A depiction of a Blood Witch in The Spook's Bestiary.
This is the most basic of the types of magic practiced by witches. They may progress to the higher levels of bone magic or familiar magic, but all start at this stage and continue to use it from time to time throughout their lives. Blood also often featured in rituals, especially at the time of the four main witches' sabbaths (February, April, August, and October).
