¡Hola mis amores! It's Your Favorite Fortune Teller, Fernie, the author of The Joy of Tarot and the supermodel for sequined caftans and feathered fans of the world! One of the major reasons I wrote The Joy of Tarot was because I wanted to infuse a little more glitter and a whole lot more magic into our lives; tarot is one of the most beautiful ways that I do this in my own life, and I wanted to share that with all of you gorgeous folx.

Vampirism can exist beside an established religion or within it. Vampires do not necessarily share beliefs in the same deities, spirits, or afterlife. What we share is a way of understanding ourselves, subtle reality, and the exchange of vital energy between living things. Vampires believe vampirism is a state of being before it is a practice.
