Well, slap me upside a tree and call me a Flying Fox me little mammal friends… how the feathery, flappin’ fuck are ya?

Saturday again, already, how the time flies by when you’re having fun eh?

We got a message at our Facebook portal this week, a question actually, “How to become a Vampire?”… goes right up there with, “Can u make me Vampire?”, “Tell me how to become Vampire?”, “Make me Vampire… I give you – blood/money/my sister” et fucking al…!!!

We need every fucking sane modern living Vampire to take to their websites, FaceBook, Blog, Website… whatever and post the message very clearly in very large colourful letters. “YOU CAN’T BE MADE INTO A VAMPIRE – EITHER YOU ARE ONE OR YOU ARE NOT AND NO AMOUNT OF WISHING WILL MAKE IT ANY OTHER WAY”

Despite assertions that people do take on “Vampiric Characteristics” when in long term, close personal relationships with real Vampires these traces go away once the relationship is ended.

MAKING YOURSELF DIE WHILE SAYING “MAGIC” WORDS WILL NOT MAKE YOU TURN INTO A VAMPIRE…! – Yes, really, we have really had people offer to commit suicide if we will give them the power to become Vampires afterwards… NOTE: ALL YOU WILL BE IS DEAD…!!!

‘Nuff said… AGAIN… *sigh* – and no, that wasn’t the Weekly Biatch either

Heyyyyyy… something real interesting’s been floating around for a while now, apparently, and, in the way of all things VC, it eventually hit the fan… and splattered…

The Med-Sang Menace

Hmmmm, never really considered them a menace… just thought they were in a philosophically superior place to everybody else is all… Well, take a look at Lady Sylvere’s Grumpy Vamp and read up, if you haven’t already.

Apparently one of the authors has come forward and apologised for their part in creating the document in question… do people need to apologise for expressing themselves in the United States?

As Lady Sylvere commented, “Oops. My hand slipped. 😂”… hmmmmm

Now here’s something you don’t get every day…!!!

Now then,
I’ve been doing a bit of research… yeah, really… I’ve got something I want to share with you dear reader…

Did you know –

“Over half of people aged 16 and over in the UK (55.5%) were mostly or completely satisfied with their job in 2015 to 2016. While over the short-term this measure showed no overall change (55.8% in 2014 to 2015), there was a deterioration over the long-term (59.0% in 2010 to 2011).” Updated: 25 April 2018

and, in Australia,

Meanwhile, on this side of th’ pond…

(Provided by Forbes) we read, “10 Shocking Workplace Stats You Need To Know”… the list was compiled by David Sturt and Todd Nordstrom, researchers, consultants and authors inside the O.C. Tanner Institute.

Here are a few of their discoveries…

A recent study by CareerBuilder.com shows that a whopping 58 percent of managers said they didn’t receive any management training.
89 percent of bosses believe employees quit because they want more money. Only 12 percent of employees actually leave an organization for more.
A Harvard Business Review survey reveals 58 percent or people say they trust strangers more than their own boss.
Global studies reveal that 79 percent of people who quit their jobs cite ‘lack of appreciation’ as their reason for leaving. People don’t leave companies, they leave bosses.

“WHOA, whatup? M*****f*****s done lost his mind completely now… Why is this relevant? What does it have to do with Vampyres?” I hear you cry….

And that, my fine friends, leads us very nicely to…

THE WEEKLY BIATCH

Img. Source: simply-chateau

Job dissatisfaction… lemme ask the question, how many of you Vampyres work for a living, like me?

How many of you dislike, nay, even hate, your job? How many of you work long, hard hours for inadequate return and minimal benefits? How many of you get home at night and unload on your significant other (making them miserable in the process) before scoffing a television meal and downing six bears so you can pass out in front of the t.v. and take the pain away for a while… before the next gut churning, mind aching, numbing shift comes along to ruin your life again?

Ever thought there’s something wrong with that entire picture?

So, change it…!!!

 

Yeah, yeah, I know… you have a thousand and one good reasons… reasons? or excuses, to not rock the boat.

Let me entertain you with the tale of a wild colonial boy.

I arrived in the United States in late March of 2013. People told me it would take me a good 6 months to a year to find a decent job… I had one in four.

The first ever job interview I attended here was with an owner/manager who looked over my C.V. and made all sorts of “I’m impressed” noises before telling me it was very impressive but wasn’t worth shit here in the U.S., “We don’t recognise foreign qualifications in America” he said. I gathered my papers up, politely thanked him for his time, shook his hand and at the door I turned, flipped him the bird and said “Fuck you…!” – Nobody tells me what I can’t do – period.

