The belief in life after death is a common denominator among most of the world’s major religions. According to the available archeological and anthropological evidence, this concept grew out of the earliest forms of adoration. Primitive peoples developed the notion of worship with the belief that paying homage would result in personal and group compensation. Some were monotheistic, while others worshipped many objects or deities. Whether worship meant sacrifices, complicated ceremonies or merely a mutual respect between humans and nature, it all added up to a dependence on a higher source for survival.

The Vampire persona has evolved from many true and untrue facts,‭ ‬legends and myths.‭ ‬At various times vampires,‭ ‬real and imagined,‭ ‬have been considered fiends,‭ ‬supernatural beings,‭ ‬shape-shifters,‭ ‬mentally disturbed deviants,‭ ‬satanic servants and fetish followers.‭ ‬However,‭ ‬it all began and still revolves around a taste for blood‭!
