I'm not going to recur and say that during last decade satanism turned from religion, hidden deep beneath the underground into something, best described as "trendy". In connection with it, it's quite obvious that simple reading and praising of numerous "satanic" books became insufficient for many people, hence they started to look for something, that would interest them and, simultaneously, go with their beliefs and convictions. And such thing was found! "Vampirism" and "vampires" is highly winning theme, especially for those, who still didn't pass the age, when biggest pleasure obtains by reading f.ex. "Master of the rings" by Tolkien or diverse ancient myths (in particular, Sumerian). Vlad Tepes' personality (a.k.a. Master of Valachia, Vlad The Impaler, later personified with Count Dracula) obsessed a lot of young minds, therefore these people began to search for literary origins, which could possess more information, regarding different "blood cults". And, finally, these books were found, and... shortly after these latter-day "vampires" can be met everywhere! I had doubtful pleasure of meeting and associating with this sort of homo sapiens, and need I to say that their behavior, attitude, words and thoughts impressed me invariably in an extremely aggrieving way? All these yarns about their "countless victims" thus much carry a suggestion of childish naivety and desire to be "really evil satanists", that it turns out as very funny thing, at least for me. Many modern black metal bands use "vampiric" motifs and imaginery in their compositions (CRADLE OF FILTH, BLACK FUNERAL, ANCIENT, 13 CANDLES, etc.), but there is a very few number of them, who really believes in these ravings (and they are absolutely right!) Undoubtedly, this topic is greatly alluring and attractive (the same goes for all occult-mystical stuff) and personally I enjoy reading ancient legends, telling about mysterious and enigmatic "bloodsuckers", BUT it's only a kind of light reading for me, nothing else!
Yes, there're some people who drink (real) blood, named as "vampires" by someone, but they appear only as persons with rare blood disease and there's nothing mystic in it! Of course, there're others who also drink human (and not only human) blood, and here we have two versions. They're either mentally ill (most likely) or their mind is thus much stupefied with various occult literature, that they find unnatural pleasure in performing certain "satanic rituals" and accomplishing this action during their course.

"... Let me tell you about some history of the Cults of the Undead... Vampirism. It is one of the oldest if not the oldest cults in the world. It started in Sumeria (sounds doubtful - ED) and Sumerians are but Ancient Celts (have you ever studied history seriously??? - ED). It has passed down through history with such titles as the Cult of Tiamat, the Order of the Dragon, etc. I practice Vampirific (?? - ED) Magick. Vampirific spiritual energy draining within rituals and through the act of normal touch, draining the lifeforce. I practice this in the ritual chamber and also in other ways, such as music and normal speech, through the art which is words... (depends on whose words these are - ED), through commands, etc. I also practice Blood Rituals with my Bride... - we married in a satanic blood ritual. She is more or less my fledgling... But at the same time my equal... torture and pain is Love (WHAT??! - ED) I also practice mental lycanthropy, which to me is connected with the Vampire... I obtain all scenes that a wolf would... a great power... Power is blood... blood is power over life. If you tap into the lifeforce of your victims, you become as one with their fears, dreams and hopes... thus you will enter the dream state and able to drain the essence and invoke bad dreams through tormenting and draining the area of the mind... thus building my spiritual energy level.  ... I am obsessed with Transylvania... hail Vlad Tepes Dracul... he and such... his dark essence and hate are forever  and he is not dead...  ... I do drink actual blood, but mainly with my wife... I don't do it with others. I won't get Mortal sickness... like AIDS. Not many understand what Vampirism is about or about how powerful that is... this is good..."

This monologue appertains to regular "teen vampire", hiding under Baron Von Abaddon-nickname.  And this kid is not the only one, who thinks that way. All these high-flown words may strongly startle one's imagination and this person would consider him becoming a "vampire" as quite tempting perspective. Ok, go on!
This jumble of mysticism, occultism, satanism and tales of ancient blood cults is able to draw attention of only those, who know nothing of this life - especially this concerns second type of "satanists", who spend their youth in search for something most "terrifying" and "horrible", in order to become a follower of afore-mentioned "cults" later. But he, who knows himself and the world, surrounding him, will be never led by Unreality! A man with his own thoughts, who studied occultism for a long time definitely will agree with me, if I say that "vampiric cults" really took place in distant past, but people, involved in them, practiced only distorted and more fierce form of satanism, while blood was spilled in aim to achieve benevolence of "dark" deities. Consequently, it's the same nonsense as satanism! After draining one's blood, you'll attain nothing, maybe except for the possibility to be infected with different kinds of viruses and diseases... THERE ARE NO DARK DEITIES, and to worship something non-existent is just stupid, no doubts. Isn't it what christians (hated by satanists so much) are doing?  There are so-called "energetic vampires" and they exist indeed, but that is another matter. I saw such individuals and experienced their ascendancy, therefore I believe that some people can exhaust others' lifeforce and make the latters slowly wither. There's one more type of "vampires" - those, who wear their relatives out, taking everything and giving nothing instead. Anyway, it has nothing to do with "vampires" in comprehension of Baron Von Abaddon and others of that ilk...  You may ask a reasonable question - "why am I writing this?" Well, my motives are quite simple.  Unfortunately, most of today's "vampires" are very young and I only want to warn youth against
imprudent deeds and actions; my goal is simply to make them listen to my point of view, which probably appears as opposite to their convictions...
