I would like to hear from those of you who have any valid input on bonds.
I mean real bonds, be them of a blood rite / bond, a ceremonial bonds, magical bond and or other related bonds and rites.
Please be as detailed as you can as to whats involved and why.
Also I ask that if you do not have some thing of validity to add to this thread that you do not post. So no postings of "I agree with that" or "thank you thats so informative"
When dealing with a blood feed, there is the risk, and potential, to become more, easily manipulated by the currents of one you drink from. If and only if, they are stronger in their will at the time of feeding, stronger in their focus and intentionally work their way into your psyche as well as mental state when you are opened to them.
The link goes both ways, the donor and the one feeding have a union of energies if you will. The blood carries with it the genetic traits as well as the residual perceptions and corresponding alliances to those energies by means of the "crytstals" found in the water of the plasma. This creates a link, to the mechanism of the body, which allows a control factor to work its way in. When the donor has been inflenced by the host, to this degree where they both become more in tune. The one with the more dominant personality will become more involved, more dominant in the relationships etc of the one feeding.
The vampiric one, leeching away the energies and such will become more responsive to the whims of their donors.
If the donor is of weaker nature then there is not so much of a problem for the one doing the feeding.
If the feeding is a sexual practice then they will become bound to eachother through the heighting of the pleasure that a deep feed can produce.
If it is just a blood feeding, and control is maintained from both parties then what has the capacity to be drawn off, will allow for control, and stable energies, and help balance out the individual. They can then go screw after if they want. Feeding first, is always recommended.
When you are feeding from someone, and drawing the energy out of them, to say fuel your form of the art, or some rite where you need more energy then you have, you must relax the individiual and then draw it out of them, so you can focus it how you need to, then go about doing your rite as quickly as possible.
If you are weak, the more you engage in these act, the more of a pawn you will become. IF you are strong, the more manipulative and dominering you will become by nature of the act. If you are balanced you will be able to maintain the control you need to exercise your art.
Thank you for your addition, But I did not mean "feeding" or in a vampiric way..
I was speak on a more spiritual , peer to peer, lover to lover, Master to servant way..
Ah,,,,fun, well, depends on the purpose one wants to achieve, on that. Take out the conotation of blood, from the above statements and the same holds true for the majority of the relationships that exist.
There was a story recently of two twins, separated at birth who married, not knowing who they were. Aside from the ick factor it is interesting.
Did a bond with two friends of a nick of the fingers and made a spell and put our blood together to strengthen the pact we made.
I have personally gone through a blood bond with a family member of mine, by marriage...This dealt with the Native American rite of blood brother.
In this rite, both parties cut the palm of their hands and tie the hands together. With this done, the vow or pact is spoken. With incense, candles if prefered.
The subjective thoughts after the blood bond are there, sometimes mildly, sometimes outright. Mostly in dreams, but you do get that sense of dejavu.
In my experiences, I have been known to think about this individual and speak with them without them present, or know where they are and what they are doing.
Later on, when we are speaking in the presence of one another, we usually start off where the previous conversation ended, when we are away from one another.
Things like that. An awareness of entirety at times as well.
Thank you, Soulshroude
You are always so very insightful.
Any one else have anything wonderful to share?
I bless whom I choose with my blood protection. Meaning by the strength of myself I protect them from spiritual abuse. It seems to also give physical protection as those I have blessed are rarely injured. I have only ever blessed someone I love deeply and/or am related to.
I hope that helps.
It occured to me that I did not speak about the reverse effects on myself. Their own ways of protection are imbibed upon me. Their physical, spirital and emotional strength. I find that if I possess a similar trait it is intensified. Which makes a difficult person if the blood bond if not done correctly. By correctly I mean limitions on what you give and receive.
I have gone through a blood bond with my best friend. what we did was a spell that binded our friendship and it called for each of us to prick our finger and drop the blood onto the indcense that we had to burn. i cant remember the words that we used, but it has made us closer as friends and we are way more connected than we were before.
We are not talking about Vampires, but thank you for your input.
Please read threads before posting in them.
well to me bonding in any form is important anytime you exchange Blood to another your bonding with them, I have done this in many different ways like for protection and for Blessings of strength etc.
well when 2 humans do it they promise eashother everything involved in the pakt. But i would guess around 98% of it is just for fun. After all it is only humans.
One piece of advice: stay away from blood bonds. I speak from experience, they are a bitch to undo, and have some nasty reprocussions when you do undo them (and inevitably, you will have to undo them). And never, never, NEVER perform a blood bond because you love somebody.

that was a very very good advice. Couldent have said it better myself.
My blood relatives are mostly stangers to me. Strangers have become my family. The bond of love binds us. we are forever connected through love to each other.
My intake on this from reading it is that you seek the bonds in which they bind the people together thru a bond which they show love to each other thru it...Now when one feeds off another they will connect in my belief spiritually because the blood is part of your soul...So it will connect you that way & as it does the people doing this connect with each other because then they experience the feelings & emotions of the other kin from which they feed from & so it makes a bond of love or whatever word you choose to use
I did a blood bond with my one friend back in jr. high.
It was very special to me and still is, but we didn't have like a "ceremony" or anything. All we did was cut our sides with a razorblade and take a little blood on our fingertips and put it in the wounds.
Woulldn't blood bond rituals/ceremonies of the type listed directly above cause AIDS if one were to carry the disease?
midnightsgentlekiss, In the context we are speaking in you would be doing such things with some one you trust and there for would inply that if some one was HIV positive that they would tell you fist.. Kinda the same way you would hope the person your are having sex with should tell you.. Its a intimate thing not a casual thing..
**** You should never run around and drink peoples blood. There are blood born diseases that have not even been cataloged yet. Sex, blood play, blood bonds and the like should only be done in a long term relationship were both partys have disclosed all previous acts to the other party and BOTH have clean bills of health and have been tested. ****
The most moving rite I ever performed was my own initiation and concecration of myself into the lifestyle. I'll just leave it at that. It's very personal.
I have performed many rituals since then and most do involve my own blood. The consecration of all my tools was very amazing, as well.
midnightsgentlekiss, we were both tested before we perfomed it to make sure that one of us wouldn't be infecting the other.
It is just plain stupid to transfer blood from your body to another person's without knowing if they are HIV/AIDS positive.
I have two blood brothers though one has passed. The one that is still living we have remained close for almost 30yrs regardless of the distance between us. There is also a blood bond ritual between 2 sang. vampires which can be even stronger.
I have a bond with my best friend, we just sort of understand each other
