Now that you understand the dark phase of the moon and how it applies to your life, it’s time to discuss some of the oldest tools of witchcraft: blood and bones. Like the dark phase of the moon, these topics are sometimes avoided in popular practice. They have so much power, and yet, somewhat understandably, most people view them as repellent. Of course, blood and bones are linked to one of humanity’s greatest fears: death.

These subjects that people find so terrifying make up our very life energy. Blood, semen, urine, menses, bones, and even saliva are literally at the core of survival. Their presence creates life, and their absence takes life away. So while these topics can be gory, gritty, and gross, they speak to people on a primitive level as old as the earth.

This part of the book explores how and why to incorporate blood and bodily fluids (including menstrual blood, urine, and more) into spells and rituals. It also delves into the use of various animal parts in magick, how to source them, and how to safely prepare their remains for use in your spellcraft.
