VAMPYRECRAFTE

Vampyrecrafte is exactly what the name implies. It can best be described as Psychic and usually Sanguine vampires who are either Wiccan or Neo-Pagan Practitioners of Magick (not magic). Vampires rely on their natural abilities of energy manipulations and clairvoyance to aid in their magickal workings. It is important to understand that Vampiric Wiccans and Neo-Pagans do practice with moral and ethical responsibilities (for example the Black Veil). Some vampiric practitioners even uphold the Wiccan Rede of "An' it harm none, do what ye wilt", just as any Wiccan would however having said that most follow more traditional pagan view which doesnt include the Wiccan Rede this doesnt necessaryly mean they have a negative view just means that its individualized to that practitioner. And therefore, it is obvious that as many vampires as wiccans can equally abuse the craft - as intent is the most important aspect of all forms of magick. Unlike non-vampiric practitioners, Vampires tend to be able to access their natural abilities and instantly shield or banish any unwanted energies (due to using the energies to feed/thou not all in vampyrecrafte do so) . Therefore, purification of the sacred space for rituals is not a (usually) lengthy process or focus - Vampires tend to simply ignore or dismiss any metaphysical properties by their own will. There is less spellwork involved in Vampyrecrafte. Instead, Vampires can visualize their goals, gather energy from outside sources, and focus and project their own energies faster than it took me to compose this sentance. The Sanguinarium (book used by Sanguine Vampires) defines Vampyrcraeft or Vampyrecrafte as: "In general, this is the magick practiced by vampires. Many vampires are Pagan and follow the Old Ways, and the ways of magick are an integral part of their beliefs. Most vampires practice numerous techniques associated with energy manipulation. Vampyrcrafte refers to magickal techniques specifically designed by vampires to take advantage of their unique abilities. Vampyrcrafte often has a dark flavor to it, although in general it is more of a balance between dark and light techniques." Epiphany is a semi-feminist tradition of VampyreCrafte dedicated to the balance of dark and light. Epiphany practitioners usually tend to use the Maiden Goddess Persephone, the Mother Goddess Demeter, and the Crone Goddess Hecate. Each coven, house or circle tends to find comfort in different Vampiric Male Gods or DemiGods such as Set, Draco, Draconis, Cain, or more personal vampiric spirit guides. Just as the Elysian Mysteries are dedicated to the balance of dark and light of the year, many Vampire Practitioners of the Craft feel the need to balance the dark and light aspects within themselves. The Vernal and Autumn Equinoxes greatly affect many vampire's psychic and physical health, which are the days of equal light and dark in nature. Likewise, there is a certain amount of focus that many vampires need to devote to balance the light and dark aspects of their abilities, personalities, and general health.

VAMPIRIC GODS AND GODDESSES

Vampires who correspond their Rites with the Divine often tend to associate with Gods and/or Goddesses that posses a reknown vampiric quality. While many practicing Vampires tend to acknowledge Pagan Deities pretty well the same as non-vamps, they however feel more of an attraction to Gods and Goddesses connected with the Underworld. Lilith. Lilith, also known as Lilithru, is the Dark Mother Goddess for many VampyreCrafte practitioners. She is considered by many in vampyrecrafte as the original vampire and a siren of ultimate beauty and seduction. The term Succubus is often associated with Lilith. If she is not considered a Goddess, then she is definitely the spiritual forebearer for many vampires. Lilith and her heirs were believed by the Israelites to feed upon infants and young men, drinking their life and their blood. Lilith was probably borrowed by the Israelites from Babylonian lore, where she appears as a wild woman who haunts waste places. She is traditionally depicted naked, with long flowing hair, wings and the talons of a bird of prey in place of feet. As the Lady of Beasts, she is often accompanied by wild animals, usually lions or owls. While many view Cain as the Vampiric God (the more feminist sects dont consider Cain thus) to Lilith as the Vampiric Goddess, it is more common for those in vampyrecrafte consider the male counter-part of Lilith to be the vampiric man-bird Gelal, noted in the ancient Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. However, today the modern philosophy of the Lilith Tradition tends to be positive one; vampire or not, many practitioners choose to acknowledge Lilith as a strong female figure and worship Her as a patron Goddess no longer affiliated with the death of children and the source of destruction as the Judeo-Christian myths portrayed. Many of the Lilians drink blood and also incorporate blood into their ritual.

Greek God/dess Bloodlust: Many gods and goddesses in Greek stories had to supply spirits with the blood of humans and animals in order for these mysterious spirits to help them. Hera, the queen of the gods, took vengence upon a lover of Zeus by turning her into a creature of the night that devours her children or sucks their blood.

