The Power of Spittle

I came across a page of superstitions that curtailed bad luck with spitting. I found it interesting and it made me think of how I use Saliva during my rituals. Saliva besides blood and sexual secretions have been used in charging my sigils.

Spit/Saliva is believed to hold a little bit of the essence of the person. With that it is a small (and effective) way of lending itself to magickal works as when you spit the expelled saliva has a sacrificial effect on the work being preformed. So as it is a sacrifice of sorts it holds a greater chance of attracting divine attention, and as we all know the gods favor sacrifice.

Spittle is a good way to go if the magician is too prudish to use blood.
