anxiety inducing it must have been to make a video like this, and indeed to share it with a general audience to kudos and thanks for this Ivy 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🙏🖤 I am testing the waters with this video... Depending on how people respond, I may change the privacy settings after a while. We'll see!
I have health issues that make my blood 🩸 clot super fast (nightmare getting blood tests even with children’s needles) so it’s very difficult & painful to get a decent amount of blood with a lancet. Before becoming a Crone menstrual blood was much easier for me to gather. Now, in most instances, instead of blood I swab my inner cheek to transfer my dna 🧬 for taglocks & I will also use spit in the ways I used to use blood. I do still use blood in a few situations where I do feel it is essential for me to do so. Great video Ivy 🖤
So sorry to hear about your health issues. That definitely makes things a lot harder! I have the opposite problem in that I don't menstruate at all due to my health issues so a finger prick is the only option 😂 We make do with what we have and that's okay! Spit is an excellent taglock!
So I have super sensitive gums and sometimes when I brush my teeth my gums bleed, so if I'm doing a spell or ritual and I want to incorporate my own blood into it I've been known to take a tissue and dab the blood from around my teeth and use the tissue in whatever work I'm doing. Has been 10/10 useful tbh.
Just sending some love and appreciation because I see how iffy you were about putting this out to the public. Your channel has been so helpful to me for providing inspiration as I revisit my practice after taking a pregnancy/post partum hiatus. Thank you for putting the energy into making this! Sending you lots of positive vibes ❤
This is such a powerful and important video! Thank you for creating this Ivy, bl00d magick is so so misunderstood and this video gave a TON of valuable information about what it actually is!
I know that the stigma makes this difficult to share, but just want to let you know I really appreciate you making content on this topic and would love more in the future
This was the most comprehensive class on this subject that I've ever seen, you definitely did it justice. It's not part of my personal practice but it's still an important magical practice.
Love that lip color, Ivy. I save my moon blood to feed my plants. I got a dying lime tree to come to life and fruit 😇 Shoot! Moon blood contains the building blocks of life
I am diabetic, as well as a resident care aide, most of the lancing devices require you to put in a lancet (the little plastic item with a sharp end) before the device is ready. Yes, wash hands, but also use an alcohol wipe before and after. Washing your hands does not always sterilize the skin. You can get all of these supplies at most pharmacies in the diabetic care section. Also, you should have some sort of sharps container, for safety and health reasons. You can get them at a pharmacy as well as online. thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful and informative.
Informative and helpful! In my culture, my ancestors would use cloth that a woman had her period on as a way to keep out malevolent spirits. The reason was that period blood was seen as “dirty” so it scared them away but I think it’s because menstrual blood is so powerful since it represents the after effects of creation (birth) itself.
I had a tattoo artist when I was younger who was also a great conversationalist and held many similar beliefs to me and I was talking about the energy exchange happening during the tattooing process and he said, "Oh yeah, it's a very shamanic experience, there is bloodletting happening," and I just thought that was such a cool perspective, and I definitely carried it with me, especially when I began later tattooing my friends and myself.
Thank you so much for doing this video! It's so refreshing to hear someone speak openly about topics like this! Enough "spells for beginners" content, I'm so glad you keep pushing to teach more advance knowledge and techniques!
awesome video. i don't feel like anything was over the top or offending, but you never know with youtube! not sure if this is for me, but what an excellent introduction, you did so much research and great editing, thank you as always.
Thank you for your kind words! I don't think anything was too over the top or offending either but I would hate for this video to fall into the wrong hands. I will most likely post this publicly and see how it goes for a few days - then change it to "channel members only" if the general public can't handle it!
Thank you so much for covering this topic within the occult! Blood is my absolute #1 tool in magic - next to my own hair. Very potent! I love how you broke down each detail very thoroughly, it really sheds light on something that often seems to grim (which personally I love grim lol) I've always used a simple pin to extract my blood I used to use a knife but realized how unnecessary it was lol. I absolutely agree with the pain aspect, it is necessary and is a small price to pay. I've used blood magic on my talismans & sigils and they work beautifully! 🤘🍎🐍 Funny side note: because of my martial arts training, I often develop scabs on my knuckles from punching the makiwara (a conditioning tool) I usually just rip my scabs off and get the blood I need from that lol - yeah that $h!t hurts but it's worth it! 🤣
I appreciate you taking the time to explain Blood Magick, I’ve made a video on it also, it’s one of my favorite form of Magick. Within the Sanguinarian Vampyre community, they make sure the Crimson Swan get checked by a doctor to make sure they are healthy enough to get fed on. It’s definitely good to be responsible. Vampyre Sanguinomicon is one of my favorite books and Vampire Codex. I also recommend Vampyre Magick if you’ve hadn’t read it yet 😍
4:51 Okay that is AWESOME!!! And it explains the anime Hellsing Ultimate vampire lore. Now I really really want to know more about these blood shamans.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but it saddens me to read the comments and your worry the general public will be upset about these topics. As long as you aren't harming anyone, then why the taboo on blood in general when it comes to witchcraft? Using your own blood? Who cares? My practice personally however is more towards lucid dreaming, astral work, spirits, nature and such but I still accept and respect we all have different paths and what works for us. Maybe I'm just way more open minded than most, I don't know 😂 I have been told that by people but seriously though. You are an amazing RUclipsr in the witchy community. I absolutely love your energy, how well researched you are and jus well, I think you're awesome! You do whatever works best for you.
YASSS Queen! Ty Mama Ivy, so grateful for all of your content. I love the way you tackle a topic, so elegant, yet simplistic, so knowledgeable, Im so glad I found you girl! You rock, keep it up ❤
Love this video! I think people should be aware of how pricking their fingers in a graveyard is dangerous not only spiritually but as a biological hazard. I know of a pregnant woman who had a little hole in their finger, she went and cleaned her grandpa grave. 2-3 days later she had a sepsis (sorry if wrong, I’m not a native speaker ) and they both died. There’s literally little pieces of dead people and microorganisms there. Beyond that, i think 🩸is a important spiritual energy, it’s very used in the consecration of magick knifes and blades.
