Understanding Vampirism
by Damien Daville, Vampire Church
Vampirism is both a state of being and a life path not a
choice, and is then based on both need and ability. True
vampires have energy needs unlike most humans and the ability to
utilize that energy for health. A vampire's energy needs range
from the pranic or dense form such as that found in blood and
sex, to psychic/empathic energy found in the emotions and mental
energies, to the environment such as the energy of storms. While
these are all sources of energy for the true vampire, one or more
may be used. Vampirism is with a person when born and so one must
awaken to it or recognize it in the life ahead. All true vamps
have their own time line in their awakening and the development
of any abilities. Some vamps know of their energy needs early in
life and some later.
One of the typical myths of the film industry is to become a
vamp by a "bite" or this "blood transfer". That is, one cannot
be made a vampire by way of being "embraced", or "turned" or
"made". Blood is energy for the energy feeder. Blood contains
many compounds and easily will make anyone to vomit when
ingested too much. All vampires who are energy feeders of blood
have their own levels of need and tolerance. The film industry
and the media cause enough problems for us by what is published
and seen. True vampires find they fight the mentality that so
many have of them because of the movies and books made. Most
vampires have a sensitivity to sunlight, but that does not
exclude them from being in it. Sunglasses and covering up
usually are sufficient.
It is important to understand that a vampire's health is
directly related to the availability of these energy sources.
One can easily feel weak, lethargic, and suffer from headaches
and depression if not able to access the energy sources needed.
There is no giving up who you are in this life of vampirism.
Understanding vampirism is knowing about the true needs of
vampires and how these needs relate to health. Many vampires
struggle to attain the energy sources sought. It is a life of
pursuit and one of health and one not easily understood by most.
There is much misconception and harassment by those who would
push their own morality and dogma upon us. Understanding who we
are is our path to enlightenment.
