My girlfriend and I are going to do a blood bond ritual. Does anyone know how? Or is it just as simple as drinking each others blood?
You are too young to be doing such a ritual in the first place, and second it is much more complicated than that-- at least in my style of Vampirism (blood and psy). Being a Wiccan, there are other atributes associated as well, but I won't bother going into that since that is not what you ask.
Again, too young to be doing something like that.
If you're going to agree with me, have the decency to spell my name correctly, or call me Nara.
Indeed, disrepsecting one's name can be considered quite offensive.
Just dont.. a blod bond..is a bond for all eternity.. it is a soul tie.. and this crap about having to drink thrice.. maybe in role play...but not in real life
a blood bond is on a level with a handbinding or marriage for serious vampires. if you are one, think twice, if not, dont go there at all. feeding is a different thing though of course
I agree with Narakyndryn and some of the others in saying that this is a complex thing and a serious decision. Give it a year or 7.
I agree with most of you, it's a very serious matter and will indefinitely bond you to whomever you perform it with for life. You shouldn't participate in a blood bond unless you are aware of all of the consequences and meanings and even then it's not a very good idea especially for someone so young.
what they said dont mess with shit like that do your homework get CERTIFIABLE medical checks and discuss yeah then think about it, this would be a large step to take so tread carefully as well
I still keep tabs on those who've shared my blood, though in some cases I did not partake of them in return.
Niles and I might go through a ritual this coming Yule-- it's a bit of a surprise, so I won't say much more. :)
That's wonderful Nara dear.I'm on the same track with mine but it won''t be thawt soon.As for the question,leave it alone u have to KNOW that this will be a forever tie you two togther.
Shame shame you...you vampire person! You should know better! Hell! Even I know better!
First off, you have no idea how old I am. Second, my girlfriend means alot to me. I understand and am fully aware of the consequences of my actions. This ritual means alot to us. Trust me I have been giving it alot of thought. Maybe some more would be a good idea. But nevertheless, I know in my heart that this is what we want. I would die for my Tiger, and this is one way in which to show my commitment to her.
On another note: I would also like the information on an educational level. I am putting together a binder of vampiric knowledge, myths, facts, and general other information. I would like to include more on blood bonds, for the only information I have is sketchy, and isn't very descriptive.
Narakyndryn is right about the danger, i am not mearly agreeing with her, i actually have seen what can and will go wrong if you dont think it through, since i am at the age of 17 i have no place to tell you what to do or what not to do, but trust me you dont what to do this lightly because the consiquences are extreem.
Dont dabble with stuff you know nothing about is my opinion. If i were you id stay away until enough experience is gained and even then id be careful.
actually i'll play devils advocate here for a moment.....
this individual has not given an age anywhere that I can find.....so why all the commentary's about your too young......for all we know it is smoe 90 year old grgandpa.....unlikely yes....but not withing the realm of impossible....I usually agree with you Nara.....but as long as this person is asking about it then he is likely not going into it blindfolded or we would never have had the question posed....but I do agree that some very serious thought go into this before acting on it.....the comment of a year or seven of thought is about right...kinda like facial tatoos....think real hard how much you want it in oh say......40 or 50 years...or more.
Daer' you always like to thwart me in a roundabout sort of way. Usually it ends up helping me.
But I will say it again-- I think it is something to think about for a -long- time. I'm even having doubts of asking my Master if he'll take part of it with me-- we're not married, we are still dating, and so far so good. I have even told him if he wants my hand in marriage, I will be finishing school first before I even try on a dress.
Let's put it this way: I was engaged to be wed to another before I even knew Niles existed-- I loved the man more than anything, and put his happiness before mine.
Bad idea.
Soon (well after we were engaged-- 3 years to be exact), I was nearly losing my parents because I felt loving him was my 'important thing to do' with him.
He and I are-- obviously-- no longer together-- damn near matching tattoos or not.
No man, woman, being is worth a blood bond cerimony if there is not enough thought put into it-- lifetimes could even be put into such a category.
You can compile all you know, fact and fiction together, and still, I don't feel it's right.
I've wanted to do the same thing-- and Pandora dear can atest for me, I am listening to my Heart -and- my Head and the things around me as well.
It's not right, it doesn't need to be done-- so I am waiting for -the- exact moment.
If it's on my death bed-- so be it.
The time will be right, and I will be there.
oh I do agree....just felt that there didn't seem to be a devils advocate about.....and since I always try to look to both sides of an issue.....if nobody else is doing it I will...even if I don't always agree with what it is i'm saying....there just needs to be opposing opinion.....to keep fueling the debate
i agree with azriel abou it. i would like more info on blood bonds too. i would die for you too. i hope i never have to prove it. love you lots
You need -quite- a bit more infortaion about it-- plus, I still feel the two of you are -far- too young to be doing something so important.
Truths and myths.
I have had young adults ask me about this. Yes, medical background; yes have every conceivable warning available to you. I will tell you what I know from first hand experience;
I have been blood bound/married. It is a tie, no doubt yes. Through certain circumstances, growing older (not growing up) we grew apart, there still IS a bond there, no doubt.
I have also, unfortunately experienced the worst part of it, and what it does to someone. Had you ever heard of or considered the implications of if the blood is too strong for each other? I have first had witnessed one of the two go insane, attacking the other for more. This is the darker side of blood bonds. There is VERY little you can do to reverse this. There is VERY little you can to test this. The right moon? The right words to prevent such a tragedy? There's none that I have learnt, heard of, or been advised to.
The two of you love each other, no doubt. My blessings to the both of you for a long and happy life together. Perhaps I could offer a suggestion rather than chistism? Ask each other if you feel you have known each other before, from centuries ago. Most of, (treading on careful words here) people I have councilled have said yes. Perhaps a 'reunion' ceremony. It is based on the blood bond already instilled, a very long ago, and it sanctifies your reunion. No blood is necessary being that you bodies from so long ago has already long since past to dust, but it is the spirit of it that is beautiful, and infinately less dangerous. (((For everyone involved)))