Excellent video and book recommendations. I have used my blood for specific tools. Sometimes when I'm making them it will happen anyway and I just go with it, even in my garden. Thank you!
Awesome video! Due to my background before witchcraft this always seemed an off limits practice to me, even kind of scary. I wasn't going to watch this as I have no desire to incorporate this into my practice, but knowledge always gets ride of fear and prejudice. I'm so glad I did!! This was really informative, and not taboo at all. Knowledge is Power, thanks for posting! Peace/Love
I use blood for taglocks, like for example linking a rune set I am making to me or a charm. I can not use needles though as I have extreme needle phobia so I either prick my finger with the tip of a scalpel, not something I recommend as it is allot less safe, or I just have my runes ready as when I accidentally nick a finger in the kitchen or something I mix blood with paint and then finish my runes.
One comment I do want to make is that bloodwork for ancestors is definitely dependent on your ancestral tradition - for example using it for Jewish or Abrahamic ancestors would not go over well (in my experience). From my spiritual framework (Solomonic magic), I am personally heavily against blood in any spirit work or pact creation because of how powerful it is. You can have pacts that are powerful and personal without it (and my hot take it that doing so means you are being lazy and unwilling to put forth the effort of creating and maintaining a two-way spirit relationship). Kudos to you, Ivy, for discussing a controversial topic!
thank you so much for using ur platform to break the myths. i also appreciate ur concerns about if you were gonna post here, so i want to say i am honored to have the opportunity to watch this :)
I just LOVE how you have the guts to talk about taboo topics on your channel, I applaud you 👏👏👏 I have not used blood in my practice yet mostly do to me not liking pain. I would prefer to use sea men since it's very close to blood, in my opinion. I agree with the menstrual blood not really being a sacrifice since it happens very often. I would say someone who is having brain fog or something like that should not do blood magick. I have been changing my Dad's dialysis wounds A LOT lately and almost everytime I think "I could use this in spells" 😂🤣😂🤣I haven't though.
This is so interesting, because I view menstral blood as almost like a "first born child" type of offering. It has the potency of creation in it and I've used it very effectively for manifestation in the sphere of creation. I think it just depends on your own relationship with your cycle and perspective on the blood itself.
This video was incredibly helpful and informative! As a beginner, I don't plan to do any blood magick myself for a while, but it's something that has always intrigued and called out to me. I've always wanted to look into it but have always been nervous of ending up in the wrong spaces. This video was a perfect place to start and it puts me at ease to have the knowledge I need to start once I find myself ready. I hope this video may stay public so it can help others like me, but the internet is a dangerous place and safety is always a priority. I feel truly blessed to have been able to watch this, and I sincerely hope only those who are understanding and respectful find it.
Thank you so much for this video, and all your content on your channel. Learnt a lot and gained clarity, and I would definitely read any book that you write❤ since you have a great sense of open mindedness and respect for all sorts of practices, which I believe is what makes the world a more liveable place to live. Restores balance in the world when people like you are doing so much in the occult community, are respectful, true to their power and open minded. Thank you for being you! Plus I love your background in science, and how you mentioned in one of your videos that you are deeply invested in bringing science and spirituality together. You are already doing it!
Thanks for this thoughtful introduction to the subject. Regarding a book, perhaps THE book to offer a deep dive into blood magic, i would definitely read yours if you wrote it. :)
Great intro Ivy, well covered on whether you'll publish this video or keep it for members only. This is awesome! Thank you for putting this together. I've been studying blood magick and even bought the diabetic lance to use. It's a hard question, it's possible your video on Blood Magick may have a lot of thumbs down by the general public who happen onto this video; but at the same time.... I'm subscribed and channel member to a couple of content creators and they have some videos only for members, I guess they deal with upset non-channel members behind the scenes. I know of a content creator I'm subbed too but not a member and there was a whole issue about her monetizing a video and she responded by making another video to defend herself...not a good idea as it created even more drama.
Thank you so much for your thoughts. This is something I fear as well... If I post it for channel members only, I know there will be some subscribers upset by that. Part of me doesn't want to deal with that backlash but then the other part of me doesn't want to deal with the general public. I might post this publicly, see how it goes, and change it to channel members only later on if people can't handle it. 😂
@@IvyTheOccultist You know, that is such a great idea! To post the video to the public and see what happens, it's the middle ground as you can make it for members again if need be.
Thank you for talking about this, I think you did an amazing job describing the importance of this in someone’s spiritual practice so thank you, blood and pain is always looked down upon as a bad thing. But just like everything in life and especially in our chaos, it is what we make it. 🌻🖤
I love this channel. Beginner information is phenomenal, but once you’ve practiced for a number of years, especially in the midwestern area I live in, it can be very difficult to access these more advanced topics. Thank you for deciding to share with the public, this is fascinating!
Really good video (: thank you for this. Ive been wanting to do blood magick for a long time. However I believe there is a lot more sacred powerful symbolism to using menstrual blood magick. There is so much beautiful symbolism that is also potent and magical with menstral blood. Because menstral blood is the product of what the female body does to prepare the womb space for the creation of all life. That is sacred. Not to mention our menstrual blood connects us to our sacred divinity femininity, our sensuality, sexuality, our passions, our creativity, our fertility. It also connects us to Mother Earth as each phase of the menstral cycle is energetically the same as a season. And allows you to connect to mother moon and the 4 major moon phases . It connects you to spirit, it connects you to the wild woman within. Their is so much sacredness and beautiful symbolism to the menstrual cycle, and can absolutely be used for empowerment, confidence, self love, connects to the dark feminine, connect to your inner wisdom from the womb connects you to your maternal bloodline , connecting to mother earth, and mother moon . The fact that we can bleed so profusely and not collapse in death is sacred itself. And there is absolutely warrior energy to menstrual blood. When I shed this from my body, my body produces extreme back pains and cramps, and the patricharcal society and made it so that we have to tough our way through those pains and work/go to school as if we weren't dying inside. Women who expierence serious menstraul symptoms are absolute warriors because they have to be moms, be waitress, work always, nurses, doctors, as if they aren't going through serious things with their body. That is warrior queen energy. An alchemy of both the feminine and masculine. It is a symbol of strength. Even if its not fresh, It's primitive, it is raw, sacred. Menstraul blood is powerful, it was said that some prevous cultures would isolate women while they were menstrating so that they could connect with the divine. Just wanted to give another perspective (: ❤ love your videos !!
