The Psychic Vampire Codex, by Michelle Belanger Options

I'm currently having a look-see with this book... as kindly demonstrated by another metaphysical board online, there's still a lot of flak against psi-vamps, and with good reason. There are still a lot of vamps who randomly take energy from others without consent, but I just learned by reading the book that there are circles of psi-vamps that pick up stragglers, and try to instill them with ethics about how not to act like tards.

But, even after mentioning this, it all gets ignored in favor of frivolous horror stories. 9_9

Well, I'm not here to gripe about message boards... anyway, there's a good deal of ethics in the Codex, but some of what she says seems like bull. But there's a good guide for energy use, and I think she touches on alternate realities. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But I haven't read that far yet... so who's read it, and what do you think?

Hmm...I think that would be a great book to pick up. I have a friend who's a psychic vampire. She's aware of it, but she hasn't actually taught herself how to control herself. So whenever being around her, people end up extremely tired, cranky, irritable and to put it plainly...drained. Of course at this time she's rearing to go. She also has "unethical" ways of draining people. Such as completely attatching herself to someone spiritual, at one point she dumped her boyfriend and moved in with a healer and began to feed off of him. He offered her a room to rent and she took it in a heartbeat. At that point the other person living there became so drained they moved within a month whilst the healer slowly became irritable. He was able to catch on to her though and had her move back home.

She also has attatched herself to "ill adjusted" people who freely give up their will power to her just to have her take control of their lives. She believes she's "saving" people, but in reality she's feeding off of the weak. She made one comment to me though that just sent up red flags. She told me she likes to "collect" people. Such as, finding weak and powerless people to look at her as she's some sort of savior. Of course, saying anything to her is like stepping on a land mine.

Yeah, I'm in quite a predicament now with her..lol. I'm at the point where I've decided to end our friendship (since when my thoughts trail to her I become very angry).

So, if you have any helpful hints out of that book, I'd gladly like some.
