[Opinion] Use of menstrual blood

[Aldebaran]

Wait, wait, wait...

If such disposed of blood has such charge, how high must be charge of blood right from the veins?

You know? I dont know. I never considered it lol. If I had to guess, I would think menstrual blood might even be more powerful because it is so layered, but then it would lack the pure life energy of a tapped vein? Interesting.

We are getting into dangerous territory though. My advice - no blood. It is just not necessary and there are so many other elements you can use to do the same job. A lot of people use blood because their technique is weak or misaligned, and they are overcompensating for this with an excessive power ingredient.

i made a short post on menstrual blood in my journal if anyone is interested.

Ugh... if you see yourself bleeding bright red blood, then it is artery blood. good reason to panic and stop the bleeding as fast as you can. (bleeding from bigger artery is risk of bleeding out) You want to get vein blood, or somehow mixed from capillaries in your skin. Blood in veins is dark red because of CO2. O2 in artery blood gives bright color. The difference is quite noticeable.
(top is blood from veins, middle and bottom two are from artery)

I really got scared when I've read some blood magic book speaking about using artery blood for magic and taking it out of the chest. Either the author was a liar or really brave/mad kind of person, doing such a thing really.

If you refer to the black blood as dark one, that blood is dead and decayed in medical terms.


That is an interesting point.

That could be very useful info for a snippet of information for the reader. It's difficult to stop menstrual bleeding, as that only stops on its own dime after a few days. Perhaps help can come in some other way by a doctor though. My menstrual bleeding changes its shade a lot through the week it is there.

Authors telling others to extract blood from the chest is definitely one way to invite some terrible accidents. Quite scary to hear about.

I would think it would be very powerful in fertility type magic and in gardening, and i would have thought highly charged with life.

If directing magic at someone the more personal the item (belonging, blood, hair, nails etc) the stronger it would be, wouldn't get more personal than that.

No experience though, not my cup of tea - Women's business.

I remember reading an old Italian practice where the bride put someone her menstrual blood in the first red sauce she made for her new husband, and theory went she would keep his obedience.

It probably depends on many factors. Are her cycles aligned with auspicious astrological phenomena, or are they out of wack like most women's? Are her periods painful or painless? And so on. Blood from a woman with terrible habits and no astrological sync is worthless. And if her cycles are in sync with auspicious astrological phases, it usually acts as a marker of "X ritual is better to do than Y" or "I am being cleansed as a result of Z influence/action/ritual", or something of the sort. Speaking from experience.

If it is to be "offering" to anything, the menstrual blood will offer itself by pouring out of the body at a particularly auspicious time (like the new moon in Virgo). But the key is: the bleeding needs to take place by itself at the perfectly appropriate time, else it won't be good enough.

Have I ever used it in a ritual myself beyond just letting it do what it does with its oddly perfect sync? No, I do not see the point. As Morell says, from the veins is more potent/directed for such purposes but it is also much more binding and harder to break should anything go wrong. I wouldn't recommend the usage of blood for most practitioners mostly because it is quite prone to mishandling and can bring a lot of tears long-term if you fuck it up by even accidentally linking an unintended thought to it during ritual. Blood is often not needed and fully optional anyways. Don't do blood oaths, kids!

Within Iberian magic and Portuguese folk traditions, there are documented uses of menstrual blood for binding purposes. The practice of women giving menstrual blood to a man, usually mixed into food or drink, appears in records as early as the sixteenth century. The original intention was not to create passion or romantic desire, but to establish a bond similar to the mother–child connection. The effect described in these traditions is dependence and attachment rather than conventional romantic attraction. The ethical question is separate, but the practice exists and survives because those who use it believe it works.

You can give it a read. Found it in the library and both links work.

Scary quite fits, that was kind of my feeling too.

I've read your post. Good one. I disagree but it's good.

I think that menstrual blood is quite diluted and not as raw as it is rather dirty or tainted. Definitely not pure thing on multiple levels. Physically it of course gets mixed with body fluids in privates of a woman, but those are not necessary sexual. They are simply maintenance on the standart and sexual energy in them is rather residual, just coming from the fact of genitals being genitals. So it's rather weak and it only lowers power of the blood.

Blood is connected with the life, soul and will of the person. So it's not only how it works, but also the person themselves. There was excellent article here on value of energy of a person for a vampire. Worth reading. Here is a link. It makes one realize that while blood is itself a great vessel for energy, if person doesn't have much energy, supercharged blood cannot be gained from them.

For the sexual liquids, I would rather say that usual liquids in genitals are genital liquids, taking care of the organ to remain clean and healthy. Nothing much sexual really. If you want sexual fluids, then collect them when the body is aroused and truly charged with sexuality. I can definitely see that such collected fluid would have quite an energy. Combined with blood intentionally drawn from vein, freely chosen by the mage with clear intent and mixed by freshly collected sex fluid could make pretty much charged mix, though it still would be very grounding thanks to sexuality and effective on physical world rather than on the spiritual. Blood feels to be having more wide range of influence when pure rather than mixed with sex fluid. Just my opinion.

I just don't see a blood coming out like unwanted pee mixed with maintenance fluids carrying out waste from the vagina nd the womb to be anywhere that powerful. It's just animal side of the person. having connection to them, but no real charge of intent by itself.

THIS is how you disagree with someone in a way that continues a discussion so both parties can learn and grow.

If only the rest of the internet had this level of maturity. Bravo Sir Morrell.

Thank you. Though don't judge from one experience. Your post is of angle I disagree with, but I can see that you did some work and that it is based. That is simply something that speaks for itself. It is not nonsense. If it were nonsense, I would probably say something different.

Blood bonding is definitely a thing, though I have doubts that menstrual blood would be more effective than blood right from the vein, which both genders can use for the ritual.
