Question: I am very much new to the psych vampirism community. I am very much lost as to what to believe is true and what not is. Reading is my best option. Could anyone help me get on the right track and get me going down the right path and where to begin?

Greetings Karl,

You have actually found a great place to begin. The Vampire Church is very rich in resources that can help you. start by doing several things:

Join the public e-list located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VampireChurch/ it will give you a daily insight into the vampire community and the discussion topics will provide you with a wealth of knowledge on living with real vampirism.

Read the Vampire Church website. Here again you will find a wealth of knowledge. Start with a few articles from the back issues of the on-line Zine. I would recommended the Vampirism 101 article – by Belfazaar Ashantison in the May 2003 zine http://www.vampire-church.com/zine11/zinearticle1.html and the series of articles on Empathic and Psi Feeding (parts 1-2-3) starting in the January 2003 Zine http://www.vampire-church.com/zine7/zinearticle3.html

Lastly, I would recommend dropping into the vampirism "classes" hosted 3 times weekly by the Vampire Church. They are an open discussion forum in which problems / solutions – questions & answers are discussed. They are hosted by the Vampire Church Council members. The Classes are also a great way of making some new friends. They are held three times weekly (Wednesday and Friday – 9PM EST / Saturday 4PM EST) on the mIRC Undernet on the #vampiretopics channel. Download the program at www.mIRC.com - it’s easy to setup and use.

Question: What is this so-called "blood vampirism"?

Answer

Greetings Shattered,

Good question. Blood vampirism refers to a sanguinary vampire – meaning one that gains the needed prana / life force energies through the ingestion of blood. Blood feeding vampires (regardless of the Hollywood image) are actually quite rare and most only to feed on a mouthful or two of blood at any one time. Since the energies in the blood are very concentrated, most can then go awhile before needing to feed again.
