  1. Okay, so, I completely agree with you in terms of most people who consider themselves part of the ‘Gothic’ subculture to be overtly selfish, self-victimizing, and just completely ridiculous. Personally, I’ve never really believed in the concept of: “Oh, so and so hurt me so I’m going to hurt anyone else who comes into my life.” Perhaps that’s mainly because I’m a compassionate person, and was, even when I experimented with the Gothic Subculture in my teens. I still feel a connection to it purely because of the style of dress. However, I found there were elements of the Gothic Subculture that I could readily take and study on my own without necessarily having to equip the ‘dark and brooding’ pretense. That’s mainly how I got into Wicca, Divination, and several other kinds of things. Recently, you’ll notice that a majority of the Gothic Subculture has fallen into what is considered ‘Psychic Vampirism’. Honestly, I could go on about that for ages and ages, and by that, I mean that I could write a book on it.

    Psychic Vampirism got a foothold with LaVey, but it has since spread into this huge thing…even so far as one of the main leaders, Michelle Bellanger forming her own ‘House of Kepheru’ which is sort of like a Caste Religion of sorts. It’s quite interesting, and I think that you would find it interesting, particularly since I see you took so much time to research the ‘Gothic’ subculture in general.

    I’m done rambling now. :)

    See ‘Analysis of…’ for the real version.  This will offend the
    ones looking at this to laugh at it.  So of course, I’m deeply and fcken
    sincerely sorry for making you switch to that one.  But hey, if you
    wanna print out some of my early stupid sh1t and put it next to your
    LaVey pic and a poster for a band that has a disgusting name (Any will
    do); again, see ‘Analysis of…’

  2. Agreed on all the things you said about Goth women. Divination, yes, I believe there is actually divine influence, not necessarily from a goddess, but from the energy of the self.

    The Psychic Vampires that just drain people for shits and giggles make people like me look bad. Psychic Vampires actually have an ethics code they SHOULD follow which regardless of it being instated by the House of Kepheru SHOULD be followed. It’s entitled ‘The Black Veil’ if you would like to look into it. Psychic Vampirism, when practiced ethically, e.g. donor etc. I see no problem with. It just pisses me off that one or two people can make an entire community look bad.

  3. Yes, exactly. However, the idea that the energy is purely mental is a common misconception. The body has seven energy centers, which are chakras, that are rooted within our spine and in the center of our foreheads. This particular energy gives birth to our aura, and its multiple layers. There are different layers of the energy body from which vampires feed, and there are different types of energy which to feed from, but I could go on and on forever about it. I believe the we are all divine beings, it’s just a matter of awakening oneself to the possibilities. :)
