Period/Menstural blood work and ritual requires no sacrifice, as it can be taken freely and safely from your own body. If you think it’s dangerous, it is no more or less dangerous than a hammer, a fire or a pen wielded by a lover of words.
Menstrual blood has all the power of blood, and is deeply personal to you. What is more, it has taboo associated with it. Like rootwork and conjure through the ages, menstrual blood is shunned, shamed, hidden away. But, if you menstruate, it is YOUR power.
Blood magic is not, as some seem to believe, inherently its own discipline of magic, as is for instance necromancy, or kitchen witchcraft. Though, certainly one could construct an entire magical practice around the use of blood if one so desired, and I’m certain some people have.
Rather, I approach blood as a tool to be incorporated into spells.
The inclusion of blood in any Work greatly enhances its power. Blood remains always linked to the life from which it comes, and channels the Asè/power of that life force into the Working. It is a direct connection to a living thing. Blood magic is used when you need to infuse your very essence or a small part of your life energy into a spell, if using your blood, or the essence of a particular animal or their life energy. It is one of the most powerful ways you can charge give energy to a spell.
There are three primary ways in which blood may be used, based mostly on the source of the blood. We’re going to focus on our own blood, menstural blood in specific though anybody can do this with any blood from themselves.
Your own blood is obviously the easiest to acquire. Doing so forges a direct and profound connection to the force of your psychic energy. As one of the factors in the effectiveness of a spell is how much energy the caster commits or is able to consciously direct, these spells are far more powerful than others. These spells can be surprisingly draining to the caster. They tap into energy more deeply than most can do by other means, and invest whatever it takes to achieve the goal. I’ve never heard of blood spells taking enough energy to have a detrimental effect on health, but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Be prepared to feel exhausted. In fact it may be wise to treat it as one would giving blood. Have something sweet ready to go, at least until you know how you’re going to react to this kind of work.
There is no question in my mind that blood is the most powerful taglock one could possibly use.
It is extremely difficult to defend one’s self against a spell of this sort. The connection tends to bypass most shields and wards. On which note, if you have any reason to believe someone might want to cast a spell against you, take care not to give anyone access to your blood.
🔴Menstural cup: the most efficient and easiest way for obvious reason. Now just put it in a container of choice
🔴Tampon: you can use it like a teabag later
🔴Smear method: probably my least fave but you smear it on a plate or some flat surface let it dry and flake it off into a storage container. The pros is that it stores for a long time
🔴 Free bleed: whatever you wanna use just sit on it and let your flow do it’s thing. Best for things that require .fabric
STORAGE/PRESERVATION METHODS
♦️Vodka/Alcohol: My preferred method is vodka/clear alcohol and my preferred brand is Everclear. The higher the proof the better it keeps and can be stored room temp. Plus you have the added benefits spirits being to ritual
♦️Iso Alchohol: same premise as alchohol except it’s isopropyl. Best to use the strongest in this case also.
♦️Straight: if you want it undiluted you can refrigerate up to a week but it will coagulate. Keep a nail in it and swirl everyday to keep coagulation at bay
♦️Freeze: pretty self explanatory 🤗
♦️Water: Just ass water and refrigerate. Can keep about 2 weeks
♦️Dry/smear method: smear that thang on a plate let it try collect the flakes. This has the longest shelf life
Some ways I use my Period to amp my magic
🩸Grounding: I’m sure a lot of you ar where because you saw a post on how I stay grounded if not I do this by pouring my mensural blood upon the earth with my bare feet to the ground. You can pour it in front of you or over your feet. I do both. You can also keep a grounding stone between your feet.
🩸Ink for petitions : Instead of writing with a regular pen I create blood ink with the following recipie (sorry I don’t measure)
-Highest proof vodka you can find preferably 100 proof or better
Grind the resin into a powder, combine with blood and vodka. Let sit until resin dissolved completely. Use for petitions, scribing and any place you would use ink.
🩸Poppet magic: Also known as voodoo dolls I make self love poppets by free bleeding on a red flannel before using for a poppet
🩸Self love/sweet jars: Instead of putting him in a jar put yourself in a jar and love on you
🩸Offering : if I’m asking the universe for anything I offer it with my blood attached
🩸Feeding oil: I create a mixture of my blood oil and herbs that I use to feed the wood of my altar, my lodestones and many other things but mostly for my altar which I feed quarterly.
It is not for me to tell you how to use the power of your period to work spells tricks and rituals. You have your own moral compass. You can use menstrual blood for both light and dark magic. What you do is between you and Uni
