A Prayer to Sekhmet


O Sekhmet, Destroyer of Rebellions, Mother of the Dead
Absolve from me all which stymies my developments. Beloved Teacher, bestow your knowledge upon me.
Possess me now Warrior Goddess. I am with you.
I am one with the Mother of the Gods.

Vampyrism - Is it a Spiritual Path?

A few individuals I have come across have the belief that Vampyrism is a spiritual path. I am not one to try to change anyone's beliefs but this topic has my interest piqued.

As Vampyre's we live off of Prana (vital life).

In Hindu philosophy Prana is described in sub categories: Prana, Apana, Udana, Samana and Vyana. Prana/Pranic energy is sent to every cell in the body through the circulatory system. The circulatory system is responsible for moving blood through our body to the appropriate vessels. With out this help from the circulatory system human "life" would not exist.

Vampyrism is a condition, a state of being that usually effects our health depending on the person, in different ways. Some of the complaints I have heard range from headaches, exhaustion, lethargic and insomnia to name a few. This is by no means spiritual at all it has more to about survival and the well-being of the Vampyre.

The definition of Spiritual is: of or pertaining to sacred things or matters; religious; devotional; sacred. Though I view my body as a sacred temple, there is no spiritual connection to Vampyrism.
