And my friend, why wouldn’t you want to use pain at any single moment? It open many doors and possibilities, as well as being a great trance method.
No single method for obtaining blood is safe. Cuts are also highly infective and if you go deep enough, you damage the tissues.
The problem with needles rely on the fact that very few people are trained to diminish the biggest nastiest risks.
Understood, this is a great point, but people can certainly educate themselves regarding this practice so as to more efficiently let blood.
I agree completely, since you’ve read a lot of my posts, you’ll know I frequently mention this. However, the OP was talking about drawing blood from your arm, this suggests to me aversion to pain. We should keep our suggestions in alignment with what was requested.
My bad then, thought I saw you around some similar topics recently. I was arguing for the use of cutting or pain in ritual, since it’s used as sacrifice and a method of proving one’s resolve, thus empowering the ritual. Your Dutch friend had a problem with that and resorted to calling me names. (Assuming she’s your friend since she liked your post). I referenced the work of Raven Kaldera as a mainstream indication that I wasn’t speaking from my ass.
Here’s an interesting question, does the pain have to coincide with the method of blooding? I mean, does the pain have to be experienced from a cut for example? Or, could you use syringes to with draw blood, before or after inflicting pain on oneself in another way?
I actually keep some tarantulas, and have been bitten by a Costa Rican Tiger rump a few times, and the pain was excruciating, felt like pepper spray all over my body, for a couple of days. This could be a safer method.
Are you indirectly implying your capacity for logic is of the common variety?
Edit: What I mean to ask is, are you indirectly implying that people like posts for the same reason you do? That others are as open-minded as you? I dare say not.
Now let’s get back to useful information that actually helps others on the board:
For everybody else, do magick but be safe.
If you don’t know how to do bloodwork, HIRE A PHLEBOTOMIST.
There are many places you can find them. Temporary nursing agencies, medical schools, even hospitals. Ask for someone who can draw blood for you. If bad comes to worse, go to a blood donation clinic and ask them to draw an extra vial for you to keep ‘for religious purposes’ or ‘because you want to make jewellery out of it.’ You don’t have to be the one to draw your blood - you can hire a(n aspiring) professional to do it for you.
