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.
