ORIGINS
Wherefore Vampires
 

There are numerous theories about the origin of vampires.  None can be proven but some have more proponents than others.  Materialist theories seek a scientific rationale.  Existential ones tend to be intertwined with Judeo-Christian concepts.  Some circles in the vampire community will identify with a particular origin theory; others consider the question speculative and irrelevant.  Perspectives on the origin of vampires from outside the vampire community are also included.

.:BRIEFLY:.

Lilith - Lilith, Queen of Demons in Jewish mysticism, is considered by some to be the first vampire.  The Biblical version of Lilith's mythos casts her as the rebellious first wife of Adam who refused to submit to him or to God...

Viral ~ Disease - The idea vampirism is caused by a disease, most prominently the K-17 or V-5 retro-viruses.  This theory has been traced back to media creations and discredited though recent research on retro-viruses may possibly revive it in some form.  There are real medical and genetic conditions that cause vampire-like symptoms (see list) that may have fueled some myths about vampires.

Astral Symbiote - A hotly debated theory that vampirism is the result of an astral symbiote that attaches itself to a human host (aka the Vampire Cooties) and alters his or her subtle energy body inducing vampirism...

Nephilim - The vampires are the result of matings between humans and Nephilim, a race of fallen angels...

Cain ~ Cursed - Cain is cursed by God after killing his brother Abel.  God then banishes him and his descendants to the Land of Nod, putting a mark upon him and declaring any who killed him would "suffer vengeance sevenfold".  Some consider vampires to be sons of Cain.  Similar are those who feel they were cursed or damned by God or any deity...

Alien ~Conspiracy - Conspiracy Czar David Icke's elaborate scenario in which 'Annunaki' rule our world in secret.  The Annunaki are an alien race of vampiric shapeshifting reptiles.  Mindboggling as it is, a large number of people are believers...

Alien ~ Starseed - There are a few psychic vampires who believe themselves to be alien in origin; Otherkin from vampiric alien races or the product, of energetic manipulation/alteration of their souls.  Many otherkin vamps feel that they are vampiric due to an inability to process the local energy as they did in their home worlds...

Merovech ~ Genetic - The belief That Merovech, the Frankish chief; was a vampire, and the Merovingian line , from which perhaps tens of thousands of families are descended, passed on a recessive genetic trait, of vampirism...

Sired ~ Made - Embrace me said the Maiden...

Possession ~ Demons - All corporeal vampirism is considered the result of possession by demons or demonic/Satanic influence by some people...

Egyptian Transformation - The Egyptian aka Khepherian alteration refers to a past eon in which a group of souls chose to be altered to enhance their spiritual evolution.  The Alteration severed their silver cord and, also broke or removed their navel chakra, pretty much hotwiring their subtle body.  As a result they became vampiric and psychically enhanced.

Evolution ~ Dharma - Vampirism is a dharma for some, a mode of being or evolutionary path that may be taken when innate tendencies are embraced under Will...
