I am a vampyre. I feel the bond that grows between those that I have shared  with, and that share with me. I do not use it to control, or make them dependant on me. We are sharing a common unique relationship. Each is allowed safety and honor in that and respect for their important part of it.

I know that sometimes feeling will develop that are beyond what our relationship is about. At that time I owe them honesty and respect enough to be honest about these things so that they and I can make decisions to go forward or part ways. At no time is it ok to lead them along , playing  with their emotions so that I might feed. That is a selfish act as is emotional blackmail or leaking things they have shared with me to anyone. Trust is part of our sacred bond.

I am a Vampyre. My donors are under my care. It is up to me to teach them to protect themselves at events, and around others that might mean them harm. At no time will I place them in situations that would cause them fear danger or compromise. I also acknowledge that I have to stand back at times and not save them from things they put themselves into. To allow my donor to see me as their savior or protector only allows for dependency and drama within the community. It is my responsibility to bring any such attention seeking to their attention and suggest corrective actions. I am not their parent, or guardian in all areas of their life.

As one who senses energy of others, it is up to me to not take from a donor who is weary or vulnerable. I must cultivate self restraint.

I am a vampyre. I know that I was created this way for a purpose. One of good work and benefit to myself and others. I will carry myself with honor and remember my own place in this world. I will not despise or loathe what I am, or use it to make others feel small or less than, in my presence. We are all important in the world. I will protect my body and seek out those that have the same respect for their own, as I know they will understand the importance of good health and transmitting good energy vs just a feeding. I will be cautious as to what I expose myself to, spiritually and physically because I know this effects those I interact with.

I am a vampyre. I will not seek out personal attention that will cast negative light on my fellow vampyres or the community as a whole. I realize  that if I tell someone who and what I am, I am therefore making myself the voice of many that didn't ask me to represent them. I will carry myself with honor, respect, power and humility.

I realize that each person's spiritual path is intimately their own to walk. I can lend and ear but should never try to convert or argue with them or attempt to change their path.

I am a vampyre. I am in control of my will and actions. I will not blame my vampyrism for treating people unfairly taking what is not mine or being callus to other people around me. Vampyrism is not an excuse to run roughly over those around me. I am a strong being with a strong mind I make my own decisions good or bad and learn from them, I will not pass these choices off as merely a part of my nature.

These things I know from my experience.
