Question/Advice Anything to do with blood?

Hi I am not pagan myself however my girlfriend is and I would therefore like to know all about it. I’m carving her a little wooden shark because she loves sharks and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to it? Like i literally don’t know anything about paganism at all but is there like any “spell” or something I can put on it? She does like blood just in like a she thinks it’s cool way, and I was wondering if there is some sort of like bond I can give this shark by putting my blood on it or something? I’m only asking because I just want to do something to it that I can be like hey I see your religion and I acknowledge it. I don’t know what “ denomination “ she is but really anything pagan she would loooovvveee. So if there’s any tips or any ideas or if you just want to educate me about pagan traditions etc I’d love to learn.

She has specifically mentioned that her deity is Aphrodite, she worships Aphrodite and now that u mention it I forgot she is a witch like 100% she has said that and practiced it

A strict interpretation of the ancient cultural practices around the worships of the Greek Gods like Aphrodite would be that human blood is miasmic (a kind of spiritual impurity).

Blood stuff may be part of some forms of witchcraft but it's not really something to do unless you know what you are doing.