Okay I'm at 8:36 in video. I wonder what could happen if you summon a spirit into blood. Like have them possess their blood offering and use that as their physical body for a while. And then maybe you drink the possessed blood.
Great video Ivy! Very informative and you guided everyone to find their own beliefs in how they would want to use blood. You only spoke about your personal truths and your suggestions. Thanks for the book recommendations also!! ❤
Thank you so much for this video. ❤ I love how you approached the subject. ❤ On another note, i read that in some ancient traditions menstrual blood was poured over fields for purposes of fertility and abundant crops, usually duing full moon. Out of curiosity, would you say, in your opinion, menstrual blood could be used in fertility rituals or would you rather see it as a discharge and prefer to use blood you draw from your finger?
Oh fertility rituals are perfectly appropriate for menstrual blood in my opinion! 😍 I hope I conveyed that in the video but I don't think I did. 😂 Yes, divine feminine and fertility! ❤️❤️
My gurrrlll! 🤗 **sigh** Love ya for making this, love ya for sharing this, and just love ya and appreciate the heck out of ya, gosh darn it!!! For super reals tho…I really respect and love that you don’t shy away from topics that might make the majority ‘uncomfortable’ or aren’t spoken of often. PLUS, just because majority doesn’t ‘talk’ about a certain subject, that DOES NOT mean no one’s doing it!! Sharing your thoughts, tips, perspectives, and safety advice surrounding something as potent & magical as Blood Magick is immensely important work (I think at least 😂🤷♀️)! Thanks for being ‘you’ ♥️ always, all ways
I love how informative and intriguing your videos are. Thank you for doing this subject justice and also using the caution you did. I hope everyone can be mature in the comment section and use the same amount of caution when using this practice. I really loved your input about what kinds of blood to use in different circumstances as some of those haven't occurred to me, even after having read up on the subject and using it here and there. And just in case it isn't said enough, I appreciate you!
In hellenic context blood magick for the act of devotion isn't really a thing, it is seen as miasmic (spiritual pollution) as was in the sense of religiosity seen as a bad thing to go by a shrine. Romans were wishy-washy surrounding blood sacrifice (see the seminar about lady bellona in this year's touta galation comreton). But in many other pagan cultures blood was used more (still not as usual as Hollywood seems to make it)
You mentioned that you had experience in at least researching Solomonic magick before. I would love a video introducing the basic principles or possibly what the system is about? I am fascinated by ceremony magick, but it is extremely difficult to find objective perspectives when researching this system.
Hi ivy , I hope you're keeping well,I've not commented on any of your videos before but felt the need to on this one, this video is amazing and so much information,thank you, sending you many blessings of good health,joy and happiness to you ❤ and I forgot to say I totally agree with you about animals , I've never and never would hurt or sacrifice an inconnce animal as animals are sacred 💯 and I'm a massive animal lover, no need for animal blood in any rituals 😢 once again sending you many good blessings ❤
One of the rituals I perform The Red Mass, which is an eucharistic ritual to Babalon similar to the Mass of The Phoenix, requires blood placed in the wine prior to consumption. I use a lancet to extract the blood and generally use three drops.
Thank you for sharing this information publicly. I'm taking notes just in case you have to pull it back behind a paywall, which I understand if you do. Again thank you.
Thought. You mentioned blood as a tag lock. I wonder if this is also why some places hold the spirit /ghost/ essence of someone's if they were unalived in a way there was blood?
I consider this topic way too advanced for me as a baby witch who is more inclined to herbs, crystals and the light easy stuff lol. But I really appreciate the way you approach everything in a very neutral and respectful manner. Thank you for that. Paganism and occultism is no place for taboos imo.
Definitely don't do anything that you're uncomfortable with. But for reference I started doing magick in 2019 and I've already done some blood magick. The main thing I've done was the black book ritual in weaving fate. It's not in any way negative, just a really fucking powerful hypersigil. (So I guess it could be negative if you desire to use it that way) but yeah. I'd say be careful but also don't hold yourself back unless you really need to.
@@Myke_thehuman Thanks for the insight! I'm still not comfortable with certain types of magick but I'm sure it's just the lack of experience and deeper knowledge :)
Ivy, what do you think of an individual adding drops of their own🩸to war water (made as a form of holy water w/iron powder or slack/slag water from our local blacksmiths if I can get it!) This is something I would use only for banishing and or warding, with a focus on Spiritual Dominion and blocking nasty paranormal entities. Could it be used in a witch bottle for the same reason? Thank you for insight!
Hi Thank you for your amazing videos. They help me out so much. Maybe I'll use blood later in my practice aswell, who knows. Ofcourse as I am not that far in my practice and do struggle with sh, it is not a good idea at all to use it now, but I do find it interesting. So thank you again for your videos. I hope you have an awesome day :) One (off topic) question: What is that song on the end, the instrumental one? I love that sm, I need that in my playlist haha.
Thank you for sharing this very controversial topic! I have not yet done this type of magic or ritual yet but have always been interested! Part of the reason is because I get queezy seeing my own blood 🤣 lol I can’t even watch when blood gets drawn at the drs lol. But maybe it would be different if I was doing it 🤔 but haven’t dared to try yet 😂. Thank you Ivy! Your so awesome
Oh my goodness. I can’t believe you posted this masterpiece. Thank you, Ivy. I have a question regarding safety of the consumption of blood. Would it be safe to bake something when the whole batch has one or two drops of blood? Not sure how blood bacteria works, as it is further in the body and might be more resistant to heat, but I know that normally, you can kill bacteria by boiling/cooking, so I’m curious if I decided to let’s say, make a batch of cookies with one or two drops of my blood as an offering to Hades, would it also be safe for me to consume? Would scab blood work fine or would the pain be null, so it’s not as strong? As someone who has a habit of picking my scabs, I’m curious if it would work?