Hecate: is a Pagan Goddess associated with the Underworld. She is a Triple Goddess and possesses all 3 aspects of the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. She is associated with Vampires due to her blood consumption. However, Hecate is most noted as the Dark Wise Crone who left the Underworld at night and haunted the crossroads with bloodthirst. Statues of her were set-up at crossroads; libations and offerings were made there to appease her appetite in order to limit her human consumption of blood. The Empusai were believed to be daughters of Hecate, who came out of Underworld at night with equal bloodlust. According to folklore, the daughters were known shape-shifters whose natural form was said to have one leg of a mule and one leg that was bronze. They took the form of beautiful women to seduce the men. Their reputation included preying upon shepherds in their fields at night and men who traveled at night. The daughter Goddess Empusa is the most reknown vampiric daughter of Hecate.

Cain: (not to be confused with the Roleplay<VtM> Caine) To many, Cain is considered the Father of Vampires and holds a Demi-God status. The lore of Cain is based on the fact that Caine was the first murderer and that when the Christian God sent him out to wander in the world, He cursed Cain with immortality. Some Lilithian traditions link Cain with Lilith due to both being thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Cain has without a doubt been a dark individual in the tale of slaying his brother Abel in the Garden of Eden; however, it is unclear if he was ever clearly depicted as vampiric before then. Most Cainites drink blood, although they also supplement this with life-energy.

Kali: is a Hindu deity known as the Goddess of Death or the Dark Mother. She is described as a black voluptuous woman with bloodthirsty eyes, which human blood drips from her long tongue thus the very strong connection for modern vampiric practitioners of all forms of magick. Human skulls hang on strings around her body, snakes writhe around her neck and in each of her 10 hands, there are weapons. Since Kali is the Goddess of Death, she had to destroy everything, including her husband, since no visible thing is eternal in this sect most practitioners dont view vampirism as eternal.

Kali-Ma: is distinct from Kali, as She is the ancient Hindu Goddess of change and transformation. Kali-Ma is the energy of destruction that brings forth the new life through death. By facing the energy of change, our lives are transformed. Vampiric practitioners that follow this deity are more concerned about change in the world and their social conditioning within the vampiric religious society.

Set: Many practitioners in the vampire community link vampirism back to the Egyptian God Set. Egyptologists have recently suggested that Set is just a deification of an Egyptian high priest from very early times, and that the rivalry between Set and Osiris represents a rivalry between competing temples. In the Setians' view, Set was a high priest of a temple who developed a ritual of death and rebirth that allowed the soul to achieve immortality. The Setians believe that the rites described in the Egyptian Book of the Dead are only improperly recollected versions of this ritual. Set chose 72 associates to undergo this ritual with him and to travel eternity as undying spirits which were eternally renewed. The vampiric condition was a side effect of this ritual. The Setians believe then that vampirism is a spiritual condition, and it represents immortality as the soul is immortal and capable of reincarnation. Through pastlife regressions one can recall itself. Setians feed primarily upon life energy and generally abstain from the physical drinking of blood. Sangomancy is defined in the Scrolls of Elorath as "a path of mixing blood and chaos magick where each initiate takes the best from other paths and combines them into his or her own interpretation."

The Nephilim: This definition is taken from Lexicon of the Sanguinarium. The Nephilim is a widespread belief within the vampiric community which asserts that vampyres are the descendants of the Nephilim. The Nephilim are demi-human beings who were sired by angels, as related in Enoch I, a book that was dropped from the Bible in the early stages of its canonization. Some Nephilists believe that the vampyric condition is genetically traceable to these otherworldly fathers. Others are content to suggest that the Nephilim simply represent a higher kind of being which came down and intermingled with humanity. As far as the beliefs of the second order of Nephilists are concerned, vampyres experience their condition because they are more spiritual than most beings, with a higher "vibration" or "frequency" to their spirit which somehow burns their bodies out quicker and makes it necessary to feed. Some Nephilists feed upon blood, while many others feed primarily upon life-energy. Most seem to incorporate blood into their magick and ritual.

Vetala: A Vetala is a type of vampiric, the angry spirit of a dead person whose funerary rites were not conducted. Trapped between life and after-life, the Vetala manifest their hostility by disturbing mortals, driving them hysterical, killing them, or killing unborn children. Vetalas may also live inside of the corpses of humans. They may also inhabit the carcasses of animals, re-animating them as though they were alive again.

NOTE: Many adept Sangomancy practitioners find personal communion with the Dark Deities such as Kali, Siva, Oshun, Set, Nepthys, Hadit, Nuit, Babalon, Loki, Cernunnos, and Discordia. It is important to understand that these Deities are not "evil" and should never be invoked with any type of malice intended. Many Deities who are connected with the Underworld in Mythology are prone to "mark or scar" the practitioner for any misappropriations of harmful magick done in the God or Goddess' name.

These are very basic information wise if you wish to do some research do your own internet research. Also please note that the following arnt all deity status some even have demonic status within Vampyrecrafte.

Anath (Canaanite Goddess): Blood drinking Goddess. She was fertilized through blood, and even other Gods feared her.

Aosoth: Dark female force in the pantheon of the Order of the Nine Angles. Works of passion and death. The name should be vibrated.

