Sexual Vampires

*Article courtesy of http://therian.wikia.com/wiki/Tantric_Vampire

Tantric Vampires, otherwise known as Sex-Vampires(some have styled themselves Incubi and Succubi) have a strong preference for feeding off of sexual energy. What that means, is that they need sexual partnerships to remain stable for long periods of time, or, in more extreme cases, sexual intercourse. As the name suggests, a Tantric vampire can create the desried energy through tantric-style ritual, deep meditation and/or vivid visualization. Many tantric/sexual vampires will feed off energy from a romantic encounter or interest, without the need for sexual encounter or excitement. This typically ventures into the realm of psychic vampirism, but is still practised by many tatric vampires.

Sexual vampires are vampires who feed on the life-force energies generated from having sex, especially the excess energies generated at the moment of orgasm. They can do so psychically and/or from bodily fluids. Female sexual vampires are sometimes referred to as succubi (singularly, succubus), and male sexual vampires are sometime referred to as incubi (singularly, incubus). Some will also refer to sexual vampires as tantric vampires. Others will refer to sexual vampires as pranic vampires. There is sometimes debate within the vampire community if referring to sexual vampires as pranic vampires is correct or not as there are some within the vampire community that refer to psi vampires as pranic vampires, which could lead to some confusion when talking about pranic vampires. Those that support referring to sexual vampires as pranic vampires argue that pranic energies and prana are two different things, and that pranic energies are energies related to sex while prana is just life-force energies. There are those that think the use of the labels tantric and pranic in reference to sexual vampires is an attempt by some within the vampire community at political correctness who feel that the term sexual vampire is derogatory and/or offensive or simply think that tantric and pranic "sound" better than sexual. However, it is also possible that those who use tantric or pranic when talking about sexual vampires are doing so to differentiate them from any link to behavioral psychology which seems to also be co-opting the term sexual vampire to describe a person who has a psychological need for attention (much like a psychic vampire) through sex.

OOC NOTE: This article's information is not limited to the RP, and details documentation of actual practitioners of tantric vampirism within the other kin community ... I happen to be one of them in actual life (or believe to be at least ;P ... Gods, You guys probably think I'm insane by now :P) But it's here for one of the convos I'm having with another RP. Also, the article's use of "Tantric" vampirism feels culturally appropriative of actual tantric practices, which have little to do with the sexual vampirism that I practice, so I changed it to sexual vampirism in the article - James M.

Fetch

Fetch

*Article courtesy of http://www.traditionalwitchcraft.com/Fetch

The ‘fetch is the ghostly double of a living person, also known as a doppelgänger, double, phantom, wraith, fylgia, taradh, puckril, puckerel or bid. This double haunts man during his life, and is a kind of guardian spirit, akin in some ways to a daemon or inner genius. It is held by some that this spirit attends man in his caul, and that if it is destroyed the man will lose his guardian spirit.

Such a spirit sometimes takes the shape of an animal, and has been identified with the notion of a witch’s familiar (see also fylgia). The animal shape of a fetch is related to a person’s disposition, which Paul Huson puts forwards as the basis of vampires and werewolves (see “Mastering Witchcraft”); this self-same idea is greatly expounded in Nigel Jackson’s book, “The Complete Vampyre”.

Although bound to the body, the fetch is capable of roaming abroad, either in the shape of its owner or in animal form, which is the basis of a huge canon of folklore (and an even larger corpus of witch arts). In witchlore the fetch is often sent forth in animal shape, normally as a hare, to carry out certain tasks, but if it should be injured then such injuries are transferred to the host in the corresponding body part. Elsewhere it is given that to see one’s fetch is to an omen of impending death, for the body has “given up its ghost”. Such roaming also accounts for the occurence of bilocation.

One’s fetch is further related to inherited fate and virtue. In the Northern traditions, it is held that on birth a person inherits a herditary guardian spirit, called a fylgjukona, which holds ones ancestral wyrd or fate and their luck. This being connects one to their ancestral inheritance.

