OUR HOME OF PUNISHMENT From "Der Pazuzu", Tempel of Azagthoth (C) Emperor Norduk Black and grey clouds passed quickly above this hate-swept land. Just as the dark earth has housed the carriages of chuckling Victorian lovers, without really caring what may happen in their future, hoping for Immortal Life through their Lord Jesus Christ - but not really caring of understanding - the earth had also seen the trampling feet of great White horses of war. And upon the steeds, sat grim and hateful men - bearing swords and maces which were crusted with the Blood of many slain foes. This land had also been home one dark morning to a dying woman, plagued with a hideous disease - one of many in her time period. It was this same black earth that soaked up the tears she cried as her lungs bled and her mouth dripped dark sweet blood upon the cold ground. It was a land of hate and love, and land of darkness and Light. I walked through the forest during this night, cloaked in a dark black hood - as the shadows lengthened and the clouds moved ever closer to the earth. These were the depths of the woods, far away from the places of human inhabitation, behind the wall of the harsh winds could be heard the sounds of many a Nocturnal insect and animal. But as I moved through the forest these dark creatures did not move in, they gladly parted the way in respect and reverence. Even the grey wolf looked up in respect as I passed through the land. Many have traveled these woods with fear, expecting the darkened predators to come unto their death call at any moment. And, in the nature of things, their wishes were duly met as the pack of Wolves surrounding the screaming Opfer and tore him to bits. Hungrily gnawing on his bloodied flesh, gladly consuming that red elixer which split forth from his arteries. And when they had left, he lay there, being brought into the realm which he had only encountered (so he thought) in dreams. The realm which he had tried to ignore at every turn. But I did not travel with fear, I traveled with understanding. These were no horrible places for me, but a place of beauty. Just as one would look upon a beautiful horse running across an open field in the light of day, I recognized the inherent beauty in this nocturnal landscape. But what is more, I understood. The Deeps Ones, those who dwell in the rivers and lakes and pools within the forest, greeted me smiling. Treating me like a long lost friend. The Trolls too had no animosity towards my presence, for they too were a part of this Older greater knowledge. For those who were, in all ways, Predators, they held love in respect, for those who traveled with ignorance and fear, they knew what their purpose was, for the better of the Universe at large - they must be used for a purpose if they will not unlock their own inner potential. But I had not come to the forest for mere observance, I had observed these things many times before. There was a meeting tonight my friends, a beautiful meeting, a wonderful meeting! The young girls in the village turned back their heads upon the morning before and let out a laugh to the skies. Tonight the reward for their culling would be presented to them. Tonight - they shall see their Black Master. The Priestess of the group was a young English beauty named Leisel, her ancestors had the blood of the Alp running through their veins, they had been the Anglo-Saxon invaders that had come into the land. And with them a great Host of Spirits from the Black Woods of Old Germany, and in the Astral realm, there was much rejoicing. She was around seventeen, her current physical parents were hard workers, they dwelt in the field and hills. Watching their sheep-herd, farming their fields. She was ravishing in appearance, shining blonde hair and blue eyes - her figure, voluptuous and full. Her eyes shone with the wisdom that could be seen in few, for she was a Predator, a daughter of that High Werewolf of the Forest! And through her veins, a powerful blood flowed, the Blood of the Alp, the inheritance of the Sexual Predators of her bright homeland and of even Older Traditions, that of the Death Goddess Lilith and Hekal Tiamat. She stood now at the gate of some old ruins that were in the woods, smiling as I and the other members of the cult arrived at the place of ritual. She kissed and embraced each person. The Varcolaci were pleased by her, they crowded about her in their hideous blackened acasual forms. Now a brooding silence came over the place of ritual, which was welcome for Leisel and the other members of the cult. The Hunt was now about to begin. A small child began hitting the gong which was placed on a large piece of stone between two twisted trees, and the shiftshaping began. The forms were numerous, but because of the purpose at this time, they were all hideous. Leisel, who had since disrobed from her white garments and stood before the cult naked, arched her back as a ripple of power went through her body. Her shape began to change from that of a beautiful girl into that of a hideous beast, a Varcolaci. Her eyes were now yellow, her stature well over ten feet tall, her skin was a blackened crust with vapourous liquid dripping from the boils and scars which she had placed there - in accordance with WILL - for her own purposes. Her lips curled back in a Satanic grin, and her black tongue darted out - serpentine - to drink of a goblet of blood upon the altar. All the other Vampires followed suit, upon their complete transformations there were many different forms. Varcolaci, Werewolfs both of black and grey, pale and royal figures of the ascended Undead, bats, mists, and satyrs. By their astral eyes they spied into the Chapel, there, on the altar of Christ, adorned with the Cross, symbol of Death and Lilith awakened, the black robed figure of their Werewolf master grinned showing rows of razor-like fangs. It lifted a furred black paw, The Hunt Has Begun. THE WAMPYRE-VARCOLACI PENTAGRAM Project through the sphere of the Wampyre-Varcolaci Pentagram. Travel in your astral form to the sleeping body of your chosen Opfer (Victim). Do not just predate upon them, terrorize them, punish them, extract their Life-Force while injecting the most hideous and bizarre scenes into the Opfers dreams that you can muster. If they struggle, a fast swipe of a long taloned claw shall do the trick. Enlarge your astral body and merge into theirs, and drink deeply of the Blood.
