The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I think it is wise to pay the piper...in advance. Here's my featured artist at this time.

Greetings. My nickname's Tree. Probably given to me because of my height. I'm 6'8" weigh about 230 lbs. brown/grey gray hair, hazel eyes and am an American of British and French heritage. Time. It is an essential part of life so let's get things rolling. I tend to be a loner being hypersensitive from the British side of my family which means our nervous systems are a bit more powerful than the average person. Couple that with unique experiences in life and one can develop in quite a different way than the average person as well.

I am a human living vampire but to me that is mostly just a state of mind empowered by subtle occult forces which I was attuned to because of my sensitivity.
But I also have vampiric traits from my French side of the family. Normally they weren't aware of it but coupled with my sensitivity could pick up on the subtle things.This trait allows us on a subconscious level to naturally drain vitality from those we create a bonds with. In the family it is the youngest that gets the worst of it and coupled with the hypersensitivity my youth as an only child was not very pleasant. I grew up as an Army brat in a strict military family that didn't understand their nature and having my vitality drained constantly was bereft of the ability to live up to the standards I was expected to live by. But I survived. Over the course of many years slowly healed as I drifted through life as a wraith shattered within. A dark and colorful one it was. It is my mission to help educate one way or another those who are vampiric so the same abuse doesn't happen to youth or the weaker unformed personalities like what happened to me.

I'm an eclectic occultist but draw heavily on the Elements of the wise to orient myself correctly. Developed my own unique way through the wilderness and prefer not even creating a path. In a nutshell it just means I use ritual magick to achieve my will but as a vampire means I include the use of people as my tools and alter. There is quite a vast scope of defining the vampire to me which has many different legends the world over that evolved. At it's base of course are the sang or blood drinkers. I sometimes have a taste for it but don't need it. Beyond that there are all kinds of ways to feed and it is a natural thing just by interacting with us the deeper the bond the deeper the feed. It really seems to depend on one's personality type and it's strength. Some are not fully formed in that regard so are not as awake as others. This site alone has a vortex of many vampires and sympathetic ones that develop traits by being around real ones continuously. The strength of one's personality again determines how things are divided up. I may be a loner but I know myself quite well having my own counsel from supernatural sources where others depend on the lies they tell themselves as well as believe from others making them quite weak.

In the span of the evolution of human medical advancement in the days of yore were restricted to concepts like the four humors and blood equated with life force, thus, superstitions regarding creatures of darkness were conceived coming back from the dead to take it from the living beyond the natural propensity of some with insight beyond one incarnation. Also worthy to note when you have individuals who could manipulate subtle energy and have out of body experiences that allows one to circumnavigate space and time it can be misconstrued as departed ones projecting from their remains in the future from the past when they were alive as a vampire rising from the grave to feed off of or haunt the living. To me it's just a matter of perceiving things correctly. So this is how many of the superstitions developed in humanity to deal with such. The many traditions of the vampire in legend avail worldwide.

Apart from that the works of gothic fiction concerning the vampire really captures my spiritual path in this life well so I draw on the legend of the vampire for this as a spirituality. Though I'm a mortal I do think one of the aspects of being awakened is knowledge of reincarnation and drawing on that power beyond the veil of death. I think everyone has an eternal spirit just becomes clear when you have awakened. To me everyone has their time in the waxing and waning cycles of nature. It is in mortality and a unique life that something gains its value. If it was shared by many for eternity then it would lose its value relatively. There is also power in blood covenants when it comes to the subtle aspects of the mysteries concerning one's microcosm. Adapted rites to a BDSM lifestyle can create quite a powerful dynamic in a linear hierarchical scheme like water from a water tower being forced into a pipe creating pressure.

Now the people that create these beings in their imagination can be linked up with and their power exploited as those two thirds of the brain not tapped can be useful. I however mainly work with the Elements of the wise and the forces of nature that I've conceived of from my unique experiences in life. I do have a connection to an elemental being and She helps me quite a bit that exists beyond the veil of the astral plane but is not a creator just a subtle creature made up of sublime energy rather than the base stuff we are in the mundane.

