Sanguine Vampirism: What It Is, and Isn't
A sanguine vampire is described as a vampire who takes from
blood
energies. It is important to remember that blood is the vessel
by
which we get life energies.
Many are under the misconception that blood vampirism is about the
taste
of blood, or the consumption of blood, etc. This is not the case,
even
moreso, there is the misconception that a desire for the way blood
looks and
feels. With alot of blood fetishism out there, it is not
uncommon to run into
quite a few people who believe that a sexual attraction
for blood and
consumption of it while in a sexual situation in which there
is no energy
exchange is real vampirism. That is wrong, as there is no
energy exchange,
then it is just something you do for sexual gratification.
Another common situation, is when there are those who believe that
dead
blood (I refer to it as dead, because it has been away from the body of
the
person, animal for a long period of time) will give them life
energies.
I do not believe this is so, most who eat rare steaks, drink cooked
blood,
don't understand that most of it has been frozen, processed, and had
the
life force sucked right out of it. It is my belief that only blood
taken
fresh from the source (something/one alive) will have the energies in
it
that you need. And it must be consumed at the time that it is
extracted
otherwise, you lose the life energies contained within.
Something as well that alot of people don't understand, is that it is
a
need rather than just preferance of taste, or what have you. Something
that
you enjoy. And as anyone who has read through the VC site knows, that
is
not real vampirism.
Sanguine vampirism is not about how much blood you take, how much you
like
the taste, or how often you feed. It's not about blood fetishism,
or
drinking blood merely for pleasure, sexual or otherwise, and it isn't
about
people who like to cut themselves for psychological reasons.
It is based on real needs, and the blood is just a container, because
the
need is not for the blood, but for the energies contained within. Hope
you
have found this article to be informative.