I absolutely love this video I use my blood very often and my practice I have a small vial of my blood I keep in the refrigerator and I did not have to harm myself to get this if you know what I mean there's other ways I will keep that personal and how thank you for sharing i love this
I had a terrible experience with my partner after showing them this video and the one about energy vampyrism with one of your lovely guests. They tried taking my energy during a love making session without permission after coming home from college. They succeeded it felt nice at first but this was a major lesson that Something my feel good but your body can still register it as trauma And trauma isn't soul or spirit connecting at all after what transpired next. After my research into spirituality/the craft/ everything magical, I know that I am not a super sensitive soul that is the only person who could have experienced something so perspective shattering and painful. A lot of things we do as humans aren't necessarily progressive but on this kind of plateau. It may work for you and your path, There is multiple paths to get where we are all going. I just wanted to share this so that whenever I stubble upon your videos I don't have the worst attachment to them and in case anyone out there wen't through a similar dark night of the soul situation. Your a great creator and I don't want to send any bad vibes to you. You seem always ready to learn and pleasant.
Love it!! But I disagree about menstrual blood. I think it's great for manifesting bc it's loaded with stem cells, +nutrients, designed to grow a human, so it has super creative potential
Question - Do you have to use fresh blood every time, or could you just smear a large amount of blood on a notecard, let it dry, and then cut it into small squares to use whenever you want to do a ceremony? Usually if a get a random injury or nosebleed I'll keep the blood on a notecard. I'm just wondering if the blood loses its magic if the same batch was already used for a previous magic working, and I need to use a fresh batch of blood every time.
Regarding using menstrual blood, I have worked with it to deep and meaningful results, and find it to be incredibly valuable in certain types of rituals and practices. In my experience and due to what the particular tissues released from our body are meant for as they were created, it holds powerful energies of fertility, hope, nurturing and support, connecting and bonding, welcoming and bringing in the new, creation and the liminal, and of course Divine Feminine essence. I personally don´t associate period blood with discarding (even if it´s eventually discarded) but rather with the energy for which it was created. Otherwise, we would not be using many things in magical practice such as discarded animal remains such as antlers, feathers or discarded plant matter like branches etc. However, I do agree that period blood is not appropriate as a blood sacrifice. In many traditions, it has been used and revered as a woman´s sacred bond to the womb of the Earth (as that is where our period blood ultimately ends up anyway), a way that our female ancestors energetically and symbolically connected to the land and Earth in a way that men could not.
This videos is so so good thanks for sharing this with us clearly this subject us dear to your heart ♥ I would understand if you want this video private kept doing what you do 😊😊
I did a blood magic spell with my Ex Boyfriend but we only used a little blood and it was just a needle pick on are finger and we both are hands together and that was all we did!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I should point out that when I did this I was new to the craft but my Ex had been doing witchcraft since he was 19 and he was in his 40's and I believe what he was saying to me and I would never just give my blood or take someone's blood unless that where my lover and we had already been together for a while
Yes blood magic is wonderful but definitely not for beginners, i agree. SO powerful. I've used it for activating my BOS and dedicating myself to the Devil and Lilith.
Hey everyone - the "Vampire Sanguinomicon" book that I talked about at the end of this video seems to be out of print. I bought it for under $30. Please don't spend more than that on a copy! I'm not sure why they are being listed as so expensive right now or why (if) it did go out of print. That's lame if it did!
I believe there are re-releases coming with an updated edition.
Thank you for posting this. I am just getting into magic more seriously and have watched several of your vids and absolutely love them. The Sigil vid is my favorite! Again, I appreciate you posting this.
The book has been updated and rereleased under a different title.
"Strigoi Vii, Path of the Living Vampyre. Revised Sanguinomicon and Vampyre Magick".
Does that book or any of the others in this video have information about those blood-drinking shamans you talked about who believe the soul is in the blood?
I can't seem to find any source of information on this.
I live with chronic pain and a genetic blood disease. When I worked with the demon King Purson a few years back, I gave him blood as sacrifice, but I felt my blood was inferior because of my disease. One day I asked him about it. I asked him if my blood was worthy of him. Then, clear as day, I felt him say 'sacrifice is sacrifice.' It is the thought behind the act that counts. Because he can't experience life like we can, he experiences it through the essence. Ever since then, I've come to appreciate it. My particular illness is two-fold - it harms and it brings life. I can utilize it both ways when I need to.
Sorry for the long-winded comment, I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about this aspect of subject, so I wanted to put my two cents in.
Thank you for this comment. It brings a unique perspective ❤
That's so crazy bcuz I currently have hep C and I was thinking the same thing, ya know that my blood wouldn't be good enough! Thank you for posting this🙏

@@IvyTheOccultist you've taught me a lot. Mad respect
I had a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding and i was so weirded out at first i thought what if i reject it or just knowing someone's blood was gonna go in my body i was terrified.

Although I’ve not tried this type of magic, this video was very well done. It gave a great balance of caution and intrigue, in my opinion. And if you decide to keep it channel only, I would absolutely respect that. This topic is not for everyone. Thanks again for the great videos you do.
Thank you so much. 🙏 I will probably post this publicly and see how it goes for a few days! 🥰
Ivy’s GOING THERE and I’m here for it! I always find your takes on controversial subjects refreshing and balanced. This is a really good discussion - no mysterious enticement, no pearl clutching, just solid info and opinions that let the viewer decide for themselves whether it’s for them or not.
As an enchanter and glass/metal artist I have learned that some projects demand blood to get things to the energy level I want. I once saw an artist drawing of hands covered in cuts and bandages with plants growing from the wounds, it reminded me a lot of how I use blood magick. Lovely video Ivy

I have health issues that make my blood 🩸 clot super fast (nightmare getting blood tests even with children’s needles) so it’s very difficult & painful to get a decent amount of blood with a lancet. Before becoming a Crone menstrual blood was much easier for me to gather.
