What is psychic vampirism?
Basically, draining and / or absorbing energy or
vitality from people, often, although not always against their will
or at least without their knowledge. Technically, what I'm describing
here should more correctly be referred to as "magickal
vampirism" at least in order to avoid confusion.
What is a psychic vampire?
In the words of Anton LaVey, "psychic
vampires are individuals who drain others of vital energy".
Psychic vampires can loosely be divided into two groups; conscious
psychic vampires and unconscious psychic vampires. Unconscious
psychic vampires are, according to some, fairly common. A typical
variety of unconscious psychic vampire have been described as
individuals who typically make others feel obliged to them for no
reason other than possibly guilt. Who leave one feeling emotionally
drained almost by their very presence, and who, while specifically
making no demands upon you, will have you running about at their beck
and call without offering anything in return. Whereas there are some
like myself who attempt to give something back to the victim or host.

Other unconscious psychic vampires are those
who, unknown to themselves, instinctively drain energy from those
around them. Symptoms of emotional (and sometimes physical)
exhaustion after being in their presence for a while are typical.
Unconscious psychic vampires often, instead of
making use of the energy they take, disperse it uselessly into their
surrounding environment. When you think about it this is kind of a waste.
Conscious psychic vampires like myself are those
who deliberately take energy from others, either by magical means
(for example, servitors), or by some instinctive ability, via the
astral plane, or by direct energy draining, often from the victim's
aura. This energy draining is the area covered in greatest detail in
this article.
Another entity occasionally termed a psychic
vampire is an incorporeal being, which, while distinct from related
entities such as succubi, draws energy in a similar way to their
human counterparts. These frequently seem to be rogue thought forms
created from the subconscious of a disturbed individual (who may be
able to communicate with them).
What results does psychic vampirism achieve?
It increases magickal power and sensitivity,
makes one feel more energetic, and adds to vitality. Some are of the
opinion that it offers immortality or at least extends ones life
span. If abused, over a prolonged period of time, it can damage or
even kill its victim.
How is psychic vampirism performed?
Psychic vampirism is largely performed through
visualisation and a great deal of practice. One way to do it is to
target a person and just visualise energy inside and around them.
This is basically training your self to see auras, energy fields and
the like. People who can already see and manipulate auras will have a
distinct advantage here, but seeing the things seems to be more a
matter or practice than anything else. It's easier to see energy
fields than coloured auras, and, oddly enough, it's easier to feel
the charge of one than anything else.
Upon visualising (or seeing) the energy of your
victim, try to pull it out of them. Feel it coming from them and
gathering inside you. See a stream from their body/aura into your
own. Feel the build up of energy revitalising you, making you vibrate
with what feels like an electric charge, and draw it all into
yourself, feeling it invigorating you. That's more or less it.
Additional refinements are made by each individual within their own
practice, so don't hesitate to experiment.
Some find it easier if they touch a person, bite
them, drink their blood, or whatever. It takes some people a lot of
practice, while others master it instantly, it's a matter of
developing a knack for it.
Potential difficulties
It's worth noting that you have to be careful
not to absorb all the negative psychic crap people tend to give off.
I've made the mistake a couple of times of just opening myself to all
the energy in an area crowded with people who are likely as not under
stress, and have suffered results from nausea, headaches and
disorientation, to extreme emotional states such as panic or loneliness.
I personally get round this by only feeding when
the victim is in a suitable emotional state, only feeding from
specific types of people and only feeding from one person at a time.
Preferably in a secluded place. I have known vampires to set-up
servitors or shields to filter this out but personally prefer to
perform this manually.
I've found that extreme negative reactions only
become uncontrollable if the vampire is exhausted, emotionally or physically.
Does it become addictive to the vampire?
Apparently it has been known to in some cases,
particularly in those of unconscious psychic vampirism. In terms of
intentional vampirism for magickal purposes, blood addiction is more
usual, although that can be replaced by psychic vampirism under
certain circumstances. In the case of psychic vampirism becoming
addictive, it does not usually pose a problem, as sources of PSI
energy are readily available to most.
An interesting note on the subject of addiction
is that in a relationship between individuals who practice magickal
vampirism, and the exchange between the people involved on occasion
has been known to replace any additional craving almost entirely in
many cases.
However, in relationships of this sort,
separation even for a few days can be painful and draining for
everyone involved, as this practice creates an intense magickal link.
For this reason it is advisable to be very careful whom you form this
bond with.
Can it become addictive for the victim?
I believe that it can become addictive to the
victim if you come across as the fulfilment of your victim or donor's
fetishes and obsessions, especially if you give them a bit of
pleasure while feeding. So I would recommend that you be careful whom
you select as a PSI victim and above all be honest with them.
What role do the emotions of the victim play
in this?
Extreme emotional states of any sort tend to
make feeding easier, and energy more obvious however, in my
experience, the most suitable is lust, passion, sex call it what you
will. Some people find the energy they are feeding on to be
unpleasant if the victim is in a certain emotional state (for
example, extreme depression). For myself this is most certainly true
I guess no one likes sour milk. Others don't notice any difference.
It's another aspect, which appears to largely be a matter of taste.
Additional Notes and Examples
Performing the following is easier if you are
actually biting or drinking the blood of your victim or donor
although it is possible when not in contact with that individual. One
person injecting the blood of another (the blood was visualised as
containing glowing red energy) has also successfully performed this.
Concentrate on absorbing energy from your
victim. Visualise this energy pouring into you from the person as an
electric stream. There is often a special rush if energy is taken by
force or when the victim is in a strong emotional state, fear and
lust being notable.
From my own experiences, two people who are
close will both gain from exchanging blood or energy. I find that if
such an exchange of energy is going on between two people it is
preferable that they are both in a sexual frenzy.
In the case of two people exchanging energy, the
two people will both gain from this experience. It seems that
exchanging energy generally results in both parties feeling stronger,
magickally, physically, and emotionally.
However the feeding is performed, you should
feel greatly invigorated physically and psychologically. Feeding can
cause an amphetamine like rush.
Notes on Safety and Legality
Drinking blood can result in the transmission of
various blood diseases, including HIV. Do not undertake blood
drinking if you have mouth ulcers or similar wounds or sores, or if
you suspect that the blood in question may be contaminated or diseased.
Also note that in even moderate quantities,
blood is an emetic substance.
Taking large quantities of blood at regular
intervals of an incompatible type is highly dangerous, and is not
recommended. Also, take note of safe venal injection practices. Even
a small air bubble can kill.
