Astral Predators and Vampiric Spirits

Tempel of Azagthoth

Haunting the night, towards the purpose of further exploring the physical and astral dimensions,
and towards the purpose of draining the blood current from humans is an exercise which should
be undertaken with vigor by the ascending Vampire. We quote here an interesting passage from
Kenneth Grant's "Cults of the shadow":

"If the shadow is strongly developed and is under the control of the black magician, it can be
projected into the aura of sleeping people and obsess them with sexual fantasies that can drive
them to madness and suicide. it is then withdrawn by the vampire who dispatched it and he
nourishes himself on the energy which the shadow has 'collected'."

The author goes forth to then describe various ailments which may harm the vampire, because the
energy was of a primarily sexual nature. However, there is a key mistake that separates what
described from them practice of Vampirism as implemented by the Tempel of Azagthoth. We are
not feeding upon aura. With this in mind, the various methods of astral protection become inane
because they are primarily auric vibrations caused via visualization by the supposed magician
who would 'thwart' the vampiric attack. Most of these methods include some sort of
neutralization of the sexual energy during rituals. Or, as in the case of some modern writers who
have constructed rituals which the intent pure and simple is to thwart vampires in all and every
case they involve various proclamations, cleansings, and visualizations. these visualizations
usually consists of the victim imagining his aura growing bigger and bigger then visualize it
becoming covered with 'astral needles'. However, it is folly to think that something as easy as
visualization 'astral needles' could stop a Vampire who wants to, and will drain them of their
blood essence. If you view it as an exercise of power within the astral, it is obvious that the
Vampire is of a higher class in this respect that than human magicians much less bad ones. If we
were viewing this as a ase of manipulation of the astral energy, the Vampire could easily turn on
person's 'astral needles' into 'astral pillows'. The cleansing methods may at times work in sending
away weaker disembodied spirits who like to cause mischief. Oft, these spirits were not Vampires

to begin with or if they were they are very weak ones. A strong Vampire who really wants to
enter into the bedchamber of a victim and drain them will do so whether or not the victim has
honored him/her by placing various herbs, salt, etc. about the room. More than often the herbs
and such are of more psychological benefit than magical towards the said victim. Either way the
base of the matter remains. Humans are food for the Vampire. We do not drain them of their
'auric energy', as this quickly dissipates. We drain them of their pure blood which lies within
them. this is a primary practice which separates higher vampires from many of the often
uninformed and weaker free-style 'psychic vampires' as they call themselves. We call ourselves
Vampires period, in every sense of the word. We will choose to drain the Blood Essence because
it is in line with out purposes of Survival. That is the key reason.

We will now explore for the aspiring initiate vampire ways in which one may drain this blood
essence, in the context of what is known as astral travel. The aspects of the astral realm, the
dimensions which may be accessed by astral travel (including the other physical dimensions
which may also be accessed) is something that the true vampire will take upon him/herself to
study as a science. There are many ways in which you may control through the use of traveling
the astral dimensions but for now we will focus primarily on one of the many methods of which
you may learn how to drain the blood essence. Blood essence is also a key factor which enables
the vampire to perform acts within these realms - such as other methods of Feeding.

For start, this should be practiced in such a time period in which the individual will be able to
bring himself to a calm and liquid frame of mind. Awareness is important. As one projects
himself from his current physical body it is important to use your sense of awareness. while
traveling other dimensions one is still able to smell, see, feel, and hear various things. It is also
important to assume the mindset of what you are, a predator. No fear should be present within
you, Fear is something that Vampires created to control and subdue the human herd in the first
place. It is not something that is to be desired.

Sit comfortably in a chair or lie down on a bed. it should be dark to make the distractions of the
things around you minimal. If it is possible for absolute quiet then this should be implemented.
Music may also be employed to soothe yourself and bring you into the frame of mind in which
astral travel is most easily executed. You will notice, upon returning, that during the traveling the
music that was played in the background may not have even been heard by you. Its presence will
be minimal as you begin to sense and hear other things within the realms you are exploring. Time
may take on a liquid and intangible presence, especially when traveling other dimensions which
are accessed by the astral realm. More often it will be as if little time has passed even though you
may think that you have been away for quite some time, or vice versa.

