OMG. The whole "empaths being vampyres are 2 different sides of the same coin" answered like 80% of the questions that I have been wondering about myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜💜
Michelle Belanger is one of the best resources out there about psychic vampirism. Just by watching her Facebook lives and the shows that she's been in, she's intellectually brilliant. (Yes I'm a fan girl lol) I wonder if there's a correlation between introverts and psychic vampirism because I'm very much a loner. I'm a hypersensitive empath (which truly sucks) so much so that I had developed agoraphobia and lived in a room for 9 years only associating with family members and my best friend. People drain me and the only time I feel 'better' is when I'm in nature taking in energy from my surroundings far away from people.
Ivy I (psi vamp) also found myself exhausted from social interactions for most of my life. Look into *intentionally feeding* in those situations, because vampires can equally *take in* and *give out* energy, and an unawakened vamp is very likely to be unintentionally letting their energy be sucked into the vortex created by the group. It's like bloodletting when you need to be feeding, you're letting your already low reserves be depleted further 👍 Also just wanna say, I'm both SUPER proud of you for even admitting appreciation for and not outright admonishing vampires for existing, and super grateful for this video clearing up what seems to me to be a completely obvious truth of vampirism as natural and not explicitly predatory.

I am a bartender & Ivy funny enough feel just like you in the outside world. Blessedly my Trans Sisters, Jasmyne helped me LITERALLY with disappearing in plain sight AND the art of hearing what someone is ACTUALLY saying in their conversations. Love, love, love this video! xoxo
Ivy, I wanted to add to your bit about blood being such a spiritual thing to many cultures. In Chinese traditional medicine, blood is also seen as life force which carries the energy and it is when the blood becomes stagnant in the body that diseases form. Hence exercise like Qigong (literally means life energy movement), are meant to keep the blood moving so it doesn’t become stagnant in the body and allow diseases to develop. I’ve found that Tai Chi is a fantastic way to keep my prana flowing despite being a major introvert like yourself!!
That’s so true a true vampire is in fact an empath…usually an empath that has suffered a series of traumas…gathering from an environment or an object is easier than people…people have too many problems it’s best with people to try and help them as opposed to consume energy from them…storms and weather and magical places are my go to 😊 for active energy feeding
the empath bit is so spot on, i can always sense when someone is feeling off, yet i love driving through big city streets when the sidewalks are busy cause it feels like siphoning too little to damage yet still more than enough to boost my mood in that moment. its fuckin weird. guess im a psivamp? Ha yall go deeper into the stuff, im also introverted, i find it takes more energy to interact with a person than it does to siphon from folks who arent paying attention but also ive never consciously tried so idk.
This is exactly how I feel!! There's got to be two different types of vamps... Introverted and extroverted has got to play a factor in how we siphon energy. It only seems logical to me because I find interacting with humans is exhausting which seems counter intuitive for the traditional vamp 😂 Who knows!
Understand the feeling drained in public spaces. The more aware of the space/atmosphere/people I am, the worse it is. It helps me to visualize a lever that controls how much of “me” is present in those situations. At home where it’s safe the lever is full open, especially when I’m studying or practicing the craft. I guess it’s a form of protection? 🤷🏼♀️
That is definitely a form of protection! I have just learned that it's better for me to not be around humans so much. No matter how much I shield myself or tap into other energy sources to help me out... It doesn't matter. It drains the life out of me. I've been thinking about why that is ever since Jasmyne and I filmed this video... I think introverted Vampyres must be a different breed!
I am an empath but don't think of myself as vampirism being a part of me .I don't harvest energy from people I gather my energy by being alone and doing art or reading or baking but whatever I do it's solitary that gives me energy.
I keep struggling with this idea and I keep going back and forth... I feel the same way as you. I feel totally drained after interacting with humans. Maybe we are absorbing their energy but we are only taking their pain away? They feel good after the interaction but we feel terrible. And so we feel like the only way to recharge is to be alone so we don't have to deal with everyone's pain. I have no idea, but it seems like a rather unfair exchange 😂
I feel the same way! I was thinking that we are feeding on different energy or maybe we are overly sensitive and our aura is not worked out enough and not solid enough so we let others to feed on it too much? I cannot get it right 😂
I am too and I don’t agree with what she’s saying about empaths. I’ve met energy vampires before and most were narcissistic. And to accuse empaths of being energy vampires is typical of one. I hope all you empaths out there aren’t falling for this gaslighting.
This reminds me so much of how energy is used in The Witcher. They had to pull energy from another source so they didn’t consume themselves. Like when they used the flower in the academy.
