Also I guess on the conversation about vampires and zombies and their origin. There's all sorts of myths. I've read a lot of them in my anthropology magic ritual and belief classes.
Zombies/undead show up all over the place. In the philipinnes (SP), they cremate the body in certain cultures because they believed that a spirit would take over and the body would rise to uncontrobally kill, a body that couldn't be killed with weapons because it was already dead.
There was also tales of a woman whose organs would detach from her body with her head, and eat out other people's bodies to use them as suits. That's pretty zombiesque
As for vampires, the earliest I've seen was slavic myths that made them mainly ghosts. Basically a person would die, and then soon other people would get sick and die. They believed it was the first person killing them even though there was no marks on them OR sometimes they'd find the person ripped apart out in the wilderness (I guess not figuring out it was wolves).
Their proof was that when they redug the first corpse, they'd find blood on their lips, nails and hair growing, and when they stabbed it in the chest, the body would groan.
I really liked that article cause it also brought up how vampires would feed off of certain body parts depending on the village. One village said they'd bite off your nipples.

Also in terms of drinking blood and/or cannibalism.
Most cultures are against cannibalism. The only times that it does show up is in a ritualized manner.
cannibalism has one major health issue and that's if you eat the brain. There's a specific disease you get from eating other people's brains.
Blood's pretty safe beside the whole blood born disease.

Matasoga Is the "windigo bird" in any way related to the wendigo? I've never heard any myths pertaining to it.
You are the apple...
Honestly, I have no clue lol. That's just what came to my mind when I read about the wendigo psychosis.
and I am your core.

The woman with the head and trailing organs is known as the pennagolan and it's actually a type of vampire. Funny how they had no idea that nails and hair would continue to grow. Also, due to embalming practices having not been developed/in use and medical science being so unadvanced, countless numbers of people were buried alive, which also helped to give rise to some of these myths. In fact, that's why they called pre funerals "wakes." The earliest vampires that actually contributed to the rise of the Western vampire mythos were between the 15th and 16th century, but the earliest records are of Hecate and her companions.

I guess if I had a point, is that there is no actual standard for any of these things. Vampires can be ghosts and show some odd behavior. It really should just be under the catagory of undead myths.

I guess if I had a point, is that there is no actual standard for any of these things. Vampires can be ghosts and show some odd behavior. It really should just be under the catagory of undead myths. Except that there is a standard and those two are very distinct, very different beings. Ghosts are incorporeal and vampires haven't been commonly portrayed as such for many centuries... And there was never a time when they were expressly thought to be. It was always a matter of mild implications that they could be. Ghosts and vampires have little in common aside from an undead state. Anyway, playing fast and loose with mythology like this is how you end up with mythos-ruining tripe like Twilight. Now an entire generation of idiot girls will wind up thinking that vampires are basically sun-sparkling superheros, the same way most people think that zombies are brain/flesh eaters that will turn you into one of them if they bite you. While this is a very interesting discussion, let's move it from this thread. I'd be happy to discuss it with you in it's own thread, but right now, we're just derailing someone elses.

Fine, we'll take this somewhere else.
Although I really dont see how much further this thread can go anyway, you either agree to drink blood or don't.

Blood tastes like metal. If I wanted to taste metal, I'd grab the swarf from my knives and eat that. I can't say that drinking blood is something I enjoy, but it is something I don't mind. I don't like getting blood on my clothes so I find that a lot of times, it ends up in my mouth. And I cut myself a lot (not in the emo way but because I really like my knives and enjoy playing with them) so the situation isn't uncommon for me.

Question: If you cut yourself on the arm above where the blue wrist vein is visible, you won't bleed a lot, correct?

Hmm well I've only had my own blood before (Whenever I fell or got a small cut) and I find the taste... interesting I suppose. I don't think I could ever bring myself to drink someone else's blood anytime soon though.

Sometimes if it's an accident and it's a small cut, you can suck it to try to make it clot faster (at least that's what happens to me). Don't have someone else do that to you, as you risk disease entering the body. Also, deliberately cutting yourself for blood isn't safe; too much blood can leave the body if you hit anything vital n' you don't seek help (either not in time or not at all).

That's disgusting. The only blood I might accidentally eat is in my steaks because I get them medium rare.

eh, it's alright. i have sensitive taste buds, so not only can i taste the iron in the blood, but the subtle sweetness after having something sugary or the spice that comes with a rich meal.
it happens when you are clumsy trying to do improv arts and crafts and refuse to use tissues