Close your eyes. Now open your astral eyes. it is not rare that in vampires who have mastered
astral travel to be able to close their eyes and still be able to see the things around them as they lie
down because of the automatic workings of the astral senses after one has done this many times.
You may now move your astral body about as you see fit. an important discipline within this sort
of traveling is either that of speed or that of slow movement. It may be even harder to move
slowly, slowly floating to your chosen place. You may travel within any place in the physical
realm during astral travel. You are also able to access many other places which are not easily
brought about while in your physical. You may access other dimensions of both astral and
physical substance. often when it is seen that you are in some place which seems as not congruent
with the current time period in which we live that you have accessed a physical dimension
beyond our own. Often in these dimensions you may hunt in a material form which is recognized
by the inhabitants just as you would recognize a wolf if you saw it roaming about a forest.
Through certain disciplines you may exercise the practice of materialization within the physical-
astral, as taught in the Ceremony of Insanity and Inflicted Idiocy.

An important note concerning sometimes when you may think "I can't prey upon that person". If
some sort of barrier is felt, this is more than often a sign that the victim (who may be partially
clairvoyant) is on guard. If the prey is learned in any sort of astral science he/she may try to resistyou..
The remedy for this is simple. Take your hand (which may be in the form of a spiked
gauntlet, taloned claw, as to your liking) and strike them as if you wished to cut them. this will
enable you to go about your act of Feeding unhindered. Do this as much as you like or as much as
you think is necessary. Oft, in the case of highly developed astral vampires physical cuts on the
victim can be caused by this. This is due to the practice (either voluntary or Involuntary) of
physical materialization of your astral body. Accounts of these mysterious cuts due to malevolent
spirits can be seen in many areas of psychic/ghost studies. If you feel hindered in your feeding
practices, try then to feed upon the sleeping humans. It is also important for you to choose to shift
into whatever chosen astral form that best suits your needs. These may vary greatly from vampire
to vampire. some associates enjoy projecting in the form of a werewolf, while others may choose
a very large beast-like creature or a demon. The forms vary greatly.
Move in on your prey, as a predator within the animal kingdom closes in on its kill. Descend your
astral form directly on top of them (if sleeping) penetrating them. Often the victim will upon the
morning report nightmares and the sense of being paralyzed for a short period is common. You
must, telepathically, command your prey to not move and accept what is going to be done. For
those who you purposely wish to play with, you may induce scenes and aspects of punishment (as
is favored amongst many of our kind). Move directly on top of them. Remember that you are here
to feed upon their BLOOD. It is the BLOOD that is the LIFE. It is not desirable to feed upon the
energy swirling about them, but rather to penetrate and drain the pure-blood. Focus on drawing
this into yourself. Do this until you feel it is necessary. this is an art which improves and can be
augmented greatly over time.

We would like to recommend for beginners, this practice of meditation. View yourself in
whatever scenery suits you best. Any sort of imagery that suits you can be used. You are sitting
upon a mountain, in the form of a great bat like creature with fangs dripping blood and
surrounded by a green smoke representing your powers to cause disease. it is night. A small
village in India is below you. Earlier, you spy clairvoyantly a beautiful young girl entering into
the cottage of her parents. All is quiet now, all that can be heard is the insects and other animals
within the forest and field. The humans are sleeping. You fly down and enter the cottage through
one of the windows into the girl's bedroom. She is sleeping softly, lying without blankets upon a
cot on the floor because of the hot summer weather. You perch yourself above her, and then
descend directly on top of the girl. Her eyes open as if to scream. You stare at her intensely, she is
commanded to be quiet. She is commanded to see and experience the predation, but she is not to
move nor resist you. You open your mouth which is filled with long fangs, and bite into her
shoulder. Blood begins spurting into your open mouth. You hungrily drink this precious elixir.
You rip open her gown, exposing a young tender breast. You can hear her heart beating. You
position your bloodied mouth at the bottom of her breast and clamp your jaws into the soft flesh.
Blood gushes into you. You raise yourself up, hovering near the ceiling. she lays limp, you can
see the wounds but al the blood is gone. You have consumed the blood which spilt forth. You rise
unto the night sky and return to your chosen abode. This sort of meditation will call forth to the
hidden predator within, rising you towards ascension to the Throne of the beast. There is much to
be learned.

