You should never try to put someone elses blood in your body like that. If the blood types arent compatible or someone has a disease you could get a disease and your body will reject the blood. It is also insanitary and even if your blood is clean and the same blood type something else could get you a disease like the knife your using or some dirt. The only time someone elses blood should enter your system is if a doctor needs to give you a transfusion. If you need to do a knife for some reason like not having a needle, always cut the fingertips cause they heal fast and make sure the knife is stable. You dont even need the blood in your system, you can just put it in a bowl and it will work fine. Hope I helped a bit.
Hah, I did this when I was a wee lad. Of course people will be idiots about it. When I was more of an idiot, I did it with my cousin myself. People will abuse everything. It is in human nature to use things until they are not needed, then when they are not needed, they are thrown away. The extents of this vary between people.
Yeah we've all heard of that but in this day and age, it's just not safe. Maybe for a long term monogamous couple. Maybe. There are several diseases out there with few or no symptoms, maybe safe sex can prevent them from spreading, but doing something like this is just asking for a disease. So to anyone considering using this ritual, I'd say get tested every three months for a (at least) year, while being monogamous or celibate. That will also give you time to consider the nature of the relationship, and what the ritual means to you, your true reasons for wanting to do it.
That said, it could be great for a couple, it reminds me of marriage or handfasting. All are commitments not to be taken lightly and should be considered permanent.
I see the part about a married couple who practice magik together but me and my fiance are not married and he doesn't practice magik and he is willing to preform the blood bond with me. I have a concern and that is since he doesn't practice magik is there a higher risk of something going amiss. We want to be connected eternally and a blood bond is the best way to do that that I have found
Oh god I remember doing this with my friend once in Virginia, as she suggested it, and I thought nothing of it.
Except we didn't really touch the blood together, just made a small scratch as we both knew how actual cutting (deep) can cause infections such as how teens in Texas died from theirs, but we kinda did a high five sort of thing.
I don't really talk to her and haven't really since 2011 or so, except for some sparce kik messages and facebook, and since I moved a lot, and she wasn't so well expressing herself with text that I was, the communication was lost and we're two different people now from then anyway.
I would never count on rituals to solidify or be used as a crutch at all for any reason, the real magick within relationships is the connection itself and how much you're willing to keep that alive and well and healthy on both ends. All of the above, so to speak, is for fun and focusing time to the people themselves, and aids a little, but like anything like this, I hope no one comes to this thread and then thinks "my friendship will last longer no matter what due to this ritual"--it may or it may not, but you have to think of what's real, too. Slim chances of anything happening if you try to lure strangers via ritual to come in contact with you, so I hope people coming here don't think any ritual of this type is necessary or anything for their friendship, etc.
Also, fun tip: It's shown that if you know a person for around and more than about 8 years, it's likely you will know the person and keep contact with them for the rest of your life.
So don't ever think that magick or anything will act as a fast miracle or anything, you will really need to work at things to truly get anywhere substantial. Magick is complementary to what you're already doing and can help your frame of mind, etc.
Forgive me for being a bit synical here but i do not belive in this pointless ritual as a lot of young people will try this and end up with diseases. There may be other ways of msking a freindship last. Like being there for them. Caring for them. But doing this ritual is pointless as i said before. I strongly advise that you dont mix each others blood because you dont know what diseases the other person has.
But white raven, i dont meen to be rude here but in the movies they are in a controlled enviroment where they are supervised. But if people try this at home they are not in a controled enviroment. Do you realise what implacations this could have if someone did try this at home and ended up doing it wrong. The person could have a condition where if they cut them selves they could bleed to death. And guess who it is going to fall back on. Petraca. He will be the one who gets the blame. And its bye bye spells of magic if that happens
There is a real Tradition where two peoples blood is put into a bowl and mixed around during the wedding cerimony. I forget where the tradition came from. I was reading about it the other because the subject came up in a peice of poetry that was assigned in class.
That's interesting, the blood in the bowl bit that is, and is probably a lot safer if they are careful in which what object touches what and so on. I wish the real tradition wasn't lost, but it's probably out there somewhere in a book we don't know about yet.
