Abhartach - Vampire Legend of Ireland

Les Vampire

Abhartach (also avartagh, Irish Gaelic for dwarf) is an early Irish legend, which was first collected in Patrick Weston Joyce's The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places (1875), which has led some to suggest that it may have been the prototype for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Abhartach should not be confused with the similarly-named Abartach, a figure associated with Fionn mac Cumhaill.

Burying the dead was of religious concern in Egypt, and Egyptian funerary rituals and equipment eventually became the most elaborate the world has ever known.

Enlightenment or Determined Obsolescence: A Choice for Either

Isn’t it fascinating how many of our fellows throughout humankind tend to remand their own creativeness almost entirely to the matters of divine forces that in their minds guide them in blind fashions along the many paths of ones life?

Vampyrism: Beyond Awakening

dawn awakensThere are a fair number of views of what awakening actually is. For the purposes of this piece of writing, I will give my own view of what this means as it is relevant to understanding this article. To me, awakening is recognition.
