vampires? werewolves?

Question

How do we really know there is no such thing as vampires or werewolves? If there is such a thing, I would assume they would go to great lengths to conceal their true identity. I for one, would love to have the pleasure of meeting such a being.

Answer 1

There are vampires and werewolves, it's just nothing at all like how Hollywood portrays it. In fact, most of what we think we know about vampires and werewolves was created by Hollywood for the sake of making movies and has no bearing on reality.

The ancient myths about werewolves involved people donning skins, invoking the spirit of the wolf, and losing their humanity. There's a woman called Lupa who lives in a national park and becomes a wolf nightly. I met her, and I saw her lose herself to the spirit of the wolf

Lupa was at a Pagan festival. She mostly kept to herself, except for at night when she would don the wolf pelt and dance around the fire, invoking the spirit of the wolf, giving up her humanity, losing herself to the spirit of the wolf. She was naked except for the wolf skin, and her body was lean and toned like a wolf. After she was finished dancing, she went off to do I know not what.

I heard that she was nineteen, but her face showed more years. She could speak, but rarely ever did. She might have been a bit feral

I had just gone through a shamanic vision quest to find and merge with my spirit animal, which was far more domesticated (dog) so I was a bit leary of her, however it did give me a much greater insight into what she was doing. She was one of the most fascinating people at the festival, and for a Pagan festival, that's saying something.

Since then I have done quite a lot to strengthen the relationship with my spirit animal, with surprising results.

Dogs have amazing senses of smell. One time a friend and I collaborated on a lot of energy work and established a psychic connection. Sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.
"Did you just make cookies?"
"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"
"Did you just disinfect something?"

I did have an invocation go awry. I was in a public ritual, and part of it involved the invocation of our spirit animal. While most people were taking on the physical attributes of their animals, I went in a different direction and took on the personality of the animal. And then the ritual ended without the animals being completely released. I tried to ground through fire and singing bowls, but I was a horror to be around for the next two weeks until I got it out of my system. But I must admit that I now have a much deeper understanding of my spirit animal.

One of the most notable figures in werewolf mythology was the Greek king Lycaon. Stories differ on whether Zeus turned him into a wolf as punishment or reward for his sacrifice, but because of the story every year people made sacrifices to Zeus in the hopes of being a wolf for a little while.

But most of the werewolf stuff (getting scratched and turning into a werewolf, silver bullets, only changing on the nights of the full moon, etc.) was invented by Hollywood.

Vampires are real on many different levels.

When you talk about vampires, most people think of blood suckers. There most certainly are blood vampires.

I've only ever drank my own blood; sucking on a wound, or laying on my back with a bloody nose. Nose blood; not the greatest, but I wasn't totally grossed out. Wound blood; not so bad. So even as a complete non-vampire, I can't claim that I regard human blood as a completely disgusting thing to drink.

As for the vampires I've met, drinking blood is an amazing and wonderful thing. It's all about that life force energy, and blood carries that energy. They say that just reaching out and draining someone of their energy is the greatest high, but drinking blood adds a thrill of sensuality. Feeling as it enters their mouth, still warm. Swallowing, physically taking the life-force inside of them. Tasting someone from the inside. They talk about it as a real thrill. Amazingly sensual.

Also, AB negative blood is supposedly the tastiest. It's a little sweeter than most blood. They say that an AB negative diabetic is like a candy apple.

Many people drain those around them of life force energy, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy, and some are better at it then others. Some can contact you from far away in the vision realm after having looked you in the eyes and made a karmic connection, and take your energy. But the best is when they can just reach out and take it, draining a person until they fall on the floor. They say it's far better than caffeine. These are the energy vampires.

One time I was doing energy work and had a sign up which said, "Energy". Several energy vampires came to the booth thinking that it was like a bar for vampires to get energy. They might have gotten some energy from it, but mostly I learned a lot about how vampire energy works. What most struck me was that all the chakras were open except for the base chakra which was completely blocked. One wore shoes with extremely thick rubber soles to help block the grounding energy. They didn't draw energy from the earth, and grounding limits the excursions into the vision realm.

I have a good friend who can willfully drain energies. She's the only energy vampire I know who only uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.

One time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. She looked down again, and looked up and he was sitting 10 feet from the window. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire, although she recognized him as a kindred spirit. Had she left the blinds open, there is no telling what could have happened to her.

It probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence. So there might be another kind of vampire out there also. The vampires of myth and legend might be roaming the earth after all

For the most part, werewolves and vampires are secretive. The general public isn't prepared to deal with such things, so it is much easier to disregard them. People tend to regard vampires as goth posers, or look to medical conditions as the source of the legends. A real vampire would be a magickal being, and few grown-ups allow themselves to believe in magickal beings unless they are sanctioned by their religions (for instance Christians tend to believe in angels but not faeries). Werewolves are quit litterally invoking the beast, and so are guilty of witchcraft, and were persecuted for much of history. Such lack of understanding in the general public is difficult to overcome, and so leads to secrecy.

Answer 2

These were creations of human minds, who did not understand things at that time because of lack of knowledge (not intelligence) to explain things that could not be ordinarily explained.

As far as your meeting with one is concerned, some of the stories (and there are many with different nature/s, prowess, behavior attributed to vampires, werewolves, dragons and such), well you would probably end up dead, maybe with no trace of you left at all, not even your undead body.

Over time the unexplained has lead to humans creating mythical beings such as the unicorn, mermaids, etc. A vampire or a werewolf is a fiendish variety of such human creations.

Answer 3

It would be cool indeed. But I think it is just fantasy. The world is full of miraculous stories, I think some people want to believe that some "magic" is out there.
I love fantasy. I'm a Dungeon and Dragon fan. But I have to deal with the fact that I'm in a real magic less world.
So I escape once in a while, and it's been too long LOL.

On the flip side to your question, hiding such a powerful secret would be difficult indeed. Think of how many governments would want to exploit that power. I think it would have been uncovered by now.

Answer 4

A) I am sure that, despite the individual's best efforts to disguise their vampire or werewolf nature, that, at at least one point in history, one of them would have to have been discovered and recorded, and B), if you were a vampire or werewolf, why would you want to hide your identity? I would go buy a shotgun and take over the whole town.

Answer 5

we don't really know that there is no such thing. We shouldn't know. We cant handle the truth.

Answer 6

think about let us imagine that there is one vampire or werewolves each week there population doubled so in 32 week all the humans became vampires!

Answer 7

You would have pleasure for about 2 seconds before they ate you.

Answer 8

would take to long to explain it here. But no they did not exist.
in short, the belief came from people that were thought dead, to be in a coma and were buried.

look the rest up yourself.

Answer 9

well there are no deformed skeletons with fangs or wolfish faces, its the boogy man, like the devil, to scare people into shutting windows and buying tons of garlic.

Answer 10

To give something a name is to give it power. If there are enough people that believe in something then it is real...even if it is only real for them.

Answer 11

i only hope to find out.
Vampires seem like they would be more.." out there " if they did exsist.
And yet, there are so many differnt beliefs when it comes to the lifestyle of vampires.
(:

immortality makes me 'gasm