I can relate so much with my energy being sucked out of me when I am at work and have to recharge when I get home ! I use different mineral bracelets and always cover myself with a spell of white light from head to toe to protect me from all beings ! If I don’t do this I’m completely drained ! This was fascinating and enlightening! Thanks
Wow. The bit where Jasmyne talked about being “a hybrid,” really clicked with me. I was diagnosed as a juvenile diabetic at 9 and everyone was so worried, but poking my finger ten times a day and seeing the blood come out then licking it was almost an addiction for me growing up 😂 as I got older, people loved to tell me I was too much, too morbid, etc. I’m 33 now and every time someone tries to insult me by calling me weird or too much, it literally feeds my energy and fuels my fire. So nice to see someone relate lol
At first when I saw the title I was like 'ugh, playing pretend like a hardcore twilight fan 🙄' but I listened anyway. And man, it was worth it! That was so interesting, I learned so much! I too have that mystical attraction to blood. And the part about feeding of (or harvesting) other people's energy is really resonating with me. I will look more into it. Thanks Ivy! 🧡
It is interesting to think that all humans are vampiric by nature. We feed on each others energy. It is extremely primal and imbeded in our nature. We need each other to survive. Our ancestors understood these primal needs.
I completely agree with the thought that an empath is an energy vampire, it's just that most uncontrolled empaths unconsciously absorb peoples' negative energy rather than their energetic vitality. And as one gains better control of their empathy, it's in learning to moderate your absorption rate and/or absorption type i.e. negativity/vitality. It's literally vampyric practice, lol.
Omg this interview was so juicy to me! I have always had some sort of obsession with vampires and what I believed to be their “way of life”. I am even more interested after this video! Thank you Ivy!
My thought on the Introvert vs Extrovert question (somewhere about 30 minutes in) as an outsider looking in, could it be related to the type of energy one naturally tends to harvest unconsciously? Like for example, Jasmyne as an extrovert naturally absorbs the positive energies in social situations, while you as an introvert naturally absorb the negative energies in social situations? Not sure how much that resonates, but I figured I'd throw a different perspective out there in case it clicks for you too that way.
Ivy: using your own personal power for a powerful spell will leave you exhausted! Me being bone tired after a casting a large spell: Um... 👁👄👁 I think I made a mistake.
Yeah, same here. I get all excited and amped up, and forget to use other energies. Just did some protection work and I used up all of my energy leaving me like, "Well... Crap"
Whenever someone is drawing or painting right next to me, it relaxes me like a drug lol. I've felt this since I was a child, so grateful for this video ❤️🌖🌞
Have you considered that when someone is being actively creative they are putting off a lot of energy that's generally very, very calm that even some people who aren't practicing or empaths
Wow. This is so helpful. Empaths and energy vampyre’s are the opposite sides of the same coin. So true! Here to embark on the ride of harnessing energy to benefit us, not depleting us
The Egyptians were doing Vampiric magic in a sense that they were feeding the Pharaohs ego after his death in order to have a connection to the divine through him.
Hey Ivy, this is Tammy, LOVED this Q&A with Jasmyne! You always ask the right questions so the interview SLAPS! I have ALWAYS been interested in Lilith and Vampirism. I understand now why as a Witch that I need to ground, center and shield when I am getting ready to pull energy from the Earth. And that pulling energy like I do is actually psychic vampirism. I remember when I was in the recovery room after one of my surgeries and I had asked the orderly to put on my apnea machine because I wasn’t breathing well. If you can believe it he actually refused … And I started to reach out into the room for breath (I.e. energy I.e. Chi) to save myself. I was able to use the energy I harvested to breathe. Now I realize I was acting as an energy vampire. UNREAL! Jasmyne is right, for ME at least, I was acting as an energy vampyre and just wasn’t putting a label on what I have been doing.
Thank you so much, Tammy! I'm so glad you resonated with this topic. Your story is incredible. You LITERALLY saved yourself which is just unreal! ❤️❤️❤️
I just love your channel, I certainly understand vampereric magic and how and being and empath either a introvert or extrovert can be classified as a vampire. I have children just like those one who gives and one who takes and the their both in their late 30’s and just realizing how their energy affects others and themselves. Ive been trying to teach them protection magic for years. And one of my daughters is now really trying to work on her skills. I am going to have her watch this video she might enjoy it and try to change the way she manages the energy in crowded spaces. This was an excellent video. Bravo! Blessed Be. Your Friend. 🌹RoseRaven
Very interesting topic.. Never heard of this before … I was trying to put my finger on who Jasmyne reminded me of.. then halfway through the video it dawned on me, her aura and look remind me of Morticia from the Adams Family except she’s a younger and prettier version. ✨
This makes sooooo much sense to me as far as empaths being similar to vampires or the same. I believe that I might be an empath. It certainly has been thrown around to me way before becoming a witch (btw I’m a reborn newbie witch, meaning back in the day I was interested and started practicing but life happened and I had to let go of it). I do feel extremely affected by people’s vibes around me. It can f*** up my day if the vibes are off. When the vibes are great and I am surrounded by people that like me and I feel so good. One thing that I noticed is I love going to concerts. I have been going to concerts for almost 20 years now. I prefer to go by myself. I always feel like it is the only thing lately that makes me feel alive. It has always made me feel alive so it is quite an addiction for me. Hearing her describe psi vamps made so much sense to me. I’m literally surrounded by, for the most part, positive energy that I literally absorb and it feeds my soul making me feel energized and full of life during a concert. It explains so much. I feel like I need to learn more about vampirism now so I can learn how to harvest and use energy the right way and learn how to manage it properly.
