"Nor yet might we surrender you from these seats of sanctuary , and bring upon ourselves the dire, abiding vengeance of the all-destroying god Moros, who, even in Haides, does not set his victim free."

— Aeschylus, Suppliant Women 412 ff

Stuck on the idea of vampires as a kind of reverse fae, or like someone's twisted, perverse attempt at moulding humans into fae.

They're repelled by liminal spaces.

A vampire could never enter fairyland, not just because they'd never be welcomed, but because most of the usual entry-ways are naturally barred to them.

They can't cross running water. They can't be seen in mirrors. They will wait forever at a crossroads, unable to pick a direction to go in. They can't even step over a thresh-hold unless there is absolutely no ambiguity about whether they are welcome inside.

They crave human blood, iron and salt, but are repelled by herbs and plants. They are supernaturally prevented from harming you unless the rules of hospitality have been invoked.

A fairy may replace your newborn child with something unnatural and ever-hungry. A vampire will do the same, but with your grandmother's corpse.

The fae are typically associated, even in stories where they're the bad guys, with flourishing and purity. Vampires, even in stories where they're the good guys, are typically associated with decay and corruption.

The fae turn ancient human burial mounds into fancy halls for their courts. Vampires take ancient human castles and let them grow mildewed and cobwebbed, exchanging the beds for coffins, turning them into burial places.

Fae don't tend to live among humans, but can generally pass for them with relative ease if they so choose. Vampires nearly always live among humans, but tend to find not revealing themselves a huge struggle.

I can't think of many stories I've read where fae and vampires even exist in the same universe, let alone ones where they actively interact. I feel like their enmity is almost more inevitable than that between vampires and werewolves, however.

The rivalry between vampires and werewolves is, essentially, the rivalry between two apex predator species who share a territory. (Even in stories where the werewolves aren't actually hunting humans.)

The vampires hate the werewolves because the werewolves interfere with their access to prey. The werewolves hate the vampires either because they consider themselves aligned with humans (the prey species), or because they are also predators and the vampires are competing with them.

By comparison, I think there's some story potential in the fae finding something genuinely creepy and uncanny valley about vampires.

They're immortal, like them, but also dead. They can be beautiful, like them, but that beauty is something they actively require humans to sustain. They like to inhabit beautiful and ancient ex-human dwellings, like them, but they actively work to make those places dark, damp and empty.

Fairies who are unflappable in the face of all sorts of Otherworldly monsters, can look an eldritch horror in the eye(s) without blinking, and have never been phased yet by any human, but will recoil from even the weakest vampire.

Vampires who hate fairies just as much, but in a more envious way. The way that the creature for whom immortality is a curse is bound to hate the creatures for whom immortality is an eternity of sunlight and laughter.

Maybe their touches burn each other. Maybe vampires can't stand physical contact with anything so alive and vital. Maybe immortal fairies become ill from too much exposure to the undead.

Maybe they fight over the human population when their territories overlap. The fairy need for servants and people to make deals with, competing with the vampire need for thralls and blood to drink.

Just… fairies and vampires. We need more stories about them interacting.

special reminder that sacrifices take many forms and don’t always require the death of something necessarily.

We live in a capitalistic society where money directly correlates with survival. Spending your hard earned money on supplies or offerings is most definitely a valid sacrifice. Most people do not have the means or skill to go out and properly/respectfully offer up an animal. The action of hunting, slaying and recycling is not relevant to most modern people anymore. We don’t hunt in fields anymore, but we do hunt for bargains at the grocery store. We do labor at our jobs for money. We exchange that labour for produce, meat, fruit, veggies and cream. Don’t feel like you’re cheating by offering a store bought steak to your deities just because you didn’t personally butcher the cow yourself. This all still counts even if it seems non traditional.

Time is a sacrifice. Dedicating hours to creating a piece of art for your deity, a song, a poem, or studying with them can count as a sacrifice of time. Time is a form of currency. Every living moment you spend honouring your Gods is a sacrifice.

Emotional turmoil or struggle can also be considered a sacrifice. Doing intense shadow work that brings you to tears but also allows you to overcome your struggles can definitely count as an emotional sacrifice, or a sacrifice of self comfort.

Working out and training your body is also a sacrifice of comfort, you’re literally offering pain and struggle up to your Lords as proof that you are willing to overcome adversity to become stronger and healthier. That is a sacrifice, one that most people (myself included) have a very hard time preforming.

A lot of our relationships with our deities revolve around transactions, giving offerings for example in exchange for blessings. Remember that even if you don’t have something physical to offer right now, there are always things that can be sacrificed or offered to the Gods that go beyond the physical. When we willingly put ourselves through strife in an effort to make positive changes in our lives we are making sacrifices. A part of us must be killed to create space for something new. Your Gods see your efforts and cherish them, do not underestimate their value.

Hellenic Nekromanteion Ritual

This is a ritual based off of the historical accounts and known facts about the Nekromanteion practices. It is not the end all be all, rather a suggested route to go about doing it. Going in with another, more experienced person is recommended, because you will need someone to constantly be chanting and invoking the dead if possible, but also because it’s good to have a backup in case something goes wrong. Here are the steps I have created in the efforts of helping you and myself. What you’ll need: ♠ Three bloodless offerings ♠ A black sheep image ♠ Broad beans, pork, barley bread, or oysters to eat ♠ Khernips ♠ Prayers ♠ Invocations to the Dead

Step one: Cleanse yourself of miasma and pray to the gods. Ask for guidance and protection, and a blessing over you so that you may hear the voices of the dead and understand what they say. Pray to whomever you desire, some ideas include Zeus for protection, Haides for a clear view into the realm of the dead, and Okeanos for cleansing.

