Well before the Fall of one third (i think it was one third) of Heaven after they followed the MorningStar in his war against God there was another group of angels that where send to Hell for reproducing with Humans. Their children were gaints that were very violent so in order to stop the God sen the Great Flood. Those Angels were known as the Watcher. They were meant to just watch humans but they got to interested in them.

At least i think that's how the story goes. I haven't researched angels in ages.

I cant remember but I think I read some thing about angels mateing but I cant remember but as for vampieres well it depends on what you beleve its like the vampiers of China they dont even look like the vampiers we know of also alot of vampire myths come from story of anemia back when we didn't know what it was but I read a story about a vamiepo turnning into a wolf and trying to jumb across a river and he couldnt do it also some vampiers arent hurt by the cross supposedly that is a christain Idea that because silver was a holy metal it kept away unholy things that is also why we cant see vampiers reflections the mirrors of old were made from silver because we couldnt make them out of glasss and reflective paper some storys say that the vampier and a stke didn't work that after they had dug up the vampier in the day time they drove a stke through it and he didnt die he got up took the stake out and said thaks he needed something to beat te dogs away they later drove a nail through his skull to the coffin and that was the end of him apperently you can still hear him screaming sometimes not this story could be compleatly false cause when have we known of vampiers dying in the daylight?

I do understand about the stakes, Lila-chan, but what doesn't make sense is why is it every kind of wood. When people regard Rowans as spiritual trees, I'd think that only stakes made from Rowan wood be possible.
>>" and the pentacles drive me crazy when they have it pointing up, my mom freaks out, and I have to explain its only bad if its pointed down.
They basically take the paranormal to a whole new level to only make people paranoid and scared of the unexplained.

Rowan or any of the sacred trees, like Oak. Oak would make sense, since the lesson it teaches us is as far as its branches extend above, so do the roots extend below.
Rowan seeks out water... I could see it.
I could also see Yew, since it was used for coffins.

The reversed pentacle represents the Qliphoth. The reversed pentacle directly implies that the material is more important than the spiritual. Hense tying into the Qliphoth as "empty husks of holy sparks". The ten Qliphoth are in direct opposition to the ten Sephiroth.

As far as vampire and stakes I’ve always thought that in certain parts of Europe, if weird/bad stuff started happening after one of the villages died, they would blame it on the dead person not being “restful” or being an evil being. The villagers would then dig up the grave and put a stake throw the persons chest in to their coffin so the couldn’t get out and make mischief. I think that’s how it went.

when people get a cross and a crucafix mixed up.
a cross is just that, a cross
a crucafix is a cross with jesus on it.
i hate it whenever i see a movie or show where they say hey! here is a crucafix, and hand the person a normal cross. they use the word just cause it sounds cooler.

Wooden Stakes seem effective to me yet in recent movies, I.E The Blade Series, Silver is more effective. I think the general thing to do is disrupt energy flow. I shall elaborate my theory. As in Other threads to me it comes down to Energy.

Energy can be classed and devided in many ways mostly Positive and Negative energy, Positive representing general life, goodness and all things neat and white, And NEgative representing death, pain, plague, and all things black and horrible. A theory of mine for the formation of a vampire is through draining of the blood. Supposedly all vampires are inherently evil, this could be that the draining of the blood a vampire drains all the positive energy as well, leaving only the dark. By taking all the good away that leaves only evil, and the body may rise simply from this. by staking the heart which is one of the most important centers of energy you disrupt the flow of energy a vampire would need to sustain its existance, OR as vampires turn to dust usually when this is done the stake whatever its made out of causes a massive overload of energy as piercing the heartb would connect many energy pathways not normaly connected causing the body to destabalize through the overload. This viewpoint is clearly, and understand, just my belief if vampires do exist. Show me one and I will rejoice, till then I can only offer my anaylitcal services.

On to Angels and their Gender, in one movie series most popular and accurate in my opinion, "The Prophacy" Angels are depicted as Hermaphrodites, being that they possess both Reproductive organs of both genders. in my personal opinion, the gender of which an Angel appears is of their choice, them preferring whatever strikes their fancy or whatever they feel will make the beholder most comfortable.

Now for the Record, I myself have been raised in the Catholic faith. I however much more open to the idea that there are lesser entities within the world claiming to be gods, can't completely ignore or disagree that the faith may be misleading by its own brand of finatics. I however would like to ask you though to refrain from stereotyping all believers of one faith or alike faiths.

About angels' gender, I believe the bible in saying that demons can appear however they want and demons are just fallen angels. so if FALLEN angels can, why can't normal angels.

Pretty close to the truth. However, due to some sexism in Christian religion, most higher demons and angels are viewed as male, even if they were female in a previous religion (i.e. Astaroth). There is also a noticeably higher prevalence of (known) female demons than female angels, but it's usually in reference to Lilith, a character omitted entirely in modern Bibles.

On topic: One thing that bugs me to no end in entertainment is the whole "Vampire VS Werewolf" thing. There is no big, nasty blood feud between vampires and werewolves anymore than there is between lions and hyenas. They're just two species that hunt the same prey at the same time...and usually leave distinguishing marks. Not to mention, compared to some other species (i.e. succubi), both vampires and werewolves are relatively audience-friendly using the old legends.

poor lilith. its ironic that the name means pure. i plan on naming a kid lilith, its just so pretty.
but the reason they got rid of her is so sad. they didnt want women disobeying men.
oh, and about your example about lions and hyenas, there is some sort of hatred there. lions kill baby hyenas just to kill them, even when they are not hungry. they just hate each other. but i agree, its one of my pet peeves too

and I hate the catholics that disown their brothers cause they are gay, or enjoy nature than more reading bible or because they are mentally challenged.


(My grandmother is like that and I wore a pentacle and had to explain what it meant to her. she finally had nothing to say. she cant say what I choose to do in my life. she knows I'm on the other side of the world and in another of my own in my mind. )

I hate people who think roleplaying is for satan lovers and I hate jesus lady on the bus telling everyone what to believe and that they should all belevie in the powers of jesus. Also she shouldnt go around advertising that she has Jesus Juice with her. that doesnt sound right.

HERE HERE! People can have their own opinions, but they shouldn't let them form any type of bias, and they should not allow themselves to be brainwashed by reigion.

Yeah, sad about Lilith...I was in a chatroom once and a Christian guy denied her existence...Irksome.

Wow, really? Here I thought they were just rival predators on the African plains.

Good to see that someone agrees, though. I saw a video out around the time that Underworld 2 was released on DVD that was like...Gangsta werewolves VS gangsta vampires. That just made me twitch, a little; werewolves VS vampires can be tolerable if done right, but that just sounded like a bad attempt at riding the bandwagon. sweatdrop
