Azazel "The sanguinarians who are disgusting and vile"
You know I read a lot of things most of the time I don’t even post, because it is a waste of time. But you should be very careful what you say little one. You say you have money, power and in influence.
I also like your name Azazel you should change it before you post next time. For Azazel is the chief of the Se'irim, or goat-demons, who haunted the desert and to whom most primitive Semitic (most likely non-Hebrew) tribes offered sacrifices. The Old Testament states that Jeroboam appointed priests for the Se'irim. But Josiah destroyed the places of their worship, as the practices accompanying this worship involved copulation of women with goats.
The Se'irim, or hairy demons as the word itself means, are mentioned in Leviticus 17:7 and 2 Chronicles 11:15 as "goat-demons". Isaiah 34:14 says that the "goat-demons" greet each other among the ruins of Edom along with Lilith and other wild beasts.
But you choose to use a name like that and INSULT someone who drinks blood I really love people like you. I also do not need a lot of money, power or influence... I don’t need a website little one or even a coven to know what I am.... I also do not need the internet... But every once in a great while it is nice to chat with real people.
I do not need an order....
And by the way Azazel my name is James...
Another thing you should know I'm not sanguinarian.
Another thing you should know I don’t type out threats on the internet because it’s just not the way to do things... I’m kind of old fashioned...
Its always good to watch what you say for you never know.... Azazel
And be careful again with the name I wouldn’t want you to invoke the real thing because money, power, and influence will not help you,.. maybe you can go hide in a wiccan salt circle in case you do,... I find people like you so funny, to the point of making me sick. I just felt the need to post, because hey what do most of us have in common is a lot of time to spare.
Hello Anonymous,
I see you picked up on a few things, most would not...
And yes you are exactly correct in your words... Interesting, A warning, Advice, Sadistic, and sarcastic tone.
There are some of us that do not need a mask or a false since of words.
Some of us have traveled many paths and experienced light and dark roads, trying to maintain a balance is the most challenging part. Trying to fit in when you are different and relate to those that are not like you is a very hard task. It leaves you wanting for more.
That is why places like this are formed people reach out for others in the hope that they may also be the same, have the same issues, without really revealing who they are.
I have seen many people like Azazel in my time, trying to tell people what is right and what is wrong. Telling those that are confused, that there is only one true path is very wrong and sometimes can end badly.
Trying to pass judgment, is like a double edged sword... Be careful, you never know when someone will be willing to outright challenge you.
Look at what happened with Cain and Abel...
I can say this there are many paths,... These paths are made up of light and darkness each one has its own secrets that are meant to stay that way. But sometimes you can be in the right place at the right time and things open your eyes for you. Some may wish for death, then at the last minute choose life and then in that moment in time things become clear to a choosing few.... You make a choice the light or dark road. Either way some have the tools already, it’s the will that most lack. If you truly want to find something or be a certain way then seek it out, learn, read, and while you are traveling your path it or they will find you. One other thing no matter what path you choose trying to find your way back because you feel you made a bad choice is also difficult. Once you find what you are looking for it becomes a part of you. This part of you from that day forward can never really be shut off by moving forward it just becomes re-pressed .
James...
Hello all,
I will email you crissy,...
I think you miss understood me Vampyre645 I’m not trying to deter you from anything.
Basically I really don’t know anyone well enough here,.. I was just trying to point you in a general direction.
Being a Wiccan you should know the time and research it takes to prefect your craft.
But you do realize everything you are trying to do is against the Wiccan reed or creed should I say. thee harm none do what thee will,... that includes harming yourself or shedding any type of blood in or out of your circle for personal gain.
The mother goddess and father god may not be willing to listen to you anymore. Are you willing to risk all that for an unknown path.
You think people say bad things about pagans and magic that is used for good and positive things try to practice vampirism, to me vampirism has more well guarded secrets then paganism, paganism is being practiced more openly in this day and age. But there still is a few people who choose to make it hard on kind pagan people and most of the people who make it hard, are those that really don’t even know their own religion to begin with. Well I'll give those people a few thoughts to ponder the bible was written by the winners in history,... not the losers Look at how many things that did not make it into print because of the winners and how it did not benefit them at that given time. It’s sort of like the blind leading the blind. I research and find all these many things interesting.
Let’s look at the book of nod fake right? A made up game, what about Revelations of the Dark Mother the book of Lilith fake right a made up game?
Well research the true facts on caine and Lilith and how Lilith is talked about in the Hebrew bible... Was Lilith really Adams first wife before eve read the fiction and research who they really are. What were they in history what did they do. They say within fiction you can always find out true facts for the most part.
It’s easy for people to say the unknown is fake or not real,... Or say the devil made me do it.