To Break a Love Spell

For If you end up being one those special witches who is strongly gifted yet was unaware of this when you performed a love spell and you accidently used too much power and was unclear with your intent, and instead of just simply influencing him to think sweet thoughts of you, it turns into a full blown obsession binding. Or if you were simply unclear with your intent and petitioned some spirit to bind him to you. Or if you simply want to end the effects of a love persuasion charm because it doesn’t feel fun anymore ;)

* Picture courtesy of http://floraegypt.com/Shop/roses/12-white-roses-detail.html

Feed him/her/preferred gender pronoun pistachio nuts. As you break the casing on the nuts right in front of him, focus on the love spell breaking as well, the nets of influence shattering, his energy becoming his once more, and yours becoming yours. See any connection between you two breaking apart, and as he consumes the nuts, see any enchantments you’ve placed upon him sinking away back to the source of spirit, neutralized, and nothing more but pure, un-programmed power once more.

As you break and feed him the nuts, also whisper under your breath, “released are you now from my enchantments”.

During the break up, if possible, pour a glass of blessed water over his head, pretending it is out of frustration and anger over the break up.

Then when you get home, take a bath with 7 white roses, milk, and honey. Wash from the head downwards to your toes, and from inside outwards, and sink your head into the bath a total number of seven times, immersing yourself completely, before you come out. 

Let yourself air dry and then get into a fresh clean pair of white clothes, on fresh clean bed sheets sprinkled with some lavender blossoms, and go to sleep. 

A new day awaits :)

Happy Casting ;)

Note: Make sure your target isn’t allergic to nuts :)

To Make a Man fall in love with you.

Bake a Honey cake for him, and sprinkle a bit of you menstrual blood or semen into the batter.

Always stir clockwise and as you stir whisper sweet things into the cake and focus on your intent, seeing in your mind the two of you passionately in love.

After the cake is done baking, place a sigil you've created for the spell on the cake while focusing on your intent with the semen or menstrual blood to seal the spell.

Feed the cake to your man and make him yours.

Golems

The Golem

by Alden Oreck

In Jewish tradition, the golem is most widely known as an artificial creature created by magic, often to serve its creator. The word "golem" appears only once in the Bible(Psalms139:16). In Hebrew, "golem" stands for "shapeless mass." The Talmud uses the word as "unformed" or "imperfect" and according to Talmudic legend, Adam is called "golem," meaning "body without a soul" (Sanhedrin 38b) for the first 12 hours of his existence. The golem appears in other places in the Talmud as well. One legend says the prophet Jeremiah made a golem However, some mystics believe the creation of a golem has symbolic meaning only, like a spiritual experience following a religious rite.

The Sefer Yezirah ("Book of Creation"), often referred to as a guide to magical usage by some Western European Jews in the Middle Ages, contains instructions on how to make a golem. Several rabbis, in their commentaries on Sefer Yezirah have come up with different understandings of the directions on how to make a golem. Most versions include shaping the golem into a figure resembling a human being and using God's name to bring him to life, since God is the ultimate creator of life..

According to one story, to make a golem come alive, one would shape it out of soil, and then walk or dance around it saying combination of letters from the alphabet and the secret name of God. To "kill" the golem, its creators would walk in the opposite direction saying and making the order of the words backwards.

Other sources say once the golem had been physically made one needed to write the letters aleph, mem, tav, which is emet and means "truth," on the golem's forehead and the golem would come alive. Erase the aleph and you are left with mem and tav, which is met, meaning "death."

Another way to bring a golem to life was to write God's name on parchment and stick it on the golem's arm or in his mouth. One would remove it to stop the golem.

Often in Ashkenazi Hasidic lore, the golem would come to life and serve his creators by doing tasks assigned to him. The most well-known story of the golem is connected to Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the Maharal of Prague (1513-1609). It was said that he created a golem out of clay to protect the Jewish community from Blood Libel and to help out doing physical labor, since golems are very strong. Another version says it was close to Easter, in the spring of 1580 and a Jew-hating priest was trying to incite the Christians against the Jews. So the golem protected the community during the Easter season. Both versions recall the golem running amok and threatening innocent lives, so Rabbi Loew removed the Divine Name, rendering the golem lifeless. A separate account has the golem going mad and running away. Several sources attribute the story to Rabbi Elijah of Chelm, saying Rabbi Loew, one of the most outstanding Jewish scholars of the sixteenth century who wrote numerous books on Jewish law, philosophy, and morality, would have actually opposed the creation of a golem.

