The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

ok ppls. do you think that "vampirism" and "witchcraft" or even having the soul of a demon inside you can be inherited or passed down....even skip a generation or two? YOu know is in your DnA or something you evolve into?

I suppose anything can be inherited in our DNA. I'm not sure, but I tend to believe I got my psychic ablitites from my mum maybe that as well mum was a strange one at times.......

ah i see....ive iherited some of my powers from my moms side of the family.

I do believe that somes people are born with ability most poeple cant understand. All you have to do is look around and you can see. And also think pople can also practice it til it consumes them totaly.
Evil or Good

I think it can happen for some.. But i'm nothing like my parents, nor anyone else in my family.

I believe that there could be a genetic predisposiotion to psychic power, or strange abilities

hmmm genetic lets see both my sisters are on here my brother is on here and so is my niece oh yeah definately genetic oh and there was medcine women in my family way back

it depends whether the knowledge of the vampire transformation went along into the development of the child. Many people don't know of their precarious states, that they are physically vampires all their lives. Light skin red hair, freckles, would all be indicative of being born as a vampire. Unfortunately, when a dark haired man produces a child fair, he is not going to teach the child how close to the edge they are.

If the vampire child does get the knowlegde of his genetic formation, then there is no cliff near crib and the child even has the chance to reverse vampirism, tap into it's powers, and protect itself to lead a happy life, with no threat to an untimely end.

I think it can be in all possibilities.

It can be in the DNA,even from a very past generation or it can be learned.

Scientists are the ones who survey the geneome, they are Phds, or Doctors in their fields. They must take the smae hypocrisy oath as all the other doctors. If something in the genes speaks to us, then why is their still a question to the amount of breast cancer cases on Long Island? I know the reason why, and the scientists know the reason why, but you don't know the reason why. The genes do talk, but no one is listening, scientists are asleep at the wheel for us, we are carsh landing into a Long Island scenario.

Beautiful women bought by men with fortunes from broken hearts, propagates cases.

I wanted to paint a jacket

you ignored me when I was beautiful

now you have your rich fugly baby

now I am rich and still beautiful

so are you happy now you made me sad?

IMO, as far as genetic predispositions for psychic abilities and witchcraft, a resounding yes ! ....vampirism, a big fat no :o)

I think it could possibly be inherited from the DNA. My grandmother is a type of psychic (don't ask, I don't care to elaborate) and I inherited that. Also the fact that things like being a psychosociopath can be passed down, so why couldn't things like this?

it is knowledge which corrupts the mind simple complex to psycho pathic trips of soul leakage, drip drip drip, DNA waste away, letter by letter deoxyribonucleic acid burning eternal.

The genes can change, but the mind born without the virus of the knowledge has no idea how to dominate until they take the trip been shown the door.

personally i dont think they can be passed down through DNA if the parents teach the children then its learning but not in DNA. its a gift that is given to you through somthing else. because whoever/whatever thinks you can handal that gift cause i know some cant.

There are indications that all abilities and even a predisposition to certain behaviors can be inherited from our predecessors.

However, it goes back to that old "nature v. nurture" debate.

One can be nurtured to have abilities - but the greatest in any arena must already have some natural inherent ability.

genes are passed down. but the creation of magick is a gift to people because somthing thinks the people deservs it.
magick can not be passed down if more than 5 members of a family have this gift it is remarkable. but to say its in DNA. for one im a witch and none of my family have ever been so and i have a natural talent for it.

There is still a lot that modern medicine doesn't know about genes, DNA, and the like, so I'd say there is definitely a possibility of SOME sort of connection between magickal gifts and genetics. Perhaps it CAN be passed down, but isn't always? We may never know, especially the way science/medicine approach the metaphysical aspects of things...

maybe im not trying to say its not possible all together. its just tht most witchs i known have not had a single witch in their familys and most can trace back to the early 1200's

Well, not being a born witch myself, I can't say I know much about the "passing down" of the gift between family members. In my experience, the gift of vampirism isn't always passed along either, as I am the only vampire in my immediate family....

Angel4Blood:

I don't normally talk about this because it seems fantastical to some, but there are real witch families out there. They are few and far between because many of our ancestors were assasinated during the Inquisition and the Burning Times.