Atazoth: The most powerful of the Dark Gods in the pantheon of the Order of the Nine Angles. The name itself (which correctly describes the entity only when chanted properly) signifies in one sense the purpose of the cosmic cycies and the opening of the Gates since 'Atazoth' as a word means 'an increasing of azoth'.

Athushir: Symbolic form along the l6th path of the Order of the Nine Angles. Serpent of fire ('dragon') often regarded as a memory of one of the Dark Gods during their previous (and only partially successful) intrusion into our causal universe. Word of power (Kthunase) to be vibrated to bring forth this entity.

Azanigin: Mother of all demons who lie waiting in Earth in the pantheon of the Order of the Nine Angles. Key of B minor, Very useful to invoke in works of personal destruction.

Angerona: Roman goddess of secrecy.

Até: Greco-Roman Goddess, herald of disasters on the horizon, the personification of the powers leading to disaster and ruin. Also the goddess of infatuation.

Amprodias: Wliphotic guardian of the 11th Tunnel, sometimes connected to Nyarlathotep. Regarded as a distortion of The Fool. Instead of being about to walk off the edge of a cliff, here he's seated at the bottom of a crater, at the edge of a pit, whence issue inane bubbles of nothingness. Instead of his warning dog, here we see the idiot flute-playing demons seeking not to advise, but to distract and confuse. Worst of all, the Fool is beyond mere "Folly", because as anyone can plainly see, he has no head at all.His disease is diarrhea. His path is that of reversal. Since 11 is the general number for magic and since 11 is also the number of Daath on the Tree of Life, i.e. the "non-existent" sephirah and the gateway to the "other side", Amprodias also has The Fool's number. Zero (the Void) is the number that precedes One (Manifestation). The Zeroeth Level is also the level that precedes even the must elementary level of consensual reality. That is it even precedes solipsism and madness.

Babalon: Crowley's numerologically-derived spelling. Another name for the Scarlet Woman, regarded by some to be a terms meaning a fire elemental. The great whore, there are several goddesses who are regarded as possible identities for her, including Astarte and Lilith.
Bau: Ancient Sumerian goddess with the head of a dog. The Egyptian cult of Anubis, far older than that of Osiris, can be traced to Bau. Anubis himself, written in early heiroglyphs as 'An-pu', may be a direct continuation of Bau's father, the Sumerian god An.

Budsturga: A blue, aetherial entity related to Order of the Nine Angles' l3th path. Tradition relates it as a Dark God, of female aspect, trapped in the vortex between the causal and acausal spaces, In one sense represents hidden wisdom - but generally dangerous to sanity, Partially manifest when Nemicu vibrated.

Befana: In popular belief in north Italy, a female demon of midwinter. She brings presents - but also has a vicious streak in which she appears as a ghost. The name Befana (or Befania) comes from Epiphany, the Christian feast of the Magi, which takes place on January 6.

Bellona: Roman goddess of war, popular among the Roman soldiers. She accompanied Mars in battle, and, depending on the legend, was said to be either his wife, sister or daughter, and was sometimes portrayed as his charioteer or muse. This serpent-haired goddess is often described as the feminine side of the god Mars. She is identified with the Greek war goddess Enyo. In front of Bellona's temple, the fetialis (priestly officials) performed the declaration of war ceremony, the casting of a spear against the distant enemy. Bellona's attribute is a sword and she is depicted wearing a helmet. She could be of Etruscan origin.

Brigitte: The female guardian of graves and loa of the cemeteries; sacred trees are the elm and weeping willow.

Baccus (Greek God): God of Wine but also drank blood his followers drank human blood and it was said to make them crazy as well as aligned to the god for enternity. (Bacci were said to be his supernatural vampiric women servants)

Cihuacoatl (Aztec Goddess): Blood drinking Goddess. Known as the snake woman, she traditionally has two knives sticking out of her forehead.

Cloacina: Roman goddess of sewers.

Chirops: A Bat God - one of the mysterious "supreme" deities. (Cf. Satan's batwings and the triliteral Arab root kh-f-sh, which depending on the vowels can mean "bat" or "ruin", destruction"). In Mesoamerican religions, the bat stands for enlightenment, since it awakens in the darkness. The Mayan god (equivalent?) is Camazotz.

Coatlicue: The ancient goddess of the earth, 'she who has a skirt of serpents', was the mother of Coyolxauhqui, nocturnal darkness, and of the 400 southerners who were stellar divinities. One day she was praying, a bunch of feathers fell from heaven and she placed them in her bodice. Shortly afterwards, she discovered that she was pregnant. Her children reproached her for this belated pregnancy ans contemplated killing her. But Huitzilopochtli emerged fully armed from his mother's womb wearing blue armor and carrying a blue javelin, and massacred his brothers and sisters - just as sunlight scatters the stars."

Darkat: Goddess associated with lunar aspects by the Order of the Nine Angles, The name is traditionally regarded as pre-Sumerian in origin and Darkat is often regarded as the origin of the myth of Lilitu/Lilith - the female counterpart of Dagon - remembered as one of the Dark Gods from their last manifestation on Earth. Associated with the lOth and 8th paths.

