I thought blood & magic was usually considered BAD....

I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad?"
--- End quote ---
Generally speaking you don't want to perform blood magic because its not something you want to do a whim. But because Wicca is a practice filled with symbolism, blood is sometimes avoided because of the darker symbolism; death, battle. Then again, blood can also symbolise life and can be used in certain rituals can provide power. If blood is used in any ritual, its usually extracted with a lancet, the kind used for blood sugar testing.

You know, the difference between belief and religion is the number of people who follow it. For example, Christianity has built up a religion around the idea that a man died and came back to life. And such a notion might sound ridiculous to an outsider.
So, just a friendly reminder that you're walking a very thin line.
