Energy Magick of the Vampyre: Secret Techniques for Personal Power and Manifestation

by Don Webb

• Explains how a Vampyre is not a blood-sucking mythical figure but a shaman who is skilled in gathering, using, and storing energy for magical power and personal liberation • Reveals how to gather and store energy from the world around you and shares magical techniques, manifestation methods, and practices to utilize the energy you have collected • Looks at servitors and familiars, vampyric runes, dream architecture, money magick practices, and sex magick techniques as well as advanced practices such as healing with vampyric magick In this initiatory guide, Don Webb explains how to learn from the myth of the vampire to gather, use, and store energy for magical power, manifestation, and personal liberation. A Master of the Order of the Vampyre within the Temple of Set, the author shares a 9-month process to awaken and initiate you as a Vampyre and allow you to actualize your hidden potential. Webb begins by explaining how to gather energy from the world around you and store it in the body, in artifacts and talismans, and in groups of people, such as a coven. Through the 9 stages of initiation, the author offers guided magical techniques, manifestation methods, and experiments to utilize the energy you have learned to gather and store. He also examines familiars, Vampyric runes, money magick practices, and sex magic techniques. Sharing more advanced practices, Webb looks at the creation and destruction of egregores and how to fight off psychic vampires--those who steal your power and energies. Achieve greater self-knowledge, a deeper connection with the energies that surround you, and the power to manifest your deepest desires by walking the path of the Vampyre.

This is a book directed at Americans. Preferably male Americans. Male teen Americans.
I'm sorry, i really wanted to like this book.
The language is monologue - like. It shifts from being very casual and bro-type, bragging about manipulation, sex and using sentences like 'a hot witch i knew' to jumping to incredible dramatic incantations. It lacks philosophical dept for me.

As a Scandinavian with both personal and academical knowledge of runes and myths, the part of the rune alphabet, heathen myths and the wyrd had some deep factual errors and made me realize that if these parts wasn't correct, i probably can't trust the rest of the book either.

I stumbled upon this book while laid up in the hospital for a week with broken ribs. It literally jumped off the screen and said 'buy me'. So, I did. The paperback sat on my shelf for a few months until I felt better. And once I opened it (and listened--I got it on audio as well), I couldn't put it down. Much of the content speaks to me, and I can tell the rituals and exercises will be transformative! I can't thank Webb enough for writing this volume...

I would describe this book as an instruction manual on the lifestyle of vamprism. I learned a lot! There are many techniques for gathering, processing, and using energy, as well as stories and anecdotes to highlight the teachings.

A fairly dense book, it is an amazing introduction to this type of energy work, and indeed, (I imagine) a book that could carry one throughout their practice.

While most of what is in this book isn't for me, I walked away with some very useful, practical knowledge that I will integrate into my practice of witchcraft. I also have a deeper understanding of how to deal with some of the "shady" characters I know!

I was recommended this book by some people in a facebook group of being a good source of information about Psychic Vampyrism techniques. and it got generally good reviews. There is very little in here about Psychic Vampyrism which I assumed the book was about or energy manipulation. It is mainly about changing your emotional state, which is more like entry level hermetic techniques combined with NLP. There are one or two paragraphs on absorbing ambient energy, which is the sort of thing I was after, but all it says is to go into the woods or dangerous precipice where you feel emotionally charged and breathe out bad energy and inhale good energy. That was more or less it.

Apart from that, there are a number of chapters looking at different currents in the occult, as a high level overview for beginners, and providing a couple of very basic techniques from each. That seems to be quite common for books on 'vampyre magick', as there isn't really any tradition as such, nearly all of it is stolen from other LHP modern traditions and adapted to be a bit more gothic. So whilst this may be moderately interesting for some, the superficial treatment means that it is not really very useful.

There is a section at the end of the book on what films to watch that are regarded as classics by people with a fetish for the Vampyre subculture, which don't directly relate to anything they actually do. To include such a thing in a book on Vampyre Magick is ridiculous IMO.

The writing style is annoying and overly dramatic American English in places, which I find unbearable, esp. the examples of situations examining shifts in emotional state. Change your emotional state, have more energy; manipulate situations to be the centre of attention like a narcissist - this is not necessarily anything to do with Vampyrism, let alone Pranic or Psychic Vampyrism.