The Art of the Wampyric Tendril

Within the Tempel of Azagthoth, the art of drinking of the essence of life force from living
humans is termed the Art of the Wampyric Tendril, the Wampyric Tendril is the prime symbol of
our order and represents the art of draining life force, and causing harm via astral contact to your
intended prey. This symbol is not overly complex in appreance, but its uses are varied according
to the warlock/witch who would use this sigil and practice the arts it contains. For those familiar
with the process of imbuing physical objects or symbols with astral energy, you may consider its
application when the Wampyric Tendril (the symbol) was created. It is in fact the Oldest created
sigil from the Tempel of Azagthoth and can be obtained upon request. The second symbol of the
Tempel of Azagthoth is the Coffin, not only does this correspond with the Wampyric principle ofthe
human, through vampiric metamorphosis and training, it also has a very large symbolic
signifigance regarding The Communion of the Dracul, the summoning of the undead gods in
which the arising wampyr sacrifices his accumulated life-force from his predatory journeys until
exhaustion sets in, then which comes the re- giving of life-force from the undead which is
symbolized by the tendril near the top of the coffin which pours down blood upon 'the resting
place of the corpse' thus enabling new life, higher powers through constant practice of
Wampyrism, metamorphosis, and finally Immortality amongst the Undead Gods. This is not an
easy path and it must be stressed that Wampyrism, unlike other forms of the Occult, must be
taken on as a constant practice. The Wampyr faces many tests, but needless to say if you fail at
your arisal to the Throne of the Beast, a fate worse than death awaits thee.

The Art of the Wampyric Tendril involves astral life force draining in many different ways. There
is the practice of the 'evil eye' which with the skilled magus can implant thoughts, drain energy,
and instill certain factors which will affect the recipient of the enchantment later on. By
projecting thoughts through use of the unblinking stare, your astral body touches the victim, and
your thoughts are instilled into his mind and the victim will always view them as his own
thoughts and act. For instance, if you wanted the person to pick up a book, through this practice
you could use the phrase "That book looks interesting, I must get it...", never say "I Want that
person to pick up the book..". That is not the correct method, and it will not work. Always
implant a statement into the persons head that will make the person think that it is his own idea,
not for the sake of the person finding out that you are implanting ideas in his head, that is quite
ridiculous, the trouble with using indirect methods in this art is that it tends to cause too much
confusion in the brain of the recipient to reap results for yourself. Human prey do not believe for
the most part that they can be mentally influenced without their knowledge. The Wampyric
Undead as well as the Living Wamphyri always promote the literature and teachings which
continues to brainwash human society and thus blind them to our hidden ways.

Astral life-force draining through sight involves the use of your eyes, and extension of the astral
body (the wampyric tendril) to touch your victim and remove the life energy from them. Small
completely undetectable motions with the fingers and hand, as well as physical inhalation, can
speed the process of the recieval of energy from the victim. As the Wampyr strengthens his art
and power other means of life-force draining are possible.

The art of Astral life force draining from the human while you are completely detached from your
physical body and a part of the astral plane, is one of the primary practices of wampyrism. The
sleeping human provides the purest life-force which will violently increase the wampyrs life-
force. The more beautiful the victim, the purer the life force. As the human sleeps, they have no
control over their astral body as they are not practicioners of our art and have certain weaknesses,
while the wampyr has many uncanny advantages over the human prey. It is possible, when the
wampyr's astral body has approached the prey, to enter into the dream state of the human and
implant certain scenes in the human's subconsciouss. Through properly prepared potions and
elixers, it is possible to cause sickness in victims, although this seems to be a common after effect
of Wampyric attack. Remember, the more life force which you obtain for yourself, the less life
force for the human. Thus the weaker and more fragile his whole being will become. It is always
the pleasure of the Wampyr to be able to drain the purest blood from the veins of living humans,
then muse as the humans world utterly crumbles into chaos and disorder before you as your world
increases in experience and you come to know the way of the Vampire Dragon Tiamat and the
way of the Black Wizard, AZAG-THOTH.