Davcina: Female form along the 19th path of the Order of the Nine Angles. To be vibrated. Useful in works of enchantment.

Eris: Greco-Roman goddess of Discord and Chaos adopted in the 20th cent. by the Discordians. She was the personification of strife. Known to the Romans as Discordia, she was a sister of Mars and belonged to the retinue of Mars and Bellona (the Roman goddess of War). She is said to have a son known as Strife.In Greco-Roman mythology she was variously blamed for strife, deceit, contention, murder, wars, disputation, and rivalry.She has been associated with the Fool and Tower tarot cards (representing both her trickster and her destructive aspects).

Ereshkigal: (Allatu) The supreme goddess of the Sumerian underworld. Nergal is her consort. She is often considered Ishtar's sister. When angered, her face grows livid and her lips grow black. She doesn't know why Ishtar would visit her, but she allows her in, according to the ancient rites. She instructs Namtar to release his diseases upon Ishtar. When 'His appearance is bright' tries to get her to swear an oath, she curses him. She has Namtar release Ishtar in exchange for Dumuzi.
Anu sends Kakka to her with a message and then sends Nergal to give her a throne upon which she is to sit and give judgment. She offers Nergal food, drink, a foot bath, and entices him with her body. Eventually he succumbs and they sleep with each other for seven days. She is enraged when he wishes to leave. She sends Namtar to heaven to request that Anu, Ellil, and Ea send Nergal to her as one of the few favors she has ever had. If they do not, she will raise the dead and they will eat and outnumber the living. Nergal is brought back. In some versions of the myth, Nergal takes control of Namtar's attendant demons and grabs Ereshkigal by the hair. In this position she proposes marriage to him. In both versions they are married.

Euronymous: Greek prince of death.

Gargophias: In the Quabbla, the 13th guardian of the dark Tarot. A parallel of the High Priestess. Grant calls it batrachian witchcraft, Hecate's, the goddess Frog-Head. As the High Priestess watches implacably at the cliff edge of the Abyss for the magician to make his solitary leap, Gargophias waits for him to leap into the depths of sexual union (the mating of Chaos and Time). Her magic is dream interpretation and clairvoyance. The disease of Gargophias is menstrual malfunction.

Gwynn ap Nudd: The Master of the Wild Hunt, The Welsh Guardian of the Dark Portals of the Underworld. He rode the Night in a flowing grey cloak upon a pale horse following his Hounds called Cwn Annwn. (very large, white with red tipped ears). They would seek out and collect souls. Direction: West or North.

Hathor (Egyptian Goddess): Hathor is often the Goddess spoken of in the Sekhmet myth.

Hades: Greek god of the underworld, equated with the Roman Pluto, wedded to Persephone.

Hadit: Chaldean version of Set, according to Grant, and the divine seed of manifestation (the divine spermatozoon or serpent). As Nuit, according to Crowley, is "infinite space," so Hadit is the infinitely small or atomic center. By extension, Hadit is the equivalent of Lucifer, who is his own Holy Guardian Angel and the "seed" of our hell-world. Hadit can also be the manifestation of Nuit, as the child, Horus, is the manifestation of the Mother. The Isis-Horus connection to Xtian madonna and child, after all, is well established.

Hel: Nordic goddess, Loki's daughter generally portrayed as being rotted from waist down, or on one side of her body, rules the realm of the dead, notably the realm where men who have died out of battle are banished.

Itzli: Stone knife god of the Aztecs, identified with Tezcatlipoca.

Lamia: Greek vampiric entity who takes the form of a snake a beautiful woman or a woman with a snake's lower body. She is said to seduce young men and then kill and eat them. She is said to do this, and to kill children, in vengance against the gods. She is said to have originally been a Libyan queen deserted by Zeus, whom his wife Hera robbed of her own children.

Lucifer: Lucifer is one of the many names given to "the Devil" (the Prince of Darkness) by Christianity. Lucifer means "light bearer" (sometimes "bringer of light" or "the dark"). Lucifer was originally an angel of light; however, he has been classified amoung medieval demons & devils because he "fell from grace" by rebelling against the Elohim. In the theosophical tradition, he has been looked upon more kindly & is regarded as a personification or archetype of the independent & self-conscious mind.For the uninformed, Lucifer was the Roman equivalent of the greek Prometheus who was punished by Zeus (tortured) for stealing fire from mt. olympus to give to the dying race of humanity, who had fallen into disgrace with Zeus (and was too much of a pussy to survive anyhow). He's one of the few origins of the Christian devil that can be traced back to its original source.

Nanahuatl (Aztec God): God of the Sun who requires the blood and hearts of men or gods in order to live.

Nyx (Greek Goddess): Goddess of night and primordial chaos.

Nija: Polish god of the underworld.

Noctulius: Order of the Nine Angles' deity of night. Useful in works of enchantment. Earth based. hey for chant: G minor. Perfume - petriochor, Nythra: Energy vortex in Abyss - nameless in itself but represented by vibration of word, Works of terror and sinister destruction.