Vampyre645, If you truly know your craft, research and read,.. You will come to find I have pointed you in one of many directions to begin to find what you seek. As you learn on your solitary road keep the things you learn to yourself. May your Mother Goddess and Father God forgive you someday,.. for the day will come when you look to them again maybe not now, but if you have a family someday you make look to them again for inner peace. I know because I struggle with all of it,.. Who or what was I in a past life,.. Sometimes I think I must have been the devils son,.. But deep down I’m too afraid to find out, Why did I live and not die? Why do I feel like the Mother Goddess and Father God do not hear me calls, Even if I know why, When you do get to the end of the path and you find your answers you start to look back and ask yourself How or why did I even go there. You know, I know a lot of people that fall into the dark path, some not by choice others because they think it’s a game or show, and then there are those that are the real thing turned by real evil or invoked its all the same once this happens you are never the same person always wanting more, some feel like they are trapped within themselves, some just plainly go mad, mentally and physically. There are a few that can control their inner demons and use these gifts but are still bound by their own human flesh. Lastly fully submitting mind, body and soul given up all that is or was once you… friends, loved ones, happiness, all that is good. You don’t really hear of those people to much, (I wonder why?) I myself was never really willing to give up everything that made me, me. So here I am with my own issues that I deal with daily and nightly.
I don’t know why I feel a need to talk about this, I usually don’t even post anything I just read a lot. Im sure some nut job will have something to say or someone I know may find this,.. But it’s ok like I said before I don’t wear a mask nor do I fear anyone or thing.
I can’t come right out and tell you what I did to get the result you seek, most are right it is not aloud there are others out there just like me with a few differences I will at least point you to a few places. And answer some general stuff no matter who it makes angry.
Well first thing anonymous, you do not sound stupid, nor do you offend me, the only stupid question is one that never gets asked.
Well one thing I can say is research history, there are also books out there that can answer some of your questions,… You ask are there different types of vampires, what are vampires truly capable of?
Here are some books for you take it however you want:
Konstantinos: Vampires The Occult Truth…
He has been practicing for over 15 years, He’s A Dark Neopagan, that deals with the nocturnal path
Another of his books: Nocturnal Witchcraft Magic after dark….
I will even give you another book that might interest you, maybe even silentjay if he will take the time to read it.
Carol K. Mack And Dinah Mack: A Field Guide to Demons….
Right on the front cover of the book “ A round of applause for this demonic cast of characters! They let us glimpse, in other people’s demons, many of our very own.”
----Anna Deavere Smith, author of Twilight
Well the author of Twilight had good things to say about the book who knows maybe he will read it J
Well, I see the crowd has increased since the last time I have posted considering I have had a lot of other pressing issues to deal with at hand.

“Hey, can I just tell "anonymous".. He is giving out to many 'detailed' covenant informations and must seriously stop this at once.. The elders are growing very agitated at this behaviour of out brother vampire.. Speaking feely to the mortals is strictly prohibited! And if you were a true vampire, you should know this! Besides a true vampire's human body does not age at all, and our fangs purify the victims blood for us, that is why we do not ever contain diseases or infections, be in contact with you all.”
Whoever you are… Most here know me as James… I will answer any question I deem fit.
Second, your quote “The elders are growing very agitated”.
I will say this much I’m lead by no one, Let’s just say I have out grown that topic.
Third, Another quote
anonymous said 4 days ago....
“I do not thank Hayley, but I do appreciate the finding of this individual who posesses such ignorance and disobedience to the Vampire bible!! You are a pathetic resemblence to our race and have very much so let me down.. You should not speak to these mortals about our kind. They do not and will never understand.. I know most ask for answers.. Just ignore them.. We are a race of secrecy.. Don't forget that..”
I know of many bibles, The Vampire Bible being one of them, Don’t quote old testament with me….
Times have changed, people write literature on the topic of vampirism.
Do not insult Hayley, I happen to be pretty open on many topics myself and I enjoy what whoever or whatever has to say. Try listening, not judging people you do not know, you may learn something.
If you just choose to ignore everyone why are you here? This place is not for you! How do you know who is who, I can for sure say you have no clue who or what I am,.. Let alone the knowledge I have to offer to others.
Do you know how many people I pass by on a daily basis that act like you, why don’t you go back to your elders and learn some more before you decide to leave the so called vampiric nest, and go posting on the internet.
TOV_Nick_090592 said 4 days ago....
OMG!! Azael_Lives is very incorrect in wha he says, he believes we worship spiritual beings, sorry to tell you but we most definitely do not. And to consume the blood of a human is not so much forbidden, but is a concept of personal choice. Me, I feed on animals, because there is too much trouble and atention involved in humans. With murder and missings persons units around.. Killing cattle is just as satisfying, believe me. None of you people that claim to be real vampires have no idea.. And as for the vampire index that you all seem to think is published on the net, ur wrong. Yes, maybe there are made up, wanna-be copies, but the text is located in a vampyrist library, aand if you were a real vampire as you claim to be, you would know where it is. And no we don't wear colourful clothes.. We are bound to wear only, black, silver, red, purple, and white (as long as it is with black). If you wanna chat ad me on Msn (yes we modern day vampires have it, its no big deal).. fuller_185@hotmail.com.. Just make sure you tell me you added me because of this blog otherwise I won't know who you are.. And because we are secretive society, I will ignore you if you don't explain yourself..
Now on to you….
Your quote “None of you people that claim to be real vampires have no idea”
I have a lot of idea’s,… Do not insult, or act like your are calling people out on the red carpet….
I’m not bound to wear anything, granted I’m not to colorful… Of course I’m not bound to an elder either, not a topic I care to get into,… But I can say all the reading I have done over the many years I have never heard that one, you come up with that all by yourself?
I try to fit in the best that I can I do have my moments.
Another thing I find funny you say you’re a secretive society, but you’re willing to add anyone that wants to chat with you to a msn account as long as they are a-part of this board.
