Vampire Pumpkins, yes, you heard me right. It is one of the many forms of vampires within vampire folklore. Before I go too far into explaining where this folklore originated, I wanted to point out how, as you study far back past the modern vampire community and into finding where vampires truly originated from and how it has leaked into vampire media and into the VC. You honestly will start going insane as the definition of vampire is not only debatably blurry in the vampyre community but is even blurry throughout history. Oddly enough, characteristics of vampires have been applied to just about anything. Now we have vampires, werewolves, witches, and the fae all tangled.

But...vampire pumpkin? This folklore-originated legend became popular out of the three counterparts, such as the vampire watermelon and vampire squash. This folklore originated as a legend risen from the Balkans in southern Europe. This folklore source comes from Tatomir P. Vukanovic. Through his interview in Serbia and Roma between 1933 and 1948, he released his study much later. Vampiric plants origins occurred among Gypsies, whobelieved only pumpkins and watermelons can be turned into vampires. This is where I believe vampire pumpkin became the much more popular counterpart. But to find where vampire pumpkins truly started as a folk legend is unknown. To my knowledge, the folklore could not have started before the 16th century, as pumpkins are native to the Americas and did not make it to Europe until the late 1600s.

The transformation: Vampire pumpkins transform if you leave them out and under a full moon and don’t harvest them within 10 days, or you keep them around past Christmas.

After the transformation was complete, it was said they had blood on them and that they could growl. Tatomir claims that they aren’t harmful but will suck your aura at night as the pumpkins wander in the night.

A “generational curse” is most often referring to negative patterns, traits, or circumstances that can be passed down through generations within a family. These patterns can manifest as repeating behaviors, health issues, dysfunctional relationships, or other challenges that affect individuals, even those who are not directly involved in the original actions or circumstances that initiated the pattern. Social circles, scenes, spiritual organizations, and alternative communities have a penchant for picking up bad habits that plague these social structures in a never ending loop of arguments and breakdowns between their younger and elder members, aka generational curses.

How do we recognize these problems?

There are many cyclical issues that plague the VC and have for generations over. Let’s talk about them and try to understand them!

How do we move forward from the issues of our past?

How do you heal those wounds or correct those problems to be able to move forward rather than engaging in the never ending cycles it’s always been?

Let’s talk about it!