I come from a family like this - my mother's family has had a witch in every generation. A family historian has documented several "witches" in the bloodline and one was even burned in Scotland in the 1500's.

It is very rare to meet people that come from generations of this background. I akin it (in some ways) to the desecration of the Jedi in SW: Episode III. There were a few left that were able to reinstate the "Force" and later were able to expand it into the galaxy in the continuing tales of the Jedi in the book series by "awakening" others to their Jedi potential.

In other words, these kinds of abilities lie latent in those that possess them until they are "trained" in how to use them. I have noticed that there are many more people struggling with faith who have turned back to the Old Religion. It is a great wish of mine that your children and their children will meet and know people who have been raised on the path of the Wise.

I think that it can be passed down in the DNA. It may skip a generation. It could also show up in pieces. For example, my family history is haunted with stories of vampirism; however, my brother only has the sharp canine teeth while I have the taste and extremely fair and sensitive skin. My parents show no signs of vampirism. In the same token, I don't think that DNA determines a person's fate. It's like schizophrenia. People can have the gene and not the disease while others have the disease. DNA is dependent on the environment as well.

i wasnt trying to offend you.
im not trying to say its not possible but i personaly dont believe in it.

i think, its in your soul rather than in the dna, if your brought up with somethink it then becomes the norm and you either carry it on in your own adult hood or you stop it because it did not captivate you as a child, but i also think, you dont have to be born to it, it can be somethink that intrests you and you evolve within it.

thats what i think its more like a soul thing than DNA

Well medically speaking YESyour DNA is what makes up your total genetic profile of your existance so ~sure why not it controls alot about you and who you are even mental unstablity can be passed on by your dna/ genes so hey ~~ I feel it is possibl;e of course I feel anything is possible ~~ alot is what DO YOU believe or think ya know??

vampires once had great brain chemistry, great soul, they were attacked for it. Witches are the good chemistry that has not been interfered with yet. The two are distinctly different. A vampire is always like the Jackson Browne album "running on empty" are running on empty in their gas tanks. They need love to stay sane, they need involvement in the community to progress and reverse the progress of the erase of their minds.

Testosterone causes bone growth in males, there fore I believe males have larger canines due to male hormones.

Witches are genetic, yet if they aren't instructed then they are latent. Even vampires don't know who they are at first.

There is always a topic on awakening I don't understand. What I figure from the awakening, is when we realise what we could be, and like so many astute young men on this site search to refine the powers. Female witches seem to do it in secret.

Men do not share either. It just so happens that a variety of forces allows me to share what I have received for I have the surplus in spades. There is enough money, there is enough accumulation of soul, of power, of manuscripts nearly bound, just not enough time to make a coup for another ten million from all that I come into being, so I am froced to share these things on a another level with all of you.

I was good anyways. I do sit on a lot, but I answer your questions. As it turns out I am glad I am running on empty, being forced to share wisdom because of time restriction of life span, I can go against human nature and share. When I do nurture you guys, you provoke me, make me dig deeper, and I come out with more.

I told my writing apprentice the other day in an email, right now I am not purely projecting. I am absorbing through projection. As I project to you guys long held firm beliefs I find the truth. This site continually blows me away. The things you force me to understand when you say VITS99 you are wrong.

You all challenge me and as I try to make you greater, your resisitence makes me greater. Life definately improves the older you get. Grand parents are always the happiest peeps.

anything and everything can be passed down through DNA. but having the soul of a demon passed down is complete asanine

I believe it. I sometimes wonder if i didn't get it from my mother...

hmm for magic and demon souls i personally dont think so... but it is definatly possible...

for vampirism yes.. as two vampires can have a child thats a vampire is what i believe

i do believe that dna plays a part in it but also if the person never knows about their heritage then they never fully become a witch or a vampire unless by chance they discover it for themselves

When Watson and Crick did their wonderful work with DNA, it opened a window to finding out what makes us all who were all. Hereditary plays a part. Environment also determines what we become.

We all take something from our ancestors, be it the colour of our hair or eyes.

I don't see why you couldn't inherit SOME traits of spirituallity.

We must also keep in mind that the "gifts" of psychic ability and such isn't magick, nor is it witchcraft. magick is something practiced as is witchcraft. most mental abilities of the sort come unbidden until we learn to control them. I have visions and premonitions, they come mostly unbidden, I do believe that I inherited these gifts.

