Re: Vampyrism
I mean, I wish there was any kind of vampire here and not just people who have researched it. I'm not saying it would clear everything up, but it would be interesting to see which interpretation they ascribe to and what they have to say about the others.
Also, I don't think Greer was saying that they are the same, just that they started from these encounters. The original vampires are human spirits that have been turned vampiric, for whatever reasons. He goes into how this is related to the Eastern Europe myths and their misinterpretations. The Lestat-ish vampire just seems to be some kind of romanticization in the vein of Dracula, as is common with such subjects nowadays. Anyway, it's very interesting, what is in the vampire chapter in his book.

Re: Vampyrism
Ah, I understand what you are getting at. There are a few good sites that you can browse and hear human living vampires discuss their own experiences and what their own theories about why they are the way they are.
I would recommend DrinkDeeplyandDream.com - The Reality of the Modern Day Vampire :: Real Vampire information, support, and interaction. Forums, Chat, more! for some decent articles written from insider perspectives. The owner of the site and her boyfriend are both vampires. She gives some decent interviews on her own perspectives of her vampirism. The site's forum is also useful to find threads on vampires discussing why they feel they are vampires. Most of those threads (vampire origins/theories on causes) can be found in the "Real Vampires: Advanced Thoughts/Discussion" section, but you'll have to register to view it. You won't see the categories and threads if you are not a member. If you look at the site owner (MemoryandDream)'s photo, though, you will see what I mean when I say that you can't necessarily pick a vampire out of a crowd. Unless you are yourself a vampire (at least according to vampires), but that is another issue.
The other website that is pretty good is Sanguinarius.org for Real Vampires, Blood Drinkers and Vampiric People. It also has lots of informative articles and a large forum with lots of topics. And I don't believe you have to register to view the threads.
Generally we do not post other forums on this one, but given the specificity of the request and lack of overlap in subject matter, I figured it was easier to just redirect curious people to some sites best suited to answer this.

How very egotistical and condescending of you, not to mention ignorant and uneducated. I have been a Satanist since I was 16 years old and am damn year 40 now. I have moved on to Luciferian Witchcraft, some Hoodoo, and consider myself a Vampyre. Do you not think that there are a few of us "darker" folk that have kids too. I, myself have a daughter who is 16 and a step-daughter who is 14. You'd better bet nobody would get away with harming either. I'm not even going to bother commenting further to you. I can see you are a closed minded bigot.

You are entitled to your opinion, as uneducated as it may be.
Michael Ford has been initiated into Temple of Set, Temple of the Vampire, Order of Nine Angles, and founded The Order of Phosphorus, and Black Order of the Dragon. He has authored several books on the Black Arte's.
The Dragon is the "Father of Lies" because he is the Adversary, (Chaos, the power of change) causing all things to change. Therefore, there is no constant, all things are changing. So, what maybe true in time will no longer be true, thus it becomes a lie.
But I'm not here to spoon feed you. If you really wish to know do some research. You will find that you get more answers if you are sincerely seeking answers and are not so condescending.

Uneducated? Because I look at this *.PDF and can see how it easily can relate to some Vampire RPG's? You got me.. How silly of me. Anway, I am just curious to meeting a believer of such a path... Indeed I am not that sincere, to the seeking answers anyway. Just the subject was brought up being a comparative religious forum thought you may wish to add information... Not just showing what someone else has to say, but what you think and believe...

Re: Vampyrism
Oh, Well in that case I'm completely sorry. It just sounded to me like you were trying to belittle me because of my beliefs. But surely you would not be a religious bigot. Right?

Define a religious bigot and I'll give you a yes/no answer.
I would say from what I define as a religious bigot, that I'm not... I have no religion. Did have. Don't now.. Just please myself  Curious to looking at many forms of religion there are and seeing what motivates them to action and faith and whatever..... heh.

Actually, its more the fact that I'd all ready had a really long night. I work from 4PM - 3:35AM. So when the Sun starts coming up I know I'd better get to bed and rest up for the next night at work.
Bit off topic, but wanted to clearify that it wasn't because I am somewhat vampyric and can't stand sunlight. Though I will admit my eyes are a bit sensitive to sunlight. I attribute that more to having worked nights so long rather than a vampyric condition though.
