Anything having to do with Vampires & Werewolves, Boon or Bane

Vampire Bat Acrylic Paperweight

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction—they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood.
These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease.
Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting.
Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.
The common vampire bat is found in the tropics of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Available in small(left) and large(right) sizes.

The Carpathian Beechwood Vampire Stake

After conducting an extensive search we have found a supplier of Beechwood harvested from the famous Carpathian Mountains of Romania. Beechwood is known for its resistance to shock and the dense nature of the wood lends itself to long burning time. Although it is said that any type of wood can be used to drive into the heart of a Vampire, we suggest this ancient wood harvested directly from the homeland of Vlad Tepes who impaled his opposition on stakes of Beechwood. Only available here at Apotropaics!

Hand crafted and sanded in natural finish, 8"-9" long with a rawhide wrapped grip and a ground fuller to further deplete the foe.

Vampires Tarot of the Eternal Night

The realms of Vampires and of Tarot do indeed include many strange ways. And by combining the two, a very unique world results.
There are shadows and mists, darkness and light, confusion and recognition. Wandering through such realms is a journey in itself, peppered with insights, revelations, answers, and even more questions.
This experience is not one of seeing everything clearly in the strong light of day, but of sensing deeper truths that often defy logic and become invisible under the scrutiny of reason.
Featuring artwork by Davide Corsi and designed by Barbara Moore, this kit contains a 160 page, full color companion book about vampires, Tarot and more, as well as the 77 fully illustrated cards of the Arcana.
