Vampyre Magick

In the Vampyric Community, there are many vampyres who practice a mystical or magio-religious form of spirituality based on their vampyric status in life. Various forms of Vampyre Magick include but are not limited to Sangomancy, VampyreCrafte, and the techniques of the Kheprian System.

VampyrCraeft

VampyrCraeft is exactly what the name implies. It can best be explained as psychic or sanguine vampyres who are Wiccans/Witches or Neo-Pagan Practitioners of Magick. Vampyres rely on their natural abilities of energy manipulations and clairvoyance to aid in their magickal workings. It is important to understand that Vampyric Wiccans and Neo-Pagans do practice with moral and ethical responsibilities. Vampyric practitioners uphold the Wiccan/Pagan Rede of "An' it harm none, do what ye wilt", just as any Witch would. Therefore, it is obvious that as many vampyres as witches can equally abuse the craft - as intent is the most important aspect of all forms of magick. Unlike non-vampiric practitioners, Vampyres tend to be able to access their natural abilities and instantly shield or banish any unwanted energies. Therefore, purification of the sacred space for rituals is not a lengthy process or focus - Vampyres tend to simply ignore or dismiss any metaphysical properties by their own will. There is less spellwork involved in VampyrCraeft. Instead, Vampyres can visualize their goals, gather energy from outside sources, and focus and project their own energies faster than it took me to compose this sentance. The Sanguinarium defines Vampyrcraeft or Vampyrecrafte as: "In general, this is the magick practiced by vampyres. Many vampyres are pagan and follow the old ways, and the ways of magick are an integral part of their beliefs. Most vampyres practice numerous techniques associated with energy manipulation. Vampyrcraeft refers to magickal techniques specifically designed by vampires to take advantage of their unique abilities. Vampyrcraeft often has a dark flavor to it, although in general it is more of a balance between dark and light techniques." Epiphany is a semi-feminist tradition of VampyrCraeft dedicated to the balance of dark and light. Epiphany practitioners tend to use the Maiden Goddess Persephone, the Mother Goddess Demeter, and the Crone Goddess Hecate. Each coven, house or circle tends to find comfort in different Vampyric Male Gods or DemiGods such as Set, Draco, Draconis, Cain, or more personal vampyric spirit guides. Just as the Elysian Mysteries are dedicated to the balance of dark and light of the year, many Vampyre Practitioners of the Craft feel the need to balance the dark and light aspects within themselves. The Vernal and Autumn Equinoxes greatly affect many vampyre's psychic and physical health, which are the days of equal light and dark in nature. Likewise, there is a certain amount of focus that many vampyres need to devote to balance the light and dark aspects of their abilities, personalities, and general health.
