My thoughts on this: The people who "call" themselves vampires are just energy, magick, etc you know users. Vampires and magick have a lot in common! Tho, these people just call themselves this cause it's really created a "trend" which has gone so far that certain relations could be made, and people who bare certain traits has believed to believed themeselves to be "this" as to an extend that it has become a "lifestyle" or religion, with in it's own form.
So, the vampire lifestyle has not faded out of the young ones minds yet?
Well, let's see how many bases I can cover on this subject...
1. Some believe in their magick, and how it is able to do anything they believe it can. Don't bash it because you believe it to be silly.
2. Short-cuts do not exist,training is required for everything in your life. Even Vampires must train their psychic abilities before they even seem lightly threatening.
3. Blood lust is also considered a mental disease, try looking it up.
4. One must accept what they are, before looking to become something else.
5. The word Vampire has been an attractive word for hundreds of years, but they are soon to find out, the life style is no different than of a humans.
To the ones who are bashing the vampire lovers, give it time, they will grow out of this hunger and soon move on to something else. Die hard vampire lovers will learn, and still wish for to become one, no one can change that. Knowledge is here to guide us, not destroy us.
Thats just some stupid crap from hollywood and other myths, we do age just a tiny bit slower than other humans, depending on how strong we are, but of course if you try a spell that somehow works, or you find out you were born one, you need to know nothing comes easily, you have to train, and dont ask me how, my training is absolutely pointless in my eyes right now... and as for magic, vampires can easily do magic, but i have found blessings, light, or just "holy" magic is very difficult (Im a vampire and in the group I practice with, my white magic is extremely weak comapared to the others)
