The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Would you dare divulge what makes/made you the creature that you are?

Since I am no vampire/vampyre, demon, wiccan, or any thing other than a flawed human, it is interesting to me to find out how one had come to his/her self - the creature/being one is at the moment.

Heredity and the impacts of environment has molded me into what I am today. I am young in years compared to others and not wiser than any one for that matter. If influence be of importance to one's self and may i say personality, I would say my father was a great factor in what I have become but never will I point to any one to have made me but will say only that they have influenced me in more ways than one.

For me, i was raised atheist but always felt there was more. I dont know what drew me to it but even as a kid i knew there were other beings out there.

i started reading about religions around 8. then choose wicca at ten. by the time i was 12 i was a practicing pagan. at 15 i joined a coven and paranormal research group. (much to the dismay of my mother)

I always felt spirits and convinced all my "imaginary friends" were ghosts as a kid. i've met so many different sorts of people and seen many other things that i know there are other beings among us.

its just what i always sensed around me. if it were up to my mother i'd be a atheist straight laced teacher. not the pagan, tattoo artist that i am. :)

I'm sang and have indulged in blood drinking, and other things such as sexual magicks and mysticism. That in part shapes who I am

I'm not exactly sure what i am , i suppose i'd come under the heading of astral vampire , hag , mara ect . I came about this path by being repeatedly visited by these creatures from a very young age . At around the age of 15 i began to have repeated out of body experiences and now find myself being able to leave my body and seek out others . What i do to them is to basically effect an energy release by scaring the crap out of them . I'm now learning how to sink into another's psyche and observe and manipulate dreams in order to effect a more prolonged release of fear . It's ridiculously hard , and i fail 99% of the time , but there's a deep drive in my soul to follow this path , so i keep trying .

I owe my whole interest in these things to my demon ( astral vampire ) who visits me regularly and he never disappoints . In an attempt to explain these supernatural visits i became deeply interested in the occult , witchcraft and vampirism . Although these outside interests have provided lots of information about all sorts of stuff , they really haven't given much valuable information on "Hagging". It something that really only comes form building upon previous experiences . I think i've created and realised my potential in the astral and i'm continuously breaking new ground which creates renewed enthusiasm and drive .

There is not one thing that makes me who I am. I am the culmination of everything I have been through, everything I have thought, and many more things besides. And I am always growing, always learning more, always changing. I am always a teacher, and I am also always a student. There is no simple way for me to define who I am, or even what I am. I am me.

In the long path of understanding why I do what I do and how it can be understood… im a witch that uses energy to alter reality around me, I walk astral realms and feed on sexual energy thus my incubus understanding.

I believe there are many components to who we really are but that we also evolve according to circumstances, and belieg systems whether by traditions handed down or experiential choices

I think Mel called it right, we are... I am... a product of my enviroment/family/connections made.

I can be assured of this, as my natural brother, with the same looks and traits as I... is ever so diffeent, in ever so many ways.

I am a hybrid vampyre but also a demon host. I believe that my demon has shaped me that most and sometimes it good or sometimes it's bad. But to be perfectly homest I have no idea how I am what I am. I wouldn't dare change it

I am a sang vampire and I enjoy drinking blood... (don't be worried, I will not bite without consent)

My friends know about my vampiric nature and they are cool with it. My mum and my sister knows about it but I have made it a personal rule NOT to feed from family....

My life is full of supernatural experiences as I consider myself to be a pagan.... as is my mother and my sister... I also read Tarot..... I believe that my Tarot readings are what have defined my life and my friends and family have been positive influences in my growth and development as a person.

I hope that this is relevant in this thread....

Family, Life Experience and Society helped mould me for a time, until I learned to be who I am without masks. I saw my faults but never saw my virtues and as soon as I did that I stood on my own and became the person I know myself to be. My creativity is the strongest thing that has moulded me into the person I am today.

We are a reflection of Society. However the questions remains as to what is Society. There are vastly different groups that call themselves Society. SOciety has produced a me. I am a product of my upbringing and rebellion.

i research all things and i think that makes me who i am. since i research all things, i feel that they all have a part in making me, me.

Normal is boring. I don't think I am anything magical, except that normal people are easy to predict and I am good at that. And I believe that the fierce need to protect my children started me down the road I am on.
I stay there by choice. Now, the need to experience a preys fear and slaying is imperative. There is something magic in the hunt.

found the thread title the interesting bit.
I am many things, empathic, overly sensitive to light; overly imaginative, a thinker; a .... but it was bein bullied, for being different, that helped create my strong sense of self, that helped form the identity I have now.

a sense of self, that allowed me to stand proud, during times that might have crushed me, otherwise.
