Greetings Everybody,
I am pleased to find a topic on Vampires in here. I have been
studying and researching on Vampires for 9 years now. What really
upsets me is the misconception and the misleading articles about
vampires. I have came upon hundreds of books, movies, stories and
people who proclaim themselves to be Vampires in my years of work
in this field.
To be honest with you, 98% of the things you read in books or watch
in the movies about Vampires are NOT true. Most of all, the
internet doesn't give you the information you need. I have surfed
through so many websites about vampires and it really amuses
me.
For example - The legendary way to kill a vampire is by driving a
stake through the heart of a vampire. Well, anyone would die from
that even if he/she isn't a vampire.
I will take this oppurtunity to enlighten to the many out there who
are having the wrong facts about vampires. For a start, I won't be
using the word "Vampire" but "Vampyre". Many might argue that its a
name re-spelled for games and role-plays but I think
otherwise.
In my years of work, I have came across goths, posers, wannabes and
of course the curious. I saw someone posting about seeing few guys
wearing black with their face being pale at city hall. Well, they
could be goths. People have often get confused between Gothic
Lifestyle and Vampyrsim.
The Gothic Lifestyle is just a fashion statement or some say
sub-culture. It does have the roots connected to darkness but not
to Vampyrsim. There are also articles saying that Vampyres carry a
book known as The Book of Nod. Which is nothing more than a myth.
The Book of Nod does'nt even exist in this face of Earth.
The common MYTHS about Vampyres are :
1- Vampyres fear sunlight...
2- Vampyres fear garlic...
3- Vampyres fear holy water...
4- Vampyres suck and survive on blood...
5- Vampyres have fangs...
6- Vampyres are immortal...
7- Vampyres can shapeshift - like turn to bats and such...
8- Vampyres have super human senses...
9- Vampyres are soldiers to Satan and connected to
Satanism...
10- Vampyres are killed by driving a stake through the
heart...
All of the above are nothing but myths and it really amuses me of
how, a few well crafted rumours about Vampyres have taken the world
by storm.
Vampyres or Vampyrism is in fact a forbidden knowledge and culture.
What are Vampyres? They are just like us, living breathing beings
who have their regular food, day in and out to survive. They don't
go around sucking blood. The movies have made it so. Vampyres die
too, they are not immortals. Everything that breathes, will die one
day. Most of all, Vampyrism is not a religion. They can't
shapeshift - imagine a whole body mass turning into a bat. Where
does the other excess of body mass goes to? Sunlight, garlic and
the holy water have no effect on Vampyres. There are people who are
allergic to sunlight and its a medical condition. Does that make
them a Vampyre? Garlic and holy water - God knows who came up with
that idea in Hollywood.
As i have said, driving a stake through the heart of a Vampyre
kills it. It will kill you too. Satanism and Vampyrism are never
connected. Vampyres are known to be the rebels - therefore got the
name as the "undead". They are known to fight against all odds,
fighting against Hell and Heaven. They don't have a religion, so
how could they be satanist if they fight against hell.
To my understanding, Vampyres do exist, but its not how they look
or dress as you might think. They work, eat and sleep (Yes, they
sleep at night too). So you might be asking, what makes a Vampyre a
Vampyre? Well its the belief and the knowledge of their culture
they carry on. In the historical time, trouble makers are often
labelled as blood suckers in the society. I am sure even nowadays,
some of our parents call us blood suckers. If translated in some
foreign language like greek if I am not wrong, blood sucker comes
as "Vampyr" - Broken down in English would be "Vampire".
So, these Vampyres being the outcast of society need some secrecy
to survive in the society itself. They need to mingle with the
crowd without exposing who they are. And that secrecy is being
followed till today. Of course there are some who don't follow that
and their identity get exposed but not their belief. Its just a
"custom" and culture for them.
Vampyres in the movies and books are not what they are. Hollywood
is making money by pushing their imagination of a blood sucking
rebel or should I say a trouble maker...
There are many things I have not covered in Vampyrsim in my years
of research. If any of you do have a question, do post one here. I
would be pleased to clear your doubts.
hahhahaha
