Heya guys, hoping you can help me out.
Me and my Girl want to wear each others blood in a vial but we have no idea how to go about it, we have the vials, we just need the actual steps of extracting the blood and other important info like how to stop the blood rotting e.t.c.

Any guidance would be great.
Cheers.

I was also wondering what the safest or most effective way of extracting blood would be

any help would be awesome

Don't use any knives if you are not experienced or are not versed in human anatomy. Also I wouldn't recommend needles.

Puting it simple: get a lancet. It's sterile, does minor tissue damage and are very easy to buy and cheap.

Just as a side note, know that your blood will soon loose it's vital energy after getting out of your subtle and physical system. Energy simply dissipates. If you want an intimate energy connection, simply forge an energy link if you are used to manipulate energy.

But, if the vial necklace were kept close to the body, well within the boundaries of the caster's aura, it should be possible to prevent that vital energy from leaking away. Perhaps it would require a spell, some special dedication of the vial itself. I believe that this is what the original poster was asking for, some method to magically prepare a vial to hold living blood in its energized state.
I have never heard of any such, and I don't have any way to say how hard it would be to make something up for that purpose.

If the vial is kept close to the body it will become infused with the energy from the owner of the vial, not the energy from the blood's owner, which was the goal I guess.

There are indeed some spells, like stated, to keep the vial, or any other amulet, bounded to the life force of its creator. Basically they are all related with magick fueled by Will. However, there will never be "living blood". The blood will always be dead after a while. Magick does not keep it alive.

It is a common misconception about vampirism. Real living vampires always ingest living blood, directly from its donor. They don't conserve the blood in any way. That idea of keeping blood in a fridge or walking around with a blood bottle, and carving for it, it's simply fantasy. Some vampire-lifestyle fans or blood fetishists might enjoy that, but not real vampires. Vampirism is metaphysical, they don't carve for blood, they carve for vital energy... blood is just a vessel, if it doesn't contain much energy, it's not of a very good use for a vampire.

WingedAngel, I think that the proviso "..so far as I know" would be appropriate for your post. Unless you are ready to tell me that you know everything about vampires, and that there is no possibility that there is anything on the subject that you don't know?
By many standards, there are more than a couple kinds of vampires, and they are not a simple subject. Can we maintain the possibility that there are some aspects that you cannot speak upon with full authority?
Or, there could be preservation spells for the vial necklace that you are not aware of, perhaps some that truly would keep the original vital force from slipping away. That may be a possibility as well, I believe.

We try to maintain open minds around here, and allow all possibilities. The flip side of that is that you need also to allow that somebody else's truth may have validity, as well as your own. After all, this section is for discussion, and that does not thrive in an environment of absolutes.

Thank you for your contributions and your consideration.

There sure are things about vampirism that I don't know. I am not that egocentric, nor was that the idea of my post. I was trying to inform upon request for help and counsel, not to make my truth a worldwide acceptable one.

Despite studying vampirism for many years, the information I provide you was not based purely on vampirism, but on metaphysical concepts and energy work at which I have a quite extensive training. You can delay the energy dissipation from a vessel filled with blood, or you can keep it energized by using YOUR OWN energy, and not the donor's. While all this might seem complicated, it works under a subtle system nor as complex as it might look. But then again, I am just trying to inform, because I think it might be helpful to the people wanting this information... not trying to make my statement out of everyone else's beliefs. I don't base myself on belief, but on practice and experience. Hope this helped.

I have a glass pot of all my donors blood and I use it for Scrying. I don't think it looses it Prana. Although I will change it monthly.
Blood . . . a metaphor? A phyical symbol? A Metaphysical window?

I would too like to know how to store it and stop it going off i had a vial but the blood went into a not nice looking color and it was like jelly no longer runny.

Any ideas you would need an oxygen free zone to stop the effects on the blood i am guessing but how to do it.

Blood stored in a vile around your neck would begin to turn rancid in a very short time, within as little as two hours microorganisms will begin to destroy the sample. Even blood stored under optimum conditions only lasts 4 - 6 weeks, unless of course you have access to cryo freezing. If the two of you wish to wear this blood simply as a sign of devotion then you would be better off to dry the sample and keep the dried blood in a airtight container. I know … not nearly as romantic but it would be your best alternative. I am not sure if a Vacutainer type storage tube would do much to solve the storage preservation issues but again the storage time would still be minimal.

As for the extraction process, a lancet would get you a few drops per puncture but it would be a rather drawn out and uncomfortable way to fill a vile. ~smiles~

Idealy, you should go to a doctor or a medical clininc of some sort. They can put anticoagulants in your sample that will keep it looking like blood and from clotting up and going all disgusting.
I've also looked into such things with a few people, but haven't actually gone as far as to go through with it.

As for the energy aspect... I really can't tell you much. Dhamien might be able to, but he's disapeared from the boards and hell only knows when he'll be back.

If it's just the romantic idea of having eachother's blood, a doctor or physician would really be the way that I would do it.