Long and short of it I knew where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do, it took me until June 11 this year to get there. Today I have a great job, I like getting out of bed in the morning to get into it, the pay is adequate, I have moderate health benefits sorted out and great people that I work with. Point is, you can too, if you have the balls to go for it…!!!

If you haven’t – STOP READING NOW.

The first thing you have to do is stop paying so much attention to booze and television, that won’t get ya nuthin’.

Second, get around, either to the local job centres or on the internet and see what’s out there for you to think about. So, you don’t have the qualifications for what you want to do – GET THEM…!!! Community colleges and adult education offer a huge range of options to suit just about everyone and there are Federal Programs to give you funds to study. If it’s not enough get a part-timer or Casual to carry you through while you study… y’know, wait tables, flip burgers… whatever.

NOBODY’S GOING TO WALK UP AND SERVE IT UP ON A SILVER PLATTER… You have to go out and get it.

There are no external reasons for your unhappiness… there are no reason’s why, with a little work and effort, and maybe a little sacrifice here and there, you can’t have what you want. I’ve always gone out and made things happen the way I want, sometimes it takes time, perseverance and ingenuity but then I don’t believe y’all are any less intelligent than I am eh?

‘Nuff said.

Like Jimmy says…

“All you need is work, tra lah lalalaaaaa, all you need is wor….” Wot? Love? Ohhhhhhh yeah, all you need is love right?

Yeeeeeeah… how coolio is that?

Well, guess it’s time for me to stfu now… what? Did I hear you agree? Well, here’s something just for you…

Bridge of Psy’s

“Psychic Vampire”

Researched, Written and Edited by

Tim

Energy, what is it? Where does it come from? Why is it here? How can we use it?

On the surface, in the real world, we have physical laws that govern the applicable answers to these questions, here, in the modern living Vampyre culture, the answers, and reasons, become a little more complex, a little more abstract and rely on an understanding of a branch of science that many do not accept as being valid, namely metaphysics.

What is metaphysics?

“The part of philosophy that is about understanding existence and knowledge.”
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/

As I said, a little more abstract.

There are branches within the modern culture that do not recognise the systems of metaphysics as being valid with respect to their Vampirism, they ascribe the vampirism as being of a purely biophysical nature or a spiritual nature. I’m not going to argue either one, this editorial is simply to detail the majority of the metaphysical considerations as they apply to Psy Vampires.

In the first instance we need to consider Energy. The Cambridge English Dictionary divides the definition of “Energy” into two categories, firstly,

“The power and ability to be physically and mentally active.”

And, secondly,

“The power from something such as electricity or oil that can do work, such as providing light and heat.”

Img. source: Conscious Reminder

I have been an “energy worker” since I was in my final year in high school (1979) During the previous year I had been doing the standard High School studies in science which were concerned with the uses of, and production of, energy for the purposes of doing work for us, the physical concepts of how the addition, or subtraction, of electrons makes atoms either positively charged or negatively charged – theory of atomic polarity…capiche? It occurred to me that if energy can be manipulated on one level then, given the fact that energy is just energy at every level it must be susceptible to manipulation on other levels as well. That set me on a path of studying and experimenting with the use and manipulation of energies from all sources and on levels other than strictly physical.

Consider, if you will,

A person that is considered to have “good energies”, bright, bubbly, happy, helpful… all the positive aspects of personality.

Next, take an (for want of a better term) “Emo”… generally, introverted, introspective, deep and often dark thinking, not a very vibrant, happy or outgoing person – commonly described as being a “negative” person.

Now look at someone who kills animals – that’s what I said… firstly a hunter who puts their energy into killing to eat, to survive, then think about someone who kills animals indiscriminately for the “joy” of doing it – who has “good” energy and who has “bad” energy?

I suggest that none of these people have “good” or “bad” energy, they simply put the “neutral” energy they have to different purposes, to different projections and to different ends.

With respect to Psy Vampirism it is, necessarily, this concept we are concerned with.

Img. source: Uproxx

If there is, as the popular films of the Star Wars saga point out, something called “The Force” that binds the universe and every living thing together then it is energy. Every molecule of everything in the world, in the galaxy, in the universe, is made up of energy in one form or another. This energy is, for wont of a better term, neutral (if we’re thinking about polarity) Through its interactions with surrounding energies it changes form. The universal laws of physics tell us that in a finite system (which the universe is) energy can neither be created, nor destroyed, it can only change form. In this respect the amount of energy that was present at the birth of the universe is the same now and as it will be at the end of the universe. Think of the universe as a light bulb – you hit the switch, BAM…! Light. At the end you hit the switch, BAM…! No light. No fade in, no fade out.

So, how does this relate to the topic of Psy Vampirism?

