I just really realized I am a psivamp and found you through witchyways' blog, but I don't have someone I can trust to be a donor and I don't know what to do. I don't want to be a bad person by having to steal it.

I would suggest meditation. Sometimes a donor can be hard to find at first, but you shouldn’t be focused on that at the moment, really. Learn what you can about yourself through meditation, it will also help take the edge off of the hunger, too. You are not your hunger. You are much more than that, I promise.

Is it normal that a psivamp would feel "phantom fangs" sometimes?

It could happen, I suppose, especially if this happens when you’re hungry. For some reason our minds can sometimes attach lore to the way we see ourselves as vampires, and sometimes this can help us, in a way, come to peace with ourselves, as well as express that side of us, even if it means phantom fangs. 

The Importance of a Mentor

Finding a Mentor, at least within the ‘official’ psychic vampire community is often frowned upon. I’m not exactly sure if this is because awakening is some sort of ‘rite of passage’ or something, but I certainly don’t see it that way. Awakening can be a very lonely and frightful experience. It is also particularly troubling for those around you who want to try and help, but they can’t. 

Personally, I strongly encourage mentors, I guess this is because I have mentored others in the past, one of my students in particular has been with me for a couple of years now. I suppose that the whole concept of the mentor is complicated, but it’s certainly doable. 

The essential groundwork for mentoring is a fairly simple and solid foundation, a blend of meditation, energy work, and shielding exercises. To me, the breath is the most important part of this foundation, and it is always what I start with, then I move into meditation and very basic shielding techniques before energy work is even touched. 

It seems to work well; however, I guess I’m curious to know if there is anyone else who has been a mentor to other psychic vampires?

I’ve heard people mention that they feel this blog is dead.

I would hate to see that happen, so I strongly encourage others to send me asks, and even ideas for things to cover, since I have the basic groundwork of the site already set up. :)

I know I'm just bouncing everywhere but I felt I should wave a flag for the "empath anon", because I myself am an empath, and I know what it's like to feel as if you're burning yourself at both ends.

Right, I know what that feels like, for sure (granted being an Empath isn’t within my field of expertise, but I have a best who is one). The reason I suggested that the Anon draw their energy in was so that they could gauge what control they had and work around it accordingly. If you can’t control your own energy flow, how on earth could you start upholding a shield? 

Meditation is also a tremendous help, I suppose I should’ve mentioned that to that Anon. Anon, if you’re reading this and have trouble, meditate, and then try. Get into a solid meditation routine, it will help you in the long run, definitely.

Question that is kind of coming from the opposite end of the energy spectrum. I'm an empath (I view it as my weakened energetic boundaries as opposed to an additional sense). The emotions of others or of a general atmosphere often affect my own mood and get reflected back out, seemingly for no reason to others. I highly value my alone time as a chance to get away from it all and recharge, as I find being around people draining. Any advice/resources on shielding and keeping my energy separate?

I like to look at empaths like copy machines. They replicate energy at an accelerated rate, so their energy fields are quite large and pulsating outwards constantly. My suggestion would be to try focusing on drawing your own energy inwards, or keeping it close to you. Once you are able to do that, then I could possibly suggest some shielding techniques that may benefit you. I don’t like throwing too much at people at once, since progress in terms of energy work is based on the individual. Work on that, and once you feel comfortable enough, we’ll talk about shielding. :)

Do you ever get a strong urge to feed? Almost like you have to? Like a blind urge?...I don't know why I'm feeling like this

Yes, actually. That can happen if you don’t feed for too long. This is why donors are really, really important. You’re feeling that way because you’re very low on energy.

I saw in one of your posts that psychic vamps must have eye contact... I don't need eye contact. I never even knew that was a part of it?

I’ve never posted anything about eye contact to my recollection unless it was a reblog of something someone else said. Psychic Vampires don’t need eye contact, though some of them do use it.
