"they had forrgotten the first lesson,that we are to be powerful,beautiful and without regret."

-Armand interview with the vampire

Instead of continuing the dictionary I decided ill simply write about vampires. updated every week.

Ill mix fiction with non-fiction and hopefully manage to cover this broad subject.

At this very moment many vampire groups exist on the web.

There are two main type of groups, one type is the Goth subculture related one.

Ask any Goth person if they had at some time an interest in vampires and the answer would be positive.

From movies and books to style and music vampires are definitely a significant part of culture, and naturally some groups of people are extra fascinated.

The second types of groups are usually more occult/ new religion new age related in one from or another.

They are interested in "energy" and view vampires as negative people who feed on others leaving people weak and drained. On the other hand some occult groups view vampires more as a concept of beauty personal power and grace. Depending on which group you encounter vampire may be seen as positive or negative or more often as both.

For example a person interested in vampires reading the famous Ann rice and watching movies, is seeing vampires as something cool (for lack of another word) but part of this "cool" is the frightening danger the thrill the idea of vampires carries. In other words both a negative feeling that results in a positive fun rush of adrenaline. The new age types are more focused on real vampires and in protecting yourself from them.

Various techniques and advice can be seen in forums and articles.

one technique is calles shielding and is ment to protect a person from being fed off by a vampire.
