Answer 1

Being native american myself. I hold eagles, owls, and the buffalo dear to my heart and soul. In all that my life holds.
Eagles:
I dont remember how old I was, but I was just a little girl. I had went on a trip to Sea World. I dont remember who I was with, but I do think the trip was with a group. Anyhow, I went into an eagle show. There was maybe a couple hundered people that attended. I was sitting way in the back bleachers on top. The host of the show was talking about the eagles eye sight. Out of all of the people in the audience, he picked me to do a trick with the eagle. My part of the trick, was to hold up a dollar bill towards the sky and the eagle would come and snatch it out of my hands. Well, I did. I held the dollar bill up high. The eagle flew from down below the stage up towards the bleachers where I was standing. I saw the eagle staring right at me in my eyes the whole time it was flying towards me. It was a huge eagle. It was flying towards me very very fast. To fast, and as the eagle gotten closer to me, I ducked but I kept my hand in the air with the dollar bill. WOW. I was amazed and shocked because of how big the eagle was, how fast it flew towards me, and how frantic I got when it got closer; the eagle did not touch my fingers, nor did the claws. WOW. It really was a tremendous experience for me. Everything about that eagle was so beautiful. I will never forget that experience.
Owls:
I have been in the presence of owls many times. Once, there was an owl that was on a dirt road that I was on at night. The owl was just staring at me for a very long time. I dont know how long it was, maybe about 20 minutes to a half an hour. Maybe longer. I was just staring at it. I have had dreams of owls three times. I had a vision of a whole bodied owl. I love owls. They are soooo beautiful to me.
Buffalo:
I have never been in the presence of a real buffalo. The native americans hold the buffalo high in stature spiritually and as a nurturing animal in life. As it is believed that the buffalo is spiritually close with the creator. A nurturing animal that fed, clothed, and held many sustanences for native americans in everyday life. The story of the white buffalo woman is a very sacred omen to the native americans. The buffalo womans buffalo skins represent the relationship she has with the creator in being his wife. The white in her buffalo skins means purity with God. The native americans believe that her coming will someday bring resolution and peace to all peoples of the earth before the end of time. That is what her image and the white buffalo represent is the end of time. Because her image has always been so closely connected with the white buffalo. With the meaning of the buffalo having high stature with the creator in spirit means that when the white buffalo woman comes, also coming with her is the creator. Being that the buffalo is white, that is representation that God is in the presence of both keeping the element of purity to all that it symbolizes.

Answer 2

Vmpires are real in the sense that the act of vampirism is that of drawing the energy out of another being thus there is emotional vampirism, blood vampirism and the most often phychic vampirism thats actually when you re sitting in a room and you just feel your energy drained out. chances are someone has been sucking it out of you now the cinematography has given a very specific look to the vamps, but i think that vamps can be various creatures supernatural or not.... they can be plain human, no fangs and stuff now the widespreading of the vampires tradition in europe has a lot to do with lord dracula tsepes who used to live in romanian mountains. though he was a blood thirsty warlord with no mercy for his enemies, chances are he wasnt that supernatural but then again you know how the urban myths go and spread the fictional story based on the historical personality of sracula, which gained so much popularity on the eve of this century is responsible for all the vamp talk today. but all in all, a vamp can be anyone, me you, the cute little kid on the bus, the nice old lady and stuff like that esp people with low levels of energy (as kids, as they re growing up or the elderly as the grow weak) might be without knowing it energy vamps or pshychic vamps so be ware and shield youself when out in the brave world
