Vampyres
are the gods of darkness and chaos so we must embrace this to evolve
and become stronger; we were created from the darkness and are
creatures of the darkness. Sadly a very large population of the
Vampyr community wants to stray away from the spirituality of
Vampyrism often confusing it with religion and believing it will
cause too many issues in the community but politics alone will do
that and that is hard to keep away from that in any community but it
is a pain indeed.
However
there are a few decent sized organizations that practice it as very
important but few actually name the Vampyr Gods they believe in or at
least I have never seen them mentioned but I will try and shed some
light on that subject. The only Goddesses or demon’s who have
gotten a good amount of press are Layla
(Lilith) andTiamat though of course not a lot is written about them. Through out the
centuries many cultures have had very strong beliefs in Vampyrism and
some have seen it as spiritual or ritualistic. It has even been
traced back to ancient the Sumerians and Babylonian beliefs.
Layla
(Lilith):is
one of the first Vampyres and though she was
created she evolved into something more (a goddess) through her
constant mating with other gods taking their energy and power. Not to
mention being created at the beginning by a Vampyr, learning from
him, and taking from her mate who we are told is made in his image.
She learns of her power and learns she is not the submitting type as
Yahweh as well as her mate would want to believe a woman should be
(typical males). She is then admired for her lust and power by other
men as well as demons which provided her with more of what she
needed. Samael and Layla (Lilith) are lovers and have a similar dislike for Yahweh
for his HATE of his own kind as well as those who refuse to bow down
before him.
In
the Kabbalah, she was transformed into the Shekinah, the female form
of God which dwells in man, (from shachan, schechinah, meaning to
reside). The seed of the Tree grows in the Garden within, actualized
by the Awakening of the Serpent Power. This is brought about by the
Sacred Marriage. Female angels were often called wind spirits, and
Christians called the Shekinah the Holy Ghost. The concept of female
wind spirits who originally brought man spiritual inspiration and
guidance, only to later become identified as evil spirits, passed
from Mesopotamia into the surrounding cultures. When we examine some
of these, we can see the echoes and transformations of Layla in many
different forms.
She
is our most well known Dark Mother. I have been linked to her as a
direct descendant and have felt her protection my whole life. In fact
I have been in some pretty bad places, and still came out in every
situation quite well. The Goddess Sekhmet is the Egyptian Goddess of
War, who punished the enemies of Ra, and drank their blood when they
conspired against him. (For this she is also viewed as a Vampyr
Goddess.)
Set
was a bit of a chaotic God, which the Christians link to there Satan
and him with Vampyrism as well. I link Vampyrism mostly to: the
Fallen Angels, Demons (Gods), The Nephilim,
Layla, Set, Sekhmet,Lucifer,
and Kali.
In
Ancient Greek she was also called Lamia or Strega, who was a black
bird which flies at night, and seeks children whose blood it can
drink. Lilith is often pictured with wings on her back, as a bird,
and with her feet as eagle or owl feet. Most of her ceremonies are
performed at Dark Moon, as she is the darkness and chaos of the
world.
She
is at the very core of our dark side. Rituals to her can be done in
solitary as well, but only at Dark Moon.
The
difference between it being done solitary and in the House Meroc is
that the House acknowledges her power in all three of the moon
cycles, while in solitary work she shall only be acknowledged during
the duration of the Dark Moon.
Layla
was the female aspect of one of the night wind spirits which was
originally associated with guarding the gateway between the spiritual
and physical realms and were found on temple doorways. She is also
guide to the wisdom of immortality holding the Rings of Shem; these
are the oldest symbols used to show one who has gained immortality by
passing through the Underworld to gain the sacred wisdom of the Tree
of Knowledge. She is the Goddess of Sex and (female) domination.
If
you read the texts (as well as the bible) written about the Christian
God (Yahweh)
you will see him as a Vampyr as he feeds on his followers worship to
make himself more needed and powerful. I have come to this conclusion
after reading these texts about him as I said as well as going to his
church and feeling the amazing energy his worshipers create, believe
me, it is a most tasty meal.
• She
lies in nothing but is everything
• She
is the Dark Vampyress queen of the night
• It
is through her that we awaken ourselves to the world that which is
and that which is without
• She
reminds us that we can not allow ourselves to be limited to one way
of thinking
• She
allows us to see that all her children are equal
• She
is the sexual life force of the urban jungle that is of this world
• She
is the inner rebel and changer of events
• Our
queen is the expression and acceptance of that which the world tries
to deny
• Layla
is a release from the normal mundane perception of what we call this
reality
• She
is the transformer and the bringer of chaos
• Her
reverence is not necessary for redemption or salvation, but for the
soul to grow and expand from our feeding of her essence
• She
lies in everyone and is awaken through ritual or self realization of
one’s inner most darkness. The union and acceptance with this
darkness makes us powerful
• Acceptance
is the very foundation which makes us whole, and it is Layla that
teaches us that becoming whole comes from this acceptance, and
indulgence of the mind and soul
• We
must through her become the very essence of what she represents
• Revere
and honor our queen but not worship her; as we should worship nothing
above us as if we are less than them.
