Elemental Vampirism and Feeding

Some say that Elemental draw is a mystical craft and not a form of vampyrism. What is your opinion?

Elemental Vampirism and Feeding

The meaning of elemental feeding is basically this: a person who can
feed from the energies of elements in nature, such as the earth
itself to the weather and also things like fire, water and even air.
This form of feeding is in abundance to everyone, not just something
for those of the vampire community. You may find that many of the
magickal community feed from these things as well for excess
energies for working their magicks.

For me writing this I want to stress the point that it is not just
psi vampires who can adapt to feeding on these energies. Even a sang
vampire who practices feeding this way will find an abundant source
of energy, which is readily available whenever needed, to take away
any edge they have from not having been able to sang feed.

It is not always the case, but most elemental feeders come from a
magickal background, such as Shamanism or Wicca, or even others who
work solely with weather magicks. In any case, many elemental
feeders are in harmony with the elements, most likely coming from a
close partnership with the earth and being able to feel its energies
running through them. So, you will find that an elemental feeder
will know about coming weather or disturbances within the earth and
in recent cases things like solar flares or excess radiation that
has been bombarding the earth from the sun and a few close planets
moving past our own.

The easiest way to describe this energy is best felt during and just
before a thunder and lightning storm. Beforehand there is a mass
build-up of pressure in the air and most people can feel this
readily, vampire, otherkin and ordinary people alike. Even to
animals is this pressure apparent.

During the storm, as is well known, there are massive releases of
energy- through sound and through light. The lightning is the one we
most consider to be "energy" as it is pure energy passing through
the air. It contains charged particles of electrons that pass
through the atmosphere that, in this simple case, can be fed upon
leaving the recipient feeling highly charged and in most instances
very hyper indeed. This is only an example of one type of elemental
feeding that can be taken straight from the air by simply allowing
oneself to soak in the charged electrons from the surrounding air.

With all weather systems if you look at weather reports you will see
that it moves in on high or low pressure. The severity of the
weather it brings forth is dependant upon this pressure level and,
the more severe the weather, the more energy that can be extracted
from it. If you think closely about it, man since ancient times has
caught the wind and used it for powering windmills. For the
elemental vampire the idea is the same - harnessing the power behind
the element and then bringing this forth as a power source that one
can use to fuel themselves with.

For myself I find that different weather brings different types of
energies, from calming to sheer aggressive energy. When this sort is
harnessed it can be brought around to the energy we need (just as we
would process/filter emotional energy from something like anger back
down to a more peaceful type of energy that won't adversely effect
us). This will be different for each one of us, but I find that
harsh precipitation mixed in with wind is a wild ride of energy that
I find immensely great to feed on. Days of pure sun shine with out a
cloud in the sky however actually drains energy from me, whilst
solar radiation makes life not worth living as it brings headaches,
burning skin and feelings of being lethargic and non functioning.

To feed from the elements is simple especially if you're a natural -
it just absorbs into the body! For others though, until this process
becomes natural, it can be taken in following the method below. (For
anyone who works differently this is not gospel, its just as I do it
and you may have to find your own techniques to feeding this way.)

First, during the storm, I expand my aura and shape it like sails.
In most instances looking at this it will appear like two sort-of
butterfly wings, protruding from the body. The energy passing
through these sails from the atmosphere is charged, either from
electrons in the air to something as simple as potential energy
moving to kinetic energy. As it passes through the sails it charges
them and, once sufficiently charged, they are brought in close to
the body, the energy is absorbed and then return the aura to its
original shape or put the sails out for more energy.

Feeding straight from the earth is one that I enjoy the most. It is
simple and effective and all you need for this is simply soft ground
that you can even bury the tips of your fingers into. Once you have
found such a piece of land, just dig the fingers as far as you can
get them into the ground and simply start to bring the energy up
through the fingers into the bodies energy stream. Once you become
proficient in this it is possible to use one hand to ground things
(like negative energies) and to use the other hand to raise energy
through the body at the same time -from this you may see a
connection to the people you see who can't walk on things like grass
with shoes on, they must walk bare foot over it to get what they
need.

So far we can see that there is an abundance of energy all around
us, so what about the air as so far we have talked only about
thunderstorms and charged electrons in the air? What about air that
surrounds us generally that hasn't had an electrical storm to charge
it?

We can look here at the laws of thermodynamics. The first states
that energy is never created nor destroyed, it merely moves from one
type to another. If this is the case then we have energy all around
us in one form or another all the time. For myself this is what I
was taught as a healer- to use this energy as using my own would be
detrimental to my health. If I can't process the raw energy around
me I can pass it through another as I find that mundanes who have no
knowledge of occult or energy workings will find this energy
refreshing. Their energy in turn is what I really need, so by
circulating in this manner, I get to aid someone else as well as
myself. However, in most instances energy CAN be taken straight from
the air by the simple method of manipulating of its type - for
instance changing an energy to a yellow, building on it until I have
something useful, then drawing it into myself to create a feed from
thin air. It's not always the greatest of feeds but it can take the
edge off of things at least.

Plants are another good way of feeding as they are connected
straight to the earth. As long as it's not a houseplant that is too
small then a good feed can be gotten from this technique. If you are
feeding from a small plant then you will see it wither and
eventually die, but for something like an established oak tree it is
entirely different. After all this is an ancient living being, that
grows on a daily basis. This technique comes somewhat from the old
statement about tree hugging - give a little, get a great deal back.
The tree will stop allowing you to feed when it doesn't want drained
anymore. Believe me, this is the case - you may even find yourself a
little drained if you try to draw out too much.

The last thing I will talk about here on the subject is the element
of fire. It is raw and produces a great deal of energy in the forms
of light and heat - which I'm sure we have all at least burned
ourselves on once in this life time!

The energy of fire can be felt at its best in front of an open fire
or a bonfire at certain times of the year. As you look into it the
flames dance and move around, never stopping until it has burned
itself out. This energy can be absorbed straight into the body as it
always naturally does through heat and, when we have absorbed enough
of it, the body tells us by releasing sweat to inform us we have
absorbed enough energy to regulate our bodies.

As I stated at the start it's not always just a vampire thing as,
for millennia, there has always been a use for elemental energy -in
magicks from a shamanistic point of view as well as a feeding source
for our own kind.

I often draw from the elements, I get absolutely wired during electrical storms and I can't seem to stay out of the water when its lightning. I don't exactly consider feeding from the elements vampyrism only because it obtained from a force of nature that isn't what we scientifically accept as living. It does tend to fulfill the need but for me at least it is almost like takeing a drug. The pure concentrated energy almost always supercharges me and if I don't have a way to expend some of it find it sometimes leaves me feeling exhausted and wanting more. In general I try to skim a steady flow of energy form whatever is around me.

I think the difference in what those who draw from the elements to perform magickal workings is that they draw the energy in just to channel it right back out to aid in the work they are doing.

We on the other hand take that energy in and use it to feed our own bodies.
