Blood Magic
In a very broad sense blood magick is life magick. It’s primary principle is vitalism. The concept that life energy is universal and elemental. Blood magick is considered to be able to give life to intention. There is a lot of blood related belief still out there, and little of it is based on actual experience as people have largely abandoned the old blood rites. What more proof of the power of blood than it’s life saving properties? What more proof of the wisdom in the way of blood than the truths we have learned about life based on the study of blood.
The three instincts that we have when we see red, when we see blood, are lust, fear, and hunger. All blood practices put you in touch with one of these forces, and let you channel and even perhaps transform these forces. We have instincts for the order of blood. Our prey should bleed, even our enemy should bleed, but our tribe should not bleed. Our family should not bleed. We fear blood because we fear the breaking of the life bond, the covenant between body and spirit.
“Of all writings I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit.” Friedrich Nietzsche (German classical Scholar, Philosopher, 1844-1900.)