I beleive that everything is passed on through DNA/genetics.
We are the sum of our parts and our parts come from our parents.
Sorry mum!!

may be very possible that these things are genetic. all though the demon bound to my spirit has been with me though several lives.so it is not applicable

i guess in certian people it can be passed down but of course there are always exeptions. because i am not like anyone in my family

It is possible, even "bad habits" can be passed down through the generations. I sometimes think that my parents know more about witchcraft then they tell me about.

well the Irish drinking gene I think they have found

so if a behavior like drinking is genetic, then others may also be, but for the most part I believe we are monkey see monkey do, and we would be evil or distorted if the world was a better place.

bad brains are bad brains

that is definately inherited

there is a study done a very long time ago on feeble minded women

they looked back at family tree lineages, and saw who carried it.

This was long before DNA was an issue. Studying the genes and genetics was only done through watching family trees develop, that was why they used fruit flies in the 80's up till now, because they hadn't done the sequencing yet and fruit flies live for like 2 days if they are lucky

they also worked with peas at first, because of the quick turnover of studying genetics, Mendel was his name, I believe.

But they can tell if you got bad brains or not just from looking at your dna signature

it is a demon in your head inherited from the bad brains of the parents, the demons aren't even real, they come frfom nothing but chemical imbalance.

Dark Greeting's, Of course it's in DNA I am am Anth./Arch double majoe in college.I personally know some of us have a triple helix.Yes what science call's junk DNA is just part of DNA not turned on yet over 42% of mine is on 2 proffessors agree with me on triple halix.Just my 2 cent's. worth.
Dark Blessing's KA

i believe its both my parents have nothing to do with the supernaturl but a friend of mine whom is a witch has gotten it by her mother

I don't think its DNA. With vampirism its more a state of mind a feeling. I think that its more of a reincarnation. But with witchcraft that could possibly be contributed to DNA a passing on of knowledge through genes.

this is true but then again my friends mother was not born with a witch mother or father. she became a witch herself so it could be in everyone but just asleep and it needs to be awoken

Our family has several people who show spiritual/occult leanings.....name it, we seem to have it.....from bishops and priests to empaths, exorcists and mediums....even a few animists and witches thrown in for good measure....

ishta you can drink the dna right out of my blood, then you'll believe it is genetic, at least vampirism

and supernatural witch powers and esp all sorts of brain additives of evolution

for the new guy I think what you have there is a case of an RNA strand peeling off of the DNA double helix to make it look like a triple helix? Do you think that is the case, and if so how old are you and are you aging well? Because if the RNA isn't producing newer DNA, then you'll get old really fast.

Thanks for the scoop though.

I honestly think it depends on the person and their genetics. Anything can be passed down through genes, and skip here and there. DNA is a funny thing.

for the most part yes i do beleive that it can be genetically inherited as i have inherited generations of vampire blood and have continued the vampire legacy...so yes i do beleive it is/can be inherited...

VampLastat

to add more on what i was saying before...i do believe that it can be inherited but at the same time i do beleive that its a choice that the individual has to make personally...like alcoholism is genetic but the only way it can become a problem is if you let it become a problem so the coin flips both ways on this topic...after thinking about it more i think its a bit of both but sometimes more one then the other...

Yes, I believe it is possible, and I hate to disagree with the person that stated Vampires a big fat no, but there is a disease called xeroderma pigmentosum, it is one of the most rare illneses, and was given the name vampire disease because it is resemblent to vampire conditions, it is a genetic disease as well.

I think that through out time there have been sightings and as such in regard to vampires and the like. I doubt that they will just stop. If it is genetic and it could be. They may be a nearly extinct off shoot if not just a very well hidden one.

i have always thougth that their are two types of vampire, biological one, having to deal with dna, and satanic one, being a demon of a ancient time.

