VAMPIRISM
PART THREE - VAMPIRES IN MIND
Read Part One First
Unlike Sanguinarian Vampirism, Psychic, Vampirism differs in one essential aspect; Instead of the insatiable urge to feast on the blood of humans and animals, a psychic vampire is driven to leach the pranic energy, (more popularly known as ‘Life Force’), from it’s victims.
Although under-going numerous changes in various subcultures throughout history, the psychic predator as always stayed true to its basic origins back in ancient times. And following the teachings of Asetianism.
In 1930, Dion Fortune wrote of psychic parasitism in relation to vampirism, and considered it a combination of psychic and psychological pathology.
The term Psychic Vampire was first used in the 1960’s when Anton La Vey, the founder of the Church of Satan coined the term in his highly controversial book, ‘The Satanic Bible’. This book began a storm of outrage and ridicule that still rages on in many areas of the world today, and still receives understandable condemnation from all orthodox churches and religions.
The term was also used in Luis Marques’s book, ‘The Asetian Bible, where he is at pains to point out that, the contemporary psychic vampire’s beliefs are based on the esoteric tradition of Asetianism, which relies on predatory spirituality and the extensive use of Ancient Egyptian symbolism whose teachings are strictly and thoroughly maintained by the occultist Order of Aset Ka.
The Modern Day Psychic Vampire:
The majority of so called modern day psychic vampires, are (it seems) No more than individuals who seek to stand out from the masses in bizarre or unconventional dress and tend to follow a conveniently changeable set of morals and ideals. It has to be said that these morals and ideals appear to bare uncanny resemblance to those portrayed in modern media imagery. The sad consequence of this, albeit increasingly popular, subculture is that the original and ancient culture is declining into no more than a modern fashion statement.
This said, there are a surviving minority of Asetian followers who still practice their secret art under a veil of comparative secrecy. They are to be found in small ‘cults’, world wide, feeding from the psychic energy of not only their own numbers, but also, it is reported from unsuspecting victims.
A psychic vampire does not stand out in a crowd - according to his belief, his or her very survival is dependent on their ability to move around unnoticed. Draining small inconsequential amounts of energy from many victims, leaving them feeling slightly tired and lethargic, but in the main unharmed. The predator is then thought to move on to its next victim, whilst increasing revitalisation by each encounter.
As already mentioned, the psychic vampire shows no outward differences from any other ‘normal’ human. However, over the years research has shown that individuals claiming to be psychic vampires do display certain psychological traits, not least of all a marked tendency towards schizophrenia.
In conclusion: It has to be said that vampirism and its associate subcultures have survived from the times of antiquity, passing through various phases and fads. We can only hope that if it continues in the current trend, its effect on the public at large will also continue to drift away from the fatal consequences of its original origins and subsequent teachings.
