    I also hear a thing about the subscription thing. If anyone unsubscribes, resubscribes, then resets the notifications it should fix it. UA-cam is weird

    I love how you always talk about sensitive or taboo topics so responsibly! ♥
    I personally love using period blood in my practice, and only rarely prick my finger (but also have no problem with it). For me, the pain and discomfort that I endure every month before bleeding is a greater sacrifice and it's more closely related to the life and death cycle. It's a monthly death, in a way. Period blood plays a central role in my life and not only magically, so it's just natural for me to use it in my personal practice.
    Working with blood is not new for my but your video gave me a lot of insights on how to use it in new ways. Danke sehr!

    You always bring up things no one ever talks about! Thank you for that! Blood magic is honestly so personal that I find it strange when people try to interfere with a strangers working.. It's not for everyone but neither is anything else. It's up to the practitioner to decide what magic is best for themselves and everyone deserves the right to practice in whatever style they want to as long they're not hurting other people or cultures

    I would think donating your blood to a blood bank would also be a legitimate offering and sacrifice to a deity or spirit.

    THANK YOU for what you said about period blood. I completely agree. Period blood is a great offering under certain circumstances, but it is not a sacrifice!

    Love how you’re using your platform to cover taboo topics!
    QUICK TIP:
    Whenever you accidentally cut yourself on paper, glass or whatever. Dry it out on a photo frame and scrape it off the glass when dry.
    It can be stored for ages and lasts longer in oils and alcohol and will not coagulate.
    You can also mix it with salt for a great protection.

    Thank you so much for making this video, and for the trigger warnings. I'm a recovered self harmer and honestly I am so lucky I never got any bad infections or anything, because I was not safe. Safety is so important. Thank you for talking about what no one talks about.

    Blood magic is so powerful. I made a spell jar and added blood. I've never felt so conected to anything in my practice quite like that.
    I also never really hear much about the topic since it is so tabbo. Thats for sharing this information. Your videos are always so helpful.

    • @TheNorseWitch
      @TheNorseWitch  Рік тому +1

      I feel this! The first time I made a bind rune with blood I felt it come to life, and I still feel it’s spirit lingering. It’s now probably the bind rune and spirit I work with most often.

    It's written that in old norse traditions blood was offered. If people are too sensitive maybe they should try Christianity. You don't have to apologize for sharing knowledge.

    I find it very interesting how split the magical community is on the topic of blood. I've seen everything from its the most powerful thing you can offer to its worthless as an offering because your body is constantly making more. I've seen that you should 'blood your runes' before using them and I've seen people say that you'll forever ruin your runes if you do that. No middle ground it seems.

    • @TheNorseWitch

    This is so interesting! i was hoping for a video on this topic as it's something that i'm curious about and few people mention. which is sad. we need knowledge, and that does NOT mean that speaking about advertises any form of self harm, it's upsetting that people immediately jump to such conclusions when you're just trying to share informations.
    i have to poke myself daily to check my glucose levels and always have extra blood on me ( lol ) and was wondering if it could be useful for something, so this really helps. Thank you for your content, i really appreciate it.

    I just strted working with blood magic, and I can say that it's a pretty powerful tool for sure. Also many peple don't know, but you can substitute blood with other options too, like beet juice. There is a really good book on this topic, Of Blood and Bone, by Kate Freuler that is really good material on this topic.

    Hi Bente! Thanks for this amazing video! Blood is always a hard topic to deal with and you've done it so well!
    I only want to testify that menstrual blood has been asked to me by Hel to purify and give strength to the pendulum I use to communicate with her and other deities. Despite Hel being a death Goddess, she asked me specifically for menstrual blood, I don't know if she did that to avoid scaring me or for other reasons, but that's what she asked for!

I use blood myself as an offering to my Goddess and will working with certain patrons i work with. I always say think before you do and think if this offering is right for this deity or working etc and if it is use it if you wish. Blessings Norse Witch.

  • @MyositisMedic
    @MyositisMedic Рік тому +1

    I'm still a bit wary about blood magic - mostly because I grew up from a "Christian" background (very loosely but still present) - but I have performed a sort of blood sacrifice to Hel when I moved into my new home.
    I had cut myself accidentally while moving from our previous home and had the compelling sense to keep the paper towel I used to control the bleeding so I stored it away in a sterilized container. When we got to our new home, I had felt the need to bury the paper towel in the outside altar that presented itself to me as an offering for our family and new home.
    I still don't know what to think of it but nothing "bad" has happened because of it as a result. It's not something I would be fully comfortable with dabbling in myself without a mentor, for sure.

  • @morganec.4138
    @morganec.4138 Рік тому +2

    I kind of disagree about period blood not being a good offering as some people can experience huge pain during/around their periods. I think that aknowledging this pain and offering some period blood to deities/spirits/whatever, can be a really meaningful and powerful offering. We can also see it that way : with each period, with every month passing, period-people lose a bit of their fertility, of their youth. It's an opportunity, a chance, that vanished forever to conceive. Yes, potentially, they can conceive later if they wish/are able to, but this particular month, this particular period, the chance is over. It can be seen as a sacrifice IMHO.

    • @TheNorseWitch
      @TheNorseWitch  Рік тому +2

      To me it would only be a sacrifice if the person in question deliberately chooses to not get pregnant that month for the deity/spirit. I for example don’t want to get pregnant either way, so I get my periods every month no matter if I plan an offering or not. It’s not like I choose to get that period and endure the cramps for the deity, if that makes sense. But of course for a person who wants to get pregnant and who decides to, as a sacrifice to the deity, move those plans back in time… for that person it would make a good offering

      @TheNorseWitch  11 місяців тому +1

      Mine are too, but the fact that I have to go through this either way, no matter if I’m seeing it as an offering or not, kind of cancels it for me as an offering or a sacrifice…

    After I used my own blood on the spell
    What shall I do with the spell after I put a blood on the spell?
    Burn it?
    Throw it away?
    Or Do something else?

    • @TheNorseWitch
      @TheNorseWitch  3 місяці тому +1

      Depends on the spell? The blood doesn’t change the spell in itself. If you charge a candle with blood you’d still burn it. If you charge a spell bag with blood you’d still keep it somewhere…

      I was coerced by my ex into doing this in 2022, under the guide of part of our BDSM-style relationship. She made a pink sea salt pentagram encircled by black sea salt, with a pink candle at each point. She carved her last name between my shoulder blades. When we went to the local ER to make sure there were no infections and the doctor asked what happened, she replied "kinky s***"...I thought it was an absolutely hilarious answer but within a couple days after that, our relationship started to sour, due to other emotional abuse. I broke up with her 5 months later and haven't seen her in 3 months. While I won't say I recommend it, I won't say I don't either. Make sure if you decide to go that route, make sure they are "The One".
