Dissection. Where Dead Angels Lie (live 2004) Hail Satan! I love this band. The best song ever!! |........................Where Dead Angels Lie.........................In the dawn an angel was dancing surrounded by an aura of light But in the shadows something was watching. and with patience awaiting the night. Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night, your dark beauty obsesses me" An angel bewitched by the shadows Seduced by the whispering liesA spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so coldDusk has passed and a cold morning breeze, is sweeping all over the plain. On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale On her face an image of pain Snow is now falling to the frozen ground The angel is covered by white Frost is spreading across the plain to welcome the eternal nightThe dress is white with crystals of ice, and frozen roses so red. Roses of blood from an innocent soul On the plain lies an angel deadA spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering The silence was broken by cries A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie..Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures Die!!!The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lie angels so cold Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling, another story is told A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie....Music: NÃ¶dtveidt. Lyrics: NÃ¶dtveidt.

.....................Vampires..................About facts, legends, how so exist as one, ect......The practice of drinking blood goes back to the first time someone bled around someone else, with notable archaeological records supporting the notion found in Mexico, China and the Middle East, Africa and the South Pacific...Drinking blood almost always had a ritual or magical component attached to it (as opposed to cannibalism, which was often simply a dietary strategy in prehistoric times). There's just something about blood which speaks to the innermost human condition. Long before the days of DNA typing, blood was understood to be something very integral to identity.......The blood-rites of ancient religions aren't vampirism. The historical record suggests that the concept of the vampire as recreational blood-drinker/supernatural being dates back to around the time of Jesus Christ, who fueled the growth of such stories in very specific ways that people don't like to talk about..After all, two particularly notable aspects of the Jesus story are present in the vampire legend. The concept of rising from one's grave, and drinking human blood in order to have eternal life:.."He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him."....The vampire is the seen as the evil opposite. Someone who drain blood without permition and turn the victim into a living dead.....Two threads of thought that combined into the modern conception of the vampire around the time of the Middle Ages. *1. The idea of the magical/healing properties of blood. Blood was thought to contain the magical essence of life, and was used in various medical and occult practices. *2. The emergence of legends about the undead, soulless and unbaptized abominations who clawed their way from the grave to wreak havoc on the living........The first really gory documented tales of psychotic killers began to arise, such as the case of Sawney Bean, the leader of an incestuous cannibal tribe in Scotland, and the extremely lurid tale of Gilles de Rais, one of the first serial killers to immortalized in excruciating detail, who was convicted of Witchcraft, summoning Satan and other crimes. Such as Aleister Crowley, would conclude that de Rais was the victim of a politically motivated frame-up. According to the Inquisition, de Rais used the blood of the hundreds of children he had allegedly killed for alchemical experiments........The Vampire idea as a super-natural didn't fully take form until Bram Stoker virtually created the concept in his novel, Dracula. Stoker wove together a series of legends and old wives tales concerning the undead to define the parameters of the modern vampire, including the aversions to silver, garlic, sunlight, cross, sleeping in coffins and fangs. He attached the Dracula name to his story as an afterthought, and he knew virtually nothing about the historical Vlad. Vlad Tepes, or as he is famously known, Vlad the Impaler, was a bloodthirsty prince of Transylvania in the 15th century. His father and grandfather were members of a secret society not dissimilar to the Knights Templar or the Masons...The story of Dracula grew, vampires became a staple of Western culture, boosted to warp speed by the introduction of cinema. Most influential movies of the silent era was Nosferatu.About 100 years after Vlad, there was Elizabeth Bathory. The Bathory case is perhaps the first real example of the fully formed notion of modern vampirism. The idea that the blood of others will somehow provide eternal youth......."Vampire lore" was fabricated by Stoker, the idea of the vampire enflamed the popular mind to the point that people really started to a) believe in them and b) want to meet one, for purposes of sexual titillation and eternal life. Anne Rice penned popular vampire novels beginning in the 1970s, hordes of goth teens and non-impressionable adults fell in love with the idea of vampires all over again. "Interwiew with a vampire"and"Queen of the Damned,"is based on her books. Many found Rice's vision compelling and convincing, and some believed her characters were real or based on some sort of reality. Rice has denied this. Pretty soon you couldn't swing an undead cat without hitting some historical "evidence" of vampires in ancient times.................Blood drinking...Prior to the Web's emergence in the 1990s, there was a small underground club scene in large cities like New York and San Francisco in which people indulged in fetish-oriented blood-drinking....... Anyone who had thought about drinking blood could easily find and talk to anyone else who had ever thought about drinking blood. There are dozens of Web sites with tips on how to hygenically drink the blood of others, ettiquette in soliciting blood, and safety tips to help avoid piercing major arteries and otherwise killing the person you're playing with......The Web has also allowed the creation of Web sites made by people claiming to be supernatural-type vampires, but these sites rarely display the mastery of English grammar which one would expect from a preternaturally intelligent person who has lived for centuries, raising the uneasy suspicion in the minds of readers that maybe just maybe