• She
is ruthless, destructive, and merciless. Our actions bear results
from her
• ‘The
Darkness’ is the pure expression and embrace of our darker half;
Useless aggression and violence disgraces Lilith as we need our kind
and the humans for their life-force
• Remember
her children are sacred. So it with this that you may not in anyway
disgrace her by needless violence
• Her
wraith is as vile as our worst nightmares. With that wraith lies in
the events of your life; for Betraying her, you betray all her
children and yourself! She is our queen, and mistress
Most
Gods and Goddesses are Vampyric; Feeding on the Energy of there
Worshipers especially Yahweh. Satanist and other certain religions
have realized that you can be your own God as well as reach divinity
and as Vampyres we come from Gods and are part God as well as human.
Other possible Vampyr Gods/Goddesses are Kali, Sekhmet, Lucifer, Set,
and even Yahweh. As I mention before although Layla was created as a
human she became a goddess and succubus by taking the Energy of other
gods making her a goddess herself; She also spoke God's avowed name
and flew into the air taking his Energy as well and becoming on of
the first human Immortals. So it may be possible through time an
original normal human may be able to achieve what Layla did and
become a Vampyr as well but I have much to learn about the evolution
of the soul...

Thanks
to Chakkraa
Morningstar for help on this research of these Vampyric Gods and Goddesses:
Layla:(also
know as Lilith and Lilitu), was a relic of an early rabbinical
attempt to assimilate the Sumerian-Babylonian Goddess Belit-ili, or
Belili, to Jewish mythology. To the Canaanites, Lilith was Baalat,
the "Divine Lady". Hebraic tradition said Adam married her
because he grew tired of mating with animals, a common custom of
Middle-Eastern herdsmen, though the Old Testament declared it a sin.
Muslims were insistent on the male-superior sexual position and
apparently she was not Muslim, disagreed with Adam and flew away to
the Red Sea. Yahweh sent angels to bring Lilith back, but she refused
to return.
She
supposedly spent her time mating with "demons" and gave
birth to "a hundred Vampyres a day". So Yahweh had to
produce Eve as Layla's more docile replacement. She became the "Great
Mother" of settled tribes who resisted invasions of nomadic
herdsmen represented by Adam. Early Hebrews disliked the Great Mother
who is said to have drunk the blood of Abel after he was slain by
Cain.
Layla's
Red Sea was another version of Kali Ma's Ocean of Blood, which gave
birth to all things. There may have been a connection between her and
the Etuscan divinity Leinth, who had no face and who waited at the
gate of the underworld along with Eita and Persipnei, (Hades and
Persephone) to receive the souls of the dead. The underworld gate was
a yoni and a lily, which had no face. Admission into the underworld
was often mythologized as a sexual union. The lily or lilu, (lotus)
was the Great Mother's flower - yoni, whose title formed her name.
The
story of Lilith or Layla disappeared from the Bible but her
daughters, the lilim (Laylim), haunted men for over a thousand years.
The lilim were thought responsible for nocturnal emissions and the
Jews still made amulets to keep away the lilim well into the middle
ages. Greeks adopted the lilim and called them, Lamiae, Empusae, or
Daughters of Hecate. Christians also adopted them and called them
harlots of hell or Succubi. They believed that she laughed every time
a Christian man has a wet dream. The Daughters of Layla were
supposedly very beautiful and presumed to be so expert at lovemaking
that after an experience with one, a man couldn't be content with a
mere mortal woman.
Other
Possible Vampyr Gods – Goddesses:
Hecate, SEKHMET,Tiamat,Kali
– Ma,SET,
Lucifer, and even Yahweh
Tiamat (Babylonian Goddess) - Goddess of primordial chaos.
Sekhmet (Egyptian Goddess) - Avenger of a plot against the Gods, she
developed a taste for blood after drinking it from the humans she
killed.
Kali - is a Hindu deity known as the Goddess of Death or the Dark Mother.
She is described as a black voluptuous woman with bloodthirsty eyes,
which human blood drips from her long tongue thus the very strong
connection for modern Vampyric practitioners of all forms of magick.
