• Explains how a Vampyre is not a blood-sucking mythical figure but a shaman who is skilled in gathering, using, and storing energy for magical power and personal liberation • Reveals how to gather and store energy from the world around you and shares magical techniques, manifestation methods, and practices to utilize the energy you have collected • Looks at servitors and familiars, vampyric runes, dream architecture, money magick practices, and sex magick techniques as well as advanced practices such as healing with vampyric magick In this initiatory guide, Don Webb explains how a Vampyre is not a blood-drinking, crucifix-fearing mythical figure but a shaman, someone adept at gathering, using, and storing energy for magical power, manifestation, and personal liberation. A Master of the Order of the Vampyre within the Temple of Set, the author shares a 9-month process of introspection, magical techniques, and practices that will awaken and initiate you as a Vampyre and allow you to actualize your hidden potential. Webb begins by exploring the relationship between the Vampyre and energy, explaining the basics of how to gather energy from the world around you and store it in the body, in artifacts and talismans, and in groups of people, such as a coven. In the in-depth section on the 9 stages of initiation, the author offers guided magical techniques, manifestation methods, and experiments to utilize the energy you have learned to gather and store. He examines body awareness and how we must each learn to control the inner parasites that mask our true personality and siphon our energies. He also looks at servitors and familiars, vampyric runes, dream architecture, money magick practices, and sex magick techniques. Sharing more advanced practices, Webb explores healing with vampyric magick, creating and destroying egregores, and how to fight off psychic vampires-those who steal your power and energies. By walking the path of the Vampyre, you can achieve greater self-knowledge, a deeper connection with the energies that surround you, and the power to manifest your deepest desires.
