Comment: HOW DO YOU FEED OFF EARTH
Greetings Marcus:
Good question. Feeding for elemental earth energies can be quite a wonderful experience. It leaves you feeling refreshed and attuned in a unique way. If you are sensitive to such energies I highly recommend it.
The one most accessible of the earth energies is wind. Start there. Choose a day when there is a constant wind, constant but not strong. Find a spot where you can focus and will not be disturbed. This can be done standing or sitting, whatever you are comfortable with, it does not matter.
Take few moments to focus yourself, clear your mind and only concentrate on the wind. Now feel the wind on your face & skin, feel it in your hair. Next smell it and taste it. Each passing moment will bring with it different smells & tastes from its travels. Still feeling, tasting & smelling, let go and feel yourself floating in the wind. Experience a free floating / falling sensation. Now you are ready to feed. As you feel yourself floating open up - become the wind. Doing so also allows the wind to become you. Allow it to pass through you on ALL levels. Once you and the wind have become one, float and feel its strength, energy & beauty. Now pull back and retain that energy. You will feel refreshed, energized & relaxed on an incredible level. You may also feel a little disconnected or "spacey" for a few moments. Take a few minutes to ground & center and regain your touch with the mundane world.
You can use this same exercise with the other earth elements, (earth, fire, water) and to connect to on an environmental level as well. With practice you will be able to do this on a moments notice so that you can feed from a breeze while walking down the street.

Comment: when the word vampire appear and do you know who is the first vampire and what is the relation between vampire and Christian and is that true about vampires die by holy symbols like wood cross or by holy water or silver
Greetings Mary:
Good questions. The vampires that die by holy symbols, burn in daylight, get a stake through the heart, etc are the "Hollywood" type. While they make great stories, for movies, books, and legends they are not real. We are REAL vampires. I can go out in daylight, wear silver jewelry, and have not even the slightest fear of holy symbols. We are mostly just like other humans. The term vampire is something that we use to describe someone that has the inability of produce enough vital life energy on their own. Vampires need to gather that energy in a form of feeding from outside sources of either a natural of human origin.
I suggest reading the various articles and information available on the Vampire Church website 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.

Comment: I talked to some guy who is a vampire in that he drinks blood. HOWEVER... he says he will die if the sun touches him and he says he is afraid of crosses... BS. And then he goes... "I am 300 years old." Following that I didn't believe him but he showed me all of these ancient clothes and relics. Is this the real deal?
Greetings James:
Huuuummmm how do I phrase this politely? HOGWASH!! That guy is full of a lot of bs. I am a real vampire. At the "old" age of 46 I have no fear of religious objects and daily am out in the sun. (Okay I do wear a lot of sunblock when I garden - but that is because I am blonde and turn red without it). And while some REAL vampires do need blood, it is only for the vital life force energies that are in the blood.
Far too often you find someone that gets caught up in the role-playing / Hollywood vampire myths & legends. It’s very sad when these folks start believing that they are part of that legend. All I can say is that I hope he gets the therapy he needs.
As boring as it may sound, REAL vampires are mostly just like other humans. The term vampire is something that we use to describe someone that has the inability of produce enough vital life energy on their own. Vampires need to gather in a form of feeding from outside sources of either a natural of human origination.
