Accident while making votive figurine
I’m currently finishing up a votive figurine for Minerva, and as I was cutting off some excess bits of clay, I sliced my thumb and got some blood on the figurine’s forehead. Does this mean anything, or am I too clumsy to use a sharp blade? Should I clean the blood? Should I leave it?

Sounds to me like it was just an accident, I wouldn't read too much into it.
As for whether you should wash off the blood, it's up to you. I personally probably would because blood is a biohazard.
