About Barbie
Hello..
I am 24 years old living in the Southernmost tip of Texas, I am a sanguine vampire awakened since the age of 12, or 6th grade.
I am the co-editor of the Vampire Church Newsletter, and have been actively involved with the Vampire Church since August of 2000. I was made council in October of 2001 and have been working with the Newsletter since then. I am the Managing Director of the Texas Vampire Association which is headed by Damien Daville. I began in that role a few months ago and have seen it grow. I do not spend much time in the offline community due to the relative remoteness of where I live however, I do try to keep contact with other vampires in my area.

Hey all,
This is a tough subject, for me especially who needs help
performing even the slightest bit of magick, but, seeing as I've also
gotten this question a bit, I will do my best.
Magick is usually described *to me anyway* as collecting or
manipulating energy to attempt to force your will to achieve a goal,
or whatever the intent may be. This being said, it can also be said
that vampirism is the collection of energy in order to supply
energies which are otherwise not made, or produced in your own body.
Because of this, there are times when magick can be blurred because
of the use of energy to achieve a goal in either way, magickal, or
vampiric.
However, because the goal is not to concentrate the energy at
another person, or to manipulate a situation under which otherwise
you would have no control, makes this even trickier. Yes, I believe
that there is a line there that is rather blurred, and misunderstood
in even its basest form. I have *in my day* attempted to send
energies that I have gathered via sanguine feeding to those whom I
know who might need them, with mixed success. Because of this, it is
my theory that it might have more to do with the ability to assert
your will to achieve a goal through magick than it is to collect for
yourself energies to keep. Keeping in mind that both use energies,
collecting for yourself seems less an act of will than an act of
need. Speaking only on sanguine feeding as that is all I am able to
collect successfully on the energy side, and as most know, my
magickal abilities are pretty much limited to the simplest forms of
what can be considered such...lol.
After all that rambling, I believe that yes, there are times
when the line is blurred, and thinned and maybe even disappears
according to how you use the energies collected, or if you use extra
energies for magick purposes.
Eternal,
Barbie
