Think you're sang? Not so fast

Greetings all,

This month I shall be writing an article that pertains to the complex simplicity (an oxymoron to some, understood by others) of sanguine feeding and the confusion by those who partake on a not-so- regular basis. One of the keys to Sanguine feeding is based on the individual's reaction to the blood energies.

Basic Sanguine Feeding

Let us start with the basics of sanguine feeding. The donor gets cut, pricked, poked, or otherwise the skin is broken in order to access the blood energies. Please note, I said the blood energies, it's a very important part of this article. The blood itself is NOT what a vampire requires. It is the energies contained within the blood that is what the vampire seeks. The donor is then fed from, and then the wound is cared for. Emotions During Feeding

This is where confusion sets in. An empathic connection to your donor is a necessary and natural part of feeding. The empathic connection allows us to feel when our donor is uncomfortable, in pain, etc. However, this empathic connection can also confuse empathic and psychic vampires, leading them to believe that they are sanguine. Here's the breakdown of the feelings that come from a donor. There is excitement, trepidation, nervousness, for some, sexual arousal, and sometimes even fear. These are all highly charged emotions, which affect the vampire as well. An empathic vampire will get a "high" from these charged energies, and believe them to be from the blood. If you are wondering whether or not you might have this problem, it'll be good for you to ask yourself these questions: Do I feel charged even before a feeding begins? Would I not feel energized if the blood did not come from a donor directly? And finally, when engaging in other activities pertaining to physical consensual pain between myself and my donor do I feel the same kind of charge?

An answer of yes to any of these questions would mean you should re-evaluate your feelings on whether or not your sanguine feeding is out of necessity, or out of entertainment. This may seem a harsh analysis, but here's a rundown for you. Empathic vampirism is not the same as sanguine, a sanguine feeding is a deeper and more lasting, less emotional feed than an empathic feeding. Does this mean you don't feed on sanguine energies same as empathic? No, I'm pretty sure not, however, feeding on energies and needing them are two very different things with two very different outcomes. As always, if you have any questions or comments on this article, please send me an email at demonessbarbie@yahoo.com.

Eternal,
Barbie
