I am in serious need of advice. Is bloodletting allowed in the Wiccan faith? Or is it frowned upon? Also if anyone has any bloodletting rituals, please share them. :) thank you!
Well, the Wiccan rede states in the end: "An ye harm none, do as thou will". I hope I said it right. We are free to interpret the rede as we can understand it, but in this situation, wouldn't you be hurting yourself? Of course, from a non-wiccan perspective, I guess it's okay, if your smart in it. Blood is a potent substance in magic, but you can substitute blood with apple cidar (from what I know). However, it is up to you, this is my opinion.
Well honestly in the old ways yes, but now it's a belief that is a leading to no. It's up to you, but it's true. The rede specifically states that you can't harm anything, including yourself.
Bloodshed is not valued, nor is it needed. A special offering like an apple or leaf is pleasure for the gods. Remember are gods have the whole world as a offering, they don't need blood.
However it's your choice, but ask yourself if it's necessary, and ask yourself why you want to do this. Also if your not wicca it's okay but it still is classified as harming.
There is only a couple times when this is allowed. Some do this when they initate into the craft to show that it is an oath. But no, most of the time it's frowned upon unless you like do ''black magic'' which is just a color. Your choice, your life, you want. This is my view and opinion bro!
Now, I am not a big fan of blood magic, but as said blood is potent in magic, now if you are a minor (under the age of 18+) then you could get into trouble with parentals or be sent into a suicide clinic. In blood magic, you must be careful this is because we have a lot of main blood vessels and if we puncture one, we die.