I practice magic and was never able to pinpoint what type of magick I specifically needed to use for my practice to work. Until literally, just today, I had an epiphany and realized that I can use vampire magick and may be a vampire myself, more specifically a psy vampire. And in my search to understand why I feel this way, I came across this video and I'm overwhelmed with all the good information you just provided, proving that I was directed to watch this video. Thank you so much!!!
Idk, I can see where you can compare empathy with energy vampires but to me absorbing energy isn’t the same as ‘taking’ it because we are forced to be in a society full of people emitting negative energy a LOT and we don’t unconsciously create drama in order to feed on that negative energy like actual energy vampires we just can’t help absorbing it due to porous auric field (that can be healed btw) so yeah, I can see the correlation there but I personally don’t see it as vampirism. Vampirism is about NEEDING that life force to survive. We don’t NEED it and it’s a curse to constantly not know which emotional energies are mine and which are some guy I passed on the street or people in a bus! This helped me realise that I have been going under the radar as invisible also for years by choice but never associated it with vampirism. Introversion certainly
I share the exact same sentiments. After recording this video (I think almost a year ago?) I've had time to reflect and I do agree that it is VERY different!
I love these videos that explore different perspectives and ideas that I would otherwise not be exposed to. Fascinating. Thank you for expanding my worldview 🙏
Again another wonderful video interview with Jasmyne...she has knowledge in so many things and her insight into vampyrism is amazing to hear and can help so many people not to fear a path that they feel is right for them..thank you so much for the video😄😄
Wow, this was very interesting. Not going to lie, its only recently that I've heard of Vampyric magick thanks to a video on Sky Life. Before that, I had the negative view of vampyres thanks to the New Age and love and light community. During this video, I related so much to some of the things you said, especially going to concerts an absorbing the high amounts of energy - its one of my favourite things about concerts. Thank you for this video. Much love from the UK 💖💖💖
This was so dope like for real for real. Not only did I learn more ways to expand my witch practice, I think I discovered some new things about myself for sure! I think this video helped me harvest I'm not gonna lie! Lol but thank you both for what you do and for doing this! ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you talked about the safety aspect of the blood thing. Bloodborne diseases are definitely a thing so I feel like putting it in baked goods is probably the safest way to do it!
I find it interesting that some people do say that you should be slightly drained when finishing spells or you didn't do it right. I never understood why.
Ah, yes! When you are performing spellwork, you are exerting mental and spiritual energy. It can become really tiresome especially once you start doing bigger spells. That's why it's so important to center and ground your energy before and after each spell so that you don't exhaust yourself. ❤️
This was such an interesting video. I'm in a similar position to you Ivy - I am intrigued and interested in learning more. In the past I've definitely considered that my empath ways do make me vampyric and I also do the same practice you spoke about with my hubby - he holds my hand and I receive his energy when I am feeling low and anxious. He's not witchy at all but he knows about everything I do and is supportive, so it's obviously always consensual and agreed but really interesting. I'm definitely going to look into the texts Jasmyne mentioned. 💜thanks for a great discussion. Xx
Omg this makes alot of wierd sense to me lol. My Teen has borderline personality disorder. I'm an emparh. So is she. But either end she's on it feels very much like I am drained. But I will say I have never tried or thought about trying to harvest energy (good energy) except while maybe Elemental, grounding, taking in fresh air etc. It never occurred to me to try & harvest energy from a crowd like a concert or something because I'm such a home body to avoid people lol
This was all fascinating. Interesting you talked about using your blood to like activate your tools. That is something that I do in my practice but did not realize it was of vampire practice too. I shouldn’t be surprised that I already practice some of these not even realizing it! I will be doing more research. Thank you for talking about this topic. 🖤
Don’t be ashamed of liking Twilight! They were great books! My fave vampire is Bram Stoker’s Dracula although, Interview with the Vampire is good too. On a side note: if you haven’t seen it, What We Do In The Shadows is a must see TV series. Flippin hilarious!
Could manifestation be a form of vampirism? Because your “drawing that energy” to you in someway? Your drawing life things to you. ( I love this convo!)
This was very interesting. I do not consider myself to be a vampire or empathic at all. I actually have a hard time picking up on energy at all. Example when at a concert I can tell people are enjoying them selves but I don't feel that energy in the way you and Jasmyne describe. But when you talk about absorbing the ambient energy. That sounds very much like what I do with thermal energy from a bonfire the sun or my forge. Working with a heat source is how I " recharge " if that makes sense.
How interesting! I'd love to know why we all absorb energy differently and from different sources... It really just goes to show that we all vibrate at different frequencies!
