1) A war between magicians: on a small scale, there are always wars going on between various magicians, whether on an individual basis or between
covens. On a worldwide scale, there is a war going on between "light" and "dark" magicians. This war is not new; but the stakes are much higher
now.
2) Do vampires exist? I believe in the existence of human-looking but ultimately inhuman beings in our midst. They are often very attractive,
charismatic, and can attract "followers" easily--but this social grace only exists provided they are raised among their own kind or have a full
reckoning and acceptance of what they are. I do not think they infect people so much as possess them...I do not think they can infect or possess
another who is not already latently one of them anyway. They are very versed in the use of magic--it is not something they have learned, but a part of
what they are. The level of their paranormal ability can be very frightening if it is demonstrated to you. I do not know if they absolutely need to
ingest blood to live, per se. But they definitely have a parasitic element--but in a much more concrete way than psychic vampires. Blood does hold a
very important part of their lives, however. I believe that the traditional folklore of the vampire was a symbolic way of describing these
creatures--but that the current folklore of the "reptillian" alien a la David Icke is another way to describe them. Neither folklore has exactly hit
the nail on the head. These creatures are also shapeshifters, can make themselves "invisible," and can practice things such as bilocation &
"hypnosis" on victims. They are long-living, but not in the way like an individual body can live for 150 years. Their souls span several bodies.
Their souls do not practice traditional reincarnation--rather, they prefer to enter bodies that are already living, especially newborns or very young
children who briefly "die". They can carry a portion of their memories with them from life-to-life intact. To "kill" such an entity & stop it from
acquiring new bodies to live in requires far more than a stake. These creatures are multi-dimensional & hard to pin down by conventional means. A
psychic can spot them pretty quickly, however--though they are not likely to call them vampires unless they are very versed in that particular
folklore. As for those of the "Anne Rice/RPG" school of vampires...the "vampiroids"--most of them are not real vampires, but there are a
percentage who are & use this folklore as a tool to deal wth it. I believe there are people who accurately understand the real vampire situation, but
use the Anne Rice/RPG lore as a framework to fully grasp it. Nothing wrong with that. The real vampires themselves are exploiting this lore.
3) Is there a vampire war building up? Between clans, or between vampires & humans? Vampires don't feel they have to declare "war" on humans...they
feel they can simply seduce them with sex, money, or hypnosis when the humans in question are needed. As for clan versus clan warfare, I am not in the
current "know," as they say, so I believe there are other people on this thread who have posted or are reading this right now who have a much more
informed opinion than me. I do know that magicians & vampires are known to "mix it up" & get into rows, and those are always interesting & fun (if
you are a bystander).
As for those who get on these threads & bash one person's or another's personal beliefs--last I saw, ATS wasn't www.snopes.com, where all they do
is take apart and ridicule any beliefs that are not "conventional" & label them urban legends & the figments of crazy people's imaginations. It
might be better to start your own threads about why you feel these topics are daft than to fill another poster's thread with ridicule--that's what I
do.