Human skulls hang on strings around her body, snakes writhe around
her neck and in each of her ten hands there are weapons. Kali is the
Goddess of Death; she had to destroy everything since no visible
thing is eternal in this sect…
Kali-Ma - is distinct from Kali, as she is the ancient Hindu Goddess of
change and transformation. Kali-Ma is the energy of destruction that
brings forth the new life through death. By facing the energy of
change, our lives are transformed. Vampyric practitioners that follow
this deity are more concerned about change in the world and their
social conditioning within the Vampyric religious society.
Set - Many practitioners in the Vampyre community link vampyrism back to
the Egyptian God Set. Egyptologists have recently suggested that Set
is just a deification of an Egyptian high priest from very early
times, and that the rivalry between Set and Osiris represents a
rivalry between competing temples.
In
the Setians' view, Set was a high priest of a temple who developed a
ritual of death and rebirth that allowed the soul to achieve
immortality. The Setians believe that the rites described in the
Egyptian Book of the Dead are only improperly recollected versions of
this ritual. Set chose 72 associates to undergo this ritual with him
and to travel eternity as undying spirits which were eternally
renewed. The Vampyric condition was a side effect of this ritual.
They also believe then that vampyrism is a spiritual condition, and
it represents immortality as the soul is immortal and capable of
reincarnation. Through past life regressions one can recall itself.
Setians feed primarily upon life energy and generally abstain from
the physical drinking of blood.
(House
Kheperu)
Lamia - Greek Vampyric entity who takes the form of a snake a beautiful
woman or a woman with a snake's lower body. She is said to seduce
young men and then kill and eat them. She is said to do this, and to
kill children in vengeance against the gods. She is said to have
originally been a Libyan queen deserted by Zeus, whom his wife Hera
robbed of her own children.
Lucifer - Lucifer is one of the many names given to "the Devil"
(the Prince of Darkness) by Christianity. Lucifer means "light
bearer" (sometimes "bringer of light" or "the
dark"). Lucifer was originally an angel of light; however, he
has been classified among medieval demons & devils because he
"fell from grace" by rebelling against the Elohim. In the
theosophical tradition, he has been looked upon more kindly & is
regarded as a personification or archetype of the independent &
self-conscious mind. For the uninformed, Lucifer was the Roman
equivalent of the Greek Prometheus who was punished by Zeus
(tortured) for stealing fire from mount Olympus to give to the dying
race of humanity, who had fallen into disgrace with Zeus (and was too
much of a pussy to survive anyhow). He's one of the few origins of
the Christian devil that can be traced back to its original source.
Hecate
(Cerridwen) - associated with the Underworld. She is a Triple Goddess and
possesses all three aspects of the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone.
She is associated with Vampyres due to her blood consumption.
However, Hecate is most noted as the Dark Wise Crone who left the
Underworld at night and haunted the crossroads with blood thirst.
Statues
of her were set-up at crossroads; libations and offerings were made
there to appease her appetite in order to limit her human consumption
of blood. The Empusai were believed to be daughters of Hecate, who
came out of Underworld at night with equal bloodlust. According to
folklore, the daughters were known shape-shifters whose natural form
was said to have one leg of a mule and one leg that was bronze. They
took the form of beautiful women to seduce the men. Their reputation
included preying upon shepherds in their fields at night and men who
traveled at night. The daughter Goddess Empusa is the most renowned
Vampyric daughter of Hecate.
Cain - (not to be confused with the Role-play Cain) too many, Cain is
considered the Father of Vampires and holds a Demi-God status. The
lore of Cain is based on the fact that Cain was the first murderer
and that when the Christian God sent him out to wander in the world,
He cursed Cain with immortality.
Some
Lilithian traditions link Cain with Lilith (Layla) due to both being
thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Cain has without a doubt been a
dark individual in the tale of slaying his brother Abel in the Garden
of Eden; however, it is unclear if he was ever clearly depicted as
Vampyric before then. Most Cainites drink blood, although they also
supplement this with life-energy. Most Cainites drink blood, although
they also supplement this with life-energy.
Yahweh – Is
the Christian
god that most of humanity believes created the world alone and is
perfect, awesome, and absolutely good. My version is that Yahweh
created some of the first Vampyres and is a very jealous God wanting
all of mankind to only worship him as worship is a very powerful
energy source. He was a different type of Vampyr though; unlike most
of our kind he was of the holy realms.
Jesus
Christ - Jesus
was the son of Yahweh in the flesh and healed through his Vampyr
healing abilities. His blood was also shed for eternal life and
healing. He also rose from his first death though he did pass on. He
was also a different type of Vampyr though. Unlike most of our kind
he was of the holy realms.