That sonds fantastic, Lilian. :) Perhaps Niles and I are in need of such a cerimony as well.
Have you any information you could pass along?
i agree with Narakyndryn, dont do it cause your too young. im too young, but never thought of THAT!! its pretty heavy stuff you know. ar sure that shes even THE one? what if you do this ritual, and find out that you two are not right together? i wouldnt do it.
Again, you have no proof of my age. True, I'm not a 90 year old guy, but I'm not exactly a baby either. I'm old enough to know the consquences of my actions. I realize that the blood bond is a very important aspect of vampiric lifestyle. Or at least when it comes to a couples point of veiw. I love Tiger. I would die for her. I am more than willing to pledge my soul to her forever. I put my Tiger before myself. Nothing else is important to me. I value her life over mine. I would be willing to do anything for her. And I know she feels the same way. You can ask her yourself if you doubt it. Tiger, I love you. I will talk to you later. And to everyone else, this is a great disscussion, and I appriciate all feedback.
Ok... ive done well in keeping my outh shut on this as everyone chooses what they do with their lives.
I love my parents, yes. I love my brother, yes. I love Epic, yes... and I would step a bus for him.. I would take the whip to spare his pain. Some dont like me saying that, and to those I say "Frankly, my dear..."
However... the people Ive listed have enough in their lives to deal with. The only think I can do to prove I love them is to be there in every way I can.
But there are problems *I* have as well. Dreams I have... and things I "see".
These are not things I would want to share with my family or Epic. These are most frightening visions and feelings.
I wouldn't do a blood bond if my life depended on it, as the transfer would pass those things to him, and his to me.
This is a thought to be had in any relation it may occur to you.
Obviously you say you are old enough to do as you wish and know what you ask.
Then go... do it.
But be warned.
No one of this site containing the information of which you seek shall share it...
We are the few who have seen the powers you ask. We are the few who know better...
One more thing to point out in what i stated directly above...
The key word, my son, is FEW.

"I realize that the blood bond is a very important aspect of vampiric lifestyle. Or at least when it comes to a couples point of veiw. I love Tiger. I would die for her.

My Dearest,
It seems that you have pledged yourself to her already. Perhaps, dare I say more than many men could imagine. Are you trying, with your binder as previously mentioned, to learn about vampiric ways, or finding ways to show your devotion to your love? Truly a catch 22. From what I have learnt those ways are not in any written form, nor are they openly taught by elders, unfortunately. That is something extremely discreet and should be taken with the utmost diligent care, as you care for your beloved Tiger. On the other hand, you screen from the rafters your undying love, which she is a very lucky young lady and I trust treats you with the same honour. However, these two things do clash.
You absolutely have the passion, so perhaps you could show her in a passionate way such as going to the place that means the most to the two of you and proclaim each others love under a full moon. "I realize that the blood bond is a very important aspect of vampiric lifestyle." Not necessarily, it is also as I had said a tool to hurt as well. "Or at least when it comes to a couples point of veiw." Let your heart and passion direct you, not what you hear from others, it may not be true.
Take care and my blessings to you

I thoght this was closed but oh well.
I for one am not the one to speak of age but i am one to know the major dangers of it.I've been a witness also of two different couples by sppecial invite and although it is beautiful it can be deadly.One couple was perfect until they did it and right after the second in the relationship turned quite violent towards the partner to the point where they broke up and a restraining order had to be done.The other were better off cuz they were almost equal but there were occasional excess feedings.I know for myself i have chosen for the moment a psychic connection with my Pixie and it has proven just as well right now,she opens er mind to me as much as she wants and i don't pry into hers.It might sound crazy(huh crazy me nah) but try out the other options that were suggested and like with many things you are about to introduce into your body think about family history,all possible side effects,your own experience with foriegn substances in your system etc and if you still wanna go from there spirits bless and look over you.
I never thought of it that way. As far as the whole, problems being transferred to each other (not an exact quote I know, but I think you get the idea?) With the other thing. (Don't my memory suck?) Yes to both. I am looking for the information on an...um....informational basis, as well as trying to find a way to prove my love to her. I actually saw the term "blood bond" in my glossery of vampiric terms. I saw it and thought, thats perfect. This forum has helped me to understand the depth of its meaning. Do I make any sence? I wanted to do something to bind us together as one. To make our love complete. So that our bodies and souls are as one. We both want it. I'm just trying to make sure 110% that Tiger understands what the whole thing means. Thats why I brought her here, to the Rave, to read my post. (In case you havn't noticed, VampireTiger is the little darling I speak of.) Maybe I will give it a little more thought. In the mean time, I can't thank everyone enough for your support and opinions. Its great to have a place to go where people understand, where I can converse with my peers, other people like myself. Others who feel the thirst. Thanx again.
Look up Handfasting.
It might be just what you're looking for with a less vampiric twist.
