Beginners Blood Magick Do’s & Don’ts

Beginner spell casters and blood magick do not go well together.

Why? Think of it like this. Unless you know what your doing and why you are doing it, you will not get a great result or you could harm yourself or someone else. Yes…really.

Generally speaking…..

Blood magic is the use of a few drops of blood during a spell or ritual—usually your own blood, but if you are casting for someone else you could use theirs (with caution and permission, of course). Those few drops can add power to a magical working in any number of ways.

Using Blood in Magic There are countless ways to use blood. But here are a few ideas to get you started.

In candle magic, mix blood drops with oil to dress and charge your candle.

Use a small drop or two to anoint and charge any talisman or amulet.

In jar or container magic, add a few drops of blood to the container.

In petition magic, smear some blood on the paper the petition is written on.

Place a drop of blood in a mojo bag before tying it up.

Practicing Safe Blood Magic First, there are a few don’ts to keep in mind for beginners 🙂

Don’t ever take more than a few drops Don’t ever take blood from an unwilling participant (this includes animals because they cannot give consent) Do not smear your blood on people, let people smear blood on you, or try to exchange blood in any way; remember that many diseases can be transferred through blood Do not ever consume blood, either directly or by putting it into a drink; aside from the fact that you can catch diseases, blood itself is toxic to human beings. More than a couple of teaspoons can cause haemochromatosis and potentially do some serious organ damage. Don’t let others drink your blood, either directly raw or by putting it into food or drinks; this is essentially giving your power over to that person, and not in a good way.

The correct way to perform blood magic safely would be: Sanitize the area of skin with an alcohol pad or sanitizing gel. Sanitize a small poking implement, such as a pin. Poke only enough to break the skin. Squeeze out your few drops to collect for your use Clean the wound immediately and put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it’s still bleeding, put a bandage on it. Handle and dispose of anything that has been touched with blood with extreme caution until the end of your ritual or spell. Disinfect surfaces (of your skin and your work space), implements and any other tools after performing blood magic. Keep the wound clean as it heals.

Menstrual blood If you are a woman and you prefer, you can use your menstrual blood rather than pricking yourself. You can catch menstrual blood easily with a diva cup if you need to temporarily preserve it for ritual—just don’t hang onto it very long, and all the same sanitary practices regarding care and clean-up also applies.

When (and When Not) to Use Blood Magic for beginners

I can’t tell you exactly when and where blood magic is your best option.

use it for protection— not minor protection, but major protection, when there is a potential for serious life-changing threats (accident, crime, etc.)

use it for health and wellness—not minor issues like sore throats or skinned knees, but big health issues like disease, injuries, surgery or breaking unhealthy addictions.

use it for desperate needs—not minor things like saving money for a Disney trip, but big things like if you were on the verge of being homeless or starving so use it to draw what you need to survive.