Now, in most instances, instead of blood I swab my inner cheek to transfer my dna 🧬 for taglocks & I will also use spit in the ways I used to use blood. I do still use blood in a few situations where I do feel it is essential for me to do so.
Great video Ivy 🖤
So sorry to hear about your health issues. That definitely makes things a lot harder! I have the opposite problem in that I don't menstruate at all due to my health issues so a finger prick is the only option 😂 We make do with what we have and that's okay! Spit is an excellent taglock!
So I have super sensitive gums and sometimes when I brush my teeth my gums bleed, so if I'm doing a spell or ritual and I want to incorporate my own blood into it I've been known to take a tissue and dab the blood from around my teeth and use the tissue in whatever work I'm doing. Has been 10/10 useful tbh.
I haven't tried blood magick yet but I find this topic so fascinating! Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks so much for this video! I wish more people in the witchy community had an open mind about this, so videos like this help A LOT!!
That intro though. *Chef's kiss*
🖤🧛♀️
Just sending some love and appreciation because I see how iffy you were about putting this out to the public. Your channel has been so helpful to me for providing inspiration as I revisit my practice after taking a pregnancy/post partum hiatus. Thank you for putting the energy into making this! Sending you lots of positive vibes ❤
Thank you so much for this! ❤️🙏
Just started this, but I must say, please just do what you think is best for you❤.
Thank you! ❤️
This is such a powerful and important video! Thank you for creating this Ivy, bl00d magick is so so misunderstood and this video gave a TON of valuable information about what it actually is!
I know that the stigma makes this difficult to share, but just want to let you know I really appreciate you making content on this topic and would love more in the future
This was the most comprehensive class on this subject that I've ever seen, you definitely did it justice. It's not part of my personal practice but it's still an important magical practice.
Thank you for posting public. More intermediate information is needed in this world of yt.
Oh wow, I didn't even realize that blood magick is intermediate. Makes sense, just weird to think that I've done intermediate magick by now.
sometimes intermediate things come naturally to some ;)@@Myke_thehuman
Love that lip color, Ivy.
I save my moon blood to feed my plants. I got a dying lime tree to come to life and fruit 😇
Shoot! Moon blood contains the building blocks of life
Me too! People ask if I use fertilizer and I'm like.... 🩸
I am diabetic, as well as a resident care aide, most of the lancing devices require you to put in a lancet (the little plastic item with a sharp end) before the device is ready. Yes, wash hands, but also use an alcohol wipe before and after. Washing your hands does not always sterilize the skin. You can get all of these supplies at most pharmacies in the diabetic care section. Also, you should have some sort of sharps container, for safety and health reasons. You can get them at a pharmacy as well as online. thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful and informative.
Informative and helpful! In my culture, my ancestors would use cloth that a woman had her period on as a way to keep out malevolent spirits. The reason was that period blood was seen as “dirty” so it scared them away but I think it’s because menstrual blood is so powerful since it represents the after effects of creation (birth) itself.
I've also put blood in my spells for home protection
Loved that you included a Resources section at the end. I wish more content creators would!
I had a tattoo artist when I was younger who was also a great conversationalist and held many similar beliefs to me and I was talking about the energy exchange happening during the tattooing process and he said, "Oh yeah, it's a very shamanic experience, there is bloodletting happening," and I just thought that was such a cool perspective, and I definitely carried it with me, especially when I began later tattooing my friends and myself.
Thank you so much for doing this video! It's so refreshing to hear someone speak openly about topics like this! Enough "spells for beginners" content, I'm so glad you keep pushing to teach more advance knowledge and techniques!
awesome video. i don't feel like anything was over the top or offending, but you never know with youtube! not sure if this is for me, but what an excellent introduction, you did so much research and great editing, thank you as always.
Thank you for your kind words! I don't think anything was too over the top or offending either but I would hate for this video to fall into the wrong hands. I will most likely post this publicly and see how it goes for a few days - then change it to "channel members only" if the general public can't handle it!
Thank you so much for covering this topic within the occult! Blood is my absolute #1 tool in magic - next to my own hair. Very potent! I love how you broke down each detail very thoroughly, it really sheds light on something that often seems to grim (which personally I love grim lol) I've always used a simple pin to extract my blood I used to use a knife but realized how unnecessary it was lol. I absolutely agree with the pain aspect, it is necessary and is a small price to pay. I've used blood magic on my talismans & sigils and they work beautifully! 🤘🍎🐍
Funny side note: because of my martial arts training, I often develop scabs on my knuckles from punching the makiwara (a conditioning tool) I usually just rip my scabs off and get the blood I need from that lol - yeah that $h!t hurts but it's worth it! 🤣
I appreciate you taking the time to explain Blood Magick, I’ve made a video on it also, it’s one of my favorite form of Magick. Within the Sanguinarian Vampyre community, they make sure the Crimson Swan get checked by a doctor to make sure they are healthy enough to get fed on. It’s definitely good to be responsible. Vampyre Sanguinomicon is one of my favorite books and Vampire Codex. I also recommend Vampyre Magick if you’ve hadn’t read it yet 😍
Do you have links to these books especially the Vampyre magic one
4:51 Okay that is AWESOME!!!
And it explains the anime Hellsing Ultimate vampire lore.
Now I really really want to know more about these blood shamans.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but it saddens me to read the comments and your worry the general public will be upset about these topics. As long as you aren't harming anyone, then why the taboo on blood in general when it comes to witchcraft? Using your own blood? Who cares? My practice personally however is more towards lucid dreaming, astral work, spirits, nature and such but I still accept and respect we all have different paths and what works for us.
Maybe I'm just way more open minded than most, I don't know 😂 I have been told that by people but seriously though.
You are an amazing RUclipsr in the witchy community. I absolutely love your energy, how well researched you are and jus well, I think you're awesome! You do whatever works best for you.
