Vampires & Werewolves


Today, every kid knows the legendary Count Dracula, the vampire who slept in his castle during the day and sucked the blood out of his veins at night. But what about this myth and is it even a myth? Are there vampires?

Since I am enormously interested in occultism I would like to work on this topic in this text as well as possible.


What are Vampires?

Vampires look like humans because they were humans before they changed. According to a myth, a human being turns into a vampire when a cat jumps over his corpse (dead body) or open grave. Another myth says that a human must have the blood of a vampire in the organism when he dies and when he wakes up he must drink human blood to completely transform himself.

There are some myths about vampires and not all agree on each area but one thing is certain, all myths are sure that vampires can only stay out at night because they would not tolerate the sun's UV rays so they would burn immediately. Besides, they are immortal. Their body does not age anymore from the time they died as a human being.

The blood of humans is their elixir of life, which allows them eternal life. Vampires are basically bloodsucking night figures.


And how did these Myths arise?

Mainly the "superstition" came from Europe. More specifically from Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Hungary and eastern Austria. People used to seek a scapegoat for evil deeds such as damaging the village, harvesting, or emerging from disease. The villagers have therefore dug up the graves of suspects and when they saw changes in the grave, they immediately struck the body in the heart and then burned the body on the grounds that he was a vampire and came out of his grave at night to do harm.

Over time, the "vampire" became more and more popular with authors who mentioned these night creatures in their books and made films with vampires.


According to the myths, vampires can move at an unusually high speed. Their injuries heal incredibly fast thanks to their vampire blood and they can heal other creatures by letting them drink their blood. They have 2 super-sharp canines that they use to bite into the carotid artery of humans and so suck their blood.

Vampires can only enter an inhabited house or apartment when the owner invites the vampire. After that, the vampire can come in every time. Vampires should also have an immense power, which means they can easily jump 100 meters or lift a heavy bus. Their hearing is so good that they can hear for up to 10km.


Now something about the werewolves.

Werewolves came in history much earlier than vampires. A werewolf is a human that can turn into a wolf. Myths say that men made a pact with the devil and got a belt of fur from him, which should help them turn into a monster. An old myth says that long ago a witch cursed her husband and planted the gene of a wolf in him because he was unfaithful to her.

The man propagate himself, and so the curse stretched on for generations. But this curse had to be triggered first, in which the man kills a person. The man was bound to the full moon by the curse. So every time it was full moon, he had to turn himself into a wolf and at the same time he suffered infernal pain because all the bones in his body were broken during the transformation.


Already in the first century, a man was reported, who turned into a wolf at full moon and lived for several years as an animal before he turned back into a human. Since then, stories are told over and over again about such incidents.


Their characteristics?

The myths say that a werewolf as well as a vampire can move very fast. He had incredible self-healing powers and tremendous strength. Werewolves are said to be much stronger than vampires. Her sense of smell is a thousand times better than that of a dog.


And what's behind the war between vampires and werewolves?

Werewolves have a better sense of hearing and smell, they are faster and stronger. A vampire has no chance against such a beast.

An exact origin of this war can not be found.


My opinion?

I find these myths incredibly interesting and I am simply fascinated by these creatures. And who knows? Maybe these are all stories and incidents that are based on the truth anda few supernatural beings are living among us. Or, these myths are just fictional stories and fairy tales. It is up to each one to decide what he believes.