@@IvyTheOccultist it is interesting. I don't know if I am absorbing energy or not but being near a fire or in the sun does make me feel recharged and much more " awake" so maybe
I have so many questions- is alchemy a form of vampirism? ( because in some cases (in alchemy) we are talking about the self “life force” and transforming it). Hmm 🤔 (also I still have much to learn about alchemy btw😊)
I always wondered the connection between vampire and empath. Like if I sucking up people's energy unfortunately out of my control then doesn't it make me vamperic. Ladies I'm glad this was said. In some instances the energy has been intoxicating and addictive. Oh my gosh. Some people have yummy energy some people have prickly energy. Some yucky dirty. Oh my gosh I need to go study.
Could you further explain the meaning of harvesting the energy as an empath? I have always identified as an empath, only because I am sooo drained after social interactions. Feeding off energy and charging tools from this is an interesting concept also
I only know of one vampyric witch,so it’s interesting to hear other’s viewpoint on the subject. I also get so drained when I’m around people. I’m such an introvert! I would love to know your invisibility trick, if you’re willing to share. As that is my main goal when I have to be out and about 😂.
Oh wow thank you, this makes so much sense. As a witch 🧙♂️ myself there are so many ways to draw in energy and this is no different. In some way. I use to say I'm an empath, but more that I was told I am. But saying that is so new age and im not a big fan of 😒 the way you have explained it makes sense. I've always as a kid was Love the fact of vampirism even if it was more of a Hollywood or maybe even folklore. And that makes more sense about glamour magick, I do believe even glamour magic has a misconception. Thank you Jasmine for the insight it was very knowledgeable and educational.
Sometimes I feel incredibly energetic after interacting with people, but other times I feel so drained. I consider myself an ambivert and I wonder what causes me to feel differently
Great video! Explained so many things I've long been curious about but due to pop culture, felt it was dangerous or fantasy. I look forward to doing more research on this!
@@IvyTheOccultist wow thank you for replying! Your videos have been great for me lately. I've been marathoning your content to be honest! The point made about empaths being vampires was a mind blown moment as I struggle like you do and absorbing energy has been a negative for me so I'm interested to see how I can turn my experience around!
@@shonataylor3135 that is so kind of you to say - THANK YOU! 🙌 Also, I've been ruminating over the empath conversation ever since filming this video. Now I'm on a mission to figure out why we struggle so much 😂❤️ Much love!
I feel I am kept in a cage because being near to others causes them to get possessed, and many people die in ritualistic ways for me... I don't think this is the same as a vampire... I actually am sure I am not even able to be talked to directly. Its odd how in control my life is. by not me..
For me I'm getting into Vampirism as a way to feel sympathetic empathy. I have very low sympathetic empathy yet very high cognitive empathy. And rather than just viewing energy and emotions from others I want to feel it at least for a short period of time
Is it weird that I'm more bothered by the Lilith stuff( I was told by multiple Jewish practitionors that she was closed) then I am the vampirism? It was an interesting video, thanks for sharing.
I wouldn't say empaths are vampyres as they're not taking in the energy of other people but rather sensing the other person's energy while their own energy matches it's frequency which is why being around other people exhausts you. It makes no sense to say you are feeding of people's energy and yet you feel exhausted after 100% of your interactions with others it's not like coincidentally every single human you meet has "bad" energy and thats why you feel bad because you coincidentally always feed off bad energy, statistically that would be almost impossible. And regardless energy is energy and more should still fuel rather than give the feeling of depletion. Feeding from the energy of concerts makes more sense because you enjoy the environment obviously you are there to take it all in so naturally that's whats going to happen consciously or not and the energy of everyone there would likely be of a higher vibration so you take it in while your energy also atunes to a higher frequency
oh, you were talking about human vampires! those i have not seen here (maybe they move after dark, but do they fear water, that is the question). it might be that some of the human like demons are either the bad ancestors (who most people want to forget) or illusions of the mind (because the mind likes to mix things, whatever you feed it it will start to mix it, that´s how you get men with spider eyes). where i come from that´s just basic totemism ("horned devil" equals people who see goats regularly).. well, no goats here, but we have reindeer, thus we have reindeer spirits, like Meandash (look it up). it´s the same but different, that´s how you can understand everything :) (it doesn´t have to be light vs. dark, there is more untruth in that divide than truth, even if some truth also) a way more accurate divide would be those who like make belief, and those who don´t (never seen no half man half reindeer, might not exist).
