Raphael Osiris Talks to Sondra London 02

1998 Itvw True Vampire Raphael Osiris aka Ralph Spindell

TRANSCRIPT

SONDRA:
Is this self-styled or reinvented from ancient patterns? Is it actually an tradition that has come down all the way? Or is it kind of neo?

RAPHAEL:
Some churches say that vampire occultism, worship of vampire deities, has been with us since it was first enacted in ancient cultures, and that there are just small pockets of people who have kept the traditions going on throughout the years.

SONDRA:
So this has nothing to do with the Temple of Set?

RAPHAEL:
No. Like Hecate, the Temple of the Dragon Goddess, the Vampire Goddess, that's pretty much known as the Temple of Vampire, that group pretty much states that they have been practicing that for thousands of years and they are connected with the people who founded that religion ancestrally.

SONDRA:
So it would be a mix between people who are doing this for a game, and people who have some serious spiritual beliefs. I'm interested in where it verges into violence. What is the tie-in there? What is the connection between the spiritual aspects and the ancient background, and what you might call wilding?

RAPHAEL:
There are many different types of vampires. Some practice spiritual occultism, whether it is to trying to develop or heighten the ability toward psychic development, psychic powers, awarenesses.

SONDRA:
Is this mind control?

RAPHAEL:
Mind control could be a facet of it. Most likely it's just usually just for gaining energy to help the psyche.

SONDRA:
That's ritual magic?

RAPHAEL:
Yes.

SONDRA:
What's the connection between that and Aleister Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law'?

RAPHAEL:
I'm not really into Aleister Crowley that much, so I can't deal with any parallels.

SONDRA:
So Crowley doesn't really have anything to do with the modern vampire movement?

RAPHAEL:
I haven't seen it connected to that as much. But then again, there could be those out there who bring a large part of Crowley's practices into what they consider their vampire occultic systems.

SONDRA:
I've received a letter from a vampire killer by the name of Rod Ferrell. He mentioned in his letter, "What is the most beautiful word in the universe?" And he said the word is ONE. And "Only when we attain Oneness do we attain Sanctity." Does that sound like something he learned from his vampiric occult studies?

RAPHAEL:
That sounds very plausible. Some people's interpretation of vampiric lifestyle is occult. Whether it is occultic or otherwise is the admiration of a predatory being, or a predatory nature, where you are out for yourself and you are going through your existence and getting places you want to go in life spiritually and physically through other people's sacrifices towards you.

SONDRA:
That's a psychopath, basically.

This is silly! Who made you a prince? Do you drink blood? If not you are not a vampire.

Wiki-"Vampires are mythological or folkloric revenants, who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living"

Seems to me your just living a fairytale fantasy.

What about yourself makes you a vampire? To me you look EMO, not vampireish!
