In the vampire novel, Unholy
Embrace, the vampire that turned me is described as a horrible looking creature
whose facial features bear little resemblance to humanity. While some movies
and books have depict vampires as strange looking creatures, this cannot be
possible. Vampires are made from humans; therefore, they must look like humans.
However, there is an exception. This relates to the stories of the "Pure
Bloods," which are thousands of years old.
Much material points to Lilith,
Adam's first wife, as the source for vampires. According to a number of sources,
Lilith was made the first wife of Adam. These sources claim that Lilith was
fashioned from the earth at either the same time as Adam, or before Adam. This
made Lilith Adam's equal. Lilith refused to lie on her back while Adam took the
dominant position in sex (missionary style). Lilith believed they should make
love as equals. Adam was against this, wanting his wife to be submissive, and Lilith
left the Garden of Eden rather than comply.
Adam complained to God, who
allegedly sent Angels to talk to Lilith telling her to comply. It is reported
she refused, and as a result, the Angels killed her children. Lilith sought
revenge by taking the form of a serpent who seduced Eve to eat the fruit of
knowledge. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, Adam
endured a period of celibacy as penance. During this time, Lilith was reported
to have caused nocturnal emissions from Adam. She collected his semen and
impregnated herself with it, giving birth to demons. These children of Lilith
called Lilin or Lilim, "night-demons," or the modern term, vampires.
It is my strong belief, that in some fashion, Lilith became
the mother of the first vampires, referred to as Pure Bloods, a term found in
Ancient Babylonian Tablets. I have not been able to find any sources explaining
why Lilith's progeny developed horrible, nonhuman appearances.