You are definitely way more open minded than most and I really appreciate it!! 🥰❤️❤️ Thank you so much. 🙏
YASSS Queen! Ty Mama Ivy, so grateful for all of your content. I love the way you tackle a topic, so elegant, yet simplistic, so knowledgeable, Im so glad I found you girl! You rock, keep it up ❤
Love this video! I think people should be aware of how pricking their fingers in a graveyard is dangerous not only spiritually but as a biological hazard. I know of a pregnant woman who had a little hole in their finger, she went and cleaned her grandpa grave. 2-3 days later she had a sepsis (sorry if wrong, I’m not a native speaker ) and they both died. There’s literally little pieces of dead people and microorganisms there. Beyond that, i think 🩸is a important spiritual energy, it’s very used in the consecration of magick knifes and blades.
Excellent video and book recommendations. I have used my blood for specific tools. Sometimes when I'm making them it will happen anyway and I just go with it, even in my garden. Thank you!
Well Done! Nice balance of cautions and explanations of ancient and modern practices that some might consider taboo. ❤❤
I am so glad you think so. Thank you! 🙏🫶
Awesome video! Due to my background before witchcraft this always seemed an off limits practice to me, even kind of scary. I wasn't going to watch this as I have no desire to incorporate this into my practice, but knowledge always gets ride of fear and prejudice. I'm so glad I did!! This was really informative, and not taboo at all. Knowledge is Power, thanks for posting! Peace/Love
I use blood for taglocks, like for example linking a rune set I am making to me or a charm. I can not use needles though as I have extreme needle phobia so I either prick my finger with the tip of a scalpel, not something I recommend as it is allot less safe, or I just have my runes ready as when I accidentally nick a finger in the kitchen or something I mix blood with paint and then finish my runes.
One comment I do want to make is that bloodwork for ancestors is definitely dependent on your ancestral tradition - for example using it for Jewish or Abrahamic ancestors would not go over well (in my experience).
From my spiritual framework (Solomonic magic), I am personally heavily against blood in any spirit work or pact creation because of how powerful it is. You can have pacts that are powerful and personal without it (and my hot take it that doing so means you are being lazy and unwilling to put forth the effort of creating and maintaining a two-way spirit relationship).
Kudos to you, Ivy, for discussing a controversial topic!
Yes to all of this! Ancestral practices and spirit work can vary so deeply from tradition to tradition. Also, I always love your hot takes! 😂❤️
You always do such a great job of covering topics. Love it!
thank you so much for using ur platform to break the myths. i also appreciate ur concerns about if you were gonna post here, so i want to say i am honored to have the opportunity to watch this :)
I just LOVE how you have the guts to talk about taboo topics on your channel, I applaud you 👏👏👏 I have not used blood in my practice yet mostly do to me not liking pain. I would prefer to use sea men since it's very close to blood, in my opinion. I agree with the menstrual blood not really being a sacrifice since it happens very often. I would say someone who is having brain fog or something like that should not do blood magick. I have been changing my Dad's dialysis wounds A LOT lately and almost everytime I think "I could use this in spells" 😂🤣😂🤣I haven't though.
This is so interesting, because I view menstral blood as almost like a "first born child" type of offering. It has the potency of creation in it and I've used it very effectively for manifestation in the sphere of creation. I think it just depends on your own relationship with your cycle and perspective on the blood itself.
HolyC- I'm loving this video. More like this plzzzzz
This video was incredibly helpful and informative! As a beginner, I don't plan to do any blood magick myself for a while, but it's something that has always intrigued and called out to me. I've always wanted to look into it but have always been nervous of ending up in the wrong spaces. This video was a perfect place to start and it puts me at ease to have the knowledge I need to start once I find myself ready. I hope this video may stay public so it can help others like me, but the internet is a dangerous place and safety is always a priority. I feel truly blessed to have been able to watch this, and I sincerely hope only those who are understanding and respectful find it.
Great video 🩸♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video, and all your content on your channel. Learnt a lot and gained clarity, and I would definitely read any book that you write❤ since you have a great sense of open mindedness and respect for all sorts of practices, which I believe is what makes the world a more liveable place to live. Restores balance in the world when people like you are doing so much in the occult community, are respectful, true to their power and open minded. Thank you for being you!
Plus I love your background in science, and how you mentioned in one of your videos that you are deeply invested in bringing science and spirituality together. You are already doing it!
Thanks for this thoughtful introduction to the subject. Regarding a book, perhaps THE book to offer a deep dive into blood magic, i would definitely read yours if you wrote it. :)
Great intro Ivy, well covered on whether you'll publish this video or keep it for members only.
This is awesome! Thank you for putting this together. I've been studying blood magick and even bought the diabetic lance to use.
It's a hard question, it's possible your video on Blood Magick may have a lot of thumbs down by the general public who happen onto this video;
but at the same time....
I'm subscribed and channel member to a couple of content creators and they have some videos only for members, I guess they deal with upset non-channel members behind the scenes. I know of a content creator I'm subbed too but not a member and there was a whole issue about her monetizing a video and she responded by making another video to defend herself...not a good idea as it created even more drama.
Thank you so much for your thoughts. This is something I fear as well... If I post it for channel members only, I know there will be some subscribers upset by that. Part of me doesn't want to deal with that backlash but then the other part of me doesn't want to deal with the general public. I might post this publicly, see how it goes, and change it to channel members only later on if people can't handle it. 😂
@@IvyTheOccultist You know, that is such a great idea! To post the video to the public and see what happens, it's the middle ground as you can make it for members again if need be.
Thank you for talking about this, I think you did an amazing job describing the importance of this in someone’s spiritual practice so thank you, blood and pain is always looked down upon as a bad thing. But just like everything in life and especially in our chaos, it is what we make it. 🌻🖤
I love this channel. Beginner information is phenomenal, but once you’ve practiced for a number of years, especially in the midwestern area I live in, it can be very difficult to access these more advanced topics. Thank you for deciding to share with the public, this is fascinating!
