[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.
