Psi Vampirism is a term that was created to describe the act of feeding without direct physical contact from the energies emanating from any living thing. It is often generalized that this feeding comes from people alone, but this is a misconception. This energy can be gleaned not only from people, but also animals or forces of nature such as a storm, wind or even the turning of a tide. The only limit to its uses is deemed by the preferred tastes of the vampire that is feeding.

Many of our kind would snub their noses at the thought of not feeding from a human, but don't let this snobbery misguide you. Animals and nature, while providing a more passive feed, often provide a purer feed than one can usually find in a person. In psi feeding, depending on your ability, you need merely be in the vicinity of your donor in order to take the desired life force. Once more advanced, it becomes possible to feed from a donor simply by picturing them in your mind without the necessity of their presence (see also astral feeding) If done with the proper intentions, psi feeding is the least harmful and safest manor of feeding for vampire and donor alike. Its benefits may not last as long as other means, but its availability is undoubtedly more plentiful.

When psi feeding from a person, the energy is usually gained from energy put off by the donors emotions. Each of us develops our own "taste" so's to speak as to what emotions we like the best. Generally it seems the lower vibratory emotions (lust, anger, fear, etc.) seem to be the most "filling" in many cases, but some have also developed a taste for other emotions (love, contentment, elation ). In any case, in order to feed usually one must be in a location near a person or a group of people experiencing these emotions in order to facility absorption of the energy. The donor(s)) may or may not be aware of what is occurring. As an ethical issue, it is generally understood that over consumption in any situation (with or without the donors knowledge) is not acceptable behavior. In psi vampirism, over feeding can leave a donor feeling anything from physically exhausted to mentally depressed. It is never acceptable behavior to harm or damage a donor for any reason. There are those who break this law and commit what is commonly called a psychic attack. Generally the one committing a psychic attack is attempting to feed from fear (fear can be gleaned in many non harmful ways. Sitting in a theatre playing a scary movie, riding a roller coaster, role playing, etc). Whether you are human or vampire, there are methods of defending against a psychic attack, which you can learn about in a later article or consulting the Elder for instruction.

Many vampires find their best feedings in crowded social gatherings i.e. night clubs, raves, amusement parks, while others having more particular tastes may seek to feed from only individuals. In these cases, the difference in what is being sought can be compared as follows. Jimmy and Suzy are at the supper table. Jimmy always lets mama slap whatever she wants to on his plate and eats it all because he loves it all. But Suzy will only allow peas to be put on her plate, and oh DON"T forget the butter! A pea without the butter is just not a pea at all! All humor aside, there truly are those that would not desire to feed from a group, let alone a group in a place such as a night club, where they have "polluted" their bodies with drugs and alcohol. This does not mean one way of feeding is better or worse, it only means different vampires have different tastes.

Until next time, don't forget to butter those peas please!