It seems many books on the subject can't tell the difference between actual Psychic Vampyrism and NLP or body language. I believe that many people like to call themselves Vampyres because of the image, so they can take selfies with toy store fangs or intentionally damaged teeth, and thus has a rather wide definition of what it is, so they can claim to be part of it or embodying the entirety of it. Or it is dishonest marketing as they can sell more books if they use the word Vampyre in the title.

In my view, the author could have summarised the main points of changing emotional states in a few paragraphs and without the cringe inducing examples, and merely written it as a blog or facebook post. So basically it is really underwhelming. Having an endorsement from Thomas Karlsson surprised me, perhaps he just wants to be associated with anything 'bad ass' to boost his rep or it was a personal favour. Who knows!

Grateful

I recommend this book to anyone practicing any sort of energy manipulation. It is a perfect reference manual to get inspired in energy works and to formally conceptualize into words what a fledgling has been doing out of pure "inspiration" during their private practice.


It has a great rereading value, it is not a book to sift through or power read. It is a book of applied practicality. Read, execute and take notes.



My words of Gratitude:

I honestly started reading the book at a strange moment in my life, something in me had been "Calling" to learn energy manipulation and transmutation. Heck, just before I started the book I had a failed experiment with energy transmutation and had a "short circuit" effect. Felt like dying for two days, a Gnostic friend tried to help me rebalance my body's energy flow, but it was ultimately my friend cat from nature that helped and taught me how to transfer energy. Yes, a cat, orange tabby that lived in the condo's gardens. Niko, may you rest in peace. Before his departure, I bought the book and after Niko was no longer of this plane, I felt what he taught me come to being in this book. As I read through the pages, I realized Niko had taught me in practice more than I had been previously aware. This book has encouraged my practice in great strides and even my health has improved physically and emotionally from my daily workings with energy. Always balancing my body, space and steads of power. Thank Uncle Setnakt, your words have inspired me into furthering my studies with a guiding lamp in the midst of the darkness created by ignorance and inexperience.

Using the motif and legends of the vampyre author Don Webb constructs a framework for increasing energy and self improvement by combining in esoteric methods of yoga and yantra energy work.

The book is divided Into 4 parts or book. The first book gives the basics of a vampyre to the reader. This part gives over definitions of vampyre and energy work. The second book renders rituals dedicated to increasing ones vampyre nature. Among the magicians celebrated in this section are Beverly Randolph Pashcal, Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, Edred Flowers, Michale and Lilith Aquino to name a few. The third book has actual exercises and meditation that you can use. A favorite is the demon exorcism where in a demon from your own energy advises you on bad decisions after which it dissolved back into your energy. Book 4 goes over Transylvanian lore and some basics from the temple of Set.

Vampyre Magick is definitely left handed path Magick aimed at making you achieve godhood and maximize your potential. The vampyre is the master seducer, warrior and magician . The object is to increase ones power and influence in the material world. This means getting better jobs, mates etc. I highly recommend this book.

[Bill Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestly this book did start off rather rough for me, it seemed like it was going to be very macho and bro like. As the book went on I wonder if that was a test to see who would keep reading. I will not take everything this book had to give, but there is a lot I will take from it. Also I was impressed with some of the culture topics that came up as well as needing more inclusiveness. I will be recommending it.

This is a very strange book. I think there are some good ideas in here, but it was long, long winded, and filled with some questionable concepts that I don’t think are truly historically accurate. I almost feel like someone could mine this book for a shorter pamphlet and extract some good ideas. A lot of it is very general self-help stuff, but framing it this way is sort of interesting. I really wanted to like this more.

[Timothy Lake · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was interested in this book because I love vampire stories and I am also interested in the occult. I felt there was some helpful information in this book. However, the book uses a conversational tone in places, and it seems to lack depth. Further, some of the suggestions are about how to manipulate others with psychology. I have mixed feelings about the book. I’m glad I read it, but it isn’t one of the best books on the esoteric I’ve read.

What can I say about this book? One of the best about the topic, interesting, powerful, realistic. Webb has done wonderful work. Really recommended for those who want to practice vampyrism in a modern and realistic way.

[Florry · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the best manuals on energy magick and vampyric magick as well. Anyone from any path could take something useful from this book.

[Malseer (Black Witch) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting look at the subject and handy to know.

[Arthur Kemp · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some decent techniques in this, it’s a bit more of a aesthetic book for me than an actual system, although maybe I should read it again

[Joe Salt · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a lot of larping and trying to justify that being a vampire isn’t parasitic.
