Ah, yes. 19. The age when a little boy is just coming into manhood and still knows nothing of the world. Of course one of that age should be critiqued for ridiculing the entirely offhand comments of some less than well-known member. Now without sarcasm: Rumors happen. Just because someone tells you about a rumor doesn't mean they're trying to make you seem unbalanced. It doesn't mean they think you ARE unbalanced. And why would one just say to ignore a vampire rumor? Especially when it is posted on a site dedicated to things of that nature. This is an occult forum, and any comments with that level of "realism" which LadyMorwen showed SHOULD be subject to a bit of ridicule. Now please. Rather than saying that 19 is an awkward age without giving any viable reason, explain to me how I am awkward. Perhaps I am too young and naive to understand.

I'm a monkey with opinions, a self image, a reality tunnel, associative symbology , and some sense of internal and external worth; some like to categorize my overall sense into a general classification such as: normal, eclectic, classic, maybe even eccentric. Sometimes I'm a god, sometimes smaller than an ant, sometimes both, and sometimes nothing at all. The ego certainly does like to talk, the ego likes to think itself immortal, the ego wishes as much at least. Death is inevitable, it will not be cheated and I don't care how many people tell you "I know what happens," Death is not symbolized in our culture because it's supposed to be individualistic. We live and breathe symbols, it's how we identify ourselves and show other monkeys who we are and things we like to do, or think. People like Buddha, Einstein, etc. have made a symbol out of their ideas, something divinely unique. Some monkeys like to follow symbols to the ends of their life, few monkeys make a symbol out of themselves.

Have you ever watched a chimpanzee attack a monkey? They are brutal! They rip, bite, and tear little monkeys to pieces, especially in groups, and then go back to munching twigs and scratching their bottoms. I suspect all primates - including humans - have similar capacity for violent outbursts.
It is well-known that the Nazis were all about using stimulants and other strange practices to create "werewolves" vaguely based on medieval notions of Berserkers. Apparently they believed that drugged and furious people could become frighteningly vicious, and they were probably right. I know of several Native American traditional practitioners who swear that a simple plant-derived drug is the root of "werewolf" behavior.
Temporary bouts of mental illness are not well understood by science, and we continue to learn more about violent ones. I am pretty sure that (apart from animal incidents and pure fiction) we can account for most of what passes for werewolves as an effect of mental derangement of otherwise ordinary people.

The supernatural character of the vampire is what makes it intriguing. It is a sort of evil dead, a devil-man, a ghost with special features. The vampire is all about death being unable to stop evil. Somewhere along the line, probably in the movies, the emblems of the vampire became more recognized than the idea of the thing.
Strange cults do all sorts of things that hardly ever make the news. When it does, it is forgotten a year later. So they drink blood? It's not that abnormal as far as strange cult behavior goes. I remember when a bunch of Arab celebrities were all busted for massive Satanic orgies, and the whole thing was forgotten almost immediately and not even the most hard-core devil worshipers care about it now.
Call me when Andrew Chumbley rises from the grave to deflower your grandchildren: teenage vampire wannabe's are nothing new. The dog turd christmas lights? That's hilarious. Set up some in the yard and post a pic, maybe it will keep vampires off the forum. This post has been edited by Imperial Arts: May 22 2011, 12:58 AM

Anyone know how the vampire and werewolf myths originated? I think it's very interesting.
If memory serves, the traditional legend goes back to Hellenistic mythology. Herodotus, Ovid, Virgil and even Pliny the Elder wrote about people becoming wolves, either permanently or for a set period of time (and then changing back). The term lycan comes from the legend of Lycaon, one such werewolf. More to an occult point, I've heard others' conjecture that vampiric magicians would project from their bodies and assume the shape of wolves (or any other frightening creature) to terrorize their prey, and thus feed on them. But then, there's really no way to prove or disprove this, and it's likely that such magicians were drawing on the foregoing literature if they ever used such a method.

Sosorius, you're correct about the history of the Western version of the myth. Sosorius said: QUOTE More to an occult point, I've heard others' conjecture that vampiric magicians would project from their bodies and assume the shape of wolves (or any other frightening creature) to terrorize their prey, and thus feed on them. But then, there's really no way to prove or disprove this, and it's likely that such magicians were drawing on the foregoing literature if they ever used such a method. You're also correct about the use of fear as a feeding mechanism. Chi is increased by emotion and becomes more open to outside influences. In my experience it's almost common for some persons with a bit of occult training to take chi (energy) from others. It's also extraordinarily stupid, as literally oceans of life energy are available from the environment compared to the small amounts most people have available. As in most thefts, the victim is harmed more than the thief is benefited; personal energy is not usually efficiently used by another. Usually the amount taken is small (not because the "vampire" wishes it that way but because of their incompetence) though sometimes it is serious enough to cause problems. Basically, it is a type of parasitism and except in the cases where the "vampire" has permission (such as removal of negative or static chi) the "vampire" should be treated as such. Effective defense is not shielding, "white light" or emotional rejection (though that can work). Nor is counter attack productive; that sends you into paranoia at every disturbance in chi. Effective defense consists of making the link established by the parasite unsustainable; the simplest way to do this is by establishing a wave of moving chi in the area affected. Technique: if you are sensitive enough to feel the link move your attention back and forth through and beyond the area of the link, feeling as if you were moving your fingers over your skin. You should begin to feel a sensation of "something" moving through your body following your attention (this is chi). Continue this for a few minutes until a wave of chi is felt moving back and forth through the area; in my (repeated) experience though you are doing nothing physically obvious the "vampire" will literally run away from you.

I think that their are almost certainly vampires (or things very close to the legends) now, not necessarily before the films however. The fact is that if you get a whole generation obsessed with the dam things, so much so they start forming groups an cults, they will inevitably start actually succeeding. Their will be lots of disappointments, lots of cut wrists lots of people spending the rest of their days in mental institutes; but their will also be people who actually find the means to do it. Where their is a will... Once a few manage it, their are thousands of people who are more than willing to become part of it, it's sexy and it's got the allure of longevity an power. I personally know quite a few people who would jump at the chance, they are lot fools, they just watch TV.
The whole energy vampirisim has been explored by quite a few people here i'm sure, i had a phase.. an saw that it's got a lot of potential for addictivness with people who have certain things missing in their lives. It's undeniably powerful an when set with an intent to become more like the legends it could easily become a seriously real thing.
The rumor sounds pretty plausible to me, the characature of the vampire is a secretive thing so should this kind of thing start to happen, we won't hear about it until it becomes a serious problem. On top of all that, studying the legends with an understanding of magic makes me feel like their is a certain logic to it to start with; i hate to say it but i think the possibility of 'old' vampires to also be quite high.