The golem has been a popular figure in the arts in the past few centuries with both Jews and non-Jews. In the early 20th century, several plays, novels, movies, musicals and even a ballet were based on the golem. The most famous works where golems appear are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Karel Capek's R.U.R. (where the word "robot" comes from), Isaac Bashevis Singer's The Golem and The X-Files. There is also a character named Golem in J.R.R. Tolkien's classic series The Lord of the Rings. Today, there is even a golem museum in the Jewish Quarter of Prague.

Sometimes, someone who is large but intellectually slow is called a golem. Other civilizations, such as the ancient Greeks, have similar concepts.

To Protect Against Vampires

Note: these are actual spells from Judika Illes’ Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells - James M. T

1. Basic Vampire Banishing Spell

Place fish nets over entrance doors and windows of the place you’d like to protect.

Allegedly the vampire must compulsively count all the knots before entering. He or she or (preferred gender pronoun) will either be caught int he sunlight or simply give up and find another home.

2. Basic Vampire Banishing Spell (2)

Taken from Indian Nomads

Wear an iron ring set with pearls. Remember to charge and consecrate the ring prior to its initial use. Cleanse the ring in incense/holy water/preferred cleansing agent following any encounters or close calls.

3. Basic Vampire Banishing Spell

Lilac oil reputedly repels vampires and is certainly more fragrant than garlic. It’s very difficult to find real lilac oil, most of what is commercially available is synthetic; presumably vampires can tell the difference. Make your own, the lingering aroma should keep the vampire out of the house, too.

Infuse olive oil with lilac blossoms.

Rub the oil on the body as needed.

4. Destroy Vampire Spell

Pour boiling water over any cracks or holes visible on the gravesite.

5. Destroy Vampire Spell (2)

Walk a horse back and forth over the grave repeatedly.

6. Get away vampire! Spell

Perhaps it is sufficient to banish a vampire, albeit from a greater territory than just your private home and presence. Simple enough - provided you have his sock.

The vampire’s left sock is needed, although perhaps this vampire interchanges socks like many people do.

Stuff it with graveyard dirt, preferably from his or her or (preferred gender pronoun) own grave, blended with rocks from the cemetery.

Toss this outside the limits of the area you wish to protect into running water, flowing away from the area.

With graveyard dirt remember to ask permission before entering into graveyard, make sure you have a protective amulet on you, leave some pennies at the gate when you leave as offering. Walk away, don’t look back and take a different route home than the one you used to get to the graveyard so no wandering spirits can follow you home.

7. Peppermint Vampire Banishing Spells

Peppermint allegedly repels vampires as effectively as garlic, and can be easier to administer.

8. Peppermint Vampire Banishing Basic Spell

Hang fresh peppermint leaves around one’s neck at bedtime. (This is also reputed to have an aphrodisiac effect, so maybe you’ll be too busy to worry abut vampires.

9. Trap-A-Vampire Spell

Vampires, like genies, may be trapped in bottles. Choose a glass or metal bottle; presumably the vampire can bite through the plastic one. This spell works on the same principle as a fly trap.

Place some kind of food the vampire likes inside the bottle, but not blood. This spell works on a vampire who is understood to have once been a person with predilections for human food. Find something particularly tempting and put it in the bottle.

You will know when the vampire is in the bottle when you observe a bit of straw or fluff within. Seal the bottle up securely.

The bottle and the vampire may be destroyed by throwing the sealed bottle into a fire.

Note: Root and Rock Inc. and James M. T does not guarantee the results of any of these workings or the consequences from performing them. As a result of legal reason, I must say that they re presented here as curios and entertainment only.

Happy Castings ;)
