"Pranic vampirism provides a dense energy
feed. One usually only needs small amounts of the donor's blood
(maybe an ounce or more) depending on your energy needs. It is
important to note that vampirism is both need based and ability
based. In blood vampirism, there is an ability to use the life
giving energy of blood and a need for it's dense energy
concentration.
The problem with many is finding safe donors. I recommend care in
blood feeding and blood play. Use a sterile and stainless razor
blade or lancet device and some type of anti-infectant such as
peroxide after the fact. I do not recommend using teeth to
puncture the skin. This can be dangerous for direct contact of
one's mouth with the inside blood of the skin. One should also
keep in mind that blood is a natural emetic and will cause one to
vomit if ingested too much and if one is both not use to blood
feeding or has never drank blood. The attributes of blood are
that it provides a dense form of the "life" energy and
so can do so in small amounts at a time. The problems that arises
is finding safe donors and practicing safe blood feeding. Care is
an important concern. Just about all with true vampirism have
some psychic vampirism but not as many are true need based blood
feeders.
Psychic vampirism encompasses the abilities to "absorb"
empathic or psychic energy from others nearby. Most true vampires
have some ability to do this. There are some who have empathic
ability (and I have met many with this) who can successfully
absorb the emotional energy of others. This is a double edge
sword however and so results in taking both positive and negative
emotional energy. The well developed vamp however can dispose of
the negative unwanted emotions in preference for wanted emotions
of love and enjoyment. There is much diversity here however in
the kinds of wanted emotional energy. Many are quite successful
in absorbing or the taking of psychic energies in the mentality
of other people and this can occur in the verbal and physical
energies one receives from the exchange between those around you.
In being sociable… can one easily feed on the mental auras
of those immediately around you. Psychic vampirism however is not
as reliable an energy source like the pranic sources of blood and
sexual energies. There is more space for a lessor energy exchange
with psychic vampirism. That in turn requires more of this energy
for a successful feed. The energy is more elusive and requires
good ability to assimilate and use it. But for those without the
benefit of a safe donor for blood vampirism, psychic vampirism is
a good alternative that allows one to keep well fed.
It does require the presence of people around you. I take some
days and spend them alone and with other days take the time for
the nightlife of clubs and parties or even music shows and
concerts where the psychic energy is usually more plentiful. Some
energy can be had thru elemental sources such as storms and other
weather phenomenon. This can be useful if the psychic vamp can
tie into it. Combining both pranic and psychic sources make for
the best energy feeds. This is not always possible but is a goal
for true vamps. Everyone is different in ability and need, but
one must make the best use of what is available around you. In
vampirism, the ability to multi source contributes to greatest
wellness. For it is this lack of our feeds that contribute to our
headaches and depression and the emotional and mental trauma we
know too well in this life.
I am a 44 year old vamp and knew of my bloodlust as a child when
I would hide in the closet and feed upon my self. My empathic
abilities and desire to psi feed came later as a teen. During
most of my adult life as an energy feeder, I have been a
blood/psychic vamp and found that I quenched my thirst with some
blood energy feeds a week, but found myself subconsciously psi
feeding all the time on the emotional and mental energy of anyone
around my space. Then came the time I found that combining my
feeding during sex became the ultimate energy feed for me, and
then I sent out for this in my hunts all the time. I realized
that I was living for those moments and nothing more. My energy
needs were well met as long as I sensed a worthy partner whom
freely gave me this ultimate feed. There would be dining in a
club with free flowing conversation where I could begin my energy
feed and this would be followed later by the blood feed with sex.
I lived for this ultimate energy need for many years always
living alone and thus kept my strength most of the time, usually
falling back on psi feeding when the other was not available to
me. And I would say that this is what sustained me over some
difficult times when my energy level was low. Now, I have one
regular donor whom I feed from, from a couple times a week to
several times, depending on when she is available to me. I do not
feed on the blood energy much anyone, finding that my psi
abilities/feeding with sexual energy provide me enough energy I
need for my strength. I am pleased about this arrangement as this
donor is quite committed to me and I do not need to hunt as I
once did. Maybe it is now my age but then most souls grow with
time and therefore change. I believe I have been fortunate most
of my life since I was old enough to know of the bloodlust as a
child. I knew I was born a vamp and so knew of my destiny early.
I still live alone and would not have it any other way. As for
the times I have found myself unable to feed, my life suffered
from lethargy and low energy levels. I can even recall times I
did not even get out of bed. There have been many years since
then, but I remember quite clearly the emotional and energy
drain. As for the moon, I get an energy boost monthly when it's
full and always look forward to this time."

How do we
handle the bloodlust we experience?
Some of us have this bloodlust and we must all take care in how
we handle it. Firstly, most vampires do not even require or want
the blood energy. For those that do, consuming too much of the
blood energy is not good for you. Amounts vary. For some it does
not take much, it just depends on how strong the bloodlust is
running. Some need just a few drops every so often. Others say
more of it and more often. If there is an open wound in the
mouth, don't ingest another's blood. This is a good guide to go
by. Your stomach acid will kill most things, but there is always
a risk, so great care should be taken here. There are too many
ills that blood can give, most notably AIDS, which has killed too
many. The virus scourge is among us and we must take care or we
would be fools like so many.
