The Existence of Vampires in the Modern World

By LupiaSappho Wolf November 12th, 2008 - 06:25 pm PT

Vampires have pervaded human myth and mystery. But is the true power of the vampire that the vampire is no myth at all? I have been involved with the real vampire community since 1985.

My "awakening", as it were, happened on August 6, 1985--the fortieth anniversary of the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima. Actually, that was the day when months of self-examination and reflection crystallized for me. I was not yet 14 years old. I hadn't known the words "empathic" or "psionic" and consequently could not have used them to describe what I had been experiencing. I knew I was living with a different and heightened set of senses, and that the whole of me hungered and yearned for something I couldn't identify.

The World of Vampires

I had come into the sphere of the Order of Maidenfear, a vampire sanctuary, months before through initiated friends that seemed to really understand what I was experiencing. On that day, the puzzle pieces of my thoughts clicked into place. I too was a vampire. I decided that I would never deny that aspect of me--in fact, I could never deny it. I would embrace vampirism and my existence as a vampire.

There exists an entity of living energy all around us and in the universe. I mean that this energy is both alive itself and imbues all things with life of one degree or another. A vampire is an adept at energy play, an adept at tapping into this living energy for self-benefit. For some this is achieved through drinking blood, for others it is a matter of psychic living energy. A vampire knows how to take what energy they want and need and use it for their own purposes.

I believe we as vampires are at an exciting time in our history. At no other point in the history of the world have circumstances been so ripe for us to fully express ourselves and be true to what we are. My commitment to the vampire community is to help us achieve our greatest potential.

A League of Vampires

In the 1960's, there was a woman here in Philadelphia who was taking a second, third, and fourth look at the idea of the vampire. We all knew her as Anne de Molay. Her theory was that it wasn't the blood that vampires needed, but rather what was IN the blood--living energy, which she called prana.

In an era of horror film schlock, Anne investigated the archetype of the vampire and came to the conclusion that vampirism was a very real interaction with life energy that could benefit the practitioner. Having shared her vision, Anne was able to form a group of like minds and established the Order of Maidenfear in 1966.

Why "Maidenfear"? Why use a word with no obvious associations with vampirism to communicate the Order's existence to the world? Anne wrote, "I came upon this term, and for some reason it struck me deep, it resonated within me. What a perfect concept, the nervous excitement of fear and desire captured in a single word. For me, this word was so replete with energy itself that I could see nothing else but to apply it in my own form of vampirism."

Hello georgia ,
what i've read in all the articles about if a human can be changed into a vampire , isn't that simple and easy as u've stated......... its painful and u got to die too.....the process is traumatic in which some survive & some don't .
i'm not trying to that it can't be done ur way , maybe u can do that way ,but as far as i'm concerned its not that simple,

love , happiness & smile to u,

rashmi

I don't know if I'm writing for nothing, since you don't answer, but I'd like to make the topic deeper... I'm not interested in being transformed, I'm interested in your life.

If you could turn me into one, that would be a blessing. I don't know all there's to know about vampires, but there's certainly a deep rooted interest in me to be different.

I'd like to be turned. As long as I don't get fried in the morning, I'd love to experience the feeling of being a REAL Vampire.

Hi, I'm from the United States, I have 17 years. I am a Vampire
Unfortunately they could not become vampires so easy. We can try
The proscesso is great, one would have to do first is an act of ritual witch our race came from their power, there will have to be served by the blood of a vampire, then you have to put that fire in your blood means you're burning your old be, and leaving only the vampire blood in your body after that try to feel the spirit of the witch can not more candles
know they are there, try convencelas giving something in return. The ritual
and the exchange of blood was only the beginning. Who ever wants to talk more about it
just add on msn: nando-de-morais@live.com