The passing of witchcraft and other unique powers are in the soul, not the dna. Dna is genetic makeup, but it is not our souls. there are some of us with very old souls and some of us that are new souls. new souls are the ones that are always asking questions, old souls jst some how know.
You can want all you want , but you either are or not, have abilities or you don't.
I am unique in my family..I am THE only one without glasses. Everyone on both sides have/had glasses and even my children do, yet I have better than normal eye sight yet I have light sensitivity, none of them do. I can project/draw energies and pains I do it for my kids when they are sick. I dont know where it came from it is just something I can do. I also can see auras, I can see good and evil, again it is something I HAVE ALWAYS had and been able to do.I have been told that I have a very old soul, also that I have met someone before and I have NEVER seen them ever!!!!
Therefore, I am convinced it is in the soul, not in DNA. Your soul is not a tangible object, your body is.

if vampirism is a transformation, if we can all agree on that, and if the chemistry of the body is altered, including brain chemistry, and the DNA is responsible for the configuration of body processes and how they run, then if the vampire makes the transition to a new body, is it not fair to suggest that the physical chamical and biological change of the vampire is inherited by it's offspring?

It is really not that complicated folks.

I think everyone is in aggree ment that the power of supernaturality in terms of psychic gifts is definately something that is both handed down by people with acuity for such talents and also welded into our brain chemistries by the evil of life to derive new ways of projecting evil upon the map of the world. If the brain is used to running a certain way from being messed with by life, and if there is a 10% ability from the parent given to the child by the attack of the environ on the mind, and then with that enhanced acuity or ability in the child, would it not be fair to say that standing on the shoulders of their parents, and getting the fleas of their thought from sleeping eating and living with their demons they have a newer predisposition to sense newer powers?

Is it not fair to say, for nothing is definite?

well take orphans for example, would an orphan know it's true nature if the ones who formed them were never encountered?

It is a common occurance for the orphans to seek biological parents to bring out the best of their nature with the bio parents nurture, for the ones who riased them named them, do not even know them, or even are from the blood enough to care on a level to complete them in their image.

latent mind abilities are there but not self aware, the self is given by the love of family, and without the power of blood joining, orphans can search their hole life for completeness. And never find it.

Nice question my thoughts which i pondered this a week ago on how n why i am wut i am is the it was pasted down by dna but also i thought of a comman mutation and also a will of a high being changing the dna to make one different hope this helps

Dark Greeting's, This has progrest quite well.Witchcraft can be passed on, Vamprism Isn't?As all evolve ,it is DNA. our future is in the 14-16 yrs.old. History repeats ever so often. WE Homosapians have evolved Vamp's must also evolve,sense they have a part in Human Eveolvation.
Dark Blessing's,Bite's and Kis's, KA

Angel-4Blood,I agree.LaMuerte youcan learn,but DNA play's a part,Kelso60 You'r right,Thhere is always an exception to everything,Kodos. Ishta,Where does the state of mind come from?
Dark Blessingt's,

Well, it could be in the genetics, but I think that it is more that you kind of turn into it as you go along. It is like your soul has the predispositon to become what we are.

I think things like that can be passed down by genes, but on reflection you choose what you want to be and what you are intrested in contributes to the way you are.

I think that vampirism can be passed down. It's in the blood. Some are made yet some are from genes passed down.

here is something I just posted from a related thread on baby vampires, it applies to this topic.

prototypical homosapiens had different diets thus different teeth,

ancient genes are always in the fabric of the puzzle pieces of life, there are advanced humans wihtout wisdom teeth because of the narrowing of the jaw in time, due to evolution and what others find is sexy,
ancient genes of different sets of teeth arise every now and then especially if the the genome is under attack. The fact that her skin is white means that her parents or forefathers went through a transformation to lose the skin tone, it can be covered up, but also some genes lies dormant and then express themselves in the lotto ball pot luck formation of genes in baby making.

If you were born with fangs, you would look in the mirror and think of nothing else to do with them but to sink your teeth in all the peoples necks who think you to be strange.

The other forces of evolution are based upon sexual selection, than someone is keeping fangs in the gene pool because they think it to be sexy, the more people with fangs that impregnate women, the more fanged kids there will be, and the more men are attracted to women with fangs, and white skin the more babies that come from them will have these physical features.

Things like having 5 wisdom teeth stick around for everyone has a piece of the puzzle in terms of what is needed to be harvested to make a new child. Some have no wisdom teeth and are highly evolved, but to get to a very evolved state it takes mistakes in baby making to get there, so we have to dip into the gene pool of fanged women to keep the more highly evolved race of humans alive. We will never be separated from our ancient roots.