If you have read any of my other posts above I do not take kind to people who make a bad first impression…
Another thing do not down play my intelligence or insult other people for what they post. Some people truly want to learn and others well let’s say they just come and go. As you can see from some of my above postings.
Your Quote: “Do you follow a vampirist cult?”
You want to talk vampire cults, then pick a topic about them!
How about the act of Turning from the a cult stand point or is that to secretive for you….!
You know some cults feel a vampire can be made into who is, as in ritually turned by invoking, some also say by offering up your own blood to the point of death you can inherit vampire like abilities even take on the appearance, depending on what you are invoking and how the blood is being offered.
Your quote ” OMG!! Azael_Lives is very incorrect in wha he says, he believes we worship spiritual beings, sorry to tell you but we most definitely do not.”
The only thing I can say to that statement is WOW, Do you know how many vampire type cults you just basically told they are full of shit.
I have seen some rituals that would wow even the oldest vampire, the lengths that some people are willing to go to travel a dark path or get what they want still amazes me to this day.
But, here you are shitting on people you do not know, atleast that’s how I take it… Why don’t you prove me wrong, tell me there is only one true way to walk the same dark path And I will tell you, you are full of shit if you think that for even a second because I know you are wrong.
Hayley:
I would say I can agree with you, I also enjoy reading what you have to say as well,.. Must people just come and go, but if you are thinking of leaving please do not.
Your Quote” hello James.. Come out of your shell now have we?.. I would like to challenge your points you stated before.. You say I add people to hotmail.. How else do we talk so privately?.. Huh.. I think id rather speak to someone privately by msn than by board..”
You are the one that said “Just make sure you tell me you added me because of this blog otherwise I won't know who you are.. And because we are secretive society, I will ignore you if you don't explain yourself..”
By talking to someone on a board or people on hotmail, that you just met about vampirism; how is that secretive at all? You don’t even know the person really, that’s why I said that… There is nothing to challenge…!
As far as coming out of my shell, I only responded to what you and anonymous were saying to others.
And unless you were posting as anonymous as well the part about the elders had nothing to do with you, try reading the whole post again.
Now this is your own words….
Your Quote “OMG!! Azael_Lives is very incorrect in wha he says, he believes we worship spiritual beings, sorry to tell you but we most definitely do not”
Now when you refer to “WE” and you say sorry to tell you but WE most definitely do not. Then speak for yourself not others…
I know a few vampire cults that do worship vampire type beings, because of what THEY BELEAVE.
Next your quote:
“ I do not believe any vampire should be in any gathering together.. It doesn't show mateship or anything.. Take a stand.. I create my own path of darkness as I wander on..”
But then say and phrase a question like this…
I'm not holding a tough image at all.. I'm opposing the argument that you aren't discussing in a proper manner.. Do you follow a vampirist cult?
If you do not believe in kinship, covens, gathering together or mate ship of any sort then why try to speak on a topic like that… where everything you type is going to come out being negative. Why would any type of person want to talk to you about that?
Which brings me to my next question… Why post on a message board at all then? In a way this is a place where people go to log on and talk, ask question and hopefully get an intelligent response back. This is also a place where people can be who they choose to be and really not have to worry about the outside world for the most part. I have no problem with you creating your own dark path and wondering on it alone, but do not come here and bash or insult others for what they believe along with any questions they ask because they have a different outlook on things.
I know what it is like to be alone in your own dark world, with the only thing to keep you company is the thoughts that run through your head. I know what it is like to be judged by others for not fitting in or conforming to your surroundings. That is why I try to blend into to the here and now, but when the sun goes down then that’s a different story. Those that poke and make fun step outside into the night and begin to wonder what is out there, that gives them those odd feelings or cold chills and sometimes those people happen to end up in the wrong place at the right time and then the real reality begins to set in.
So when you say Take a stand I’ve done all that and then some, That’s why I try to help others along the way that might get lost on their journey down their path no matter what the path maybe, I try to offer a bit of guidance.
No matter who or what you are there is a time and place for everything. That is why most are not opening to talking or answering questions, the best thing that has ever happened to us is the classification of the word fiction.
If you can not feel it, taste it, touch it, see it, hear it, is it really real?
The only answer I get from godly people is well that’s why we have our faith to guide us…
There is no light without darkness… So if the people of the light can have faith why cant others of a different path.
James.
James.
Now with that said if you would like to start off on a different foot and add something or talk about something you have a question on then I’m an open book,.. maybe there is something that can be learned from all this.
Hayley,
Very nice to hear from you again, I also face the same issues… But I will always try to be around it may take me a bit, but some things are slowing down for me, so I can post for the most part.
I came across this blog looking for things on symbols. I just wanted to add to the original poster that many colleges have classes on this, usually in the slavic department, as many can agree that the 'lore' of the ancient vampire origninated in Eastern Europe, though nearly every culture has their versionof some sort of vampiric being, whether psychic or physical.
I am really surprised at how the blog by summoned skull turned into something so different than an answer to the question. It seems like there are so many people simply at an awkward stage in life, and others who are rather knowledgeable in vampirism and paganism. May I pose a question? Why are so many who claim to be vampires a part of the neo-paganism movement? (I say claim because I think that some are just lost, not a knock to the genuine). It just seems that at the heart, these are two different beliefs (and I believe very much that they are real), yet so many are a part of both. I am just curious. It is a sincere question, so I hope I didn't offend anyone.
