I don’t know how much blood magic you’ve done, and I don’t pretend even have a clue what your level of expertise is. And I will tell you, with blood magic, less truly is more. You don’t have to bleed pints in order to get a desired outcome unless you signed an agreement to give over that much blood to whatever deity you’re trying to work with. You don’t have to slash your wrists open, a simple drop of blood from the tip of your finger is more than sufficient for most deals.
I don’t have much in the way of offers of temptation… I can put a carrot on a stick but that’s about it on my end lol. Curious about palmreading though, feel free to send any relevant info my way if you feel like it
Rubbing alcohol to sterilize, I was a cutter for a long time, I consider myself an expert at ritual self destruction. Use new, unopened lancets, they work wonders and they are available everywhere on the cheap.
Why don’t you just cut yourself with a knife? That’s way more easy and that’s how I do when I want to offer some blood to entities. And for me it’s painless almost.
If I don’t have any I’ll use a simple needle after I sterilize it. If non…then scissor, knife, you can cut yourself even with a rock or glass (I don’t recommend those last two )
I have some traumas from the past about cutting with a knife Strangely enough I like the needles more lol.
It just stings a bit, but knifes / razor blades give me a horrible feeling. And I don’t think that’s good when casting spells? I mean you’re putting emotions / thoughts in it.
Unless you are offering the sacrifice of your pain to the spirit, drawing blood painlessly is a perfectly legitimate method without causing damage to yourself.
Knife needs some skill and isn’t exactly the safest option in altered states of consciousness. With lancet you get fairly small amount of blood (usually enough) but there’s no danger of accidentally bleeding yourself dry if you make a stupid mistake.
I know your comment was addressed to someone else, but you should consider smudging yourself with sage before you begin your ritual. That way, no negative entities are attached to you whenever you begin your ritual, and they won’t be able to corrupt it whenever you start.
