The Origins of the Vampire
The earliest written records describe the ancient Gods as Vampires.
Osiris and Isis of ancient Egypt. Enki and Inanna of ancient Sumer. Rama and Krishna of ancient India. Chang Ling of China. Quetzalcóatl of Mexico.
The ancient records state that the Gods held humans as servants to bring to Them an Elixir of Life in Their Temples. This Elixir, or Lifeforce, often referred to as “ambrosia”, “soma”, “wine”, or “blood”, is now called prana, ch'i or ki.
The Per-em-hru or The Book of Coming Forth By Day (The Egyptian Book of the Dead) described how the Gods would go forth to seek out Lifeforce from the mortal population.
With the collapse of the early priesthoods, Those Who Came Forth to Feed upon humankind
came to be known as Vampires.
Their nightly incursions into the world of men have been shrouded in the imagery of the mythic vampire, the fairy, and in modern times, the alien abduction.
This is now Their only Temple.