Hello again Nick, and Hayley...
Nick I think you have made a very good choice. I use to think the same way believe it or not. I’m going to tell you a few personal things about myself that I usually would not even begin to post on an open board but o well. When I first started down that path I was alone and confused I really didn’t understand what was going on. I knew what ritual magic was, from being introduced to paganism at a young age. My friend and I use to practice and follow the wiccan religion it got to the point I took down my bed and would sleep in my ritual area, It was my life I was always reading and learning, I also did ritual every week on the weekends plus honored the god and goddess every full moon along with all the holidays. It worked so well they became a big part of my very being I found such a peace it made me feel like I was meant for great things. It was like I could ask for something and they would hear me and I was never alone. But as I grew in the religion my friend did not and he decided to move on to trivial things instead of working on progressing down the wiccan path. When my friend left it really never seemed to be the same for me anymore. Bad things started to happen and my great balance in life felt like it was being torn down around me. Moving forward a bit down the time line, I started into darker things, invoking anything that would hear me. Not really vampire type beings just anything that was considered dark or evil according to the Christian religion. Sometime pasted maybe a year or so and then I started seeing a lot of weird and crazy stuff at night even when I went out with friends just to hang out like if we would go hang out at the park after hours. A few of my friends started to think I was crazy, but then stuff started getting stronger like to the point that my friends would see some of the same things to the point that it started to scare them so some of them stopped hanging out with me, I had a few of them stick by me, but you know how that go’s. As I kept going on things just kept getting darker I became dark, I hated people, I hated the light, but I dreaded the nightfall for things seem to just torture me at night even when I tried to sleep. If you are wondering where my parents were, I had a mom no dad in the picture so she just tried to do the whole mom thing, tried to push her godly wisdom and the bible off on me and when that did not work the next step was doctors and head drugs. Nothing really seemed to help me. So one night I went out by myself because I couldn’t handle any more of the crazy crap and started to look for answers. A lot becomes clear when you travel a dark road with your eyes and ears open, and no one else is around. It’s easy to claim to be something when you are in a group of people or you are doing things just for show. But when it’s just you and your thoughts and you realize you are now what you were looking for, you just can’t turn it off, it’s not a game, it’s not a show, it’s really real, what others think doesn’t even come into play anymore. You have to face it all alone at the end of the day and deal with it. This is another very long reason or statement why I choose to help others or maybe provide a bit of input. So to those that think the dark road is a game or a show, it’s best not to attempt to travel it.
James…
For Nick, to answer the 'not knowing what pagainism is'....well, wicca is a part of paganism the same way that being Methodist or Baptist is part of being Christian.
I see both James and Nick are, or claim to be, knowledgeable in this (well, ou seem knowledgeable enough to me, but I don't know enough to know the difference, so hence claim, as I hate blind followers). But yet you both seem so different, or at least coming to this from different angles or different sides.
so to both of you, I have some questions. Of course, anyone else if you want to answer them.
What, exactly, makes YOU a vampire, vampire-like being, or scholar on the subject (again, not a knock even though it sounds like it...jst curious)?
How 'old' are you, really?
Are you just the balance to the 'light' side of things, or are you truly evil?
If you have this bloodlust, what do you do when some woman gets her period (sorry, I couldn't resist that one...saw it posted somewhere regarding Bella from twilight)?
What are your chances for ever 'mating' and having normal kids? Would you pass this on to your kids or would they also have to be 'chosen' (as Nick said about being chosen few). Vampires are stereotypically HOT lovers, but no one ever talks about biological kids of vampires.
I noticed someone in an earlier post was writing a book. I'm not asking these questions for that reason. I am genuinely curious.
Do either of you think that a psychic vampire exists and if so are they the same, similar, or different than you?
Have either of you 'turned' someone? If you can turn someone, doesn't that contradict the idea of being chosen?
Miz3rycordia,
Well it’s kind of hard to say yes or no to the question you are asking are you a vampire or not. Because I know some that enjoy blood as in the taste of it, they hate sun light and considered themselves night owls, they stay up all night even work the night shift, and sleep during the day. About the anxiety, they are also high strung, as in have a hard time sitting still, they always have to be on the move.
But, in your case, feeling different and having a want for something that you just can’t seem to satisfy along with urges to bite things is a different story all together. Also having heightened scenes is another odd factory, but there are some people that are above the norm when it comes to that.
From what you told me here I will try to point you in a direction that may or may not help. But if you get time to tell me the rest of your issue or maybe a bit more input, the better I may be able to aid in answering your question.
Your Quote: “whether or not I have vampiric blood in me” Honestly I can say there is three ways I will generally mention. The first way is being turned by another and you would know if you were. The second being born into the blood line, even if not being born directly into the blood line we all inherit things from our descendants so maybe trace your family tree and find out if you had any people in your family that were considered to be a bit odd if you know what I mean. The third is by invoking, calling on beings that for the most part should not be called upon unless you are very strong willed and well grounded in ritual type background. Even then things can still go very wrong.