the site was created by a disturbed 14-year-old................On the internet I found lots of stuff about how the life of a real vampire`s life would be in the real world:........... There are many aspects to the vampire phenomenon. One is vampirism which frequently troubles magickal, spiritual and other small groups, the most common form of vampire, is found among living people who share with us the benefits and disadvantages of physical existence on this plane, yet are not quite human. They appear on the surface to be somewhat eccentric members of society, their outward idiosyncrasies only hint at how different they are from others......A vampire is a person born with an extraordinary capacity to absorb, channel, transform, and manipulate "pranic energy" or life force. She has a critical energy imbalance which reels wildly from deficit to overload and back again. This capacity for handling energy is a gift, but the constant imbalance of her own system is the cause of the negative behavior patterns and characteristics which may be notable about a vampiric person......Real vampires do not necessarily drink blood-in fact, most do not. Blood-drinking and vampirism have been confused to the extent that for the average person, a vampire is defined as something that drinks blood (such as a "vampire bat"). When we look beyond casual assumptions to the details of common beliefs, we find something quite different. Throughout both folklore and literature, there is an understanding that vampires require energy or life force. Many old folktales accept that vampires suck blood, yet never describe this actually happening. The victims slowly decline and waste away, and the survivors assume that some evil fiend is draining them of blood. They know that the Bible says, "the blood is the life", and anyone who was losing their life force must be losing blood. Yet, in many instances the vampire's "attack" does not even involve physical contact. In others, it is clearly sexual energy which is exchanged:..*1..Fresh blood is the highest known source of pranic energy (life force)....*2 Human beings have practiced blood-drinking for many reasons throughout history, drinking blood alone does not indicate that a person is a vampire. Only real vampires can directly absorb the pranic energy in fresh blood, and for this reason some are attracted to blood and find different means of obtaining it....*3 However, it is a rare vampire who cannot absorb energy in much more subtle ways. This mechanism that causes real vampires to inflict harm on others and themselves if they fail to recognize what is happening and do conscious work on transforming their inner natures. Vampires are no more likely to be either malicious or spiritually aware than the general population, but without awareness, they can spend their lives making themselves and others unhappy, and will continue to incarnate in this pattern until they take action to change it...There are a number of external symptoms of vampirism, but it is important to realize that some of them are found in ordinary human behavior. Real vampires are identifiable partly cuz they have a majority of the symptoms, not just one or two. Real vampires are distinguished by a certain quality to the energy. Anyone reading a description of the symptoms and behavior patterns might find a few that apply to people he knows/himself, real vampires have a way of standing out vividly to everyone who interacts with them. Few people who do not know at least one vampire....Vampires are usually "night people on a biochemical level, inverted circadian rhythms, body cycles such as temperature peaks, menstrual onset, and the production of sleep hormones in the brain occurring at the opposite time of day from most people. They have difficulty adjusting to daytime schedules and frequently work nights. They tend to be photosensitive, avoiding sunlight, sunburning easily, and having excellent night vision. Their vitality ranges widely, and they can be vigorous and active one day, depressed and languorous the next....They frequently have digestive trouble. Even those with cast-iron stomachs have many issues with food that are rooted in their constant hunger for energy. Contrary to the image of the vampire as thin, many real vampires are troubled by obesity because of a hunger that makes them food addicts, and a system that is sluggish in processing physical food. Sometimes troubled by other substance addictions for the same reasons, but since their systems are tuned to pranic energy more than to processing physical substance, they may not be as sensitive to drugs and alcohol as an ordinary person would be....Emotionally and physically, vampires are unpredictable, moody, temperamental and overwhelming. The major distinguishing characteristic of real vampires as opposed to ordinary people who share those qualities is the vampire's intensity. Vampires are extremely intense people. They are frequently given nicknames such as "the black hole." When others talk about them (usually complain), vampires are often described as "needy," "attention-seeking," "grandstanding," "manipulative," "exhausting," "draining," "monopolizes the conversation," "jealous," "huge ego,ect" A vampire's emotions are deep, fervent, and powerful, usually displays great psychic ability and has uncontrolled magickal and psychic experiences. Vampires are also empaths, they remain unconscious of their natures, they are frequently "psychic sponges" who simply absorb vibrations from everywhere, with the expected emotional instability resulting....A "hungry" vampire -- one whose energy level is imbalanced to the deficit side -- becomes an involuntary psychic vortex, drawing all pranic energy in the area towards her. When the energy does not flow in fast enough -- and it is typical of vampires that the energy never flows fast enough for them -- she will begin manifesting behavior patterns to increase the amount of conscious attention she gets from others. Some vampires develop a pattern of being aggressively confrontational, or of constantly antagonizing people with whom they have relationships. Nearly all, have a talent for attracting (or distracting) the attention of everyone present....Once overloaded on energy, she reverses her behavior patterns. She may become morose, silent, withdrawn and introverted. Some become maniacally cheerful when they are satiated, but even their good moods seem to annoy others, and it is more typical for vampires to be infamous as wet blankets. "Hungry" and "overload" phases can occur within a few minutes or last for days at a time. Vampires are commonly