That is the science of it.

How interesting! Yes I think that it is entirely possible for it to be passed down or even skip a generation. However, as for myself, I have no idea which side of the family I could have inherited my abilities from or even if it exists in my family. I will have to look into that!

C'mon people, what are we talking about here?! We use 10% of our brains! All the abilities you have and much more were in our genes from the moment we were born, the only question is how much and which of them we will bother to unlock.

Well, although I do believe things can be past down through your DNA, I do also think that you can adapt certain characteristics as you get older as well that no one else in your family could have. In my case, I do have many characteristics that are past down, such as psy vampirism, and strong sense of intuituism.

Hmm, interesting ponderment. I would say that the abilities that are derived from our DNA would be able to be passed down, whereas, say, being possessed by a "demon" would be the result of another cause. I would surmise that your DNA would be a factor in whether or not one is more susceptible to demon-possession.

well the 10% of what part of the brain we use is probably different in everybody.

The thing that I failed to mention in the cut and paste job (oh how horrid!) was that there are some genes or traits that can be buried for a very long time. There is this hot bartender in my hood with a black mate, they have two blonde and blue eyed kids. Obviously somewheres along the way, there was some of that in him. I know it is impossible, because blue eyes I think have to be double expressed becuase they are not dominant, still, somewheres in the black guys seed was blue eyes, for without it, having a blue eyed blonde kid would be impossible. It could be very many generations back. very many.

I think everything can be genetically transfered or given/learned in terms of abilities and existance

I suppose anything can happen... through DnA or anything along those lines... if something runs in your blood then it runs in your blood... I don't think there is really any way around that...

my witch powers came from my gran but missed my mom so yep i belive

Coming from a family where there isn't just one I'm lead to believe genetics of some sort could play a part.... maybe. However if you function under the beliefes of reincarnation and "the beacon" then it could also just be souls just finding each other.

Ok so maybe I'm out in left field a bit but why not consider all the options.

DNA is our geneticals but i don`t beleive such like psyc will be inherited from other person.

first i guess you would have to believe that there is a link between your dna and your spirit/soul anything that that can be consumed can become an addiction like alchohol and it is believed that alcholics can pass down there genetics to their children and make them potential future alcholics......why stop there i am a chocolate junkie does that mean my kids will be?....lol....also one has to wonder if more than one spirit/soul can inhabit a body at a given time......this is a good thread many questions few answers.

Since we all gain traits handed down to ud through our lineage,the possiblilities are endless,skipping a generation,of course it can,with so much still unknown about dna,whos to say really what is or isnt in our genetic makeup

actually i do believe it is possible and it believable becuase i am very good at empathic ablility which were on my mothers side and being able to predict ones movements which came from my fathers side so yes.

I think that the magical aspect can be inherited. This is because it's kind of like a mental disorder. NO OFFENSE INTENDED! But it's a sort of mind issue. If a parent has it, or believe they have it, the child or grandchild could inherit it.

alot of traits arwe inherited from DnA, and i believe magic and psychic abilities must be too...however i believe that it does not skip a generation but that due to its nature and the nature within society people may choose to surpress it within in them and that their children inherit it and use it... i do not believe that you can find it later on in life unless the seed is already there as a base but with the right training it could reach remarkable levals...

I think it's very possible that it can be passed down but not to everyone. If you look at a lot of people who have some sort of "ability" they also have parents with the same kind of ability, but at the same time they may have a sibling who doesn't have that ability or any other.

I think it is most definitely coded in the dna but somthing is needed a catylyst of a sort shock to the system near death experience or being arround other vampires/ Kin there are a few books that are good that talk about genetic coding and catylysts that can accelerate or causea wakenings so to speak ther is one by a member of the dragon society nicolas devere called the Dragon legacy that is particulary good and worth a interesting read..

~Shadowdancer~
member of the dragon society and Coven of the bleeding hearts .
shadowlore and a ton more lolz..

As for witchcraft and demons, I know nothing except for the ramblings of fiction.
Vampires inherit the DNA. A gene lies dormant until the bite which triggers it, unless the family has a potent gene which will trigger on its own at the right time of development.

Being the only one in my family like me i believe that you evolve into what you are. Whether or not i can pass this on to my children i will have to exprience when i have them