Now when you get the odd feelings and anxiety during the night try cooking yourself up a rare steak, don’t move right into the whole blood ordeal because there is a lot of issues with that. Eat the steak and find a quite place and shut your eyes, maybe even do a bit of meditation. See if the anxiety passes in about 20mins or so. Learning control is the first step to peace, for you and maybe even your family if this is also affecting your home life.
If this solution happens to work for you, then maybe we should do a bit more exploring.
Thank you for the chance to help…
James.
Hello Nick,
To answer your question paganism is a very big topic, and you can go in many directions with it. Think of paganism in a way, as a big tree with many branches and Wicca being one of those branches that stems from it. Paganism for the most part encompasses many religions. I for one have just always associated the two together. In away nick it is good to stick to one path, but keeping in mind it is also good to learn of others because it makes you a well rounded person with a good bit of knowledge to offer others. When people stick to one path they are less like to end up taken two steps forward on that path and five backwards if you know what I mean. I for one never stop learning, every day and night there is some new lesson to be learned. The only thing you have to do is keep your ears and eyes open and if your are like me practice keep your mouth shut J
James…
Hello Neph,
To your post earlier, about needing and wanting I just thought I should say I could not agree more.
James...
Hello Anonymous
You know in all the years of people asking question I never had anyone ask that. I also am not sure how I should take that question or even spending the time to answer you.
James…
Hello Angel~of~the~Light,
I see you have a few questions…
Your Quote: “What, exactly, makes YOU a vampire, vampire-like being, or scholar on the subject (again, not a knock even though it sounds like it...jst curious)?”
Well Angel, I never really had someone truly ask me what makes me, me or even how I define myself. A lot of the typical answers you would get from most people would be I need and love blood, I hate sun light, I love or need the night.. ect.. But I really do not define myself that way. I look at myself as a person that has traveled many walks of life starting at a very young age. These paths have been both light and dark and for the most part are dark. I have needs and wants just like any other person I try to be as real with people as possible, just because there is so much garbage out there in the world and on the internet to sift through. A lot of people put on a show or do things that can hurt themselves because they truly are not who they claim to be and I can guarantee you it will catch up to them. In a-way I am a product of how I lived my life and karma has a way of repaying you, some of it good and some of it being very bad. It’s like having an inner battle with yourself that you can never win, am I evil or am I good, or maybe I’m just what ignorant people say, I’m just confused, there is no such thing and it’s all in your head. But one thing I can say to you is when night falls I’m whole, the only thing you have to do is let go, and for the true ones out there they know what I mean. As far as being a scholar I never claim to know everything, those that say they do, stop what you are doing and walk away from them because that is the first clue, they are bad news.
Your next Question: “How 'old' are you, really?Are you just the balance to the 'light' side of things, or are you truly evil?If you have this bloodlust, what do you do when some woman gets her period (sorry, I couldn't resist that one...saw it posted somewhere regarding Bella from twilight)?”
You ask how old I am, in the terms of people I’ m 28 years of age. As far as anything else let’s just say I’m wise for my age….
Your next Question: “Are you just the balance to the 'light' side of things, or are you truly evil?”
As I stated above, I battle with that concept every day and night, the only thing else I can add to that is I battle to control my urges at night and the things that sometimes runs through my head. But don’t we all have some sort of crosses to bare no matter who we are.
Your next Question: “If you have this bloodlust, what do you do when some woman gets her period.”
The only thing I can say to that is wow, don’t hold back anything from us LOL….
As far as blood lust, that is a tough one because that’s more of a case by case thing, some it’s site, others it maybe just the smell… Being I’ve learned to control a lot of different things my weakness is the taste. When I taste blood it’s hard for me to contain myself. There are other factors that come into play as well, like how long has it been from the last time you had any blood for example. If you didn’t eat for two days and someone put your favorite meal in-front of you, how would you act at the dinner table, would you act all reserved, I think not… : )
Your next Question: “What are your chances for ever 'mating' and having normal kids? Would you pass this on to your kids or would they also have to be 'chosen' (as Nick said about being chosen few). Vampires are stereotypically HOT lovers, but no one ever talks about biological kids of vampires.”
Setting a lot of the fake garbage aside, when it comes to vampires this is an easy question to answer, the answer is yes you can pass it on to your kids, When a child is born does he or she not take on features and aspects of the mother and father? The child can have some if not all the traits of a vampire.
Your next Question: “Do either of you think that a psychic vampire exists and if so are they the same, similar, or different than you?”
After everything I have been through I’m very opened minded, I personally never met a psychic vampire, I do think they exists, I have also read stories on them. They feed off your bodies energy to survive, some feed by a touch in passing, other don’t even need to touch you at all.
Your final Question: Have either of you 'turned' someone? If you can turn someone, doesn't that contradict the idea of being chosen?
Being it is now 7am I’m going to keep this short, but if you want a bit more information it will have to wait until tomorrow night.
Have I ever turned anyone, the answer is yes, and it’s been more than one. Does it contradict the idea of being chosen, to me I say no because I’m the one doing the picking LOL… Just thought that was a fun question to ask you have to see it from my stand point, I’m not tring to make you mad or belittle the question.
Thanks for your questions hoped that has help somewhat…
James…..
Nick,
TOV..isn't that from that vampire game? Just wondered if it was a real clan thing or just a cool name...
