Blood Mixing?

[Evermore]

I'm not sure this counts. But me and my best friend had a big fight like huge. I called her telling her that I didn't want us to not be friends because of it. I asked her what I could do to fix this. She told me to come over. When I was at her house she had a bunch of stuff laid out on her floor. A razor, a tiny bowl, a napkin, some band-aids, and a piece of paper and pen. I was suspicious, but I didn't say anything cause her room's always a mess and there are always random things in her room. She then showed me what she had written on her paper with the pen. I read it. I can't remember word for word. but it basically said that we should be completely honest with each other and we need to show each other that we would die, cry, and lie for each other.
She then took aparty the razor and got one of the blades from it and sliced open her leg and squeezed the blood from her leg into the bowl. She didn't pay her wound any attention even though it was still dripping blood. She then tried to cut me with the other part of the razor. I don't know how she did it even though I protested she convinced me. I guess I just hoped that this would fix everything. But I let her cut me on the leg and pour some of my blood into the same bowl. It didn't hurt that much but it didn't feel good either. She mixed the blood around in the bowl and then she made me rub my wound against hers and recited some poem about blood being the same and a sign of love and something like that.
Then we put band-aids over our legs, cleaned the wounds and everything. She said that I had to go home cause it was late and her mom would be mad if I was here too long. The next day she didn't speak of it at all and was her usual fun to hang around self but I'm still worried. Why did she make me do it? Are there anything that's going to happen to me because of the blood mixing? Is this wrong? Should I tell someone?

Blood mixing could give you aids. +A blood plus -A blood = aids, something like that.

[Bougainvillea]

AIDS is a virus.

What she did was pretty fucked up. I don't know. It seems awkward. I'd talk to her about it.

[Lil D]

no I dont think so

[XxHaViiK]

Yeah. You should tell someone. Immediately. What she did was VERY wrong, and extremely dangerous. Many diseases and viruses can be spread by blood.

[AllThatIsLeft]

Besides it being dangerous.

What that was is a ritual, i hope it's of the white kind. Bounding you together by blood.
You should talk to her, and ask what she's into, if it's Wicca it's not that bad, but if she gets onto Grey magic or Black Magic bad things could happen. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I am a big believer of karma, and the use energy. and if she's into other stuff it could bring her bad karma.
Read up on it and inform yourself.
I don't intend you on believing it, but ask her what is she on about.
Blood rituals shouldn't be taken lightly.

[The Joker]

Dude, if someone does something like this it's usually a type of religious ritual.

Tell somebody who would believe this IMMEDIATELY, and NEVER do this again.

[Asylum]

go talk to her, it sounds like a ritual. i'm wiccan, we do have spells for that sort of thing.. wicca isn't bad or evil .
the rituals hold a major significance, and should never be aken lightly.
if she is into black or grey or dark magic, get her out of that...its not good

Jesus, what the hell do they teach kids these days?

AIDS is a virus, so one of you would have to have it. But mixing blood is dangerous and not a good idea at all.

It sounds like being Blood Brothers. Where the same thing is doine between boys

i'm a pagan, and wicca is a branch from pagan, but it doesn't sound much like white magic. i don't personally do spells or rituals, but i know of them. and as said above, if shes into grey or black magic, she needs to get out of it, bad things can happen, bad bad things.
to me it sounds like grey magic, the ritual was intended to help each other, but done forcefully which is bad, you should definitely talk to her about it.

I don't know anyone who does that anymore. I always thought that was gross and painful.

As to the poster, yeah this isn't a good idea. Thats a one way ticket to disaster with the blood sharing.

[Amyxoxo]

Yea, it does sound like she was trying to be blood brothers. She did mention the she wanted to be "completely honest with each other and we need to show each other that we would die, cry, and lie for each other."
I think you should just ask her why she done it again and then you have to tell your school or someone like that. Its highly unlikely but she may be mentally unstable, like does bad things in bad situations. And you never know ... this may just be the tip of the iceburg she may be doing worse things to herself!
As i said please tell someone, it will be for the best.
Also about mixing the blood it sounds really gross you may want to go and talk to you gp/doctor as it may have implications. :) xx

AIDs is caused by the HIV virus.
The only way the OP could have got HIV is if the friend has it - the same goes for hepatitis and other diseases.

Lanceworren, it is for the above health risks that you need to get checked out by your doctor.
You also need to talk with your friend about why she did it and she should be honest with you.

[Evermore]

But people, she's one of my best friends. I've known her since I was 7. She's never done anything like this before. I've never had reason to believe that she was in to witchcraft. Is it true that I could have gotten AIDS? Cause you guys seem to be contradictrary on that. One person says I could another says I can't. I get the tell someone but who?

If she had HIV or AIDs or any other diseases like that you could now hav then so you should gt checked

[Sapphire]

IF your friend has HIV then you could have it. If she doesn't then you won't have it.

And talk with her about it. You need to understand why she did what she did and she is the only one who can give you the answer.

Nope, not at all. This is not how Aid's is spread.

Good old wikipedia.


Back to the problem at hand. It seems that your friend thought she may have lost you, and wanted to create a connection between the two of you. However, a bond cannot be created through sharing blood, especially when it was uncomfortable for you.

If she is back to her usual self, I think your best bet may be to just forget it, but the next time you argue, it's most likely going to be brought up in conversation next time you have an argument. Your going to have to find a way to deal with your problems when they do arise, because this is not a good way to deal with problems in your relationship, it's only a good way to cause more problems.

Next time she asks, I'd advise you because you feel uncomfortable to flat out say no, it's not how you deal with your problems.

As for any health risks, the amount of blood that was shared between you makes it very unlikely, but it is always a possibility.