Step Two: Go into a pitch black room and eat the food of the dead. It is often recommended to eat things like pork, broad beans, oysters, and barley bread. (1)

Step Three: Stay in a dark room and begin to meditate. Think about what you want to learn from the dead, and specifically how you will be getting the information.

Step Four: Enter the place you will be conducting the ritual. Offer the sheep figure, and recite a hymn to Haides and Persephone.

Step Five: If you’re not with another person who will be reciting invocations to the dead, then turn on a recording of such chants. Have them recite a few and then make your first offering. Ask Haides to bring you closer to the dead, and visualize yourself passing through a gate. You have crossed the first gate of Haides. Repeats this process with the three gates, giving your biggest offering last.

Step Six: Await the dead, listen for their voices, and watch for any movement. Allow yourself to hear them, whether physically or within your mind. Remember all you hear and close down the ritual. Command all of the dead to leave for now, and thank them for their time. Do this even if you do nor hear anything.

Step Seven: For three days, focus on purifying yourself. If possible, visit sacred places such as oceans or springs. Cleanse yourself with khernips and send up prayers to the gods each day for cleansing.

Sweet gods, thank you! Now I know what my youngest dog is.

So I'm really not sure where to start with this one, but what would make an area devoid of ghosts and wights and suchlike? Can you think of something that would make a cemetery feel no different than a park? I was talking with my brother and we decided that what makes this town so very creepy is that it isn't haunted; there should be stuff here, but there's nothing. It's like something scared off or fenced out all the incorporeal folks.

There are a few things - sometimes simple geography can make it inhospitable to such creatures. Sometimes they’re asleep, because no one has interacted with them in a a very long time.Other options include trauma - sometimes things can happen which render areas ‘null’ because all the wights have been driven out in the way animals flee a disaster. Or, they can be driven out by human activity - be that ritualised wardings, certain architectural arrangements which form bindings (whether conscious or not.)In North America, in my very limited experience, there’s been a significant..disruption of spiritual ecology in places, I suppose you could say. The interplay between culture and the incorporeal is complex, in ways we as moderns don’t always comprehend. I’ll tag @theheadlesshashasheen and @bodaciousbanshee here, cause being on that continent, they may have more ideas.

bodaciousbanshee-deactivated202

Hello! Because our old mutual theheadlesshashasheen left Tumblr a long time ago I guess I have to break my witchposting hiatus.

@runecestershire, since I don’t know the specific history of your area I could never guess what could have made your town spiritually sterile. I agree that areas like that are creepy. The general reasons the Coldalbion gave are plausible. I’ll expand on those a bit with an anecdote from ecology:

My neighborhood used to have frogs. They would chirp in chorus all night. I got used to the sound after living in this apartment for a while. Then one day, a few years ago, hurricane Ida hit. The frogs vanished. I’d gotten accustomed to their singing so I couldn’t sleep for a while without playing white noise. The absence of the frogs was eerie. Every once in a while I will see a single baby frog hop by in my yard, but I never see or hear adult frogs anymore. So what happened? Well, the hurricane disrupted the ecosystem. And because of that disruption, something that eats frogs moved in.

Do I know specifically what animal is eating the frogs? No. There’s a lot of things that eat frogs because frogs are a prey animal very low on the food chain. The same goes for ghosts.

Unlike the frogs who sing all night, many urban carnivores are silent. Same goes for the kind of spirit that can eat other spirits, or a spiritual practitioner who is powerful enough to banish or block spirits from an entire town. Something or someone that high on the spiritual food chain is going to be pretty elusive.

At the end of the day, it’s none of my business what eats frogs or ghosts. Generally, I’d advise not to go poking around to find out what’s causing a lack of ghosts since a human is just a ghost piloting a meat suit.

corvusumbrielnecro

It's been a while since this has been asked, but I'll add to it, @runecestershire

Ghosts, like most of the Dead or dead-adjacent entities have very specific weaknesses: iron, and running water, and in some cases: Ash wood, Yew wood, and Fire.

But they also have predators. You see the Soul is a source of power. And your soul is made of all that you are: memories, Knowledge, experiences, and your own energy, your own magic. Even with the life force gone upon death, that's a lot of power. And with power comes temptation.

Power can be gained from souls in a multitude of ways, and one of the most common or perhaps better put, easiest ways, is eating them. Absorbing all that they are, gaining their power and knowledge. It's a recorded thing: in the Pyramid Text where the gods Shezmu and Khonsu devour the souls of God's, and teach the Pharoah to do so as well. And Anubis, as Accounter of Hearts, and the Dog Who Devoured Millions gains knowledge by eating hearts. Zeus swallowed Metis and gained her power. And old sorcerers used to do, similar to how the Mayans did: Human Sacrifice.

But....to absorb a soul is to sentence it to Oblivion. It's a terrible and unnatural act, which....is something few living mortals are cruel enough to do, which means that if the spirits weren't banished, or sleeping, then they were consumed by something....not human, or something that once was but is no longer.

Broad-winged Nyx, you clasp the hand of bright Hemera, each eve and morn, you greet her with love and sorrow for only in those moments may you embrace your child. Goddess, awesome one, in your realm are we all unblemished, in your realm do lovers’ promises ring true, in your realm are all things possible, if only until daybreak. Nyx, I honor you.

Small prayer

“Nyx, mother of the night, mother of sleep, mother of death: Might your darkness embrace me Might your energy caress me Might you be mine and Might I be yours Blessed be.“

In general

O ancient Goddess, born of Chaos and steeped in shadow, I honor you now and always. With eyes which have watched the beginnings of all that is, see us now embracing your sleep and mystery. With power that strikes fear into the hearts of the most revered of Gods,

I remember your strength when I am searching for my own. In the starless night where light shines not i will give my thanks to your Greatness, And surrender to the dark.
