Defining a Vampyre © Rev. JP Vanir

[Founding Father J P ChrstVampyr]

I still and will always believe that vampyres unlike humans need energy from other sources because there body does not have enough for what we are. I like you also believe we are spiritually different than humans and that what we are is a spiritual condition. The simple Definition of VAMPYRE is one who needs energy (LIFE FORCE) because our bodies don't have enough for our soul. We take it through the blood (some of the life force or human energy is in the blood) of be the taking of it directly if we are strong enough. Most Vampyres are tired and drained when alone but are usually hyper, often have high anxiety, and feel high and extremely powerful when around large crowds. We may may also take it from animals and nature (as well as music sometimes) but the best source is human since we are also human.

"..the best source is human since we are also human."

I agree with this.

-and I would like to add-


I also think there is a very valid reason why the more we Awaken, the more a good deal of us find ourselves drawing the energy we need from various living things surrounding us.
Within our physical structure, we also contain the ability (..and required parts, just not in the right sequence..) to have been: a tree, a bird, a bug. ..lol.. I don't think it is coincidence.
Our overall "spiritual sanity" requires that we focus on our "current spiritual vehicle" if you will. But I don't think that we are limited to human energy. I kind of see at is the "meat and potatos" on the table.
By all means, if I were to try and survive on the energies of the plantlife around me alone, I would quickly find myself suffering quite a deficit.
However, I do believe those same energies to be a much needed surplus if you will..rather like a vitamin. We can survive without them, but our overall "health" can be vastly improved with a well rounded "diet."

I can't wait to get a copy of the new book. One day I hope to have a collection of works written by you man, that would be so frackin' awesome!

I will be adding my writings to the newsletters once all that is figured out. I do however find myself getting energy from music and this could possibly be from the emotions of the writers of the music? I also get lots of energy from the moon and the night life; possibly from the goddess helping me along...

Perhaps the music attunes you to the surrounding energies, causing you to be better able to draw those "feel good" energies that are attuned with you as an individual? Kind of like an "energy radar" if you will.

Music is a part of so much, up to and including the very nuances that are found existent in nature. It's not a wonder that it would have very powerful effects, especially to those more intune with energy work. Being Vampyres, we have alot more experience with that than most..Even if we do it unconciously sometimes, it's something we do for survival, so we do it on rather an instinctual level.

You know how easily I can get carried away with a tune..lol..but I always feel good from it, and that is a signal to me that developing an "energy radar." (Gods, that term is so corny, but it says what I mean...lol..) is worth exploration.

And I know there are many times that I have stopped in the middle of my day to thank the Great Mother for her influence in the events that have unfolded since I got out of bed..I remember how bad it was before..and I am so greatful for the Strength I have found in my Path. Hail Lilith! (the Great Mother by all her names) Hail Kali Ma! and Hail Shivah! (doesn't do to forget the masculine).

Someone once told me we are ALL divine (hmmm..let me think...ahhhh yes, that was YOU JP) ..lol.. The masculine is every bit as vital as the feminine. It's about time sexism died in the Pagan world..lol..

I'm really looking forward to the Newsletters..it's going to be a great project. Well, I left poor Lauren hanging in the chat. Talk to you later on..
