| rdfs:comment | - The Goblet of Blood is a chalice used as a common form of communication between demons and their allies such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but is not limited to them. The angels can use it as well, but grudgingly and only as a last resort. It is one of the many items featured in the Supernatural television series.
- The goblet requires blood from a human, although it is later revealed that dog blood could be used as well. This is usually procured fresh, most commonly from the slit throat of a victim. Once the goblet is filled with blood, the user recites a Latin incantation, "Tire quiero patem me a di" and stirs the blood. The contents of the goblet then lights up and/or bubbles, indicating the goblet is ready for use. The goblet is sometimes depicted with a matching knife of similar design and color. However, it has been shown that the blood does not necessarily need to be spilled by use of a special knife.

However, it has been shown that the blood does not necessarily need to be spilled by use of a special knife. This method of communication is very effective and appears infallible. It can work over large distances, and even through different dimensions, such as from Earth to Hell. As a magical object, it still functions even when used on an alternate reality where magic does not exist or is not usually usable. Talking to Pestilence appeared to require a chant dedicated to the horseman. Brady used the following incantation, "Dis manibus praest praesens obtine mihi dominum. Pestilentiarum omnimum. A fly emerged from the goblet once the incantation was recited, indicating Pestilence answered the call. After partaking in an orgy in a new body, and killing the three other participants with a crowbar, Crowley used their blood to contact his demons to pick him up, and check on his usual vessel.