loners, in part because they feel so different from those around them, but also because they have a need to control the degree of contact they have with sources of energy......Real vampires are not the demonic fiends of Christianized folklore, but as long as they refuse to accept their inner nature, their bad reputation is not undeserved. Unconscious vampires have a tendency to reach adulthood with less than the average level of social skill and general finesse, and tend to be selfish and self-centered. The demands of their own energy systems are so distracting to them that it is difficult for them to pay attention to the needs of others. Their relationships tend to be disasters. Different vampires develop different patterns according to what works best for them in their life situation, but several patterns are common. The "femme fatale" or "lady-killer" vampire forms a continuous series of sexual connections with one partner at a time, dropping each unfortunate lover as they become too exhausted (or defensive) to support the vampire's energy needs. Other vampires form a long-term relationship with a single person: either another vampire whose energy cycle complements their own, or a person who derives satisfaction from being a psychic servant or martyr. A common pattern, especially in young adults, is to continuously join social, religious, political and magickal groups and either blow them apart or end up being thrown out. Vampires may go through roommates, housing situations, magickal groups, jobs and lovers like so much Kleenex.....Many people find that they feel "creepy" or "weird" around a vampire. This is usually due to the effects of one's own life force being drawn towards the vampire's vortex. Most people feel uncomfortable and distracted when their energy is pulled away from themselves. In addition to this, a common result of such an energy drain is for the aura to pull in tightly towards the body, and this causes a prickling sensation on the skin -- the "creepy-crawlies."....It is no more common for vampires to be psychopaths or killers than it is for any random person on the street. However, a prolonged, or very involved, relationship with a vampire can put a severe strain on the emotional and psychic energy systems of an ordinary person. Folklore suggests that victims of a vampire become vampires themselves. In reality, people who have been seriously "drained" -- that is, have had their own energy pulled off balance into a deficit -- also become psychic vortices which pull life force away from other living things. However, they are never as powerful as a true vampire, and unlike vampires, quickly recover and stabilize. True vampires are born the way they are -- no one can be "turned into a vampire." However, years of energy depletion can lead to health problems ranging from depression and malaise to a suppressed immune system and susceptibility to serious illnesses. Most people will break off the relationship before it gets that far.....Many vampires are attracted to magickal paths. In a magickal working group, their ability to wreak havoc is increased because of the psychic openness and trust that exist there. But there can be a benefit, as well. Some vampires become aware of their true natures and choose to undertake serious work to transform themselves. As soon as they begin doing so, they become more acceptable working partners and companions. Once in control of their capacity for handling energy, they become extraordinary magicians and healers. Their ability to hold the attention of others gives them the potential to be fine leaders and teachers. Ultimately, the purpose of vampires is not to plague the universe but to facilitate its healing. Vampirism is the dark, or unfocused, side of a certain kind of psychic talent, one which has been developing for many lifetimes. It is destructive only when a vampire either refuses to face the truth about herself and work with her abilities, or when she chooses to play out a sinister role because of the illusion of power it gives her......Because of this, many of the vampire characteristics described above are far less evident in the most powerful vampires, the ones who have done considerable work on their inner selves. Many of these are poised, pleasant, competent individuals, with great personal power. They have come to terms with who and what they are, and no longer exhibit the negative qualities associated with "psychic vampirism."......* 4 Unfortunately, unconscious vampires are far more common than evolved ones, and it is these troubled souls who more usually appear in magickal groups.....There is no "generic advice" to give those who believe they may be dealing with a real vampire. Those who are so inclined might try to help a friend or fellow group member explore their inner nature and come to terms with their destructive behaviors. Those who feel victimized can choose to end the relationship. Each case is different, and can only be judged by the individuals concerned. But it is important for anyone involved in magickal or psychic work to understand that vampires are a real phenomenon, and that, like all perils, they should not be greeted with fear or anger. Nothing is evil by nature -- only by choice. Terror of discovery (followed by ridicule or rejection) inhibits the self-development of many real vampires. When they reach out for friendship, they are often reaching out for help......A person who believes she may be a real vampire herself has a long and difficult process ahead of her. The most important step on her path is complete self-awareness: of her relationships, patterns, energy levels, and all other personal qualities. The most challenging work may often be summarized in the simplest of terms. Knowledge, awareness, and control are the lessons real vampires must learn in order to harness their abilities. If real vampires are not the immortals of fiction, they can at least be confident of one thing: for better or worse, they will keep the qualities they develop for many lives to come....Let`s look at how legends think of vampires...how do we recognize one?...Europe there was one generally acknowledged method of identifying the suspected vampire. The natural decomposition of the body after death was assumed to be due to the departure of the soul from the body. In most cases a body was found to be uncorrupted, it was usually assumed that the soul remained or that a demonic spirit had taken possession.....Exception to this belief was found in the case of saints, martyrs and especially godly individuals. The failure of the body to decompose naturally was