Fiction

By: Shyan Chapman 10-22-2003

Vampires can trace their roots to Pagan Mythology, before the Religion of Christianity took hold of Europe as the main system of belief. I believe, then, that it is safe to say that 'Crosses' as a defense against the Vampire were not always part of Vampiric Lore - indeed, the Cross as a defense against the Vampire is merely symbolism of the European Mind throwing off its' Pagan roots and placing their trust in the Christian Church. So, crosses, as a defense against Vampires joins the list of Fiction within Vampiric Lore, as it does not find roots in the beginning of Vampiric Mythology.