For the obsessed with blood part idk if this would be considered obsessed with blood but when I was younger if my finger starts to bleed or I get a cut I'd put it in my moth despite people saying not too because it could get infected it's not good for you in my mind it was a it will make it better situation I also consider myself an empath because in certain situations I tend to absorb people's emotional energy and I've especially noticed it in large situations like groups of people feeling similar situations stuff like that but outside of the empath thing and back to the blood thing would it count if anyone's talked about blood and tasting it or I'd read vampire books about how it tasted and or felt I wanted it too and even right now for some reason thinking of tasting it makes my mouth water but when I was younger when I was given red drinks or anything that was sorta blood looking I'd joke about it being blood idk if that counts but maybe and I'd love to hear feedback I've only recently become more self aware because alot of things in my past but ik I've been told when I was younger I was literally absolutely fearless almost like I knew nothing was wrong and ik I've also am able to sense energies like when a kidnapper was near by I usally sleep like the dead but like and 30 mins before a kidnapping amber alert I was wide awake terrified and I was only able to go back to sleep once I was in a room with 2 sleeping boys and then there was also when I felt an awful energy from my house and I was like I'm not going in there I was basically forced in and not even 20 minutes later the front door opened like someone was sneaking out but an invisible someone and my dad called my name in a normal voice and keep in mind I was 3 rooms away in my room with my door shut and he was in the drive way and heard him and my family can swear I have selective bionic hearing I was also wondering if someone could help me figure out if I am a vampire I know I'm different in some way but I cant place it so I'm honestly open to anything
Wait, feeding is a bad word now? Must be a thing in those communities specifically, cause as a solo vampire who occasionally runs into other psyvamps online, I have never heard this. In fact, I'd say Harvesting sounds even more malicious. Feeding is just something predatory animals do when they need sustenance, harvesting makes me think you're slaying people by the millions to appease some old forgotten death god
OMG. The whole "empaths being vampyres are 2 different sides of the same coin" answered like 80% of the questions that I have been wondering about myself.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜💜
Yes
at its most minimum definition being a empath means you experience the same emotions as someone else is at the same time

Understand the feeling drained in public spaces. The more aware of the space/atmosphere/people I am, the worse it is.

And as one gains better control of their empathy, it's in learning to moderate your absorption rate and/or absorption type i.e. negativity/vitality. It's literally vampyric practice, lol.
Love this so much. Felt the same as a massage therapist! I totally agree with empathy being same as vampiric! So good. Great guest and information!
Omg this interview was so juicy to me! I have always had some sort of obsession with vampires and what I believed to be their “way of life”. I am even more interested after this video! Thank you Ivy!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the conversation!! Also, glad to know I'm not alone with my obsession 😂❤️
Really enjoyed this discussion. It’s fascinating to listening to Jasmyne share their knowledge! Thanks Ivy!! ❤
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! ☺️❤️ This was definitely one of my favorite conversations!
My thought on the Introvert vs Extrovert question (somewhere about 30 minutes in) as an outsider looking in, could it be related to the type of energy one naturally tends to harvest unconsciously? Like for example, Jasmyne as an extrovert naturally absorbs the positive energies in social situations, while you as an introvert naturally absorb the negative energies in social situations? Not sure how much that resonates, but I figured I'd throw a different perspective out there in case it clicks for you too that way.
Ivy: using your own personal power for a powerful spell will leave you exhausted!
Me being bone tired after a casting a large spell: Um... 👁👄👁 I think I made a mistake.
Yeah, same here. I get all excited and amped up, and forget to use other energies. Just did some protection work and I used up all of my energy leaving me like, "Well... Crap"
Whenever someone is drawing or painting right next to me, it relaxes me like a drug lol. I've felt this since I was a child, so grateful for this video ❤️🌖🌞
This reminds me of all the ASMR that I watch 😂 I think you're on to something!
Have you considered that when someone is being actively creative they are putting off a lot of energy that's generally very, very calm that even some people who aren't practicing or empaths
Wow. This is so helpful. Empaths and energy vampyre’s are the opposite sides of the same coin. So true!
Here to embark on the ride of harnessing energy to benefit us, not depleting us
I love how this sort of esoteric practices intersect so much with kink. It's like how impact play can be used to rise energy for a Ritual o Spell
The Egyptians were doing Vampiric magic in a sense that they were feeding the Pharaohs ego after his death in order to have a connection to the divine through him.
Yes! I was just doing some research on Egyptian magick this last week and what ancient Egyptians used to do with the Pharaohs is fascinating!
Hey Ivy, this is Tammy, LOVED this Q&A with Jasmyne! You always ask the right questions so the interview SLAPS! I have ALWAYS been interested in Lilith and Vampirism. I understand now why as a Witch that I need to ground, center and shield when I am getting ready to pull energy from the Earth. And that pulling energy like I do is actually psychic vampirism. I remember when I was in the recovery room after one of my surgeries and I had asked the orderly to put on my apnea machine because I wasn’t breathing well. If you can believe it he actually refused … And I started to reach out into the room for breath (I.e. energy I.e. Chi) to save myself. I was able to use the energy I harvested to breathe. Now I realize I was acting as an energy vampire. UNREAL! Jasmyne is right, for ME at least, I was acting as an energy vampyre and just wasn’t putting a label on what I have been doing.
