It is pretty likely that your answer to this question is no. Very few references to him have been made by the occult literature of the 20th century, but there is a name that you have absolutely heard of: Dracula.

Very little is actually known about Zalmoxis. He was the God of the Dacians, ancestors of the Romanian people, and is highly vampiric in nature. According to some, he could be the source of the famous Transylvanian bloodline, the main object of worship of the Green Order. The Greek scholar Herodotus wrote about him:

The word “Zalmoxis” is close to the Sanskrit “Moksha,” meaning eternal life. Several authors propose to see in Zalmoxis as a shamanic or totemic figure, a bear God or bearskin God - this indicates the strong lycanthropic nature of this deity.

In ancient times, the figure of Zalmoxis was very controversial. Some authors like Plato, Jordan, or Strabo claim that he is a Prince or a King, while others claim that he is a deified false prophet. According to Herodotus, the Greeks of the Bridge mentioned that Zalmoxis, before being a God, had been a man, a slave, and a disciple of Pythagore, and that he had subsequently become the ruler Thraces.

According to the lore of the Green Order, the first inhabitants of Romania, particularly of Transylvania, practiced the Cult of Undead. The Dacians affirmed being immortals. They said they had the power to change into a wolf or a bat and to travel through the air and interact with the Gods at the top of the mountains. Ritual places were also built on rocky peaks or inside caves as they were difficult to access. The high priest of the Dacians, who held the secrets of life and death, lived above the forests of Transylvania, on top of a mountain, on which he had built a temple. It is now supposed by historians that this mountain would be Mount Cugu, which rises three miles above sea level on the borders of Banat and Transylvania. It is there that the brave could be initiated into these dark mysteries, confronting their own death to gain immortality. Zalmoxis presided over their initiations but between him and humanity there exists a whole hierarchy of other beings, acting as intermediaries between man and divinity.

These beings were the vampires who had conquered death and had the power to return. The Dacians needed messengers and they chose the most advanced in the field of magic for this task. Those chosen were then sacrificed. The Dacians threw them onto the tips of their javelins but seven days later, the pierced bodies came out of their graves and came back among their brothers through visions and spontaneous apparitions. They had become immortal and served as links between the Dacians and Zalmoxis.

It is possible that the Pal, often evoked in the folklore of vampirism, is a simple evolution of this tradition. An interesting anecdote on this subject exists about Vlad III “The Impaler” also known as “Prince Dracula.” In 1962, while being held prisoner in Hungary in the Solomon Tower of the Visegrad palace, he had established excellent relations with his guardians. According to Kurystsin, a Russian diplomat present at the palace, Vlad had made a curious request to his jailers: he wanted to be supplied with rats, mice, small birds, and other small animals. Kurystsin reports that Vlad impaled these critters on sharp twigs that he had arranged in a circle in his cell. The chroniclers spoke of these atrocities and an extreme form of sadism.

Given what we know about the Cult of Zalmoxis, it is quite possible that Vlad was seeking to communicate with the Lord of Vampires and to practice rituals of communion with them. In my new book, Draugadróttin, Lord of the Undead, I will reveal the complete set of rituals to communicate with Zalmoxis and his messengers, the bloody immortals of the Dacians tradition. Join me in this adventure to unveil the mysteries of Undeath.

I will see you again in Draugadróttinn: Lord of the Undead as we unlock the fiercely guarded secrets of Magick Vampirism together from ancient and medieval Europe. As you will recall, the true highest ambition of vampirism is not necessarily to prey on other humans per se — although some do — but to unite with the elder Ascended Vampires, and tap into unlimited cosmic power, to experience magick immortality and conquer death forever.

Immortally,
