“This recipe is to help calm the cravings that I get when I am needing a good sanguine feed. No more. No less. It is NOT a substitute for the living energy contained within the blood.”

Permission has been given to post the recipe here.

The recipe is as follows:

INGREDIENTS

1 large can of tomato juice [something close to 64oz size? ~Sphynx]

1 half gallon of OJ with LOTS of pulp (I will explain this later)

2 larger bottles of red food color

1 small bottle of blue food color

12 crushed iron tablets *yes, it is a lot of iron, however with the mix you only drink a bit each day*
[25mg pills, so 12 x 25 = 300mg for the batch.]

18 crushed base amino tablets (such as L-lysine or the like)

Salt to taste… Remember!! Do not over salt, real blood has a minor salt content…

INSTRUCTIONS

This is best mixed in a gallon container (not a milk jug… more like one of those plastic tea pitchers)

1st Drain half of the liquid from the OJ leaving half of the liquid with ALL (or as much of) the pulp. The reason for using the pulp is to help simulate the thickness of blood, also acts kind of like a clotting agent, which adds to the illusion.

Mix in all the other ingredients, EXCEPT for the blue food color. This will be added last. Allow the ingredients to sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator. Remove the pseudo blood and begin to add drops of the blue food color to darken the bright red to a more blood-like crimson (or to a color YOU perceive is blood-like)… This too adds to the illusion and aids the sanguinary vampire in curbing his craving.

Return to the refrigerator for another hour. This allows the iron tablets and the base amino to more readily move through your concoction giving the pseudo blood that ‘coppery tang’ that real blood has.

SERVING

I tend to place mine in a coffee cup and stick it in the microwave to warm it to blood temperature (98 degrees). This is usually about 10-15 seconds depending on the microwave you are using.

**NOTE: No more than 6-8 ounces of this should be drunk in a day, there is a high iron content and this will alleviate any over indulgences of iron in your system**

I then pour mine into a goblet and drink, allowing the imagery to aid in curbing even my most damnable cravings.

SPHYNXCATVP’S NOTE

Assuming a large can of tomato juice is 64 ounces, that plus half of the half gallon of OJ (roughly 32oz by the time you pour about half out) makes about 96 oz.

A 6 ounce serviing of a roughly 96 ounce batch, as described above, will contain about 18-19 mg of iron. The tolerable upper limit of daily iron according to the NIH’s Office of Dietary Supplements is 45mg. One glass of this is certainly well within the normal limits.

A Colorado woman says a vampire’s sudden appearance caused her to wreck her sport utility vehicle late Sunday night.

The victim was driving down a dead-end dirt road in Mesa County about 11 p.m. when she said she saw a vampire in her headlights, according to Grand Junction’s nbc11news.com.

She quickly threw the SUV in reverse but backed into a canal in her haste. The SUV ended up on its side, stuck in the narrow ditch.

Troopers who arrived on the scene say they found no evidence of a blood-sucking undead traffic hazard. They also say there were no drugs or alcohol involved in the wreck.

The woman was treated briefly by paramedics, then taken home by her husband.

A Magazine article from way back in 1999 was recently hosted by the Atlanta Vampire Alliance, courtesy of Sarasvati. The article focuses mainly on sanguinarian vampires from the last millennium, but also mentions psychic vampirism. Several vampires that are still integral in the community today are quoted in the article such as Sanguinarius and Sarasvati. FATE writer Larry Mastbaum offers a very down-to-earth representation of what self-identified “Real Vampires” are, and how they represent themselves. This is a very interesting look back to the past when Real Vampirism was gaining media attention for the first time.

Zoom over to the Atlanta Vampire Alliance forum to read the article.

“He threatens criminals and undocumented immigrants with impalement but he has ‘Republican values.’ Jonathon ‘The Impaler’ Sharkey’s declaration that he will seek the Republican nomination for president is just another human interest story for the media. But what does it say that his rhetoric and positions don’t deviate appreciably from the current level of discourse?”      -Joseph Laycock

Police in Seattle arrested a suspicious man who forced the closure of several streets surrounding the King County Courthouse Friday morning.

Earlier in the morning, the director of the Seattle Union Gospel Mission, Mike Johnson, said the same man walked in, claimed he was a vampire and then showed them what appeared to be a pipe bomb.

​Jonathon Sharkey, the self-described vampire set to announce on the Ides of March that he was going to run for governor of Minnesota, and who recently skated perilously close to legal problems (again) by vanishing with 16-year-old Paige Brewer, of Faribault, said today he would instead inflict himself on the people of Florida.

His announcement brings to an end one of the weirder chapters in Minnesota politics. His announcement after the bump: Read more

When I was younger, I had a lot of trouble dealing with my vampirism, not only because of the cravings and everything else associated with them, but because I felt I was under a great deal of stress from continually trying to hide these things about myself. Everyday I went to school worrying that someone might find out that I am a “freak.” I was worried that my mom would try and lock me up, I would lose all my friends, and kids would think I was an idiot.