Nuit: Egyptian goddess of night.

Pazuzu: (Also P'azuzu). An Old Mesopotamian (appears variously in Assyrian, Sumerian & Babylonian lore) demon depicted with four wings and a fearful countenance, with a scorpion's tale and rotting genetalia.In Babylonian demonology, Pazuzu is the son of Hanpa, father or brother of Humwawa. He is the Lord of the evil spirits of the air. Pazuzu, "Lord of the wind demons," spreads fever and cold and horrible diseases. Loosely, he might be described as a "Bringer of Plague."There are a vast variety of charms and spells to ward off Pazuzu's influence, and he himself has been called upon and made offerings to in order to ward off his influence and that of other devils. Pazuzu was used on amulets to banish the baby killing Lamaschtu. He is also called upon to aid in curses, particularly by modern magicians.Should you choose to work with Pazuzu, precautions that should be taken as his temprament could be described as insane and unstable to say the least.Firstly, whatever the English language version of the Simon Necronomicon says, Pazuzu is most definitely NOT equivalent to the Demon Choronzon, and should not be worked with as such. The Simon Nec figures that the Dunwich Horror is related/equivalent to Choronzon (in Crowley's work) and Pazuzu (in Sumerian magick).Secondly, if you work regularly with Lilith, and decide to work with Pazuzu, expect fireworks. This is related to Pazuzu being used to counter and protect babies, children and prengant women from Lamaschtu, Lilith's Sumerian incarnation.If you do decide to to evocatory, invocatory, or communicatory workings with Pazuzu, create a talisman for him first, which can be ritually removed from your working space should he cause trouble.Pazuzu's primay expression of displeasure and annyance seems to be disease - for example, all 3 people in the household when he was worked with suffered a variety of interesting diseases. I forget the specifics of one, but it seems that the diseases were appropriate for the people in question.A member of the household who has a distinct feline aspect got cat flu, while an individual who associates with serpents got stomatitis (throat/mouth rot, which turns up rather nastily in reptiles). And yes, these were checked out by a doctor. All illnesses virtually vanished the day after the Pazuzu talisman was removed from the altar.

Pomba Gira: Pomba Gira and her sisters are the female compamons of Eshu. Pomba Gira is said by some to mean "spinning pigeon" because a person possessed by her begins the manifestation by dancing and spinning drunkenly, although this is just one interpretation of her name.The character of the Pomba Gira is primarily lascivious, promiscuous, pleasure-loving and free of all inhibitions. She has quite a lot in common with the succubus of European demonology but without the sinister overtones. She has also been compared the Mesopotamian goddess/demoness Lilith.She likes alcohol and sex and both can be indulged in her honor or used as an offering. She can be called upon to bring about the satisfaction of love, lust and vice, and also to cause others to lose control and disgrace or ruin themselves. Long term work with her has been said to inspire transvesticism in men.

Sekhmet (Egyptian Goddess): Avenger of a plot against the Gods, she developed a taste for blood after drinking it from the humans she killed.

Set (Egyptian God): The High Priest who later became deified. He discovered a ritual to turn people into spiritual immortals. He initially converted 72 of his followers and bound them to him in a never ending cycle of death and rebirth.

Shub-Niggurath: The Black Goat of the Woods of the Lovecraftian mythos. Described as a type of "perverse fertility deity", Shub-Niggurath also is called the Goat with a thousand young. She is apparently a very important deity in the Necronomicon mythos, judging by how frequently she is mentioned. There is obviously a connection between the cult of Shub-Niggurath and the many Goat cults of antiquity. In the Simon Necronomicon, she is equated with Pan.

Supay: Inca god of the underworld.

Tiamat (Babylonian Goddess): Goddess of primordial chaos.

Tlaltecuhtli: Aztec deity, "The Frog Monster" "The Earth-Lord". Wears his hair curled. Centipedes, scorpions, serpents and other nocturnal creatures were ever present companions to this god and depicted in his hair. For the Aztecs the earth was a kind of a monster, when pictured as a frog it took the name Tlaltecuhtli.

Tlazolteotl: Aztec deity known as "the Goddess of Filthy Things". Also known as the "Witch Goddess". Goddess of carnel matters, able to incite illicit love affairs, and lust. Like Xipe Totec, she is often represented wearing the skin of a sacrificed victim. She is identified by the band of cotton worn on her headdress and a black spot covering her nose and mouth. Often seen carrying a broom in hand, she is honoured during the month that one sweeps, "Ochiponiztli".

