Yes! Not only is Lark saying it, but so am I. And so will anybody else with any sense, who has read as many books as we have! Books are not always written to give information. Mostly they are written for profit. And many contain contradictory rubbish!
Don't believe everything you read!

Misukicross, that is exactly what I am saying. There are a lot of authors out there who are cashing in on the vampire craze to make money. What they are writing about and their claims have no basis whatsoever in fact. That's why it is so important to learn to read critically and not just accept something at face value.
There are those who play dress up and pretend to be vampires, I think that's as close as you'll get. Psi Vampires, if you believe in them, are humans who tap into energy when they are tired or weak. The mystical blood sucking thousand year old vampire is a bunch of nonsense that has never existed and there's a lot of evidence to back it up. If you believe, go for it, but be prepared for people to throw scientific and historical evidence at you.
Actually i didn't really say what we already know, What i wanted to say is that about summoning of entities,demons whether it's evocation or invocation the letter T is usually drawn in middle which indicates intersection of paths. It is usually drawn in middle of circle inside pentagram.Do you get it what i'm trying to say? The meaning of T indicates two path of life and death and succubus and Incubus exist in middle point. Aren't they same as the vampires? The word "vampire" means for your fulfillment you try to absorb it from others. those psychic vampire or what ever i haven't mentioned them.What i agreed from lark and brysing is that they don't exist within our material plain and also historical way of representing death.I was talking here completely different,i was actually talking about succubus and all because they have same function as what we call vampire.
i havent run across invocation or evocation symbols and circles as you describe it.
Not to say it doesnt exist but the stuff ive done doesnt include symbols like that typically.
Summoning entities means you control them and command them. They might be like vampires in your abstract way of looking at them. But thats not what ive encountered.
There are people that can be "draining" to be around...and people who take advantage of others that can be compared to fictional vampires; but they are not the living dead. Thats really the whole vampire premise that is most significant, I always thought...that you have these people that are the living dead, defied mortality and the price they paid for it was to be a parasite.
Theres lots of stuff out there, that yea, is fictional and written to make a buck. Im not gonna reiterate what was said except for that.
What people now consider a vampire, is so far removed from the original lore. They were animated corpses with no mind, Not sparkling one direction rejects.