The
Nephilim - This definition is taken from Lexicon of the Sanguinarium. The
Nephilim is a widespread belief within the Vampyric community which
asserts that vampyres are the descendants of the Nephilim. The
Nephilim are demi-human beings who were sired by angels, as related
in Enoch I, a book that was dropped from the Bible in the early
stages of its canonization. Some Nephi lists believe that the
Vampyric condition is genetically traceable to these otherworldly
fathers.
Others
are content to suggest that the Nephilim simply represent a higher
kind of being which came down and intermingled with humanity. As far
as the beliefs of the second order of Nephi lists are concerned,
vampyres experience their condition because they are more spiritual
than most beings, with a higher "vibration" or "frequency"
to their spirit which somehow burns their bodies out quicker and
makes it necessary to feed (which is what we believe as well). Some
Nephi lists feed upon blood, while many others feed primarily upon
life-energy. Most seem to incorporate blood into their magick and
ritual.
The
Hebrew word Nephilim is plural for Nephil or fallen one. The term
applies to both the fallen angels (the giants) or the tall heroes and
man of fame that intended to become a new ruling race on Earth.
Mostly it applies to the fallen angels (that at least in some cases)
which looked tall, pale, blond, probably blue eyed men. There came
forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men (1Enoch
86;1) .
Anath (Canaanite Goddess) - Blood drinking Goddess. She was fertilized
through blood, and even other Gods feared her.
Babalon - Crowley's numerological-derived spelling. Another name for the
Scarlet Woman, regarded by some to be a terms meaning a fire
elemental. The great whore, there are several goddesses who are
regarded as possible identities for her, including Astarte and
Lilith.
Baccus (Greek God) - God of Wine but also drank blood his followers drank human blood
and it was said to make them crazy as well as aligned to the god for
enternity.
(Bacci
were said to be his supernatural Vampyric women servants)
Cihuacoatl (Aztec Goddess) - Blood drinking Goddess. Known as the snake woman, she traditionally
has two knives sticking out of her forehead.
Chirops - A Bat God; one of the mysterious "supreme" deities. In
Mesoamerican religions, the bat stands for enlightenment, since it
awakens in the darkness. The Mayan god (equivalent?) is Camazotz.
Ereshkigal:
(Allatu) - The supreme goddess of the Sumerian underworld. Nergal is her
consort. She is often considered Ishtar's sister. When angered, her
face grows livid and her lips grow black. She doesn't know why Ishtar
would visit her, but she allows her in, according to the ancient
rites. She instructs Namtar to release his diseases upon Ishtar. When
'His appearance is bright' tries to get her to swear an oath, she
curses him. She has Namtar release Ishtar in exchange for Dumuzi. Anu
sends Kakka to her with a message and then sends Nergal to give her a
throne upon which she is to sit and give judgment.
She
offers Nergal food, drink, a foot bath, and entices him with her
body.
Eventually
he succumbs and they sleep with each other for seven days. She is
enraged when he wishes to leave. She sends Namtar to heaven to
request that Anu, Ellil, and Ea send Nergal to her as one of the few
favors she has ever had. If they do not, she will raise the dead and
they will eat and outnumber the living. Nergal is brought back. In
some versions of the myth, Nergal takes control of Namtar's attendant
demons and grabs Ereshkigal by the hair. In this position she
proposes marriage to him.
Gargophias - In the Quabbla Gargophias is the 13th guardian of the dark Tarot. Grant calls it batrachian
witchcraft, Hecate's, the goddess Frog-Head. As the High Priestess
watches implacably at the cliff edge of the Abyss for the magician to
make his solitary leap, Gargophias waits for him to leap into the
depths of sexual union (the mating of Chaos and Time). Her magic is
dream interpretation and clairvoyance. The disease of Gargophias is
menstrual malfunction.
Hathor (Egyptian Goddess) - Hathor is often the Goddess spoken of in the Sekhmet myth.
Hadit – Is a Chaldean version of Set, according to Grant, and the divine
seed of manifestation (the divine spermatozoon or serpent). As Nuit,
according to Crowley, is "infinite space," so Hadit is the
infinitely small or atomic center. By extension, Hadit is the
equivalent of Lucifer, who is his own Holy Guardian Angel and the
"seed" of our hell-world. Hadit can also be the
manifestation of Nuit, as the child, Horus, is the manifestation of
the Mother. The Isis-Horus connection to the Christian Madonna and
child, after all, is well established.
Nuit – The Egyptian goddess of night.
