In vampirism I have read something about that the magician allow himself to be drained by the vampires that in return give him their energy in exchange. Is that truth? How does it work?
That is basically nothing but the occult version of the pop culture myth about a vampire feeding their own blood to someone in order to “turn” them.
Perhaps you have seen the ritual of communion in the book Draugadrotinn by N.D. Blackwood.
@N.D_Blackwood
Before I explain the ritual, you should know that by receiving the essence of the undead Master or Undead God, you will gain his powers.The effects are temporary, so you must perform this ritual periodically.
The ritual involves you sacrificing your life force to the undead.The undead then gives you some of his life force in exchange for your life force.You give the undead your life force and he gives you some of his essence so that you can gain his powers.The purpose of this ritual is for you to give life to the Undead Master and in return he will help you gain his powers.
And let me tell you something.I don’t want you to ask questions about Nd blackwood’s book.Most of the people here haven’t read Nd blackwood’s book and don’t know about his book.So most of the answers you get are wrong answers and you will only get more confused.So don’t ask people here questions.Ask Nd blackwood questions.
Have a nice day.
No I have just read about it in the sense that it was mentioned in a book about Vampire Magick. Blackwood’s book is too expensive…
Wasn’t your question about the rituals you saw in Nd blackwood’s book?
No I have not read his book. I have just read about communication with Undead from other books of vampire magick but just about them without ritual. I want to know how it works.
Doesn’t the book say what the purpose of the ritual is?
No it was not a grimoire. I could not find any information what it did.
Given the context is vampirism not tantra or energy healing, I would say the above response form DarkestKnight is the most likely.
It’s common for modern “vampires” to think this a differently type of spirit, being or that you can be “turned”, which is pretty much nonsense. You’re human, and you will stay human until you release the human vessels that make you human, it’s not rocket science.
It has nothing to do with that energy the vampires give in return is beyond what the body can produce?
No.
Why do you think it’s fiction?
Because I know the difference between subjective and objective.
And why do you think vampirists are not objective?
The source of any vampiric strain, is always demonic.
Quoting Robert Ambelain, probably the most well known ceremonial magician in western europe during the 20th century
'The creation of the first element of a vampire chain always had as its object a certain reanimation of an immated corpse.
We supplemented the superior element of the being, released and passed in the superior plane, by literally having the cadaver possessed by an entity of evil spirituality, itself linked to one of the four elements: Fire Air Water Earth. There was therefore successive integration of four different elementary entities. Depending on whether the subject died from sunrise to noon, from noon to sunset, from sunset to midnight, from midnight to daybreak, one of the four Governing Spirits of these periods and his immediate Servants was evoked and commanded. number of two.
A charm (spell) was then sewn into his clothes or his shroud. It was then necessary to go and discuss the new hosts of the corpse, remaining intact, on its very grave call him by the old name he had when he was alive, charm him. Free himself from his remains and materialize, out of the grave. The first victim of the new Vampire was, inevitably and necessarily the evocator that became the first link of the chain through the filiation which was thus born.
Marked with the stigma psychically, (through blood and vital osmosis), linked to the initial catalyzer that was the reanimated body, the evocator becoming a vampire can prolongate his existence by the use of his double at night, going to steal the vital essence of the sleeping people. When he finally had to die, generally at a very advanced age, his body and flesh doesn’t decompose and few days after the burial, generally, 15 to 23 lunar days he went out of the grave for the first time."
Le vampirisme aujourd’hui by Robert Ambelain
The process of any strain, remplace the Higher Bodies have the initiate, with a what is called here “an evil spirit”. This spirits are associated with the 4 squares of chapters 13th of the book of Abramelin, this square being under the authority Ariton, Oriens, Paimon and Amaymon. In other words, you entrer an alchemical process where the lower human bodies (astral and mental) merge with the demonic and are filled with it.
So yes, basically, you are turned into something else.
Most of the vampiric practicer are link to a strain/chain and need to feed the strain at different level of reality to gain and maintain powers and to be able to function as a sort of demonic entity ( this is a shift of subtle body). However the most secretive vampiric order like ODNN use some Dzogchen technique for example practicing the non dualistic presence etc and alchemy ( use of elixir etc) to create an"exotic" jalu body called the glorious body of the dark sun. Most of practicer are not able to do ascetic training like that as this is more difficult than doing rituals.
This is more an alchemical process than a pure magical one as often found into books. You need to go beyond Assiah. Magic ritual are useful but not the main part. Some practice have bardonian basis as the practicer need to be perfectly able to transfer consciousness into item and animals. Those who have been part of such order know that true vampire must " ride the reptilian brain" to attain the inner primal powers and be able to exist into the abyssal side of reality. That’s why this order is link to Nyarlathotep as most of the Lovecraftian being are artificial shapes ( created by the mind of the writer) of the most primal being ( those who are beyond the fictional shapes) those who are from the pure objective extraterrestrial reality.