Thank you so much, Tammy! I'm so glad you resonated with this topic. Your story is incredible. You LITERALLY saved yourself which is just unreal! ❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just love your channel, I certainly understand vampereric magic and how and being and empath either a introvert or extrovert can be classified as a vampire. I have children just like those one who gives and one who takes and the their both in their late 30’s and just realizing how their energy affects others and themselves. Ive been trying to teach them protection magic for years. And one of my daughters is now really trying to work on her skills. I am going to have her watch this video she might enjoy it and try to change the way she manages the energy in crowded spaces. This was an excellent video. Bravo! Blessed Be. Your Friend. 🌹RoseRaven
Very interesting topic.. Never heard of this before … I was trying to put my finger on who Jasmyne reminded me of.. then halfway through the video it dawned on me, her aura and look remind me of Morticia from the Adams Family except she’s a younger and prettier version. ✨
Jasmyne gives off Morticia Addams vibes!! Loved this interview!
Right?? Totally agree! 🙌
Thank you haha 🥰😂
This makes sooooo much sense to me as far as empaths being similar to vampires or the same. I believe that I might be an empath. It certainly has been thrown around to me way before becoming a witch (btw I’m a reborn newbie witch, meaning back in the day I was interested and started practicing but life happened and I had to let go of it). I do feel extremely affected by people’s vibes around me. It can f*** up my day if the vibes are off. When the vibes are great and I am surrounded by people that like me and I feel so good. One thing that I noticed is I love going to concerts. I have been going to concerts for almost 20 years now. I prefer to go by myself. I always feel like it is the only thing lately that makes me feel alive. It has always made me feel alive so it is quite an addiction for me. Hearing her describe psi vamps made so much sense to me. I’m literally surrounded by, for the most part, positive energy that I literally absorb and it feeds my soul making me feel energized and full of life during a concert. It explains so much. I feel like I need to learn more about vampirism now so I can learn how to harvest and use energy the right way and learn how to manage it properly.
I practice magic and was never able to pinpoint what type of magick I specifically needed to use for my practice to work. Until literally, just today, I had an epiphany and realized that I can use vampire magick and may be a vampire myself, more specifically a psy vampire. And in my search to understand why I feel this way, I came across this video and I'm overwhelmed with all the good information you just provided, proving that I was directed to watch this video. Thank you so much!!!
Idk, I can see where you can compare empathy with energy vampires but to me absorbing energy isn’t the same as ‘taking’ it because we are forced to be in a society full of people emitting negative energy a LOT and we don’t unconsciously create drama in order to feed on that negative energy like actual energy vampires we just can’t help absorbing it due to porous auric field (that can be healed btw) so yeah, I can see the correlation there but I personally don’t see it as vampirism. Vampirism is about NEEDING that life force to survive. We don’t NEED it and it’s a curse to constantly not know which emotional energies are mine and which are some guy I passed on the street or people in a bus!
This helped me realise that I have been going under the radar as invisible also for years by choice but never associated it with vampirism. Introversion certainly
I share the exact same sentiments. After recording this video (I think almost a year ago?) I've had time to reflect and I do agree that it is VERY different!
I love these videos that explore different perspectives and ideas that I would otherwise not be exposed to. Fascinating. Thank you for expanding my worldview 🙏
What a great interview. So interesting and fascinating!
Awesome video and interview!! So freaking interesting🙉
Glad you enjoyed the discussion!! ❤️❤️
Again another wonderful video interview with Jasmyne...she has knowledge in so many things and her insight into vampyrism is amazing to hear and can help so many people not to fear a path that they feel is right for them..thank you so much for the video😄😄
Yes!! She is amazing! Thank you for the lovely comment 🙏❤️
I didn't think I'd be interested in this topic but I watched anyway and I'm really glad I did!
Wow, this was very interesting. Not going to lie, its only recently that I've heard of Vampyric magick thanks to a video on Sky Life. Before that, I had the negative view of vampyres thanks to the New Age and love and light community. During this video, I related so much to some of the things you said, especially going to concerts an absorbing the high amounts of energy - its one of my favourite things about concerts. Thank you for this video. Much love from the UK 💖💖💖
This was so dope like for real for real. Not only did I learn more ways to expand my witch practice, I think I discovered some new things about myself for sure! I think this video helped me harvest I'm not gonna lie! Lol but thank you both for what you do and for doing this! ❤❤❤❤❤
this vid was incredibly informative and enjoyable! perfect intro for someone wanting to start with vampyric witchcraft ❤
Glad you talked about the safety aspect of the blood thing. Bloodborne diseases are definitely a thing so I feel like putting it in baked goods is probably the safest way to do it!
I find it interesting that some people do say that you should be slightly drained when finishing spells or you didn't do it right. I never understood why.
