CULTURAL The Legends and spiritual teachings of some Culture s refer to people, often given priestly attributes, who manipulate or remove (feed from) the energy of others. The tiger-women spoken of across Asia (as well as the fox-women of Japan) may be noted, as can the Incubus and Succubus of Judaeo-Christian mythology. This concept is purported to be represented in the Myth s of a number of cultures, just as Blood-drinking Vampires are. In the oral tradition of the Hopi , a ''powaqa'' is a sorcerer who comes to a victim pretending to help and then feeds off the victim's life force (see '' Powaqqatsi ''). MODERN ORIGINS The term, and concept of, "energy vampire" is mostly modern in origin. While there are countless life-force feeding creatures across many cultures (linked more to the mythological vampire), accurate sources referring to the exact creatures described in New-Age books do not exist. The energy vampire, from a modern standpoint is alternately seen as a predator who attacks its victim or as a symbiotic partner who forms a mutually beneficial relationship with its donor. When the donor is unwilling, it becomes an attack which could be equated with energy-rape. This has given the illusion that the majority of self-proclaimed "energy vampires" are intentionally predating on the unwilling, when the opposite is generally considered to be true. NON-MYSTICAL INTERPRETATIONS In the philosophical practice of the wrote of psychic vampirism as early as 1930, considering it a combination of psychic and psychological pathology. SEE ALSO SOURCES