This video was done with the utmost respect-it was so appreciated Ivy! THANK YOU for this! 💘
Really good video (: thank you for this. Ive been wanting to do blood magick for a long time. However I believe there is a lot more sacred powerful symbolism to using menstrual blood magick. There is so much beautiful symbolism that is also potent and magical with menstral blood. Because menstral blood is the product of what the female body does to prepare the womb space for the creation of all life. That is sacred. Not to mention our menstrual blood connects us to our sacred divinity femininity, our sensuality, sexuality, our passions, our creativity, our fertility. It also connects us to Mother Earth as each phase of the menstral cycle is energetically the same as a season. And allows you to connect to mother moon and the 4 major moon phases . It connects you to spirit, it connects you to the wild woman within. Their is so much sacredness and beautiful symbolism to the menstrual cycle, and can absolutely be used for empowerment, confidence, self love, connects to the dark feminine, connect to your inner wisdom from the womb connects you to your maternal bloodline , connecting to mother earth, and mother moon . The fact that we can bleed so profusely and not collapse in death is sacred itself. And there is absolutely warrior energy to menstrual blood. When I shed this from my body, my body produces extreme back pains and cramps, and the patricharcal society and made it so that we have to tough our way through those pains and work/go to school as if we weren't dying inside. Women who expierence serious menstraul symptoms are absolute warriors because they have to be moms, be waitress, work always, nurses, doctors, as if they aren't going through serious things with their body. That is warrior queen energy. An alchemy of both the feminine and masculine. It is a symbol of strength. Even if its not fresh, It's primitive, it is raw, sacred. Menstraul blood is powerful, it was said that some prevous cultures would isolate women while they were menstrating so that they could connect with the divine. Just wanted to give another perspective (: ❤ love your videos !!
Thank you for talking about topics like this!! I appreciate you so much
🖤🙏🫶
Okay I'm at 8:36 in video. I wonder what could happen if you summon a spirit into blood.
Like have them possess their blood offering and use that as their physical body for a while.
And then maybe you drink the possessed blood.
Great video Ivy! Very informative and you guided everyone to find their own beliefs in how they would want to use blood. You only spoke about your personal truths and your suggestions. Thanks for the book recommendations also!! ❤
Period blood is great in money magic. Seriously!!
Thank you so much for this video. ❤ I love how you approached the subject. ❤ On another note, i read that in some ancient traditions menstrual blood was poured over fields for purposes of fertility and abundant crops, usually duing full moon. Out of curiosity, would you say, in your opinion, menstrual blood could be used in fertility rituals or would you rather see it as a discharge and prefer to use blood you draw from your finger?
Oh fertility rituals are perfectly appropriate for menstrual blood in my opinion! 😍 I hope I conveyed that in the video but I don't think I did. 😂 Yes, divine feminine and fertility! ❤️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist thank you. ❤️
My gurrrlll! 🤗 **sigh** Love ya for making this, love ya for sharing this, and just love ya and appreciate the heck out of ya, gosh darn it!!!
For super reals tho…I really respect and love that you don’t shy away from topics that might make the majority ‘uncomfortable’ or aren’t spoken of often. PLUS, just because majority doesn’t ‘talk’ about a certain subject, that DOES NOT mean no one’s doing it!! Sharing your thoughts, tips, perspectives, and safety advice surrounding something as potent & magical as Blood Magick is immensely important work (I think at least 😂🤷♀️)! Thanks for being ‘you’ ♥️ always, all ways
I love how informative and intriguing your videos are. Thank you for doing this subject justice and also using the caution you did. I hope everyone can be mature in the comment section and use the same amount of caution when using this practice. I really loved your input about what kinds of blood to use in different circumstances as some of those haven't occurred to me, even after having read up on the subject and using it here and there. And just in case it isn't said enough, I appreciate you!
In hellenic context blood magick for the act of devotion isn't really a thing, it is seen as miasmic (spiritual pollution) as was in the sense of religiosity seen as a bad thing to go by a shrine. Romans were wishy-washy surrounding blood sacrifice (see the seminar about lady bellona in this year's touta galation comreton). But in many other pagan cultures blood was used more (still not as usual as Hollywood seems to make it)
Thank you for all of this! I'm so happy you shined a light on such a sacred act and sacrifice. You are amazing as always!❤
You mentioned that you had experience in at least researching Solomonic magick before. I would love a video introducing the basic principles or possibly what the system is about? I am fascinated by ceremony magick, but it is extremely difficult to find objective perspectives when researching this system.
Omg! I have always wanted to learn more about blood magic.
Very informative and comprehensive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for releasing this on your regular channel. I hope the reception has been positive.
This was really interesting, even though I don't plan to actually do any of it myself. Thanks, Ivy!
Hi ivy , I hope you're keeping well,I've not commented on any of your videos before but felt the need to on this one, this video is amazing and so much information,thank you, sending you many blessings of good health,joy and happiness to you ❤ and I forgot to say I totally agree with you about animals , I've never and never would hurt or sacrifice an inconnce animal as animals are sacred 💯 and I'm a massive animal lover, no need for animal blood in any rituals 😢 once again sending you many good blessings ❤
Great video and your opinions and cautions very much respected. Thank you again Ivy❤
❤️🙏🫶
One of the rituals I perform The Red Mass, which is an eucharistic ritual to Babalon similar to the Mass of The Phoenix, requires blood placed in the wine prior to consumption. I use a lancet to extract the blood and generally use three drops.
Thank you for sharing this information publicly. I'm taking notes just in case you have to pull it back behind a paywall, which I understand if you do. Again thank you.
You are such a generous content creator, thank you so much for this extremely helpfull video!!
Thought. You mentioned blood as a tag lock. I wonder if this is also why some places hold the spirit /ghost/ essence of someone's if they were unalived in a way there was blood?
i use my menstrual blood to dress my candle for my protection spells...Love the video
Thank you, Ivy. This is a welcome and very well-presented video on this topic.
I consider this topic way too advanced for me as a baby witch who is more inclined to herbs, crystals and the light easy stuff lol. But I really appreciate the way you approach everything in a very neutral and respectful manner. Thank you for that. Paganism and occultism is no place for taboos imo.
Definitely don't do anything that you're uncomfortable with. But for reference I started doing magick in 2019 and I've already done some blood magick.
