So you though of the usage of blood in this case as offering? Because there is a difference between offering of blood and utilising the power of blood to summon entitties. Care to elaborate?

I am curious about using blood as both evocation and offering.

If you must really know, when you call upon an entity in a evocation using your own blood, you are not just using your blood in the form some sort of fingerprint but you are also sending a message to call upon any entity through the most invidualistic way possible. After all, my energetic fingerprint of my blood is as unique as is yours. My opinion of it is that it´s generally an underrated method to call upon entitties.

Yes, it is. It solidifies the presence of the being that your summoning and makes His/Her presence to be more “solidified”. On the other hand, almost the same thing can be achieved without using your own blood or the blood of someone or of an animal…

Nice, I personally started to use blood right from the beginning of my pathworking as a magician(I was working with Lilith at the time). Ever since then I have devoted myself to blood magick altogether. And yeah, I agree that there is a taboo what comes to blood magick. It´s as if everybody tries to avoid it. I even work with my own blood when it comes to necromantic workings of any kind.

And I guess after that I was heavily drawn to necromancy which manifested as me drawing attention of all of the rulers of saturn.
I completely disagree with that. I just simply don’t see it as necessary, if I can easily get my result without it.

I find it more like most people, especially beginners, are all too eager to use blood, even when they don’t have a clue what they’re doing. They just assume they have to use blood. You’ve been here barely a month so you have no idea how many newbies have come to this forum assuming they have to soak a seal in blood just to evoke a demon. And they assume every spirit requires it, and then wonder why their spell backfires. It’s ridiculous, really. Too many Hollywood movies, I guess.
I agree blood is powerful when used properly, but it is hardly necessary for everything, and plenty of people do powerful magick without it.
So…you want people to take the time and energy to answer your questions that they have already answered numerous times in other threads just because you’re lazy? Okay… i’ll keep that in mind for when you open another thread, and i’m sure the other experienced members will too.
How would you know if you don’t bother to search?

Are there seriously that many newbies thinking you have to soak the seal in blood?That´s interesting indeed. They know the the method but not the info, that´s fascinating.

It´s also true that many powerfull practisioners don´t use blood and they manage. I suppose it´s personnal choise to use it. I have to say though, blood magick in general seems surprisingly more unique compared to magick that doesn´t utilise blood but I´m not sure if that´s just my perception because I can bet that people don´t perceive it the way I do it. It´s hard to put it to words exactly.

Although. don´t take my first comment as sarcasm because it wasn´t intended sarcasm.
Oh, yeah. Quite a lot. There was one guy who posted a pic of the seal of a Goddess he was trying to petition and it was soaked in blood to the point that it could have passed as coming from a crime scene. And the Goddess was not happy about it and was screwing with his life because he didn’t bother to research her mythology or even ask Her if it was acceptable before he did it. We had to advise him on how to make amends.
I don’t find it unique in the least, as it has a long tradition, especially in the Left Hand Path. Before the common era, it was believed that blood was always required for demonic evocation, which is where Hollywood got the idea. After all, a deal with the Devil has to be written in blood or it won’t work, according to Christianity, the story of Faust, and the surviving examples of pacts from medieval times that we still have.
Personally, I have only utilized blood once, and that was in the consecration of my Universal Circle. I’m not against blood magick at all; I’ve studied it and know how to use it. I simply choose to reserve its use for only what I consider the most serious of magics, like making pacts.

I agree in the usage of blood magick part, blood is an inportant ingredient rituals that have intended deep and longlasting consequence(and also in pacts). But the blood soaked picture of a goddess? what the hell happened to the rule of of ``don´t slit your wrists?´´.

Btw to answer your question- The only time I’ve been asked for blood was after a 7 day invocation of Vapula, I was supposed to do (I failed to do it but I’ll make it up to her)
So in short, in my humble dumb opinion- blood isn’t really needed unless asked for. Some spirits don’t even like it. You can use blood maybe in a powerful ritual but unless they ask for it- I wouldn’t assume they want it.
So, I haven´t asked this yet but what are the primary entitties you work with?
And what are the entitties you tend to use your own blood with mostly?
I work mainly with the spirits from EA’s grimoires, Kingdoms of Flame, and the Book of Azazel. I also work with spirits of the Goetia, some angels and the elemental Kings.
As stated above, I do not use blood at all. It Is strictly reserved for what I consider serious magick like making pacts and baneful works, neither of which I have done thus far.
However, I will be making a pact with Azazel soon and for that I will be using my blood.

Yeah, I’ve been toying with the idea of a pact for a while now, but couldn’t decide between Azazel and Belial. I kept swinging back and forth between them but finally the choice has been made. Now, I’m just trying to make sure I have a goal worthy enough because, as I said, I consider pacts serious magick and not something to enter into lightly.
