Welcome to UNITED VAMPYR UNITARIAN PAGAN TEMPLE for unity through understanding & spiritual divinity; we are a united temple for REAL VAMPIRES OR VAMPYRES (however you wish to spell it) in Ohio Since Dec 18, 2003 with members everywhere for freedom of beliefs and spirituality. WE CONSISTS OF MOSTLY DARK PAGANS AND VAMPYRES. though ANY ONE W/ AN OPEN MIND CAN JOIN: WICCANS, GOTHS, THERIAN, VAMPIRE OR NOT YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. ~ Our main belief is that all religions have there basis in truth as well as untruths and by trying to understand each other we may come closer to the real truth. We believe in vampirism as our Vampyrian Spirituality and Lilith as my dark mother, however my personal belief is that vampyrism is a product of her as well the fallen angels or Gods who where cast out mating with human females which bore Vampyr children. There fore we are born not turned and we have a Vampyr soul. ~ How does one know if they are a Vampyr? I still and will always believe that Vampyres unlike humans need energy from other sources because there body does not have enough for what we are. I also believe we are spiritually different than humans and that what we are is a spiritual condition. The simple Definition of Vampyr is one who needs energy (Life force) because our bodies don't have enough for our soul. We take it through the blood (some of the life force or human energy is in the blood) of be the taking of it directly if we are strong enough. Most Vampyres are tired and drained when alone but are usually hyper, often have high anxiety, and feel high and extremely powerful when around large crowds. We may also take it from animals and nature (as well as music sometimes) but the best source is human since we are also human. Most normal people can get the energy they need from food and the sun but Vampyres often feel hungry and thirsty all the time with out satisfaction and they still feel tired especially when they are alone depending on how well they know how to feed. ~ All Vampyres have a Vampyr soul or they are just humans who practice Vampyrism. There are 2 main types of Vampyres Human Vampyres and Vampyr Spirits or gods; the Human Living Vampyres are part human and part Vampyr there are also the pure blood vampyres Spirits or Gods but they are not human and don't have a human body (possession perhaps?) Of course you won't find these Vampyres on the internet and rarely in our realm. There are also other types of Vampyres depending on how the choose to feed or feed best. There are Psychic Vampyres who feed off of the psychic energies around them (as well as life force) and Sanguis Vampyres who feed on blood which has plasma or energy (life force) contained with in it. ~ ~ OUR CREED: (you dont have to belief everything but this is what we believe): ~ As Vampyres We should know the difference between are Donors or other human friends and our other Vampyre companions Being as we are half human half demigod, Angel, or Demon (not as the Christian Demons being evil but Being of Darkness) and We are above them on the food chain but we also must respect those who give to use of there own will... ~ As Vampyes We should never be ashamed of what we are but embrace our Darkness... ~ As Vampyres We should Know that We each have the same abilities needs hunger though some are stronger than others and some prefer only some of them... ~ As Vampyres We all have A Vampyre Soul, live each life as a Vampyre, and the Vampyre soul will never eternally rest... ~ As Vampyres We all should not try to make ourselves sick by starving ourselves because we think it is bad to take energy or life force as they all will get it back and will not suffer as much as we do for the lack of it... ~ http://www.templeuvup.org ~ The Vampyrian belief is eclectic but different than most since I do not worship anything above myself. I believe most religions are based in there understandings of truth and are not complete lies just what people understand. Most Religions make people feel good that someone may be up there taking care of them if anything goes wrong they need not fear because someone up there will make it OK. That is good for most to keep them from panicking over small things since most people trend to do that. However it takes away your personal power which you can develop on your own esp if you are other kin (like Vampyres, fea, and such). Humans can develop there own divinity through Mind exercises that other kin already posses naturally. My spiritual is based in my Vampyrism and that I am a very Spiritual soul. My Vampyrian beliefs are best explained on my site or in the TempleUVUP Vampyrian Bible: ~ http://www.createspace.com/3403603 ~ IF you Wish to Help out or join us Contact me, Father J P ChrstVampyr ~ MY Contact Information: ~ My EMAIL: theuvup@templeuvup.org ~ http://www.myspace.com/uvup ~ http://groups.myspace.com/MySpaceVampyres ~ ~ ~
