Vampiric myths in and around the Indian subcontinent are as countless as constellations, with each culture, each tribe and subsets all boasting of their own mythos and lore, some so multifarious that it becomes difficult to pinpoint all.

The true concept of vampirism is less to do with drinking blood but more so with cannibalism. In pre-silk route historical accounts, if we are to abandon folklores, the fearsome nomads of the great Steppes grasslands were said to drink the blood of their enemies, and sometimes

Fun fact: the term 'vampyr' first appeared in an 11th century Slavic manuscript vilifying #Bogomils, a #Gnostic dualist heresy that was endemic to the #Balkans

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.

Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.

Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

There's a tumblr post doing the rounds about Faeries and Vampires.. and I'm not sure I agree with it.. but it has got me thinking of my own Faerie/Vampire interaction using some of their lore...

Elven blood is, by repute, the best blood. This Vamp's got a plan to get himself some of the good stuff
So yeah, plays his lute, says: "Oh look at me, just a talented young minstrel all alone in this big dark forest at night... Oh I hope some alluring women don't shown up"

Quick as a flash Queen of the Elves rocks up... "A talented young minstrel all alone in the forest? Poor baby, come along with me!"
"You're inviting me into your home?"
"Yes young man,"
He's on her horse, it runs into a hill and... they're in Faerie land.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.
The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”
The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened
People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
