| In 1908, a team of Italian
archeologists uncovered a relic in the Minoan palace of Phaistos in Crete. This
relic was a disc inscribed in an unknown language using stamps, signifying an example of
movable type being used around 1600 b.c.e. This relic is referred to as the Phaistos
Disc. A similar object was uncovered five years later in an excavation around the
city currently called Ismir in Turkey. Archeologists
were excited about the second find, but soon became disheartened as the symbols were not
the same. While the Phaistos Disc remains a mystery and possibly a historical
anomaly, the second Disc, commonly referred to as the Belzeit Tablet, has been partially
decoded in the late 20th century. What it has revealed is both startling and
exciting.
For lack of a poetic description, the Belzeit Tablet was
created by a unique Mystery Cult operating in the shadow of the ancient Greek city-states
with clear connection to Egypt and the Hebrew tribes on the other side of the
Mediterranean Sea. This cult practiced a ritualistic worship of beings best
described as vampires.
Whether these vampiric beings truely existed or were
simply a variant on the Bacchus rites that were performed is still left for debate among
the scholars. On the disc, there were over eighteen glyphs represented, but only six
have been fully translated and understood. Presented, for the first time on the
internet, are the six glyphs and their interpreted meanings.
Balance |
|
| With balance comes harmony. Keeping things in
balance is difficult. For the vampire, there are more personal issues that need to
be kept in balance: predator-prey, passion-reason, lust-restraint, and
violence-peace. Each needs to be exercised equally or harmony is lost. All of
one thing, no matter how well intentioned or how well presented, will throw the balance
off, disrupting the harmony, and destroying order. |

Beast |
|
| Instinct plays a vital role. When a vampire
looks at another she can see the raw primal force that lurks. Every calm is
followed by a storm. The longer the calm the more violent the storm. Vampire respect
the beast, as it is the instinct that drives passion and curiousity. the beast
pushes boundaries, tests limits, and throws all caution to the wind. The beast is
neither stupid nor intelligent. The beast is pure instinct. |

Blood |
|
| Blood represents two important things to the vampire.
It represents their existence. It is their source of strength and power.
But it also represents their greatest weakness. The lust for blood has
clouded the judgment of many. Are vampire powerful because of their reliance on
blood, or are they powerful because of the control they have over their addiction.
No matter which, the addiction is a downward spiral that inevitably ends in personal
destruction for the weak. |
 |
City |
|
| Cities represent the development of civilization and
the inevitable collapse of civilization. Vampire have witnessed this cycle over and
over. When a vampire sees something being built, she can remember what used to be at
that location before and knows that eventually the current structure will collapse over
time, or be demolished. No empire lasts forever. |
 |
Reaper |
|
| Harvest is a time of death and a time of cleansing.
The concept of death to the immortal loses meaning over time. It becomes less
a time to fear but a time to be cleansed. A vampire knows that once a generation she
needs to cleanse herself and begin anew in order to perpetrate her unnatural existence
among mortals. Ending are beginnings. |
 |
Sun |
|
| Contrary to popular belief, vampires do not curse the
Sun any more than a man who cannot swim curses the ocean. The Sun to the vampire
represents the inevitable. There are many things once cannot have any control over,
even if one is immortal. The Sun represents all that cannot be controlled. It
is a fact that must be endured and worked around. |