Ah, yes! When you are performing spellwork, you are exerting mental and spiritual energy. It can become really tiresome especially once you start doing bigger spells. That's why it's so important to center and ground your energy before and after each spell so that you don't exhaust yourself. ❤️
Great talk! I follow Jasmyne as well and love all the knowledge she gives
This was such an interesting video. I'm in a similar position to you Ivy - I am intrigued and interested in learning more. In the past I've definitely considered that my empath ways do make me vampyric and I also do the same practice you spoke about with my hubby - he holds my hand and I receive his energy when I am feeling low and anxious. He's not witchy at all but he knows about everything I do and is supportive, so it's obviously always consensual and agreed but really interesting. I'm definitely going to look into the texts Jasmyne mentioned. 💜thanks for a great discussion. Xx
Omg this makes alot of wierd sense to me lol. My Teen has borderline personality disorder. I'm an emparh. So is she. But either end she's on it feels very much like I am drained. But I will say I have never tried or thought about trying to harvest energy (good energy) except while maybe Elemental, grounding, taking in fresh air etc. It never occurred to me to try & harvest energy from a crowd like a concert or something because I'm such a home body to avoid people lol
This was all fascinating. Interesting you talked about using your blood to like activate your tools. That is something that I do in my practice but did not realize it was of vampire practice too. I shouldn’t be surprised that I already practice some of these not even realizing it! I will be doing more research. Thank you for talking about this topic. 🖤
Don’t be ashamed of liking Twilight! They were great books!
My fave vampire is Bram Stoker’s Dracula although, Interview with the Vampire is good too.
On a side note: if you haven’t seen it, What We Do In The Shadows is a must see TV series. Flippin hilarious!
Haha thanks for validating me 😂 And I've been meaning to check out that TV series!! Will do! 🙌
Could manifestation be a form of vampirism? Because your “drawing that energy” to you in someway? Your drawing life things to you. ( I love this convo!)
I watch both of you religiously. Love this interview 💜
❤️❤️❤️
Wow.. empaths are energy vampires 🤯 mind blown 🤯 You are right!
This was very interesting. I do not consider myself to be a vampire or empathic at all. I actually have a hard time picking up on energy at all. Example when at a concert I can tell people are enjoying them selves but I don't feel that energy in the way you and Jasmyne describe. But when you talk about absorbing the ambient energy. That sounds very much like what I do with thermal energy from a bonfire the sun or my forge. Working with a heat source is how I " recharge " if that makes sense.
How interesting! I'd love to know why we all absorb energy differently and from different sources... It really just goes to show that we all vibrate at different frequencies!
@@IvyTheOccultist it is interesting. I don't know if I am absorbing energy or not but being near a fire or in the sun does make me feel recharged and much more " awake" so maybe
I have so many questions- is alchemy a form of vampirism? ( because in some cases (in alchemy) we are talking about the self “life force” and transforming it). Hmm 🤔 (also I still have much to learn about alchemy btw😊)
I always wondered the connection between vampire and empath. Like if I sucking up people's energy unfortunately out of my control then doesn't it make me vamperic. Ladies I'm glad this was said. In some instances the energy has been intoxicating and addictive. Oh my gosh. Some people have yummy energy some people have prickly energy. Some yucky dirty. Oh my gosh I need to go study.
Great interview. Love you both!
Could you further explain the meaning of harvesting the energy as an empath? I have always identified as an empath, only because I am sooo drained after social interactions. Feeding off energy and charging tools from this is an interesting concept also
I would love to know more about this too! I have not personally been able to figure this out... Hopefully Jasmyne can give us some insight here ☺️
Thank you both for sharing this information, it helps me understand energy and empathy in a fresh way.
I definitely have an obsession with vampires I'll read any good romance vampire book I can get my hands on
I only know of one vampyric witch,so it’s interesting to hear other’s viewpoint on the subject. I also get so drained when I’m around people. I’m such an introvert! I would love to know your invisibility trick, if you’re willing to share. As that is my main goal when I have to be out and about 😂.
Oh boy, maybe I can make a video about the invisibility glamour one day! That's actually a great idea. I'll add it to my list ☺️ Thank you! 🙏
@@IvyTheOccultist That would be awesome! Thank you, Ivy!
Oh wow thank you, this makes so much sense.
As a witch 🧙♂️ myself there are so many ways to draw in energy and this is no different. In some way. I use to say I'm an empath, but more that I was told I am. But saying that is so new age and im not a big fan of 😒 the way you have explained it makes sense.
I've always as a kid was Love the fact of vampirism even if it was more of a Hollywood or maybe even folklore. And that makes more sense about glamour magick, I do believe even glamour magic has a misconception.
Thank you Jasmine for the insight it was very knowledgeable and educational.
❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes I feel incredibly energetic after interacting with people, but other times I feel so drained.
I consider myself an ambivert and I wonder what causes me to feel differently
I need to look more into this. I did a vampire boyfriend spell when I was a teenager.😅
Can you do a video on vampirism symbols and meanings?
Great video! Explained so many things I've long been curious about but due to pop culture, felt it was dangerous or fantasy. I look forward to doing more research on this!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! 🙏❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist wow thank you for replying! Your videos have been great for me lately. I've been marathoning your content to be honest! The point made about empaths being vampires was a mind blown moment as I struggle like you do and absorbing energy has been a negative for me so I'm interested to see how I can turn my experience around!
