Vampire Cure???

According to eastern European folklore a vampire’s blood is magically potent and very dangerous.

When vampires were exhumed to be staked or cut up, the living had to be extra careful not to get sprayed.

It was believed that the living would go insane or die instantly.

Vampire corpses were covered, before staking to protect the living. On lookers stood at a distance.

Vampire blood would be used as a charm or amulet, and as a curse.
A common belief was a vampire’s blood could heal. Vampire victims would cover themselves with a vampire’s blood or drink it. To be released from the curse.

Yes! Drink Vampire’s Blood.

According to accounts this remedy didn’t work. Those who tried this remedy only became vampires themselves.

Another way to cure vampirism is with ashes.

Porcelnik

We’ve gone over many witches that either act like vampires or turn into a vampire after death.
The Porcelnik is one of those vampires.
In life, the Porcelnik lives in Russia. He’s a human sorcerer that displays vampire activities.

The town’s people call him Porcelnik or “The Harmer”.
Once the sorcerer dies, the townsfolk burn his body on a pyre of Aspen wood to keep him from rising and becoming an Eretik vampire revenant.

Algul

The Algul is an Arabian vampire it’s name means “blood sucking, jinni, or horse leech” but there’s no evidence of the Algul drinking from horses.
This vampire looks human, sometimes it will leave the cemetery it lives in and gets married and has children. If found conflicting accounts, some say Algul is male some say it can only be female. Some don’t specify. If it is only female there are a lot of similarities to Lillith.

This picture can’t pass for human, but it’s kind of cool.

Infants are the Algul’s delicacy (I can’t find any proof of it feeding from its own children). It can sustain on a few grains of rice every day.

The Algul is extremely hard to kill it can’t die from disease, old age or any sort of sword or blade. It’s also a talented fighter.
Magic is used to weaken it so it can be captured and burned to ashes.

Ashes

Vampire ashes cure vampirism!

A story from 19th century Romania tells of an old woman who died, a few months later her oldest son’s children began to die one by one. Then the youngest son’s children.

They exhumed her body because they suspected she’d turned into a vampire. They cut her body into two pieces and reburied her. The children’s death’s continued. The dug up the body a second time.

This time they found it in one piece and without any wounds. They were astonished, they took her body deep into the nearby forest. Under a tree they disemboweled the corpse and removed the heart.

Fresh blood flowed from her heart as they cut it into four pieces. The pieces of heart were burned, the ashes saved, the rest of the body and entrails were burned to ash then buried..

The sons mixed the ashes they saved with water and made the remaining children drink it. There weren’t any more attacks.

There are other cases from the Cusmir area of Romania. Two well-known stories envolve a family member dies, then his relations become sick. When the villages exhume the corpse, it’s usually full of flesh blood. His heart and liver are removed and burned. The ashes are mixed with water. The ill family members drink this potion and miraculously become better.

Some places believe the smoke of a burning vampire heart will protect from evil. Villagers walked through it to become protected.

n 18th and 19th century New England several bodies were exhumed and the organs burned. (Remember Consumption and Mercy Brown) The ash potion was given to people suffering from consumption.
