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?´´.
I know. Pretty much everyone in the thread was like, "you do know a few drops are all that’s needed, right? ![]()
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.
Nice, dark rings of saturn been calling you?
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.
I understand, quite a while ago I entered into saturnian necromancy and ever since then it has been addictive as hell. By now it most likely has its hooks on me and I can´t walk away from it without feeling the longing to work with the current. Surprisingly, Azazel is quite connected to this current.
I’ve experienced the same thing…
Would you mind please telling me how you did it exactly ?
What did you do with the blood ?
And anything else that is necessary ?
Interesting. Others have also stated that Azazel is connected to Saturn, but I didn’t get that feeling from him when I previously evoked him. His energy didn’t sit nearly as heavy upon me as that of the Olympic Spirit of Saturn.
I have never heard of him as connected to necromancy so that is quite intriguing.
Well, Azazel is connected to saturn and necromancy but to Azazel doesn´t work with necromancers most of the time and Azazel has a softer saturnian presense than rest of the saturnian entities. Just don´t mistake me for saying that Azazel is weak, far from it as you may well know. Azazels saturnian presense just isn´t so preasuring so to speak. And besides, what I understand Azazel stating is that he doesn´t work with necromancers unless they call to him.
Besides, Azazel shares the same sigil as the saturn does.
That’s cool. I have a soft spot for the guy 
Yeah, I’ve noticed the sigil thing lol
Yeah, the moment when you notice such a coincidense from book tittled``practical sigil magick´´. It was ironic because in there I thought that they might have made a mistake to asign the planetary symbol for saturn. It was funny.
Though, I want to hear your opinion on something: It seems that the influences of saturn has grown exponentially, I can feel its pull really powerfully. Any thoughts?
I can’t say I’ve felt anything, but then I have some pretty potent shielding thrown up by my Higher Self that blocks almost all energies from affecting me so I probably wouldn’t unless it was specifically directed at me. I barely felt an astral war going on around me so the influence would have to be huge to get through.
If you are working Saturnian necromancy then it would make sense that you would feel any increase in its influence, and you probably even feel it more than others considering how connected you are to the current.
As far as I know, that could be true. After all, once you step into necromancy the dead don´t walk among us, you walk among them. That is more true than anybody could argue. When stepping into necromancy, the dead become really close to you even exeeding the level of familiarity. Necromancers walk among the dead after all.
