Any info helps a lot! Thanks,

The fact that blood is involved. Real blood.

in short ArmyWolfDead gave rather precise answer but there are quite a few differences more like for example level of preparation for it must be a lot higher because there will be quite an amount of extra energy left loose and that energy serves as an ancor for just about anything that egzists in spiritual plain and can allow them some influence in our realm as well.

Thanks. I did some research on the subject but I felt it would be better to ask real people. :)

This thread has been moved to Misc Topics from Welcome.

Blood magic is the binding of the life
forces

And the misconception exists that one must offer a lot. This is ridiculous
and dangerous! Usually, only a drop or 2 is sufficient. If one comes in
contact with a spirit that demands more, this is a red flag indeed! I know
with rune work, a female can use the blood associated with her menses
to annoint her runes, but that is a natural flow. Blood-letting in excessive
amounts is dangerous, as it opens one up to infection, diseases, and even
conditions such as anemia, which can be fatal.

I had a question on this subject also. Does anyone know what gives blood its properties? from what I know it seems that blood serves as a sort of signature and offering in rituals and in spells its the source of the power but does anyone know why? Is it because blood is life and life is the power? or is there a more ancient reason or even both

Blood is YOU. That is it's properties. Everything you are is in your blood.
In essence and practise, you are offering up your very life force. That makes it, along with other seminal fluids, powerful when used in spells and rituals, to
annoint runes, seals and the like.

Properties of Blood magic and the idea behind it is that blood contains your life(some may even say that trough blood you actually offer yourself for alliance) therefore during ritual it will gather large amounts of energy over what you already used therefor increasing potential of magick cast itself