Anyways, you claimed to not know anything of paganism but respected wiccan ways...I added to that by answering that Wicca and paganism are like being both Methodist and Christian. And you erred greatly in your definition. Please, when defining things, look them up if you are unsure. And it is very relevant, as many have posted mentioning it or asking about it. I guess it is just another one of those 'bends' in the topic we like so much. Anyways, paganism does not constitute non belief and had nothing to do with atheism (maybe some were taught that in church?). Depending on who you are or what part of the world you live in, paganism is either everything that pre-dates christianity except Judaism OR anything outside christianity OR anything outside your five major world religions. Greco-Roman religions are the major starting points for most to begin understanding this. Yes at one time, those pantheons were very much worshipped. Actually, Christians were considered the atheists because they did not worship the god of the state. Atheism was tantamount to treason and punishable by death. And Atheism means wthout god. You can say you believe in something all you want, but if you don't actually believe, you are without god. But you are correct in saying that they are very different. One thing about stanism...it isn't the worship of Satan, Lucifer, the Adversary, any of that. it is actually the worship of the self as the center of the universe.
But nick you blew my mind in the post to james! You said you don't know about it, then you answer definitively about what it is....hmmm, then you also tr to define wicca. Look at it this way. (And YES listen to me, I am the near-scholar on this subject, quite literally). ... paganism is a religion just like christianity. there are branches of chritianity that have become extint long ago (Monists, Ebionites...). Some are revived, (Gnostics). Christianity has its different denominations...there are 65,000 denominations of Protestant Christianity in the US alone! Christianity also has Western Catholicism, Eastern Catholicism (known as roman, and orthodox), you have conservatives, liberals, C and E's, Cult of Saints, Penacostals, snake handlers, lord I could go on. Every religion has its branches...Hinduism has several branches for each deity, and it has over 1700 deities!. Wicca is a nature religion, many practice solitarily. In all religions you have somewhat of a schism between the 'Great' and 'little' traditions. The Great Tradition is the 'doctrine', dogma, whatever....it is the mainstream. The little tradition is usually how people actually practice or believe, apart from the Great Tradition.
And I think knowing about paganism is very important because I am sure that Vampires existed before Christianity, unless you watch things like John Carpenter's Vampires, or Vampire 2000/3000(?),.....some supposedly think that Cain was the first vampire, but he is actually a fictional character, unless you firmly believe in the Bible, Torah, Pentatuch, White Wolf Productions etc. Some think that Judas of Iscarot was the first vampire. Of course there are beliefs that Judas was actually jesus' chosen one (how the hell are you gonna get a martyred savior if he isn't killed?) if you believe these things, then you are Christian, at least in part. But what happens to the claims of other religions and societies? are they all lies, just because they are pagan and not christian? Are you (gulp) closed minded (god forbid!). What is happening is that there are a lot of high school kids still into the old-style goth scene and this new emo crap isn't cutting it (no pu n intended) for them. They need to rebel. Some aren't rebelling, but have these sensations that they can't explain, so they try to find a way. Some take on the lifestyle of what they want or wish to be (I have run into my share of wannabe vampires, this one fat dude and his skinny friend I'll never forget because they were trying to make fangs and sell them). Some I believe are truly called in this direction, some seek it out, all find themselves in a dark place. Some weren't meant to be there, and grow up into your average human. Some, well, who knows. But for those that talk about elders, and age-old secrets, blood thirsts, get your noses out of the fiction and educate yourselves. For being these great beings, some of you are really stupid, which is a shame because it seems like there are some really smart people on here, as well as some who really need the help they are seeking out on ths board.
And why be immortal without a sex drive....that's no fun....!
James
Thanks for the thorough answers. The whole 'meat' thing poses another question..
is there a difference between human and animal blood bsides taste when feeding? You recommended meat for this person. If she were a real sanguinarian vampire, would that make it all better, at least for a while?
I have studied psychic vampires a small bit while studying spiritual events of the brain. Konstantinos has a very good book on it, I see that you mentioned him in your reading list. I also came across a book by a Lady D that talks a bit about the psychic vampires. They simply feeed off of human energy. Sometimes for the purpose of saving a life, a person can supposedly unwillingly turn into a psychic vampire, giving themselves enough energy to heal.
James and Nick, do either of you think that this relates to vampires as you know them? I didn't mean to leave Hayley out, but her post said that she was busy. Anyone can answer my questions. I am just posing my questions to the two of you because it is your earlier posts that have spawned my questions.
Nick,
I just read over my post to you. it sorta sounds mean, and I in no way have that intention. However, if I catch faults or misgivings, I have a tendancey to point them off. Certainly not a great day here, so I went off on a tangent there. But I felt a need to point out that what you posted was incorrect. I'm interested, though....where did you learn that definition?
I was simply making a point, dear. You spoke of religion as if you knew them, but if you don't, then be careful how you tread with them. You are correct that following vampire rituals is like a religion...it is a religion in a sense, and if it is who you are, truly who you are, then it is nothing to be ashamed of.
If you believe in god and jesus, then do you believe that what you are doing is wrong in any sense? Seriously, just asking.
I looked at your board Nick. Let me throw my age and experience around here....I am much older than you, much more experienced. Please take this piece of advice as you grow into maturity.
You cannot dscuss without debating. In any group of people, there is a difference of opinion. If all opinions were the same, then there would be no need for most people in the world.