Hobbies. I've had many of these over the years but whatever I'm immersed in at the time seems to reflect them. Since devoting myself to occultism now it seems more in the realm of collecting magickal tools to use.

I'm not too fond of that picture I uploaded of myself above at the beginning of the profile where I let my beard grow out during the covid lock-down but it coincides with the timing of the profile creation. An important part of my crafting of my magickal tools here on the internet is the date they are created. Like this one was created when the Neowise comet was visible in the night sky as illustrated above by a professional photographer. But on the night I went out and took the picture with limited movement during the lock-down and created this profile it was overcast as it shows below. But that is the way of nature. Then when I first uploaded it in my portfolio it was upside down not having the software or service to correct the meta-tags that do that to people who upload stuff on the internet from mobile devices. I've evolved. The picture is of The Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park and the comet would have been seen in the sky in upper left corner.

Here on the internet I use music and do a fair bit of collecting of different kinds music to set the mood. I also like using scent as I think it is one of the most powerful senses beyond touch in my rites so aromatherapy has become a relatively new one. I like hiking in the wilderness and photographing it especially at night. I used to do a fair bit of gaming and reading but that's seldom of late devoting more time and energy to spiritual devotions now.

Sexuality. Hmm...I'd have to term myself as a super-sexual as of late having incorporated spiritual and tantric practices. The normal mundane stuff just doesn't satisfy me anymore. But I consider myself heterosexual as other guys just don't appeal to me. But since I've been in relationships with t-girls and being empathic there tends to be a blurring of that in the strictest sense. I try to respect another's sexuality but many just don't know or their personalities just aren't defined like some. It's in that confusion that most problems occur as they are insecure in who they are.

I do not engage in sexting. I think it is inappropriate for this site open to 13+ teens and up even if your identity is known as it sets a bad precedent to sexual predators that use this site. I see some societies advertise they are for 18+ but I'd like to know how they intend to prove someone's age while advertising the forbidden fruits to such. Beyond that there are gray areas with mentally challenged individuals in adult bodies but if they are cared for by guardians that are responsible for them it can get them in considerable trouble by engaging in sex over electronic media where they are still considered minors. It is best to seek an adult site for this if you want to engage in it like FETLIFE.

Satire is a part of this site like Cancer's Vampire Radio show or the Deb of Night from the video game: VTM Bloodlines. With the so called it crowd on this site dishing out the ridicule. So one should develop some patience in dealing with it to develop their character. Induction and earning one's sire status to be free is a cornerstone to this site. So just have to put up with it if you find yourself in similar conditions.

Rating. I spent years on this site lacking the knowledge and resources to express my content on it. So after years of journal work getting to know myself, learning to code and purchasing content I have developed a high standard in what constitutes a ten to me. First to me a profile is an overview of yourself. So you don't want to share that for whatever your reasons are than don't expect the same as others that do. You want to hide or use misdirection don't expect much of a high rating from me. It specifically says in the V.R. Manual about Rating: ...How you choose to rate a profile is totally up to you.
Different members will have different criteria for profile rating. I put up with plenty of tit for tatters talking about their karma bullshit as well the immature that revenge rate 1's and my score suffers. But What I consider a great content is what I have shared on my own and it is my own scrutiny that matters most. I don't rate until I can rate myself a ten. Still haven't perfected my portfolio yet but will eventually and will start rating those too when I can. I don't rate dead profiles but only relatively current ones preferring fresh blood than old scabs. I don't rate the database unless it's a product I have or service I use. The same goes for making entries.

As a vampire I don't think I'm capable of having friends it is more a word for naive humans. I may like or respect some more than others but that doesn't make them friends. With my sensitivity I can barely tolerate most and pick up quite a bit with my psychic senses. As far as adding journals well you maintain one that is kept current and I like it then you'll get that bonus from me.

Vampire rave was my first social network and has remained such. Perhaps in the future I'll create my own as a nexus, otherwise, when it comes to networking I prefer dealing with people in real life. Using other sites requires putting time and energy on them I don't feel like doing or I feel it's wrong. I intend to remain loyal to it til death unless removed according to TOS that I sign off on every log-in as honoring my word is important to me.