Typhon: Draconic earth demon of Greek legend. He was said to be of human form down to his thighs. From the thighs downward he had huge coils of vipers, which when drawn out, reached to his head and emitted a loud hissing. His body was bewinged and fire flashed from his eyes. Typhon hurled firey rocks and breathed fire. He loomed above the mountains, and brushed the stars with his head. One of his hands reached out to the west and the other to the east, and from them projected a hundred dragons' heads. Father of the Chimaera, son of Gaia and Tartarus, Typhon's half-sister (and, according to some legends, his consort) is Echidna. In his childhood, Gaia told Typhon of the evils Zeus had perpetrated upon her other children. Later, Typhon went to war with Zeus and his gods. They fled to Egypt, Zeus attacking him with thunderbolts from a distances. Typhon eventually captured Zeus, who had to be resuced by Hermes and Aegipan. Legend has it that in a later battle Zeus finally defeated Typhon by casting Mount Etna in Sicily upon Typhon, where he was guarded by Hephaestus, who rendered his escape impossible by fitting gieant anvils to his head. Earthquakes are said to be caused every time Typhon struggles to escape, and his fiery breath still erupts as lava out of Mount Etna.Typhon is also used as another name for Set (Slayer of Osiris). In the Wheel of Fortune, Typhon is the destructive force of existence related to Capricorn (the culmination of Pisces' dissolution). A god of evil winds, Typhon is the origin of the word, "typhoon."

Uggae: Sumerian God of Death.

Yama: Lord of the Underworld, our first father and the angel of our death. Yama is the Hindu equivalent of Pluto, the guardian of Hell. But along with the dreaded Yama is the even more intimidating Yamataka, Yama's destroyer who is both a bodhisattva and an aspect of Shiva. He is black, has many heads, eyes, legs and arms bearing mystic implements and human skulls. He is engaged in intercourse with a female bodhisattva, a concubine/succubus. Another of his names is Varja-Bhairava ("Terrible Lightning") and he is the protective God of the Tibetan temple of Gelugpa.

RITUALISTIC PRACTICES

Now not all those that follow the Vampyrecrafte as meantioned at the top do or need to do huge cleansings of their "sacred" area like with none vampires however there are times when it does occur depending on the goals of the individual person and what their belief system requires. And these are very basic for research concepts overall. thanks those that sent me some of their rituals.

Ritual Vampiric Constructs:
Ritual vampiric constructs usually need the following tools or foci to aid in their creation:
A sigil to name the construct and it's intent.
A crystal or other receptacle for storing energy.
Clay or another substance to make a physical representation of the construct.
If the construct is not defensive, and is used for offense, then something representing the target is needed (personal belonging, picture or sigil).
Use standard methods for creating the sigil.
First Phase (creation): Create a circle (to aid in containing the energy raised) and begin building energy, while visualising your construct.
Your name shall be [insert construct's name based on your sigil].
You are created from my energy and my Will.
You are bound to me, through my energy and my Will.
You shall rejoin me when your task is complete.
[name of construct], your task is [name it's task]!

At this point you should transfer the energy into the object you have made to house the construct.

Ritual to Summon a Succubus
Put 5 drops of blood in a walnut shell.
Then squeeze 5 drops of lime juice into the shell as well (for power and influence).
Lay the walnut shell on a piece of leather if you want the sex to be rough and on lace or satin if you want it gentle and tender. Make sure the shell is sitting in an open bowl when it arrives or you'll trap it.
Dip your pinkies into the fluid in the shell bowl and dab on corners of eyes. Sleep naked. Use a feather pillow, if available. Chewing black licorice (which supposedly stimulates the yin centers) before you fall asleep as you focus on your desire to call a succubus is supposed to help. (If an incubus is the preference, put a bit of banana peel or some other phallic-type substance in the walnut shell with the blood and lime juice).To remember the encounter, drink half a glass of water before laying down.Finish the other half IMMEDIATELY upon waking to bring the details back to mind.

Vampire Transformation Ritual (Wiccan)
On the night of the New Moon, enter an intense meditation state. For half an hour, imagine yourself gaining the attributes of a Vampire. rest, then continue for another half hour. Continue every night until the Full Moon. During this undertaking, always invoke either the goddess or the god, whatever you're more comfortable doing, for their protection and aid.

Below is an articule on Direct Energy Vampirism within the Elements of Vampiric Magick

Direct Energy Vampirism
Probably the most commonly practiced technique of vampiric magick is energy vampirism, also called psychic vampirism.Something that article doesn't go into are the many ways in which energy vampirism can be performed, for example via a servitor, in dreams, or by targetting a specific type of energy (e.g. sexual energy, energy produced by religious fervor, the energy produced by some disease or illness - used for healing - or whatever).

Sexual Vampirism: Another form of energy vampirism, but typically practiced by those who have refined their tastes to prefer energy released through sex. While vampires are typically portrayed as dominant beings, sexual vampirism can be carried out equally well from a position of submission.

Other Emotional States: In a similar way to the preference of some for energy released during sex, others have a preference for energy released by other emotional states, for example anger or grief.