believed to be a divine blessing rather than a demonic curse......Among the Eastern European countries there is a large variety of vampires:..SLAVIC VAMPIRES: The Slavic people inc most east Europeans from Russia to Bulgaria, Serbia to Poland, have the richest vampire folklore and legends in the world. The Slavs came from north of the Black Sea and were closely associated with the Iranians. Prior to 8th century AD they migrated north and west to where they are now. Christianization began as soon as they arrived in their new homelands. Through the 9th and 10th centuries the Eastern Orthodox Church and the western Roman Church were struggling with each other for supremacy. They formally broke in 1054 AD, Bulgarians, Russians, and Serbians staying Orthodox, while the Poles, Czechs, and Croatians went Roman. This split caused a big difference in the development of vampire lore - the Roman church believed incorrupt bodies were saints the Orthodox church believed they were vampires. Slavic vampire myths developed during 9th C as a result of conflict between pre-Christian paganism and Christianity. Christianity won out with the vampires and other pagan beliefs surviving in folklore......Causes of vampirism: being born with a caul, teeth, tail, being conceived on certain days, irregular death, excommunication, improper burial rituals etc. Preventative measures: placing a crucifix in the coffin, nailing clothes to the coffin walls and blocks under the chin to prevent the body from eating the shroud, , placing millet or poppy seeds in the grave because vampires had a fascination with counting, or piercing the body with thorns or stakes......Evidence that a vampire was at work in the neighbourhood: death of cattle, sheep, relatives, neighbours, exhumed bodies being in a lifelike state with new growth of the fingernails or hair, or if the body was swelled up like a drum, or there was blood on the mouth and if the corpse had a ruddy complexion....ROMANIA:... Romania is surrounded by Slavic countries, so it isn't surprising that their vampires are variants of the Slavic`s. They are called Strigoi based on the Roman term strix for screech owl, came to mean demon or witch.Different types of strigoi: strigoi vii are live witches who will become vampires after death. They can send out their soul at night to meet with other witches or with Strigoi mort who are dead vampires. The strigoi mort are the reanimated bodies which return to suck the blood of family, livestock, and neighbours.A person born with a caul, tail, born out of wedlock, or dieds unnatural death, or died before baptism, was doomed to become a vampire. As was the seventh child of the same sex in a family, the child of a pregnant woman who didn't eat salt or was looked at by a vampire, or a witch. Being bitten by vampire, meant certain condemnation to a vampiric existence after death.The Vircolac which is mentioned in folklore was more related to a mythological wolf that could devour the sun and moon, later became connected with werewolves rather than vampires. The person afflicted with lycanthropy could turn into a dog, pig, or wolf....A vampire was usually first noticed when it attacked family and livestock, or threw things around in the house. Vampires, along with witches, were believed to be most active on the Eve of St George's Day (April 22 Julian, May 4 Gregorian calendar), the night when all forms of evil were supposed to be abroad. ....A vampire in the grave could be told by holes in the earth, an undecomposed corpse with a red face, or having one foot in the corner of the coffin. Living vampires were found by distributing garlic in church and seeing who didn't eat it. Graves were often opened three years after death of a child, five years after the death of a young person, or seven years after the death of an adult to check for vampirism....To prevent a person becoming a vampire: removing the caul from a newborn and destroying it before the baby could eat any of it, careful preparation of dead bodies, preventing animals from passing over the corpse, thorny branch of wild rose in the grave, and placing garlic on windows and rubbing it on cattle, especially on St George's & St Andrew's days.To destroy a vampire, a stake was driven through the body followed by decapitation and placing garlic in the mouth. 19th century people shoot a bullet through the coffin. For resistant cases, the body was dismembered and the pieces burned, mixed with water, and given to family members as a cure.......GYPSIES AND VAMPIRES:... Even today, Gypsies frequently feature in vampire fiction and film, no doubt by Bram Stoker's book "Dracula" in which the Szgany gypsies served Dracula, carrying his boxes of earth and guarding him. Gypsies arrived in Romania a short time before Vlad Dracula was born in 1431.Their religion is complex and varies between tribes, they have a god called O Del. And the concept of Good and Evil forces and a strong relationship and loyalty to dead relatives. They believed the dead soul entered a world similar to ours except that there is no death. The soul stayed around the body and sometimes wanted to come back. The myths of the living dead added to and enriched the vampire myths of Hungary, Romania, and Slavic lands.Home of the Gypsies, India has many mythical vampire figures. The Bhuta is the soul of a man who died an untimely death. It wandered around animating dead bodies at night and attacked the living like a ghoul. In northern India could be found the brahmaparusha, a vampire-like creature with a head encircled by intestines and a skull from which it drank blood...The most famous Indian vampire is Kali who had fangs, wore a garland of corpses or skulls and had four arms. Her temples were near the cremation grounds. She and the goddess Durga battled the demon Raktabija who could reproduce himself from each drop of blood spilled. Kali drank all his blood so none was spilled, thereby winning the battle and killing Raktabija...Sara or the Black Goddess is the form in which Kali survived among Gypsies. Gypsies have a belief that the three Marys from the New Testament went to France and baptised a Gypsy called Sara. They still hold a ceremony each May 24th in the French village where this is supposed to have occurred...One was called a mullo (one who is dead), was to return and do malicious things, suck the blood of a person (usually a relative who had caused their death, or not properly observed the burial ceremonies, or who kept the deceased's possessions instead of destroying them as was proper.)