Blood Magick is about as dangerous as lighting a candle. As with everything, as long as you don't seriously maim yourself in the process, and make sure to take care of it properly (disinfecting and dressing the wound), you'll be fine. Otherwise blood magick is not dangerous in the slightest.
Blood is a very special thing. It is known as "the conduit of life" and is regarded very highly in magick, as it's something that comes from you (or another being), and provides you with life. Adding a drop of blood to your working will overall make it more potent, but in terms of a truth spell I'd say that using a drop of blood from the target of the spell would be more effective. (Although that might not be easily attainable).
Lol, myname, you cant use your peiod blood through magic! First of all its dirty, Second it is not suitable to use it, Lastly, It is too disgusting discussing it in forums!
Actually Terranium,
Period blood is frequently used in blood magick, as it's a very attainable source of blood. (It does come every month) Although some beliefs may view period blood as "dirty," it is blood nonetheless and is directly correlated with the cycle of life, making it very desirable for use in blood magick. It is also naturally occurring, and safer to obtain than making a new incision in the skin.
A woman's period is not disgusting, it is simply a part of normal life. This forum is for those 13 and older, and the members that visit this site should be mature enough to be able to discuss these topics. Pagans are known for "pushing the boundaries" a little when it comes to societies taboo's. (Ex. Doing religious rites in the nude, and performing public sexual acts) If these kinds of topics offend you, either don't look at it, or don't visit the site to begin with, as these topics will surely come up every now and then.
Thank you Sinix. I've read your post with interest and yes, I have also read that the monthly blood is also quite powerful. I will know by tomorrow if my spell worked. Next time, however, I will be more careful.
@Sinix, sorry I was just sensitive at the topic. I know you can use it, but fpr us, boys, I guess its pretty not suitable using period blood of girls. It was just my opinion.
