The Realities of Blood drinking...
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is the life thereof...Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood therof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
- From Leviticus 17:14
While the OSV and the Synod recognize the individual value of one's personal interpretation of Vampyrism/vampirism, We do not condone the public or private consumption of blood. Even responsible adult couples can transfer blood-borne diseases through the exchange of blood. We make every effort to educate Ourselves and others regarding alternative forms of safe, efficient, and effective practices that do not involve the consumption of blood, such as the techniques of Tantra, Reiki, and Energy transference.
The actions of blood fetishists do not represent the attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors of the vast majority of the vampire/Vampyre community or the Strigoi Vii.
Blood consumption is an illegal practice in many countries and generally regarded as taboo in modern cultures. Ideally, blood should only be drawn by licensed health care professionals. Those who use medical or surgical implements without proper training in the act of blood-letting potentially place themselves or their "donor" in danger of nerve damage, scarring, or other serious injury. Health risks associated with blood consumption include the possible contraction and transmis-sion of blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, HIV/AIDS, and other ailments not listed here.
Body modifications, suspension, tattooing, piercing, scarification and other similar forms of ritualistic or sadomasochistic practices do not usually involve the consumption of human blood, and thus are not cen-sored by the Strigoi Vii. However, We urge all individuals who participate in such acts to adhere to strict guidelines of standard medical practices and other safety procedures in order to protect all involved par-ties.
There are many other prominent Vampyre/vampire organizations and groups that are in agreement with this perspective. For example, House Kheperu, Order of the Black Dragon (Michael Fford), Order of the Vampyre (OV), Temple Of The Vampire (ToV), and Sah-jaza do not endorse or practice blood consumption as a part of their interpretation of real or living Vampyrism/vampirism, according to their websites and printed publications.[/g]