...Female vampires could lead a normal life and marry, but exhaust the husband. Anyone with a hideous appearance, missing a finger, or had animal appendages, etc. was believed to be a vampire....Even plants or dogs, cats, farm animals could become vampires. Pumpkins or melons kept in the house too long would start to move, make noises or show blood...To get rid of a vampire people would hire a dhampire (the son of a vampire and his widow) to detect the vampire. To ward off vampires, gypsies drove steel or iron needles into a corpse's heart and placed bits of steel in the mouth, over the eyes, ears and between the fingers at the time of burial. They placed hawthorn in the corpse's sock or drove a hawthorn stake through the legs. Further measures included driving stakes into the grave, pouring boiling water over it, decapitating the corpse, or burning it... BATS: In South America, Camazotz was a bat god of the caves living in the Bathouse of the Underworld. In Europe, bats and owls were long associated with the supernatural, mainly cuz they were night creatures. The Gypsies thought them lucky - they wore charms made of bat bones. And in England the Wakefield crest and some others have bats on them. How did bats end up associated with vampires? Three species of vampires bats in the entire world, which occur in Central and South America. 16th century the Spanish conquistadors first came into contact with them and recognized the similarity between the feeding habits of the bats and those of their mythical vampires. Over the following centuries the association became stronger and was used by various people James Malcom Rhymer who wrote "Varney the Vampyre" (1840).EIGHTEENTH CENTURY VAMPIRE CONTROVERSY: 18th century, there was a major vampire scare in Eastern Europe, responsible for England's current vampire myths. The word Vampire came into English language in 1732 via an English translation of a German report of the much publicized Arnold Paole vampire staking in Serbia. Western scholars seriously considered the existence of vampires for the first time. It all started with an outbreak of vampire attacks in East Prussia in 1721 and in the Austro-Hungarian empire from 1725-1734: Peter Plogojowitz and Arnold Paole. Plogojowitz died at the age of 62, came back a couple of times after his death asking his son for food. When the son refused, he was found dead the next day. Plogojowitz returned and attacked neighbours who died from loss of blood. Arnold Paole, an ex-soldier turned farmer who had been attacked by a vampire years before, died while haying. People began to die and it was believed by everyone that Paole had returned to prey on the neighbours....Government officials examined the cases and the bodies, reports and books were published afterwards of the Paole case and distributed around Europe. The controversy raged for a generation. The problem was exacerbated by rural people having an epidemic of vampire attacks and digging up bodies all over the place. Scholars said vampires didn't exist - they attributed reports to premature burial, or rabies which causes thirst...Dom Augustine Calmet, French theologian and scholar, put together a carefully thought out treatise in 1746 which said vampires did exist. This had considerable influence on other scholars at the time. Austrian Empress Marie Theresa sent her personal physician to investigate. He said vampires didn't exist and the Empress prohibiting the opening of graves and desecration of bodies. This was the end of the vampire epedemic......................How do you become a vampire?...There are many possible routes of becoming a vampire. Some mythological routes are:..*Suicidals, eretics, schismatics and excommunicants:... The Church has long considered suicide one of the unforgivable sins. It was commonly believed in Christian Europe that such souls were unable to rest in the grave, especially in hallowed ground. Their bodies could not decay and return to their original dust (the most commonly accepted proof of vampiric infection) and they left their graves at night to prey upon the living who were granted the chance of salvation that they were denied. The act of excommunication prohibited one from receiving the sacraments of the church. This case is similar to that of the suicide. He who died excommunicant was believed to be unable to return to dust or to find release from the body....*Sinners:.. Those who were particularly cruel or violent in life were believed to be prime candidates to return from the grave as vampires. Those who led dissolute or debauched lives were also likely to return as vampires. This, of course, was only the case for those individuals who did not repent and receive absolution before death. The soul was bound to the body, preventing the natural decomposition and bound in servitude to Satan.....*Witches and wizards:.... Those who practiced black magic or summoned spirits were believed to servants the devil and particularly subject to vampirism. If a witch or a black sorcerer died unrepentant he, like the suicide or the excommunicant, and was more subjected to demonic infestation, was bound to earth and unable to pass into the next world. The offspring of a witch or a sorcerer were also subjected to becoming a vampire after death. This was especially true if there was reason to suspect that the child might be the result of a union between a witch and an incubus or a sorcerer and a succubus......*Werewolves:.... Unlike the vampire, the werewolf was not generally believed to be immortal. It was commonly held that when a werewolf died he was most likely to return as a vampire. Those who were killed by a werewolf were thought to be prime candidates for resurrection as a vampire. ...*Natural-born vampires:.... People watched births in order to detect children who might be potential vampires: illegitimate children of illegitimate parents, those with birthmarks, born with teeth, children with red hairs, seventh sons or daughters, children born with a membrane covering their heads (cauls). In slovic countries where most had dark hair and eyes, any child who was blue-eyed and redheaded would become vampires after death.....*Other beliefs: having a cat or other animal jump over the corpse before it gets properly buried, or being murdered and not attaining revenge for the murder, drinking the blood of a vampire, would turn you into a vampire............. But the anti-life as a vampire is not all that bad, take a look at they`re Main Powers:.... *Ability to multiply by contamination...