Please educate yourself about world religions, do not throw around terms that you don't know how to define. When you do that, it only speaks to how little, not ow much, you know. The myth of the vampire has been around a very long time, and it is always been associated with the religion of the particular society it comes from. Your board ties vampirism and satanism together. Where have you seen that before? They are not the same thing. It sounds that you are just a young, lost kid, looking for somewhere to belong. Maybe you do have this 'calling'. I know that it is real, as someone very close to me is very much a part of this vampire thing (and why I try to seek out as much knowledge as I can....to educate myself). If you are not just some lost kid finding his way in the world, then educate yourself. What background do you have? Where did you learn all of this? Can you answer the original poster's questions regarding symbols? What are your morals and what lines will you not cross (don't answer that for me but for yourself). What beings have you met and do they have names? Do they scare you or do you scare them? I asked the questions I asked of You, James, and others because I want to be able to understand my dear NightDweller better, to not always be an outsider. But I have previously educated myself. From what you portray here, this fiscade, it seems like a teenage stage, not a calling. What I am saying is that if this is the real deal for you, you better shape up and sharpen your tools (your brain). Or maybe vampires are a sincere interest for you and you got lost in the myth and lore. I have done this myself in my studies. It is normal and sometimes simply fascinating. Don't be afraid to simply like something. I wanted to post to your board, but you said on there: no debate. As I said, it is hard to discuss without debate for anyone with half a brain and a quarter of worthwhile opinion. I will be creating my own blog on here shortly regarding religious studies. I invite you to take a look sometime. There are some great books (I have actually read some that James2009 posted, however for different reasons). I can't fully accept that this is just who you are because of the way you portray it. I know that you are just 17, but f this is who you really, truly are (and I'm not in complete doubt), then you need to do more than recite things from Nod. Seek guidance always, because as another poster said, you can never learn too much, or always need to keep learning (maybe that was a different blog I read, I dunno because there are so many posts...).
Keep looking, keep learning. Nothing wrong with bein who you truly are, especially when you figure it out.
Thank you Nick for proving my point. A closed minded teenager who knows everything. I don't care to help you. I came across this board while surfing for symbols. I just wanted to correct the INCORRECT information that you posted. If you are so intelligent, post correct information. And I see you resumed your anonymous position....becasue the same information is incorrect. Maybe you just don't respect me because I called you out on your issues and don't cally myself a vampire. Maybe I need to crave blood and not have a sex drive, and be submissive to your knowldge. I see several posts where you are simply shut down, and gues what, they aren't written by me.
MY ORIGINAL POINT IS THAT THE LEGEND/MYTH OF THE VAMPIRE COMES OUT OF MANY CULTURES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ALIGNED WITH THAT PARTICULAR CULTURE'S RELIGIONS.....can you dispute that oh wise one?
Am I 26, no. Do I surf the web to talk to teens, no. Like I said, I was looking for something specific. Want to know why? Ask in a civil manner. You have divuled so much of yourself that when you are talking about secrets, it just looks like something to gloss over the fact that you don't know anything more than you can find in a game.
I wouldn't even be here now if I weren't waiting for answers from those on here who have much more knowledge than you. I like reading he conversations between Hayley and James, and the SINCERE questions of others, like Vampyre465, Wicca4Life, Mis3ry, Malice...all have good things to say.
I had sincere questions, and I really was interested in your take on it. I guess I'll just have to hang out nad wait for their answers since you cannot do it. I even stopped by your board to post yesterday. I see all you really want to do is debate, not discuss. You only want to show off this supposed superior knowledge you think you have. DOn't explain anything to me, I'm not interested in your muck. I have a friend who plays Masquerade. I'll borrow her books when I think I have a question for you.
You know Nick,
I’ve read a-lot of your stuff and thus far you have come to this board like you were this great being, and every time someone posts and asks a question you say a-lot of negative things or you start your post off with NO OFFENCE even to the point of me having to point out stuff that you have said and how it was wrong of you to say, when I point out these facts you suddenly have a change of heart on how you feel about certain subjects. Now I have shared a few things with you from the start of you posting on here hoping you would get the point.
Just like when you posted this:
“Yes but if she actually likes it James.. You can't mess with peoples free will. She came to us asking for answers not to cured of it.. What if she actually gets a "hit" from staying up all night, the urge and lust for warm blood.. The coldness of the victims skin when ur done with them.. What if.. I'm not opposing your views, I'm merely opening your mind to the possibilities.. What if she doesn't want to be saved.. To be normal.. She just wants to know if her feelings are any clue to being vampiristic.. But along with saying that.. I'm worried about the whole meat issue aswell as the fascination with the phases of the moon.. This is but not a characteric of a vampire but their distinguished ancient enemy.. The Lycenthrope (a.k.a - "Werewolf").. If this is so then it is ur doing james.. Telling this person to try meat.. I am just saying that there is many different ways you can impact a persons status even if u are trying to help.. Just don't help the lost for they might not want help but answers only..”
Where do you come up with this stuff, where do you get off telling me I’m messing with someone’s free will, and where did I say in my post this would cure anything I said it may help and if it does maybe she should provide us with a little more input. If you knew my thoughts or had experience on the topic you would understand why I suggested what I did. You are right about one thing you can impact a person’s status, and you are starting to really impact mine.