The main thing I've done was the black book ritual in weaving fate. It's not in any way negative, just a really fucking powerful hypersigil. (So I guess it could be negative if you desire to use it that way) but yeah. I'd say be careful but also don't hold yourself back unless you really need to.
@@Myke_thehuman Thanks for the insight! I'm still not comfortable with certain types of magick but I'm sure it's just the lack of experience and deeper knowledge :)
Interesting Interesting.... ❤ love the this topic! Thank you for sharing sister. Hail!
Thanks you for this video. I hate how taboo the "darker side" of magick is. Like this contwnt should be made redily available for all
Ivy, what do you think of an individual adding drops of their own🩸to war water (made as a form of holy water w/iron powder or slack/slag water from our local blacksmiths if I can get it!) This is something I would use only for banishing and or warding, with a focus on Spiritual Dominion and blocking nasty paranormal entities. Could it be used in a witch bottle for the same reason? Thank you for insight!
Not my thing… But always appreciate your educational videos. Thank you!
Amazing video! I'm going to share this in all my witchy/occult groups!
Thank you so much! 🖤
Hi
Thank you for your amazing videos. They help me out so much. Maybe I'll use blood later in my practice aswell, who knows. Ofcourse as I am not that far in my practice and do struggle with sh, it is not a good idea at all to use it now, but I do find it interesting. So thank you again for your videos.
I hope you have an awesome day :)
One (off topic) question:
What is that song on the end, the instrumental one?
I love that sm, I need that in my playlist haha.
Thank you, thank you Ivy awesome episode!!!!!! Much love, honor and blessings to you. ❤
🖤🙏
Thank you for sharing this very controversial topic! I have not yet done this type of magic or ritual yet but have always been interested! Part of the reason is because I get queezy seeing my own blood 🤣 lol I can’t even watch when blood gets drawn at the drs lol. But maybe it would be different if I was doing it 🤔 but haven’t dared to try yet 😂. Thank you Ivy! Your so awesome
If I want to get ambition to finish my projects...should I use my blood on a candle or ? Thanks
Oh my goodness. I can’t believe you posted this masterpiece. Thank you, Ivy. I have a question regarding safety of the consumption of blood. Would it be safe to bake something when the whole batch has one or two drops of blood? Not sure how blood bacteria works, as it is further in the body and might be more resistant to heat, but I know that normally, you can kill bacteria by boiling/cooking, so I’m curious if I decided to let’s say, make a batch of cookies with one or two drops of my blood as an offering to Hades, would it also be safe for me to consume?
Would scab blood work fine or would the pain be null, so it’s not as strong? As someone who has a habit of picking my scabs, I’m curious if it would work?
Thank you thank you thank you, super informative and helpful!
Well done. I am so impressed, I had to subscribe. Thank you. 🖤
I absolutely love this video I use my blood very often and my practice I have a small vial of my blood I keep in the refrigerator and I did not have to harm myself to get this if you know what I mean there's other ways I will keep that personal and how thank you for sharing i love this
I had a terrible experience with my partner after showing them this video and the one about energy vampyrism with one of your lovely guests. They tried taking my energy during a love making session without permission after coming home from college. They succeeded it felt nice at first but this was a major lesson that Something my feel good but your body can still register it as trauma And trauma isn't soul or spirit connecting at all after what transpired next. After my research into spirituality/the craft/ everything magical, I know that I am not a super sensitive soul that is the only person who could have experienced something so perspective shattering and painful. A lot of things we do as humans aren't necessarily progressive but on this kind of plateau. It may work for you and your path, There is multiple paths to get where we are all going. I just wanted to share this so that whenever I stubble upon your videos I don't have the worst attachment to them and in case anyone out there wen't through a similar dark night of the soul situation. Your a great creator and I don't want to send any bad vibes to you. You seem always ready to learn and pleasant.
Love it!! But I disagree about menstrual blood. I think it's great for manifesting bc it's loaded with stem cells, +nutrients, designed to grow a human, so it has super creative potential
Question - Do you have to use fresh blood every time, or could you just smear a large amount of blood on a notecard, let it dry, and then cut it into small squares to use whenever you want to do a ceremony?
Usually if a get a random injury or nosebleed I'll keep the blood on a notecard. I'm just wondering if the blood loses its magic if the same batch was already used for a previous magic working, and I need to use a fresh batch of blood every time.
Regarding using menstrual blood, I have worked with it to deep and meaningful results, and find it to be incredibly valuable in certain types of rituals and practices. In my experience and due to what the particular tissues released from our body are meant for as they were created, it holds powerful energies of fertility, hope, nurturing and support, connecting and bonding, welcoming and bringing in the new, creation and the liminal, and of course Divine Feminine essence. I personally don´t associate period blood with discarding (even if it´s eventually discarded) but rather with the energy for which it was created. Otherwise, we would not be using many things in magical practice such as discarded animal remains such as antlers, feathers or discarded plant matter like branches etc. However, I do agree that period blood is not appropriate as a blood sacrifice. In many traditions, it has been used and revered as a woman´s sacred bond to the womb of the Earth (as that is where our period blood ultimately ends up anyway), a way that our female ancestors energetically and symbolically connected to the land and Earth in a way that men could not.
Hi Ivy love your teachings about blood, pls im new in occult and i need your assistance pls.
Thank you so much for this video
This videos is so so good thanks for sharing this with us clearly this subject us dear to your heart ♥ I would understand if you want this video private kept doing what you do 😊😊
I have used sterile medical lancets, like the ones you use for pricking your finger to check glucose levels if you are diabetic
I did a blood magic spell with my Ex Boyfriend but we only used a little blood and it was just a needle pick on are finger and we both are hands together and that was all we did!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I should point out that when I did this I was new to the craft but my Ex had been doing witchcraft since he was 19 and he was in his 40's and I believe what he was saying to me and I would never just give my blood or take someone's blood unless that where my lover and we had already been together for a while
Yes blood magic is wonderful but definitely not for beginners, i agree. SO powerful. I've used it for activating my BOS and dedicating myself to the Devil and Lilith.
Have you read "Energy Magick of the Vampire by Don Webb."?
