Question #1

Subject: What am I ?

Comment: I seek help here hoping to find an answer to my question... How can I know if I'm a vampire? I'm not human, I'm not a beast... I don't know what I am, and I am hoping to find some guidance within this vast brotherhood... Thank you for your time: Mike

Greetings Mike:

Hummm..How do we know we are real vampires? Well, we vampires (yup, I'm one) have an actual real NEED for life force energies "prana" that we obtain from sources outside of ourselves.

No NEED, no vampire. As for changes that occur, most folks affected with the vampiric condition seem to start awakening at the onset of puberty. Awakening is a VERY slow thing and happens over a period of a number of years. There is no real sudden "change" but over time we often develop symptoms such as headaches, constant weakness, energy sensitivity that worsens if we do not feed.

If you would like to learn more about vampirism, I suggest reading the various articles and information available on the Vampire Church website at www.vampire-church and in the current and back issues of the monthly Vampire Church on-line Zine. In them you will find a wealth of information about the vampiric condition.

I also invite you to sign up for the pubic e-list hosted by the Vampire Church http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VampireChurch and to attend the public classes held twice weekly (Wednesday and Friday at 9PM EST) on the mIRC Undernet on the #vampiretopics channel.

All of these will give you additional information and help you learn more about and better understand vampirism.

Question #2

Subject: Awakening Empath

Comment: I have only just become aware of being able to feed off of people's emotions. Is there anything I should be particularly aware of? Be cautious of doing of not doing? Please let me know. Also, how does one find out what house or clan one is from?

Greetings Jayne:

Sounds like you are an awakening Empathic vampire. If you are indeed them you need to be cautious. Feeding from the emotions of others can leave you with their feelings. You need to be aware of that and develop shielding, focusing and control so you are not overwhelmed by those emotions.

Several places to start. Located in the recent back issues of our online newszine located at www.vampire-church.com there is a really decent set of articles on psi / empathic vampirism written by fellow Council member, Silver. Located in the January, February, and March 2003 issues, the articles contain a lot of useful info as well as a number of exercises to further develop your psi abilities.

I also invite you to sign-up for the pubic e-list hosted by the Vampire Church http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VampireChurch and to attend the public classes held twice weekly (Wednesday and Friday at 9PM EST) on the mIRC Undernet on the #vampiretopics channel. Download the program at www.mIRC.com - it's easy to set up, and use.

All of these will give you additional information and help you learn more about and better understand your Vampirism.

As for find out what clan or house you belong to - well that is Hollywood stuff. There are a number of groups and organizations such as the Vampire Church, within the vampire community. These are sometimes referred to as Houses. Which you belong is solely up to you. But do know that the Vampire Church is largest of these groups, and one of the most honorable and respected houses.