*The vampire as a negative image of the Christ - that gave his blood to save men, Nosferatu give blood to corrupt souls and propagate evil. The Vampire is self-sufficient and despite the attraction he may provoke, seems to be beyond â€œsexualityâ€..... *Life time:..The vampire does not age nor will it die from the passing of time, though it may appear to age if it goes sometime without feeding. However, the vampire can also undergo a rejuvenate with the blood supply..Most of the vampire's powers increase with age and experience. Dracula is considered as the Master of all Vampires but it is unsure if he was the first vampire on earth. .....*Invulnerability:...Immune to most diseases and is invincible to mortal weapons. When moving about during the day or when resting in his coffin is he subject to physical harm. ....*Strengh:..Physical strength greatly exceeds that of mortals. Dracula is described as having the strength of twenty strong men. ....*Shape-shifting:....Command several animal creatures such as the wolf, rat, fox, owl, bat and moth and is also able to assume the form of a wolf or a bat and possibly any of the other animals subject to his command. Or a mist or dust cloud drifting in the air. ...May alter his size within certain limits, becoming either larger or smaller. And climb walls much like a large insect, normally or with his head toward the ground much like a spider.... *League with the demons:...In modern stories and series, the vampire gets the ability to command magical or monstrous beings (demons, zombies, ...), which seems natural as the vampire is in connection with the devil. .... *Hypnotic mind control:...Much like the snake and the bird, the vampire may exert his will over the will of his victim, even to the point of inducing a catatonic state. This power explains why victims often have no memory of being attacked. For some vampires, these abilities come easily, for others in a more difficult fashion, and still others not at all. ............. Draculaâ€™s special powers:..These abilities may be specific to Dracula and not generally available to other vampires. Dracula was a master in occult arts and black magic and acquired additional powers through pacts with satanic entities...* Within a limited range, the Count has the power to control the weather. He often uses fog or mist to cover his movements.... * Telepathy, telekinesis and other mind powers: Dracula has the power to become invisible and to pass unseen among his enemies.... * Necromantic power. Dracula can raise the dead that will come as zombies at his command.......... And as it is with every good thing, there`s a bad.... Main Weaknesses:..*Sleep:..The vampire is obliged to sleep during the day and to rest upon a protective layer of hallowed ground from its native land, and will rest in its coffin during the day in a trance that keeps him aware of things happening around it. The vampire may only leave its resting place at sunrise, noon or sunset. This is clearly the vampire's time of greatest vulnerability since it is helpless when resting within its coffin. .... *Light is destructive:..During the day of light, the vampire is severely weakened. Most will not leave the dark but the experienced vampire is able to move and act as a human. Nevertheless, he loses his supernatural abilities and mortal weapons may harm him. .... *Repelled/harmed by religious symbols:..Across most of Europe, the vampire, as an agent of Satan, was held to be subject to the dominion of the symbols of Christ. The Cross-, Holy Water and other symbols of the Church were almost universally held to be powerful weapons against vampires, werewolves, witches and other spawn of Satan...This conception has evolved with centuries and the propagation of the vampire myth beyond the Christian world. The consensus seemed to be that the power of the symbol derived from the faith of the wielder (or more rarely, from the belief of the vampire) rather than any intrinsic power of the symbol itself. If a person try to intimidate a vampire with a cross but has no faith, the cross will be useless. Christian symbols may be replaced with other religious symbols according to the belief system of the wielder and/or vampire. In other words, if a person, confronted by a hungry and hostile vampire, presents any symbol, which they truly believe to represent the power of Light and Goodness, their very belief will manifest itself in a force sufficient to drive away the undead...... *Absence of reflection:...This also that his image does not appear on film or any other device that requires a light (or heat) source to produce and image. A flame can be seen through his body. Vampires are believed not to show in photographs or to cast shadows. A reason given for this is the old idea of the reflection of the soul into the mirror, since vampires have lost their souls they cast no reflection. .... *Other limitations :...* May not enter a home unless he is freely invited in by one of the residents. From the first time he has been invited, he may come and go at will.... * May not cross running water, except at the ebb and flow of the tide. He may be carried over or at certain times he may change shape and fly or jump over. If the vampire becomes immersed in running water he is completely helpless and will be destroyed. The reason comes from the analogy of standing water to the mirror.... * Vampires cannot cross a thicket of wild rose or a line of salt. Vampires are compelled to stop and count every grain in a pile of grain or numerous objects (often grain) thrown into their path......How to prevent somebody from becoming a vampire ?.... *The Burial:...According to some beliefs in Eastern European countries, in order to prevent a vampire from chewing its way out of the grave, people would stuff the mouth with certain coins or dirt, or prop the mouth shut. In Romania, people buried a candle, a coin, and a towel with the corpse to prevent vampirism. Garlic or millet could be stuffed into the nostrils, eyes, and ears of a corpse to prevent vampirism. Apparently, vampires are obsessed with tying knots, and can become so engaged in the task that they neglect to rise and kill. In Northern Germany, corpses are buried enlaced into nets, so they cannot leave their graves until they have untied all the knots. Greeks will cast fishing nets over their doorways to keep vampires out; this same obsession will force the vampire to count every knot before he can enter. .....