So, Needless to say it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on this blog with any regularity. Let’s just say that it’s been a long summer and I needed some time away from computers and the majority of the online world, my participation was not mandatory so I took a much needed break. However, it’s been that time of year (since about Mid September for me personally) where we shed old skin to allow for new growth. Letting go of old energy, old ways of thinking and being in the world are shed to allow for new currents of energy to express themselves from within and without. As above, so below as it’s said… I’m sure it’s obvious that during the season and time of “death” and it’s energy reigning for the dark half of the year on the northern hemisphere we shall swerve ever soo slightly to a topic that may to some seem counter to death in a way. Essentially I’m going to introduce an occult topic that is the polar opposite of embracing death and it’s energy…. Well, what are we having for dinner you say? I was thinking vampires and vampirism and it’s associated connection with blood magic might be an enjoyable road to travel at this time. A road I’ve travelled before, a road that is forever new and yet forever old. Ouroboros . Vampirism is something I actively practice/live and study in the occult sense of the word. I may or may not discuss blood drinking and resources to useful supplies (bought new and sterile of course) and folks blogs who are more knowledgeable in the medical end of all things related to vampiric practice using body fluids such as blood, etc. I will also share links and resources to online presences of varying aspects/philosophies within the vampire community that should not be confused with fetish lifestyle/practice or role players. As always, my blog posts tend to be short and sweet so don’t expect comprehensive access and knowledge to the various topics we explore together. That doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t get me wrong… I just like to offer some resources that have helped inform me on my path at some point and influenced my approach and practice of vampirism, feel free to use what works and throw out the rest!