Reversed Energy Vampirism: One of very few uses of energy vampirism I've encountered that is actually intended to be beneficial to someone other than the vampire.The process is simple enough, but it can be extremely physically, psychically and emotionally draining if the donor energy vampire is low on energy for some reason, such as not having fed lately or through illness or injury.It is simply a reversal of the feeding process. Rather than pulling energy out of the subject and into himself, the vampire pushes energy from himself into the subject. Initially, a visualisation of occuring can help as a focus for the donor vampire, as can pooling the energy into one part of the body (the hands, for example) and from there transferring the energy into the subject.A vampire servitor can also be applied to this task, given instructions to feed the energy it collects into the chosen subject rather than into its creator or into a vessel.A vampire can use similar techniques to gather energy from its immediate surroundings and feed the subject from this, acting as a conduit of sorts.This technique can be used to aid in the healing process. Interestingly enough, it also seems that if a psychic vampire who feeds regularly gives energy to a sanguinarian vampire, this will eliminate indefinitely the sanguinarian's blood cravings and any negative symptoms which would normally occur if they didn't feed.

Feeding on disease energy: drawing normally detrimental energies from the subject.Energy vampirism can and does occur on an instinctive level, but here I am dealing with it in the context of a willed magickal act, rather than as an innate part of one's nature. However, natural psi-vamps may also find magical vampiric techniques to be of use.

Vampire Servitors:
A servitor, thought-form, or egregore is an artificially created incorporeal entity made for a specific purpose in order to carry out a magician's will.Most vampiric servitors are created with the intent of draining energy (generally from a specific target) and passing that energy back to the magician.

Other Vampiric Servitors - Arawyn conThanatos
Ok, I created a servitor and a sigil to program it. The sigil contained the specified statement of intent with the task. Then I consecrated the servitor.I did it with the method I put on my homepage under sigil magick (now that I've some experience with that second method I discovered that it's just the creation of servitors without material basis).Along with creating the servitor in the image of the sigil I also specified it further, for example, when it is vampirise energy from the victim, how much and where to store it. The servitor itself is now housed in a wooden disk which is linked to the crystal, where it stores the energy. I also linked the demise of the target with the that of the servitor. Since this will still take some time (I tried to arrange it for some point at the end of the year) I can't tell you yet how successful it is as yet.Suffice to say that the crystal contains more energy every week (unless I use it for something else). A week ago, the doctor diagnosed some sort of wasting disease and no medications tried so far seem to work. The crystal is shaped like a primitive chalice (natural formed that way). I don’t know exactly what sort of it is, but it's red (inside) and black (outside) which served my needs quite well.

Vampire Glamours:
The vampire is an intrinsically glamorous creature, able to alter others' perception of itself. Vampiric glamoury is most usually a part of energy vampirism. The vampire will create glamours in order to make its feeding more efficient. The most common example of glamoury of this sort may be found in sexual vampirism, where the vampire will project various attributes in order to make herself more alluring to her prey.

Working With Vampiric Entities:
Vampiric magick, in my opinion, also includes such things as working with vampiric entities like incubi and succubi, as well as various deities.

Attaining Vampiric Qualities:
Some forms of blood magick fall under the description, as do rites which are designed to endow certain properties of the vampire upon the operator.

Magick For Use Against Vampires:
More common than any other form of magick relating to vampires, this is really rather irrelevant to this section. While a vampiric magician may well have cause to rid themselves of the attentions of vampires of various sorts, this is not intrinsic to the practice of magickal vampirism, and so will be dealt with in another article.Unlike mortal vampires (who also refer to themselves as real vampires), pracitioners of vampiric magick, although many have an affinity with the vampire archetype, generally don't feel that they have some innate need for energy or blood which must be fulfilled. They instead take up vampiric practices by choice, and often for a specific reason (e.g. as a form of magickal attack, to gather energy for a specific purpose, or because they find it pleasureable).

OTHER INFORMATION

What the Hell are Incubi and Succubi?
They are incorporeal sexual energy feeders, generally regarded to be a type of incorporeal vampire.In a masculine form, they are called incubi (singular: incubus), and in a feminine form, succubi (singular: succubus).

What do they look like?
Incubi and succubi have no specific appearance, generally taking their form from the mind of the person they're feeding. They rarely materialise physically (although they can be induced to do so through various rituals), preferring to appear in the dreams, or (more rarely) to induce sleep paralysis in the victim. They may also be encountered on the astral plane.Their appearance in dreams and astral states can be hard to discern from more conventional dream images, but it is worth noting that they are not good at the details of human anatomy, as they don't really understand it. Nipples, navels, similar apparently minor cosmetic details will often be blurry or indistinct, even when the entity is in clear focus otherwise. Such details may also be completely missing.When evoked into the physical plane, they will often not have a very clear appearence. Their evoked energy form will be visible and tangible to one trained in seeing such things, but they might even go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

