Blood rituals

Blood rituals are ceremonial practices that involve the symbolic or actual use of blood, often to forge spiritual or cultural bonds, or seek specific outcomes. These rituals may include offering blood sacrifices, drawing blood through physical acts, or using blood as an emblem of life, power, or connection to divine forces. Historically, they are found in various cultures and religions, serving purposes such as consecration, initiation, or appeasing deities. While they can evoke strong emotional or symbolic significance, blood rituals are complex, rooted in deep cultural contexts, and often subject to legal and ethical considerations today.