On your board you say not to debate anything, all you have done here is DEBATE from the time you came here. I have also read the Book of NOD, and the DARK Lady. The first thing that stuck out in my mind when I started to read your posts was the TOV in your name I just did not want to say anything at the time because it was not worth commenting on. I could re-post all your posts to others and point out everything again but I’m not going to waste any more of my precious time. Because now it started with me, and has moved onto angel of the light, she is really knowledgeable in her field of study, and you asked about paganism and then challenged my answer to you, I just wanted to provide you with a short answer to your question. So now someone that has a-lot of knowledge about religions in general gives you an answer to your question and there still has to be some sort of issue.
Now you said this to Angel….
“Angel, Then why post stupid questions? If they weren't the ones you wanted answered, why ask them?”
First let me repeat myself there is no stupid questions, Unless you are just being a smart ass and not seeking an answer to your question from the start, like the bit about black vampires.
You pick and choose what questions to answers which is fine, but if you don’t know something then research it and then post.
Another thing, this board is not just about you, but it seems like it is turning into that and you have managed to piss off more than one person thus far.
You said…
I know I am very self centered but I see no other way.
You are correct about being self centered
You have your own board, why not go be self centered there. But the only person that has posted on it has been Angel I’m sure she was just being kind, how many people you think are going to be willing to listen to you or even hang around with how you act… You say you are a vampire and you are knowledgeable then start acting like it. I have read a-lot of boards that deal with vampires and I will be dammed again LOL, if this one ends like those, I like the people here, and can handle the fly by night jackasses. SO I’M TELLING YOU JUST DON’T.
James…..
Dude, I asked if I missed it. You could have simly pointed it out. And I am a woman. Can you give the history of why those things are related to vampirism?
Chompy..that was addressed to Nick because he is condecending in the way he speaks to most people. Hell, he's been shut down by many, yet he singles me out because I simply wanted to correct a piece of information that he was incorrect on. He can't get past that point. That is why I started my own blog regarding the same questions...because the only one here who answered mine was James2009. In your information (sorry, I teach this stuff), how do you mean to define witches and witchery? In the basic definition of the word, you are wrong, but in the abstract you are right. I really don't care what someone's personal belief is, nor do I care to 'save' people (not my job). I chose my line of work because I want to know more, however, I will correct what I see as incorrect, especially in a forum where people are seeking information.
Your definitions on religion. They were incorrect. Since others were seeking the info, I corrected it and you have been on my ass ever since.
You stated:
Yes indeed I know very well what the Wiccan beliefs are and I respect that but do not follow that to a certain point.. Could you explain to me what paganism is.. I do not follow any other concept of beliefs except Vamirism.. Sorry but I do not know of paganism
Then:
Back to Paganism.. is not paganism the practice of 'non-believers' therefore isn't it the exact same as Athiests?
Then:
James, No offence but I have no interest what's so over on Paganism.. Although I know its the practice of 'non-believers'.. But I think that athiests, paganism, wicca and satanism and vampirism are all completely different.. You say Wicca comes under a branch of paganism.. Then why is paganism represent non believer and In Wicca you believe in spells, enchantment (wizardology pretty much)(the practice of witchcraft and potions and shit).. Why is this all related when they refer to so many different meanings and beliefs?..
Then:
I still do not get the whole concept of religions for I don't follow Christianity, paganism, satanism or any of the like.. Although I've had a particular interest in vampirism as a religion but have gained little knowledge of it.. I believe in my own kind of religion.. Yes I believe there is a god and his son jesus and yet I believe there is the devil, satan and his son. I believe in sacred rituals I have yet discovered.. I beleieve in sacrificial bloodletting as well as particular recitation from sacred texts.. Is this not all religion is.. I'm sorry but can you not see that I have very little knowledge of religions as such but can you see why I do not.. I was not born into a religious family.. But what I am doing is the most religious I can get.. I believe I am vampire as do I practice vampiristic rituals and such.. As a fellow christian believes they are a follower of their religion and likewise do particular acts and readings from "the bible" or torah or such.. In this case I believe what I believe in is my own personal religion is it not?
Of course you are correct in saying that it is your own religion, but you gave definitions that were wrong.
And another thing, im going to have the admin verify a few ip address of the last few post to tell me if they are the same because they sure sound like the same person to me...
And if they are for sure you will be banned, by MAC address and you may also loose your soul cast account....
Neph..
I think anyone who posted should heed what you said. Wise words.
Thank you Hayley and Neph for being tactful.
Hayley no need to appologise for anyone...running into criticism is what brought me to this place in life in the first place.
To all, I have qustions up. For those who have knowledge on the topic, I hope that you will stop by once in a while to give your input. For those who have questions, honest questions, sincere concerns, or whatever (as James2009 said, there are no dumb questions....silly maybe, but not dumb), hopefully, it will be a place you can find answers or connect with someone who can help.
Thanks again all!
Hello to all that mater…..
Thank you all for the kind words, instead of worrying about dumb stuff, and emptying my email box every day I got a nice email from Angel, she is kind enough to welcome me to her board Real Vampires.
She said she would block all stupid people and delete their posts… So I will start to post there for sure…
I hope all of you that truly matter will come to her board because that is where I will be…
I see Hayley is all ready there…
Chompy, Neph, and to all others that have posted here I hope to see you there I’m looking forward to talking with you all again.
Your Friend,
James……
