I've been thinking lately about the dominant vampire origin paradigms of awakening and initiation. Awakening is becoming aware of an innate, inborn vampiric quality within oneself and initiation is being brought into vampirism by another person. Over the years of my interaction with the vampire community I'm inclined that it may be a combination of the two for many vampires active in the VC.
There is an innate quality that draws us toward others and interacting with them functions as an initiation.
I'll think about it some more and maybe try to flesh out my ideas.

I'm interested to hear your opinions on this.

I am new to the VC but have undergone an initiation process and I can see the truth in this idea. To be initiated one must go through a transformation.. one that wasn't possible before.. to transform one has need for an "other", the introduction of an outside force. In my opinion, of course.
