O YE DRYBONES : Special Guest MONTO HOTEP / A VAMPIRE STORY 2016

Vampirism is a real, but often misunderstood, layer of the Asetian nature. The Asetians were described by the ancient mystics as the primordial vampires, the first-born of the timeless immortal kin. Tracing their roots back to Ancient Egypt, a time of mysteries and magick, they were given Life out of the essence of Aset through an inscrutable act of creation known as the Dark Kiss - the Asetian initiation.A real vampire is not defined by the elements found in fiction, myth and lore. Being a vampire is a definitive condition of the soul. It is marked by a non-human spirit within a human body. An immortal soul in a mortal shell. Vampirism is often linked with the draining of vital force, known as Ka in Ancient Egyptian, but the need for energy alone is not enough to describe a living vampire. The metaphysical practices and techniques behind vampirism are not exclusive to vampires, given that other beings can also summon the elements, interact with energy and may learn the ability to drain and manipulate life force. This does not qualify them as vampires, when they are only humans practicing the arts of vampirism.
There are many situations that may lead someone into acts of vampirism, from circumstances as simple and mundane as stress and depression to subtler and esoteric conditions . In this case, a human may start to metaphysically impersonate a vampire after being drained for an extended period of time or by the means of deep feeding. Naturally this does not turn the individual into an actual vampire but simply reflects a human being conditioned to act vampirically. 

Another common mistake, and often passed along as truth by the less knowledgeable of the mysteries within the vampire gnosis, is that the nature of the vampire can be explained by damaged chakras - known as Shen in the Asetian culture
