I'm an eclectic occultist but draw heavily on the Elements of the wise to orient myself correctly in the cosmos. Developed my own unique way through the wilderness and prefer not even creating a path for others to follow while exploring virgin places untouched by others.
In a nutshell it just means I use ritual magick to achieve my will but as a vampire means I include the use of people as my tools and alter. There is quite a vast scope of defining the vampire to me which has many different legends the world over that have evolved. At it's base of course are the sang or blood drinkers. I sometimes have a taste for it but don't need it. Beyond that there are all kinds of ways to feed as the same catabolic process is repeated on different scales in ones life. Thus the psi-vampire and the like are a natural thing and just by interacting with us the deeper the bond the deeper the feed. It really seems to depend on one's personality type and it's strength. Some are not fully formed in that regard so are not as awake as others.
This site alone has a vortex of many vampires and sympathetic ones that develop traits by being around real ones continuously; It works much like a magnet magnetizes iron around it. The strength of one's personality again determines how things are divided up. I may be a loner but I know myself quite well having my own counsel from supernatural sources where others depend on the lies they tell themselves as well as believe from others making them quite weak.
In the evolution of human medical advancement in the nights of yore, limitations like the four humors
where blood equated with life force, superstitions regarding creatures of darkness were conceived coming back from the dead to take it from the living. Also worthy to note when you have individuals who could manipulate subtle energy and have out of body experiences that allows one to circumnavigate space and time it can be misconstrued as departed ones projecting from their remains in the future or ghosts haunting places they frequent in life from the past when they were alive as a vampire rising from the grave to feed off of or haunt the living. In their absence after their death such subtleties are noticed but when alive not as much. Though most who are occultists in life are seen as vampires in death as well.
To me it's just a matter of perceiving things correctly. So this is how many of the superstitions developed in humanity not knowing any better. The many traditions of the vampire in legend avail worldwide in a similar manner.
Apart from that the works of gothic fiction concerning the vampire really captures my spiritual path in this life well so I draw on the legend of the vampire for this as a spirituality. Though I'm a mortal I do think one of the aspects of being awakened is knowledge of reincarnation and drawing on that power beyond the veil of death. I think everyone has an eternal spirit just becomes clear when you have awakened. To me everyone has their time in the waxing and waning cycles of nature. It is in mortality and a unique life that something gains its value. If it was shared by many for eternity then it would lose its value relatively. There is also power in blood covenants when it comes to the subtle aspects of the mysteries concerning one's microcosm.For me it is power in the act of making a blood covenant of one surrendering to another. One can get power from the blood if that's what they believe. I do but like father Sebastiaan relates in one of his books I can feed from any source and he redefines the term in sanguinese as being nosferatu. Yeah that's me-Nosferatu.
I don't believe in objective divine beings but as an occultist one may subjectively utilize such beings for the emotional power it generates to social creatures like those in society that have power over others like a judge as magick deals with raising energy to create change.
Spiritual beings are mostly just archetypes to me created by people's imagination to bring order and definition to a chaotic cosmos to the naive in the evolution of the human mind; For lack of knowing any better people just follow what their ancestors believed while knowledge in humanity slowly evolves over time. Much like the ancients thought the heavenly bodies revolved around the earth so too does divine creators revolve around the human ego. I however mainly work with the Elements of the wise and the forces of nature that I've conceived of from my unique experiences in life. I do have a connection or bond I made as a vampire to an Elemental being or nature spirit and it (more lifeforms outside sexual reproducing ones) helps me quite a bit that exists beyond the veil of the astral plane but is not a creator just a subtle creature made up of sublime energy rather than the base stuff we are in the mundane.
