I was watching a video of a testimony from a man who used to be a Satanic priest and is now a Christian. He said that in order for him to reach his full magical potential as a warlock he had his choice of either becoming a werewolf or a vampire. Since a few of his friends were werewolves and they said that it was quite painful, he chose to become a vampire. Have you ever heard of a similar situation where a person involved in the occult became either a vampire or a werewolf?
I don't know of anyone involved in a situation exactly like that, but I have had dealings with vampires and a werewolf. All but one of the vampires were probably a bit evil, and the werewolf was fairly benign
many people drain those around them of life force, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy. They say it's better than caffeine.
I have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.
Most of what we think about werewolves was invented by Hollywood. The ancient myths involved people donning skins, invoking the spirit of the wolf, and losing their humanity. There's a woman called Lupa who lives in a national park and becomes a wolf nightly. I met her, and I saw her lose herself to the spirit of the wolf
Lupa was at a Pagan festival. She mostly kept to herself, except for at night when she would don the wolf pelt and dance around the fire, invoking the spirit of the wolf, giving up her humanity, losing herself to the spirit of the wolf. She was naked except for the wolf skin, and her body was lean and toned like a wolf. After she was finished dancing, she went off to do I know not what.
I heard that she was nineteen, but her face showed more years. She could speak, but rarely ever did. She might have been a bit feral
I had just gone through a shamanic vision quest to find and merge with my spirit animal, which was far more domesticated, so were polite but cautious with each other, however it did give me a much greater insight into what she was doing. She was one of the most fascinating people at the festival, and for a Pagan festival, that's saying something.
I have heard of those studying the dark arts exploring vampirism, but their power can never match that of natural psychic vampires. Your stories said that becoming a werewolf was painful. From what I found out from Lupa and my own animal merger, quit the opposite. It's extremely liberating.