What do they do?
They drain energy from their victim by causing or taking advantage of sexual arousal or frustration. In the middle ages, monks, nuns, and other celibates were particularly unfond of these beings, as they manifested to them with some frequency, due to the sexual frustration which is often an innate part of celibacy.Incubus and succubus experiences are usually pleasurable for the victim, and will only cause any problem if they are already extremely ill or weak, although they may not. Some vampires and vampiric magicians dislike these beings as they hate being drained of vital energy.It seems to only be rarely in modern times that an incubus/succubus experience will not be regarded as pleasurable. Generally, these will be situations in which the entity explores the hidden sexuality of it's victim (for example, appearing as a male to a homophobe). This exploration of hidden and forbidden sexuality is part of what made the Christian church revile them to such a great extent and regard having sex with them as so sinful.Thomas Aquinas, the darling of the Catholic Church and 13th Century founder of "scholasticism," believed that devils, in the form of succubi, performed fellatio on sleeping mortals. Then, as incubi, they used the seed so obtained to impregnate virtuous unmarried women in their sleep, thus producing half human/half demonic monsters. In fact, this was a convenient excuse for unmarried women who became pregnant, more often than not. Incubi and succubi are evidently incapable of fertilizing humans in any normal sense. However, this belief does inspire certain possiblities in relation to creating a magickal child of some description.

How do they come into being?
There are a number of theories as to how these beings are created in the first place.Some schools of though theorise that they are created by the more powerful beings they are often found serving, such as Lilith. Practitioners of more materialistic paradigms regard succubi to be entities created by their victim's own mind.It has also been theorised (possibly after the consumption of large ammounts of intoxicants) that a practitioner could cooperate with a succubus to create a Tulpa or Moonchild, which would be a mating of sorts. Such a thing could have a number of results, and the method can be adapted to create both corporeal and incorporeal beings with innate succubitic tendancies.

How can you get rid of them?
They can be prevented from attacking by using substances such as salt and gold, and may be got rid of with a simple banishing such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram or one of it's derivatives (the Gnostic Pentagram, for instance). Dream catchers are also generally reported to be effective against their attacks upon the sleeping. They can be eliminated by being completely drained of energy, although this is blatant cruelty towards a largely harmless entity.

Where do they come from?
Regions of origin: The terms "incubus" and "succubus" are European in origin, but similar beings appear in the mythology of most regions of the world. As they are incorporeal, geography is largely irrelevant. They are related to (although possibly not the same as) beings such as Mara and Night Hags, which, while they also take their appearance from the minds of their victims, are often more nightmarish in their appearance, feeding on fear rather than lust.

Are they dangerous?
No, not really.On rare occasions, swarms of these entities will attach themselves to one person, and will be able to physically affect them. As ever, this experience is generally harmless and pleasurable assuming the victim is healthy and suffers no strange repressions regarding sex. It can be rather exhausting to them, though. Under such circumstances, banishing and the use of appropriate prophylactic talismans is recommended should they subject wish to get rid of the beings.Some mortal vampires and rather more vampiric practitioners can project themselves into dreams in order to feed in a manner similar to that of succubi. It is also possible for corporeal vampires (of various sorts) and vampiric practitioners to feed on sexual energy in just such a manner as the incorporeal succubi and incubi. Such magicians can also evoke, invoke, and summon succubi, among other entities, and can "create" one with a specific form to send to a chosen victim.Incubi and succubi often form an entourage to more powerful entities, particularly those entities with vampiric and sexual associations.These beings are attracted by the use of magick as well as by sexual desire and frustration. Once they decide they like someone, that person will generally receive multiple visitations over the course of his or her life. Some people regard the exchange of a little energy for the sexual pleasures offered by these beings to be well worth it, and will seek to encourage visitations by them.

(Only use when you don't have a donor)

1: Sit still and focus.

2: Close your eyes if you can type without looking at the keyboard, like I can do.

3: Focus on that person's energy.

4: Try astralling yourself to where they are. When you think you can see them, (helps if you have a pic of them in their profile).

5: Ask them questions like, "Are you wearing a red shirt??" or something.If they answer yes, to whatever you asked them, then it is working, and just keep focusing.

6: Type what you are doing -- meaning, if you are seven feet away from them, tell them.

Kinda like roleplaying and such online ... let them know everything you are doing; like walking up to them, touching them, etc.

Now, feed from them. Take their energy as if you were biting them and draining their blood.

I know it's psi, but still, work with me here. I did this, and walked up behind the person, bit down into them, and took their energy. I took their negative energy because that is what I feed from.

Epiphany Wycca

is a semi-feminist tradition of Dark Wycca and/or Gothique observed by the members of House Scarlet Moon. This tradition upholds the Wiccan Rede and celebrates Nocturnal Sabbats and Esbats. Dark Wycca has come about due to the gothic movement and practitioners need to the balance of dark and light. Epiphany Wycca focuses on a Dark Goddess path. Practitioners tend to work with the Maiden Goddess Persephone, the Mother Goddess Lilith, Kali, and the Morrigan, and the Crone Goddess Hecate. Each member tends to find comfort with a different Vampyric Male Gods or DemiGods such as Set, Draco, Draconis, Cain, or more personal vampyric spirit guides. We also incorporate sigil work from the Goetia, Necronomicon, and the Ceremonial structure of Temple of the Vampire.
