Some rough notes for my Vampiric Grimoire (planning stage) feel free to use and/or contribute your own perspectives.

"Energy vampire" is a misused term since all feeding in energy feeding, just in different forms.

So I've made some brief notes on Vampire subgroups I've made for a grimoire I'm planning.

🩸Sanguine vampires

Your blood suckers, these vampires need plasma (in small amounts) to access energy.

Since there's an abundance of literature on Sanguines, I won't reinvent the wheel here, however I'll remind everyone of the importance of consent & safety.

🍆🍑Tantric Vampires

Aka Succubi & Incubi.

Similar to Sanguines, however they feed via different bodily fluids.

The main difference between Tantrics & Psi Vampires (to be covered below) is their need for erotic contact & fluids.

Again, remember consent & safety.

Unawakened tantrics may engage in hypersexual or sex-addict like behaviours.

💔 Emotional Vampires aka Emphatic Vampires

These are usually mixed up with Psi/Psychic vampires as the latter can feed via emotions, in a limited capacity.

The best metaphor for these guys is the movie Monster's Inc. & how the factory converts screams (& later, laughter) into energy.

Emotional Vampires may feed by deliberately triggering people however many discover pleasant ways to feed such has becoming comedians or musicians.

Also typically found in Political & public speaking careers.

They also make great trauma counsellors.

They can feed in a similar way to Tantrics, however they end up getting really hurt and/or manipulating others when hungry...

🔮 Psi Vampires aka Psychic vampires, Pranic Vampires, Strigoi

We're the energy omnivores in that we can feed in the same ways as other vampires however these other methods aren't as effective.

The downside of this is it can take us longer to awaken as Vampires, we may get caught up in the "fluffy bunny" (the love & light toxic positivity) community and/or end up going through hypersexual stages like our Tantric kin.

Unlike Tantric Vampires, we can feed via online interactions & be fairly satisfied.

We best feed when close to someone we can establish a link with, physical touch can also enhance this.

Unlike others, we can distance feed either astrally or via meditation though this takes discipline.

Similar to emotional Vampires we can feed from crowds, though we send out our "tendrils" to nibble from the crowd's auras.

This isn't as effective as "deep feeding".

We can benefit from learning Reiki & other energy work however we must be careful to avoid unawakened vampires who work in those fields.

Feng Shui is critical for our living spaces & we benefit from learning what our Ayurveda Doshas & Humors (Greek medicine concept) are, adjusting our physical food diets according to those.

Unfortunately we are probably why it's believed that vampires burn in sunlight since we are especially sensitive & weakened by the sun & sensitive to other weather events due to the type of energy involved.

That said, due to our relationship with energy we are especially good at Weather Manipulation, witchcraft & energy healing.

While we may be drawn to careers in healing, we're often found in toxic workplaces due to our ability to feed from & transmute negative energy.

While we CAN feed via emotions like our Emphatic kin, we can become really unwell if force fed large amounts of negative emotional energy, e.g. people in crisis.

📝 Note on naming conventions;

I'll eventually expand upon these in my personal grimoire, and once digitised I can make it available either as a Google doc or even a Tumblr post.

I plan on updating the naming conventions to be more accessible to wider audiences

ie each "type" will be given a plain English name, an "old country" name inspired by old myths & a spiritual name for those more accustomed to spirituality.

E.g.

Psychic vampire naming conventions might resemble

Psi Vampire (Plain English)

Strigoi (Old country/mythos)

Prana Vampires (Spiritual)

The fun challenge will be creating a 3-name system for Sanguines 🩸🧛‍♀️

Speaking of unclean food...

For my fellow energy-vampire witches... while you can certainly curse your enemies or feed upon them until madness consumes them NEVER do both.

This is the psychic equivalent of baking your enemy a laxative filled cake only to eat it yourself.

Something I discovered the hard way

I feel like one fact we either forget or ignore about vampires is how unsanitary vampire feedings would actually be. Like human saliva is full of bacteria that are dangerous if they pierce flesh regardless of how often we brush.

Imagine if your vampire partner bite you and you get hepatitis B bc their mouth is full of numerous blood related diseases and deadly bacteria.

Lilith, a figure steeped in myth and legend, embodies the essence of feminine power in its most primal and unbridled form. Often depicted as a seductress, a demoness, or even a dark goddess, Lilith's story traverses the annals of ancient mythology, weaving together threads of rebellion, independence, and untamed sexuality.

In Jewish folklore, Lilith is believed to be Adam's first wife, created from the same earth as him, and thus demanding equality. Refusing to submit to Adam's authority, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden, embracing her freedom and autonomy. This act of defiance casts her as a symbol of feminine liberation, challenging traditional patriarchal norms and reclaiming her sovereignty.

Throughout history, Lilith has been both revered and feared, her power emanating from her refusal to conform to societal expectations. She represents the untamed aspects of femininity—the wild, the sensual, and the mysterious. As the embodiment of the dark feminine, Lilith embodies the raw primal energy that exists within all women, urging them to embrace their desires and unleash their true potential.

Lilith's power lies not only in her defiance of male authority but also in her role as a protector of women and children. In some traditions, she is invoked as a guardian spirit, offering solace to those who have been marginalized or oppressed. Her presence serves as a reminder that true power stems from within, and that by embracing our own darkness, we can tap into the limitless reservoir of strength that lies dormant within us.

In modern times, Lilith has emerged as a symbol of feminist empowerment, inspiring women to reclaim their voices and assert their autonomy in a world that seeks to silence them. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that true liberation comes from embracing all aspects of ourselves, even the parts that society deems taboo or undesirable.

Ultimately, Lilith's power lies in her refusal to be bound by convention, her willingness to embrace her own darkness, and her unwavering commitment to living life on her own terms. She serves as a beacon of hope for all those who dare to defy expectations and forge their own path in a world that seeks to constrain them.
