Herbs, I'm looking for a herb... Options

We can use herbs for, and in the place of many things.

I'm looking for a herb that has anti-coagulant effect. Could someone help me?

I rarely work with blood but if I had alot of writing that needed blood as a medium I could go down to a gardening supply and get a bag of dried blood (used as a fertilizer). Now this will be cow, pig or sheep blood from a slaughter house so I have no idea what kind of energy signature will exist (not much but test it!) The use of dried blood is handy in that the clotting factors have been triggered so it can't happen again. Mix water with the blood to the right consistancy and add a drop of ammonia (to keep it flowing) and viola!, fairly cheap, real blood, ink! I'd add a bit of gum arabic to help it adhere to the paper upon drying. Just my 2 cents worth! Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The idea of using blood in rune painting is to bind them to you personally, so that they have a connection to the one using you. I.E., using blood of anything but the magician wouldn't be as effective. Good idea on the gum arabic ingredient, though:)