â€˜appeasing' apotropaics, which stop the vampire and remove its urge to kill and spread disease. ..Countering' apotropaics anhilate such harmful ability of the vampire by using a natural anti-substance with a more powerful counter-ability .'Constricting' apotropaics paralyze the vampire making him therefore unable to leave his grave and spread death and destruction. Destructive apotropaics keep vampires in chess by killing them. ... How to kill a vampire: *Stakes:... In Eastern Serbia, small pegs made out of hawthorn wood are driven into the grave next to the cross, preventing the corpse from becoming a vampire, also driven into the body. The Devil cant 'inflate' the body so it can rise. Stakes can be simply driven over a corpse's grave, so if it becomes a vampire and tries to rise, it will impale itself.*Sharp objects:....Sickles have a very simple and effective use in stopping vampires. When the corpse is burried with the sickle over its neck, should the corpse become a vampire and try to rise from its grave, it will cut its own head off. Another way of using the sickle involved piercing the corpses heart with it, a custom probably inspired from the use of the stake. Thorns and other spiny objects were used in a similar way. They can also be inserted under a corpse's tongue to prevent it from sucking blood.... *Crucifixholy water/:...Anything that resemble to a christian cross and has been blessed will repell the vampire. Also holy water inside his empty coffin, it will prevent Dracula from returning to rest there. Putting a wooden cross on a household's door or smearing tar on it in the shape of a cross would keep vampires away....*Silver bullets:...A consecrated bullet fired through the coffin at this time will kill him. Some vampireâ€™s hunters used silver holly bullets to destroy the vampires they chased. A Serbian belief also states that a silver coin inscribed with a cross, cut into quarters, loaded into a shotgun shell, and then fired at a vampire will kill it.... *Garlic ,wild rose, wolfsbane:... Wolfbane was mentioned in the Bela Lugosiâ€™s Dracula and used in place of garlic. According to some beliefs, when put under a mattress or crib with a silver knife, wolfsbane keeps both vampires and werewolves away. The garlic causes Dracula to leave the room or immediate area, from Transylvania. Wild rose placed atop the vampire's coffin will imprison him. This flower has the same effect as garlic. It also immobilizes the vampire when placed on him....Other repellants:...Many substances can be strewn along a vampire's grave and the path to the graveyard to hinder it should it attempt to rise; millet, sea sand, mustard seeds, oats, linen seeds, carrot seeds, and poppy seeds. Poppy seeds are especially useful cuz their inherent narcotic nature causes a vampire to wish to rest in its grave instead of walk. Accounts exist of supposed vampires having their caskets filled with poppy seeds to keep them in their graves.....There is only one good and sure method of permanently destroying the vampire:...First drive a wooden stake through his heart then sever his head. Donâ€™t waste any time between both operations, as vampires are resistant. The body should then be burned and the ashes scattered or burried at a crossroads. If someone uses the stake or burns the heart, but fails to cut off the head, the vampire turns into a cloud of fog and reconstitute its body when out of reach.....Modern vampire-hunters would recommend extreme heat, which can be achieved with military-class flamethrower.
Which Magical Dark Creature Are You?

Vampire
"Black Widow you are a Vampire. You are damn sexy you hot, hot midnight lover you - I love you. In folklore you are a corpse that rises from the grave during the night, and for nourishment or pleasure sucks the blood of humans. Various talismans and herbs supposedly avert vampires, but, according to tradition, they can be destroyed only by cremation by stakes driven through their hearts. You like people to have high or even intimidated feelings towards you. You love to gloat - but pretend to be modest. Definitely the slyest and most elegant of all of the creatures, your dark mystery and painful passion attracts all to your bed and mouth. Marry me, you hot beast." Tihi ;)
I`m the Green Fairie, sure love my Absinth ;)

Television:

I sometimes watch C.S.I, Viva la Bam, Jackass, Wallander, Lost, sometimes Invasion and Ghostwhisper...but both usually suck, Hex, Yo mama..haha. That 70`show, Malcom in the middle, documentary about serialkillers...I don`t really watch tv that much.........Welcome to Hell, The nine circles of Hell......... Once upon a time, there was the world, and it was good. Then people got all pissed off about everything, and there was violence and sin, and that was bad. Then people decided they needed a device to stop people from doing so much violence and sin, and there was Hell, and it was good.....Hell is the ultimate deterrent, an eternity of pain and suffering. You can't come up with a much more brutal retribution than that. The only catch is that the deterrent only works when people a) believe in it, and b) fear it so much that they lay off the violence and sin....There are a number of problems selling Hell to the public at large. For one thing, eternity is a difficult concept to get your head around. For another, everyone has a different idea about how the cosmos works morally. For Hell to succeed, it has to be horrific beyond belief, and ideally it needs to be drilled into the heads of children at a very early age, so that the fear will stick even after the intellect has grown past the concept....The earliest concepts of Hell were less punitive than nihilistic. Early humans had to come to terms with the concept of death, and a number of ideas were developed along these lines.....The most optimistic viewpoint was reincarnation, present in many cultures around the world, but the ancient Jews were not the most optimistic lot, so they added a layer of unpleasantness to the Great Wheel of Life....Before being reincarnated, they believed, the soul made a pit stop in Sheol, a depressing underground place where every day is Monday, and it always looks like it's just about to rain but it never quite does. No eternal pit of fire, but the good times are definitely over. Some Jewish sects believed that reincarnation came after a spell in Sheol, others just kind of left souls there to rot (or whatever souls do).....Other early religions had various concepts of a bad place where dead people hang out. The ancient Hindus believed in Hell before switching over to reincarnation. Egyptians believed in an underworld, where souls traveled through trials before returning to their bodies. The Romans and Greeks shared a version of Hell called Hades, which heavily influenced later renditions. But the Judeo-Christian Hell was the one that really stuck.....The Jewish Sheol eventually evolved into Gehenna, which roughly equates to purgatory. A place where souls are punished or cleansed of their sins, but the concept was never "proven" as an established teaching, leaving the matter of an afterlife largely to individual believers.....The coming of the Christians changed all that. When Jesus Christ arrived on the scene, a new set of contradictions arose. On the one hand, Jesus taught of God as a loving father figure, in sharp contrast to the vengeful God of the Old Testament. But love and hate are a double-edged sword. Although the Christian God had a whole lotta love on hand for believers, sinners were condemned to the fiery pit....As the Christian church became more complicated, so too did the vision of Hell. By the middle ages, Hell was a rather well-defined place. The ultimate map of Hell was drafted by Dante in his epic poem Inferno, part of his inappropriately named "Divine Comedy."