I remember now – Vampires are Aquarian – like Count Duckula…It FITS! Eccentric diets, non-trad social values and an abiding loyalty combined with erratic libido. But they always look great & you can take them anywhere.

Paracelsus
Astrologer, occultist, alchemist, doctor, radical & magician – He’s totally fascinating. From his Wikipedia entry:
“….His wanderings as an itinerant physician and sometime journeyman miner [5] took him through Germany, France, Spain, Hungary, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Russia.Paracelsus did not think of himself as a magician and scorned those who did, though he was a practicing astrologer, as were most, if not all of the university-trained physicians working at this time in Europe. Astrology was a very important part of Paracelsus’ medicine. In his Archidoxes of Magic Paracelsus devoted several sections to astrological talismans for curing disease, providing talismans for various maladies as well as talismans for each sign of the Zodiac. He also invented an alphabet called the Alphabet of the Magi, for engraving angelic names upon talismans….”
Paracelsus pioneered the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. He used the name “zink” for the element zinc in about 1526, based on the sharp pointed appearance of its crystals after smelting and the old German word “zinke” for pointed…” He even makes it into Harry Potter.
A la Bookslut & Anne Rice in the Guardian Angels are the new Vampires.
This makes perfect sense to me as Angels seem v.v. Saturn in Libra – clean, fluffy, godly and all. Whereas Vampires could very easily vibe Virgoan and a bit neurotic. All that fussing about blood types, diet, purity, having to keep totally regular hours or else they will disintegrate or whatever. So bring on the Angels!!
And I would have gone ape over these Joey W Hill books when i was 14. Is that like a Lilith style of succubi writhing around with a studly looking clearly hovering on the verge of falling Angel???