@@shonataylor3135 that is so kind of you to say - THANK YOU! 🙌 Also, I've been ruminating over the empath conversation ever since filming this video. Now I'm on a mission to figure out why we struggle so much 😂❤️ Much love!
I feel I am kept in a cage because being near to others causes them to get possessed, and many people die in ritualistic ways for me... I don't think this is the same as a vampire... I actually am sure I am not even able to be talked to directly. Its odd how in control my life is. by not me..
Twilight Fangdom!!!
Yes!! 🙌👏
For me I'm getting into Vampirism as a way to feel sympathetic empathy. I have very low sympathetic empathy yet very high cognitive empathy. And rather than just viewing energy and emotions from others I want to feel it at least for a short period of time
So you have NPD?
Is it weird that I'm more bothered by the Lilith stuff( I was told by multiple Jewish practitionors that she was closed) then I am the vampirism? It was an interesting video, thanks for sharing.
Hey what are you eating on daily basis? Carnivore diet?
I wouldn't say empaths are vampyres as they're not taking in the energy of other people but rather sensing the other person's energy while their own energy matches it's frequency which is why being around other people exhausts you. It makes no sense to say you are feeding of people's energy and yet you feel exhausted after 100% of your interactions with others it's not like coincidentally every single human you meet has "bad" energy and thats why you feel bad because you coincidentally always feed off bad energy, statistically that would be almost impossible. And regardless energy is energy and more should still fuel rather than give the feeling of depletion. Feeding from the energy of concerts makes more sense because you enjoy the environment obviously you are there to take it all in so naturally that's whats going to happen consciously or not and the energy of everyone there would likely be of a higher vibration so you take it in while your energy also atunes to a higher frequency
Love this, thanks
oh, you were talking about human
vampires!
those i have not seen here
(maybe they move after
dark, but do they fear water,
that is the question).
it might be that some of the
human like demons are either the
bad ancestors (who most people
want to forget) or illusions of the
mind (because the mind likes to
mix things, whatever you feed it
it will start to mix it, that´s how you
get men with spider eyes).
where i come from that´s just
basic totemism ("horned devil"
equals people who see goats
regularly).. well, no goats here,
but we have reindeer, thus we have
reindeer spirits, like Meandash
(look it up).
it´s the same but different,
that´s how you can understand
everything :)
(it doesn´t have to be light vs. dark,
there is more untruth in that divide
than truth, even if some truth also)
a way more accurate divide would
be those who like make belief, and those
who don´t (never seen no half man
half reindeer, might not exist).
😂
Holy Spear-it wizdoom
confirmation ❤🎸
For the obsessed with blood part idk if this would be considered obsessed with blood but when I was younger if my finger starts to bleed or I get a cut I'd put it in my moth despite people saying not too because it could get infected it's not good for you in my mind it was a it will make it better situation I also consider myself an empath because in certain situations I tend to absorb people's emotional energy and I've especially noticed it in large situations like groups of people feeling similar situations stuff like that but outside of the empath thing and back to the blood thing would it count if anyone's talked about blood and tasting it or I'd read vampire books about how it tasted and or felt I wanted it too and even right now for some reason thinking of tasting it makes my mouth water but when I was younger when I was given red drinks or anything that was sorta blood looking I'd joke about it being blood idk if that counts but maybe and I'd love to hear feedback I've only recently become more self aware because alot of things in my past but ik I've been told when I was younger I was literally absolutely fearless almost like I knew nothing was wrong and ik I've also am able to sense energies like when a kidnapper was near by I usally sleep like the dead but like and 30 mins before a kidnapping amber alert I was wide awake terrified and I was only able to go back to sleep once I was in a room with 2 sleeping boys and then there was also when I felt an awful energy from my house and I was like I'm not going in there I was basically forced in and not even 20 minutes later the front door opened like someone was sneaking out but an invisible someone and my dad called my name in a normal voice and keep in mind I was 3 rooms away in my room with my door shut and he was in the drive way and heard him and my family can swear I have selective bionic hearing I was also wondering if someone could help me figure out if I am a vampire I know I'm different in some way but I cant place it so I'm honestly open to anything
Wait, feeding is a bad word now? Must be a thing in those communities specifically, cause as a solo vampire who occasionally runs into other psyvamps online, I have never heard this. In fact, I'd say Harvesting sounds even more malicious. Feeding is just something predatory animals do when they need sustenance, harvesting makes me think you're slaying people by the millions to appease some old forgotten death god
I think a servitor would be a good way to harvest energy without getting to go outside where the people are....
I'm ngl, I kinda take the excess energy. If I'm in a crowd, I just skim
So am I thanks
Drinking blood on the bus 🎶....go drink drink drink all the way to camp.
💜💜💜
calling it harvesting is so hot

Lmao love stumbling across this when starting my menstrual cycle