......Dante famously divided Hell into nine concentric circles of increasing nastiness, behind a gate with the logo "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here":........* Circle One: Almost every student struggling through a Catholic school education inevitably arrives at the theological question: What happens to innocent people who are not baptized through no fault of their own? The Church invented "limbo" for this concept; Dante made it the first circle of Hell, a sort of Hell Lite. The first circle of Hell offers a kinder, gentler repose for noble pagans born before Christ and other generally cool historical figures who happen not to be Christians, such as Homer, Ovid, Socrates and presumably figures like Ghandi and maybe Malcolm X. Captives in the First Circle of Hell were subjected mostly to the ravages of generalized anxiety disorder without the benefit of Paxil but with all the side effects (nausea, asthenia, constipation, infection, dry mouth, yawn, diarrhea, sweating, decreased appetite, sleepiness, dizziness, insomnia, tremor, nervousness, and sexual side effects)........... * Circle Two: Lust! As the most understandable of the major sins, lust only makes circle two of Hell, where lustful lovers are tossed about by stormy winds and forbidden from making wild monkey love. It's unclear whether they're allowed to jerk off. Home to Cleopatra, Tristan and Isolde, the Marquis de Sade and eventually Larry Flynt........... * Circle Three: Gluttons live here, and are punished for their gluttony by being subjected to bad weather. Seasonal affective disorder is a bitch! There's also a big dog. Captives include Chris Farley and Divine........... * Circle Four: You don't hear a lot about avarice these days, but the medieval mindset classified it as a major sin. The greedy are condemned here to working for the man every night and day, doing pointless and menial tasks. Future residents include Bill Gates and Martha Stewart......... * Circle Five: The angry spend eternity duking it out here, naked in a vast river of jello (or possibly water, my Italian is a bit rusty). Look for Sean Penn, Dick Cheney and Jerry Falwell........ * Circle Six: This circle of Hell is filled with "heretics," by which Dante mostly means Muslims (though to be fair, Hell has several Popes in residence as well). This circle would technically also include figures like Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons, Martin Luther and Rael. Rumor has it John Ashcroft is planning random sweeps through the Sixth Circle in search of Terrorists. Everyone in the Sixth Circle is just an ordinary guy, BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE............. * Circle Seven: Ah, violence! You gotta love violence! Dante classified three kinds of violence: against self, against others and against God. Inhabitants spotted by Dante included Attila the Hun and Alexander the Great. Since this category includes warmongers, George W Bush is a potential future inmate. Dante's definition of "violence against God" inexplicably includes sodomy, which he classes as a more serious crime than murder, so the Seventh Circle could potentially host Robert Mapplethorpe and Oscar Wilde, who would be flayed on burning sands, while Adolf Hitler would merely be turned into a tree for the crime of Suicide. There is no justice.( According to the Dante`s Inferno Test below, this is the circle I will end up in, haha!)........... * Circle Eight: If the Seventh Circle offended your sensibilities, the Eighth is simply baffling. In the next worst circle of Hell, the sufferings of the damned would be inflicted on those who have committed the following sins (all of which are deemed more evil than murder and warmongering). In order of increasing severity: Pandering, flattery, hypocrisy, fortune telling, theft, giving bad advice, instigating trouble, alchemy, impersonation, counterfeiting, lying, and being a giant......... * Circle Nine: The Ninth Circle is for betrayers of every stripe, with all the big names in betraying thoroughly represented. Judas, Brutus, Cassius, Benedict Arnold, John Wayne Bobbit, Big Pussy from the Sopranos, Cain, Lando Calrissian, Jim Bakker, Richard M. Nixon, the Rosenbergs, Randy Savage, and finally, frozen in hell's center, Satan himself. Judas, Cassius and Brutus are actually being eternally chewed by Satan, who has an intense dislike for Shakespearean characters...............In his play "No Exit," Jean Paul Sartre said simply that "hell is other people," while Pat Benatar claims "hell is for children." This no doubt provides a meaningful highlight to some of the major differences between Americans, Italians and the French. Just don't ask what. The Dante's Inferno Test has banished me to the Seventh Level of Hell!
Seventh Level of Hell Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Dante`s definition of"violence against God"inexplicably includes sodomy, which he classes as a more serious crime than murder. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level. Here is how I matched up against all the levels:

Level Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers) Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful) Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous) Very High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) Very High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) Extreme
Level 7 (Violent) Extreme
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) Extreme
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) Very High
Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test .. "Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here." Dante
Greed: Very High
Gluttony: High
Wrath: Very High
Sloth: Very High