One of the biggest things that we come across in the practice of a number of Psy Vamps, as well as other metaphysical practitioners, is a pervasive belief that there are “good energies” and “bad energies”.

The fact is that there is no “good” energy and no “bad” energy, there is simply energy. The concepts of good or bad are hold overs from the religious teachings of the eleventh and twelfth century church reformations wherein the “powers” that governed were either given by heaven or by hell, and the respective leaders of those places.

Aleister Crowley
Img. source: britannica.com

The great magickian Aleister Crowley taught us that there is no “good” magick, nor is there “bad” magick, there is simply the will of the practitioner bringing about changes in circumstances by virtue of their exercise of that will.

In the same fashion the essence of energy that is projected by a person is “flavoured” by the intent of the person projecting.

This is why Psy Vamps can feed from any form of energy no matter what the source. The trick is to be able to filter the energy so there are no “side effects”, except the beneficial consumption, felt.

 

For example,
My best source of Psy feeding is “crowd surfing”.

Photo: Keith “Louie” Abigail

Approach a busy place, a shopping mall for example, and spend a minute or two composing yourself to be very calm and centred. At this point you can raise “filters”, or “semi-shields” to prevent any unwanted side effects. When you are strongly centred and grounded simply walk into the crowd and let it all flow in. The energy just washes over you like being in the ocean. Soak in the energy until you feel well fed (combine a little gratuitous shopping with it if you like) and then go on your way with that warm, fuzzy, full feeling.

This manner of feeding can be applied in close personal contact with one or two people also but in this instance you need be more aware of the demeanour of the person/s you are with, you DON’T feed by ‘sneak’, and, by extension, in order to access the limited amount of energy present you will need to open yourself up more.

In this latter scenario you will need to have a handy “filter” or “mild shielding” in place because you are opening yourself up more. Bear in mind, you don’t want to “hurt” anyone so in the one-on-one situation make your filter, or shield, non-aggressive. You don’t want “blowback” or “karma” biting you in the ass do you.

So, what type of shields should I use?

There are a number of shielding methods available depending on your level of proficiency with such things. There are shielding spells which should only be used by the magickally experienced (too much shit can go wrong if you’re not an expert…!) There are psychoactive methods of shielding that you can employ to prevent the access of “baggage” with the consumed energy but by far my favourite, which seems to work in any given situation, is protective amulets.

Snowflake Obsidian
Img. source: Seattle findings

My personal protector is a snowflake obsidian. It is, being Obsidian family, a highly protective stone capable of absorbing, cleansing and purifying environmental energies so they don’t give you any ill effects. There are a wide array of sites on the net devoted to the preparation and use of such things, look into those since wearing an amulet is something that is simple, it does not require any additional or extraordinary effort at the time it is working and it is permanently there whether you are feeding or simply walking the real world.

There is an extremely good volume available, as a free pdf download, of probably the most informative and authoritative text on “Psychic Self Defence” written by a lady named Dion Fortune. Have a read through that and it will give you some very good tips for forming and maintaining psychic based self defence systems that you can use quite easily.

The key, in psy feeding, is as in everything else… take care, be prepared, protect yourself and practice, practice, practice so that you don’t get out of control and so you don’t cause discomfort to your donor/s.

Okay, okay, ‘old it down… OI, you lot, stop snoggin’ up th’ back there…

Leaders, leadership, leading, being led… I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this recently. There have been a lot of extensive posts made, over the years, about “What is a leader” – in reference, obviously, to our beautiful, raucous, frivolous, frenetic modern living Vampire culture. Many, many people have come forward and opined on what is “BEST” for ALL of us… I tend to regard such things with a sort of healthy cynicism now. Many have been the attempts to create leadership frameworks, Councils and the like and without exception each one that has sought to dictate some form of “best practice” among the far and wide groups, Houses, Temples and organisations has failed dismally.

As a matter of fact a leader is;
“A person in control of a group, country, or situation.” – Short and sweet.

Leadership is;
“the set of characteristics that make a good leader.” Also, “The position or fact of being the leader.” And, “the person or people in charge of an organization.”

There, that’s it, nothing mystical, nothing about experience, knowledge or any other thing. Naturally, whenever someone decides THEY are a leader people are going to be looking at what that person has done, said, or not done in the past. That’s natural. The self-declared leaders are going to be looking to their followers to validate their assumed position. It’s the way of things.

Now, here’s the thing, there are many different types of leaders…
That’s the real question isn’t it…?

When all else fails “Keep Calm and Listen to your Muse”…


Or, just say “fuck it all…!!!” and go…


Oh, yeah, for the record, Liverpool and Man. City played a nil all draw, that leaves City at the top of the English Premier League on Goal Average… PFFFFFT…!!!

Ta-rahhh for now like…!!!
