Simone Muench's Word of the Day
apotropaic, adj.
Intended to ward off evil.
Particular objects called apotropaic turn away demons and evil monsters, including vampires. They can be ranged into four general categories:
'Appeasing' apotropaics, which stop the vampire and remove its urge to kill and spread disease.
'Countering' apotropaics anhilate such harmful ability of the vampire by using a natural anti-substance with a more powerful counter-ability.
'Constricting' apotropaics paralyze the vampire making him therefore unable to leave his grave and spread death and destruction.
'Destructive' apotropaics keep vampires in chess by killing them.