Blood play is indeed a sensual experience between two consenting
donors. It has always been so in my experience and I believe most
will enjoy it much more this way. Love is important in most safe
blood play for many and in order to accept another's blood. Then
there is combining the blood fetish with other energy sources
such as the life force or pranic energy from sex, makes for a
great energy transfer. Vampires have unique powers, empathy and
magic being among the strongest. The blood, the life force we
crave is the power within it. Through the years, many vampires
learn to handle the bloodlust. Yes we drink of the blood of
others but do not require it for life and some do not care for it
at all. One learns to control this craving to a certain degree.
By ingesting too much blood, one could get throat infections, and
also become very nauseated. Consuming large amounts of blood,
could cause you to become sick and vomit because blood is a
natural emetic. In small doses, as I imagine is true with blood,
there is a need to feed more frequently. But a strong and well
learned psi-vamp has a unique advantage over a blood vamp, they
can feed on an unlimited supply at one sitting without any real
harm. All vampires are psi- vamps to a degree, they use their
mind and body energies to manipulate the life energy they absorb
from others to fill the energy deficit that all vamps have. This
often includes controlling humans and reading minds, and using
the emotional energy to gain the energy needs of life. Most
vampires have these abilities, so they could all be referred to
as psi-vamps to some extent as few actually drink blood and those
that do seem to psionically absorb the life force and energy
within the blood. Psi-vamps seem to become a little more
energised by draining/contact, but they experience none of the
benefits of the blood or sickness as well. Feed well and be safe
about it..
Painless
Blood-Letting?
There are only really two methods which are really suitable. One
is the use of needles or sterile lancets and the other is
scalpels. You can get hypodermic needles and syringes from any
clinic, pharmacy/chemist, or hospital that is part of a needle
exchange program (the UK has an extremely good program of this
sort). They will also dispose of used needles. Lancets are
provided to diabetics to allow them to test their blood.
Suitable scalpels can be acquired from art shops; boil them if
you want extra sterility. Scalpels are much better than knives,
because they are so much sharper, thus making the whole thing a
lot more painless. Razor blades are also suitable.
For needles, I prefer to take blood out with a suitable size of
syringe, although it is possible to set up a catheter, or use a
lancet or needle (sans syringe) to pierce a vein, and suck from
it directly. The best place to take out blood with a needle is
from the vein in the crook of the arm. It's best to get someone
to teach you how to do this. You don't want to puncture an artery
by accident, or hit a nerve, or end up with bruises all over your
arm. Make friends with your friendly local junkie. The needle
kits will probably also come with some instructions for finding
veins. This will result in no scarring, and any marks should heal
up within a day.
Obligatory Safety
Notice: The use of clean and sterile works is as important for
magicians and vampires as it is for drug users. It's not a good
idea to share needles, however clean of disease someone might be
- it's rather easier to catch things from needles than it is from
drinking blood.
It's only advisable to use a needle a maximum of three times
before throwing it away; they blunt rather easily. DO NOT inject
someone else's blood, as blood of an incompatible type can and
has caused serious problems.
Scalpels tend to cause
rather more scarring than needles, as you have to hack through
quite a bit of flesh to get at your veins.
Always make a transverse incision (i.e. across the vein, rather
than down it), as these heal up more easily, and are less likely
to cause severe blood loss. Don't cut too deeply, as you may run
the risk of severing tendons.
Some scarring is probably going to result, so make cuts somewhere
innocuous.
If you don't need much blood, the back of the hand is
surprisingly good, as it heals easily for some reason, you don't
have to cut very deep, and no one pays attention to cuts there.
If you're worried about accusations of mental instability, DO NOT
cut your forearms. Upper arms are harder to find a vein in, but
at least they don't scream suicide attempt.
Vitamin E creams, easily available at your local pharmacy, help
heal skin so that scarring doesn't occur.
Some people recommend ankles and feet, but that can be
uncomfortable if you wear shoes.
You could also try behind your knees, which I've heard
recommended by some. I don't know that much about the best places
to use a scalpel, as I always use needles except in emergencies.
If you don't have a local needle exchange, dealers in drugs for
IV use will often be able to sell you the necessary equipment. If
it isn't sealed in a sterile wrapper, DO NOT use it. If you need
to use a dagger, it is advisable to boil it, or at least dump a
load of medical alcohol over it first.
If you use a scalpel or knife, you'll probably want to have some
cut medication handy to help it heal up faster and more
painlessly, and to help stave off infection. We recommend
Germaline, which has both antiseptic and pain killing properties.
It works for lizard scratches, at any rate, and they're a good
deal more septic than a cut with a sterile blade. It's also a
good idea to swab the area you're about to cut with alcohol -
many distributors of needle packs include a box of alcohol wipes
with them.
