"Vampires are as old as the earliest formal history of humanity. The actual ‘being’ as a vampire can be masked in different ways, however the foundational essence is always similar. In ancient Egypt, mythology and religion are mirrors to humanity and their desire for not on continued existence (survival) and mastery over their environment (power).The basic exercise of the vampire is to consume energy, in order to extend life and the power. In ancient Babylon, there are a plethora of tablets detailing the spells and lore of ghosts, vampires and demons. The Webster’s “International Dictionary” defines a vampire as “blood-sucking ghost or re-animated body of a dead person; a soul or re-animated body of a dead person believed to come from the grave and wander about by night sucking the blood of persons asleep, causing their death.” - From SEKHEM APEP by Michael W.
