What Is Blood Magick ?

Blood Magick: A Blood Spell

Blood magick is the act of using blood as a tool when making a protection amulet, performing a ritual, casting a spell, binding, hexing or cursing.

CASTING A BLOOD SPELL-

Ok this is where things get tricky. Blood-spells are extremely difficult to unbind. Remember that your blood is your essence. Without your blood a spell carries your intent, your purpose, your focus and drive. With your blood a spell carries all that plus a piece of you. Blood spells require quite a bit more energy than non-blood spells. The DNA in your blood resonates at the same frequency as the blood in your body. Even after it has dried out the DNA in the blood is still you. You are bound to the spell just as you would be bound to an enchanted object (like the protection amulet). Breaking a blood spell is near to impossible. The results of a blood-spell is stronger than that of a regular spell, for all those involved, for better or for worse.

Additionally there is no such thing as an anonymous blood-spell. A blood-spell carries with it, your signature. Blood attaches your essence. It makes sense because blood is personally identifiable, magical, life water. Without blood there is no life. Your blood is unique and identifies as yours alone, a combination of your parents and similar to your siblings, but uniquely yours. So if you wish to remain anonymous in your spell work stop here. Read another spell post. This is not the one for you.

Depending on the intent of your spell you may need different supplies. Follow all the same steps of typical spell casting and add a few drops (3 for spiritual matters and 4 for earthly concerns) of blood to your charm, written spell or element of choice. For deity-involved spell-casting your blood is an offering. Treat your blood with the same reverence you do the incense, food or other offering.

If you are using Fire magic you can drip the blood onto the paper before burning. It will not cause your blood to boil or anything like that. It will release a tiny bit of your essence from the physical plane into the spiritual.

If you are practising Earth magic dripping your blood onto the Earth will not cause the Earth to open up and consume you. It will release a tiny bit of your essence from the physical plane into the Earth’s energy.

If you are practising Water magic no leviathan will emerge from the depths of the drain to eat you. It will release a tiny bit of your essence from the physical plane into the sea of the cosmos.

If you are practising Air magic the wind-swept blood droplets will not cause a tornado to destroy you or your home. It will release a tiny bit of your essence from the physical plane into the atmosphere.

If you are casting your spell with the help of a deity research your deity’s opinion of blood. The gods are many things and some are squeamish. Learn the story of your deity and make a guess. Follow your instinct. Your deity will let you know if the blood is appreciated or not.

If you have the need for a sudden spell without time for preparation then don’t use blood magick

Conclude your spell-work the way you normally would and go on with life. Do not be surprised if the recipient of your spell feels like you must have had something to do with the change in their life. There is no such thing as an anonymous blood-spell.

Blood-spells hold on longer and act more swiftly than a bloodless spell. As with all spells the effects will wane with time.

Magickal Uses of Hyssop
GENDER : Masculine

PLANET : Jupiter

ELEMENT : Fire

POWERS : Purification Protection

Folklore: In Renaissance-era Europe, hyssop was typically used as an air freshener in the same manner as we potpourri today. It was common to strew crushed hyssop leaves and flowers of around the house, particularly in sickrooms, to hide unpleasant smells – after all, daily bathing was hardly popular. Eventually, when bathing became more common, hyssop was still used in sickrooms because of its healing properties. Conveniently enough, it also killed body lice, which were rampant at the time.

Hung up in the home, hyssop can rid a house of negativity. Add it into a sachet or water to infuse or sprinkle on people in need of purification. It’s also good for use in magical self-defense – carry some in your pocket, or spread it around the perimeter of your property to add a layer of magical protection.
In The Book of Exodus, on the night of Passover, the blood of the sacrifices was applied to mark the doorposts by using Hyssop.

It is used by the priests in the Temple of Solomon for various purification rites.

Hyssop is often used to fill the Catholic ceremonial Aspergillum for ritual blessing the congregation.
The sponge soaked in sour wine or vinegar and which was offered to Jesus on the cross, was attached to a branch of Hyssop.

Hyssop is a purifying herb, used to sweep sacred spaces. Infused with water, it is sprinkled lightly over objects to cleanse them.
The plant cleanses and protects homes from harmful energies; hanging at windows or doors or scattered.
It is used in many protection rituals for both the mind and the body.

Hyssop is considered to contain dragon energy and this can be bestowed by burning the plant as an incense or burning it in a fire.
It is mentioned in Psalm 51 of the Bible as a Spiritual Purifying Agent, as it is written: Cleanse me with

HYSSOP; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. A weak tea made from this herb has been used as a Spiritual Bath by many people to take off a Jinx or to rid themselves of Bad Habits. After bathing, they carry the used bath water to a crossroads at dawn and throw it over the left shoulder toward sunrise in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, then walk home without looking back. Some folks tell us that they make HYSSOP into tea and add it to floor wash to clear away so-called Crossed Conditions at Home, disposing of the used wash water in the same way.

Protection Spell:
The herbs that are most normally used for protection are those that have powers to disperse evil and create a protective barrier when burned, carried on your person, or hung wherever protection is needed. Because these herbs contain positive energy they are able to repel, or bounce back negative vibrations or energy.

Protection spells should be done during a waxing moon, suggested colors are red and white. The following herbs are generally considered protective in nature (this is certainly not a complete list!):
Angelica, Balm of Gilead, Basil, Betony, Dill, Elder berries, Fennel, Garlic (of course), Horehound, Hyssop, Mistletoe, Mugwort, Mullein, Rose Geranium, Rosemary, Rue, St John’s Wort, Tarragon and Vervain.

One of the simplest protective spells is to make a charm using three of the above herbs, mix them together and place them in the center of a red or white piece of cloth. (One made of Elderberries, Rosemary and Tarragon has a really delightful fragrance if it is to be used indoors.) Gather up the corners, tie and charge the sachet saying words like:

“By Water, Earth, Fire and Air,
Protect that for which I care!”

Repeat the chant three times, with greater strength and authority each time. Carry the charm with you. To protect the home, place it in the highest point of the house or near the hearth (the kitchen if you don’t have a fireplace). To protect you and your car while driving, place the charm under the driver’s seat.
