- A court in the Ukrainian city of Odessa
is to hear a case against a woman who drank the blood of teenage boys while
conducting "magic" rituals.
-
- Diana, now 30, turned to esotericism
while still at school, the Moskovsky Komsomolets daily reported Friday.
She studied volumes on religion and occultism, a variety of religious cults.
Once, after reading a book called "Highest Ceremonious Magic, Theory
and Practice", Diana sent an e-mail full of admiration to the author.
-
- The author, who called himself Amonar,
turned out to live just a few streets away from the girl, and agreed to
give Diana a personal training course in black magic.
-
- After Diana's shocked parents discovered
she'd painted the walls and the ceiling in her room black, she moved to
a rented flat in a far-off district of the city. She painted everything
black, and furnished her home with an altar and chandeliers, incense, a
pentacle and a massive silver cup to drink blood from.
-
- The girl first became an assistant to
her teacher, who performed magical ceremonies for the general public, and
then opened her own practice.
-
- Drinking blood was a common element of
the magic rituals, but with time Diana developed quite a taste for blood
and drank it three times a week, at midnight.
-
- The victims were boys aged from 12 to
18, chosen for their alleged energetic levels. The vampire roamed the streets
searching for homeless children, invited them to her flat and then after
feeding them, giving them vodka and putting them to bed cut their hands
and drank blood, mixing it with sweet wine.
-
- Diana was charged with conducting satanic
rituals after the police, called by the neighbors, found four drunk teenage
boys in her flat with cuts to their hands. However, it remains unclear
whether the victims, some of whom were also her lovers, would testify against
her.
-
- "I will never give up black magic,"
Diana was quoted by Komsomolets as saying.
-
- "It is my vocation, my belief and
my way of life."
-
- According to the defendant's will, the
hearing is going to be open to the public.