Pazuzu (Also P'azuzu) - An Old Mesopotamian demon depicted with four wings and a fearful
countenance, with a scorpion's tale and rotting genetalia (appears
variously in Assyrian, Sumerian & Babylonian lore). In Babylonian
demonology, Pazuzu is the son of Hanpa, father or brother of Humwawa.
He is the Lord of the evil spirits of the air. Pazuzu, "Lord of
the wind demons," spreads fever and cold and horrible diseases.
Loosely, he might be described as a "Bringer of Plague."
There are a vast variety of charms and spells to ward off Pazuzu's
influence, and he himself has been called upon and made offerings to
in order to ward off his influence and that of other devils.
Pazuzu
was used on amulets to banish the baby killing Lamaschtu. He is also
called upon to aid in curses, particularly by modern magicians.
Should you choose to work with Pazuzu, precautions that should be
taken as his temperament could be described as insane and unstable to
say the least? Firstly, whatever the English language version of the
Simon Necronomicon says, Pazuzu is most definitely NOT equivalent to
the Demon Choronzon, and should not be worked with as such. The Simon
Nec figures that the Dunwich Horror is related/equivalent to
Choronzon (in Crowley's work) and Pazuzu (in Sumerian magick).
Secondly, if you work regularly with Lilith, and decide to work with
Pazuzu, expect fireworks.
This
is related to Pazuzu being used to counter and protect babies,
children and pregnant women from Lamaschtu, Lilith's Sumerian
incarnation.
Pazuzu's
primary expression of displeasure and annoyance seems to be disease -
for example, all 3 people in the household when he was worked with
suffered a variety of interesting diseases. I forget the specifics of
one, but it seems that the diseases were appropriate for the people
in question. A member of the household who has a distinct feline
aspect got cat flu, while an individual who associates with serpents
got stomatitis (throat/mouth rot, which turns up rather nastily in
reptiles).
Yes,
these were checked out by a doctor. All illnesses virtually vanished
the day after the Pazuzu talisman was removed from the altar.
Pomba
Gira - Pomba Gira and her sisters are the female companions of Eshu. Pomba
Gira is said by some to mean "spinning pigeon" because a
person possessed by her begins the manifestation by dancing and
spinning drunkenly, although this is just one interpretation of her
name. The character of the Pomba Gira is primarily lascivious,
promiscuous, pleasure-loving and free of all inhibitions. She has
quite a lot in common with the succubus of European demonology but
without the sinister overtones.
She
has also been compared the Mesopotamian goddess/demoness Lilith or
Layla. She likes alcohol and sex and both can be indulged in her
honor or used as an offering. She can be called upon to bring about
the satisfaction of love, lust and vice.
Typhon - Draconic earth demon of Greek legend. He was said to be of human
form down to his thighs. From the thighs downward he had huge coils
of vipers, which when drawn out, reached to his head and emitted a
loud hissing. His body was de-winged and fire flashed from his eyes.
Typhon hurled fiery rocks and breathed fire.
He
loomed above the mountains, and brushed the stars with his head. One
of his hands reached out to the west and the other to the east and
from them projected a hundred dragons' heads. Father of the Chimaera,
son of Gaia and Tartarus, Typhon's half-sister (and, according to
some legends, his consort) is Echidna.
In
his childhood, Gaia told Typhon of the evils Zeus had perpetrated
upon her other children. Later, Typhon went to war with Zeus and his
gods. They fled to Egypt, Zeus attacking him with thunderbolts from a
distance. Typhon eventually captured Zeus, who had to be rescued by
Hermes and Aegipan.
Legend
has it that in a later battle Zeus finally defeated Typhon by casting
Mount Etna in Sicily upon Typhon, where he was guarded by Hephaestus,
who rendered his escape impossible by fitting giant anvils to his
head. Earthquakes are said to be caused every time Typhon struggles
to escape, and his fiery breath still erupts as lava out of Mount
Etna. Typhon is also used as another name for Set (Slayer of Osiris).
In the Wheel of Fortune, Typhon is the destructive force of existence
related to Capricorn (the culmination of Pisces' dissolution). A god
of evil winds, Typhon is the origin of the word, "typhoon."
Yama - Lord of the Underworld, our first father and the angel of our
death. Yama is the Hindu equivalent of Pluto, the guardian of Hell.
But along with the dreaded Yama is the even more intimidating
Yamataka, Yama's destroyer who is both a bodhisattva and an aspect of
Shiva. He is black, has many heads, eyes, legs and arms bearing
mystic implements and human skulls. He is engaged in intercourse with
a female bodhisattva, a concubine/succubus. Another of his names is
Varja-Bhairava ("Terrible Lightning") and he is the
protective God of the Tibetan temple of Gelugpa.
