Just for the sake of comparison, would offering other people's blood be considered equally devotional or less or more?
Less.
Less "skin in the game"

Not THAT'S a question. One could divide it up into whether the blood was voluntarily given, stolen, and what all have you. I imagine you'd get swildly differeing answers from, say, Kenneth Grant, O9A, Crowley, and others.Just for the sake of comparison, would offering other people's blood be considered equally devotional or less or more?
Absolutely!!! I live there and there isn't one day i don't dream of the possibility of LEAVING never to go back again!! Living in the most marginal areas (anywhere really) where crime runs amock, will desensitize one to blood squeamishness. Even just driving by those areas could do it. There has been so much blood spilled on every corner for no good reason. It definitely does something to your psyche. But what about diabetics that have to prick their fingers all throughout the day to check their sugar??? Do these "sensitives" consider them satanics????Actually, the right neighborhood in a city can inure one to the sight of blood. Like Bogie tells the Wehrmacht officers in "Casablanca," "There are certain neighborhoods in New York I'd advise even you to stay out of."
Well...the disbetics are scrying human blood for information not available to laymen. Plus they use implements whose mechanics only a few cognoscienti understand. Sounds suspicious to me. Imagine how it'll play out in the First Babtist Church in Toadstomp, Texas' piney woods.Absolutely!!!

So, devotion as transactional/contractual, obviously with the corresponding emotions of the symbology of blood as vehicle of energetic transmission. I guess that makes sense.Less "skin in the game"
It gets me weighing which is the greater sacrifice - what one is willing to give with a pin prick or what one is not willing to give. Of course this can extend to a lot of scenarios, and I assuming that greater giving means greater reception in terms of power. I have Al-Kindi's "stellar rays" model in mind.One could divide it up into whether the blood was voluntarily given, stolen, and what all have you.
When was it not?Why has magic gotten so performative?
Would then the value of other's blood take greater importance?
