LadyBloodMoon's Profile at Vampire Rave.

Ave, welcome to my profile. I have been on this site since 2007. I've grown a lot since I first created this profile. I have under gone so many changes. My life often resembles a roller coaster.
I have become more private over the years. When I first joined this site, I didn't fully understand the dangers of online communication.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Yes, technology can be very helpful. In the same regard social media gives people the tools to stalk you . I still like talking with others. I just
have become more cautious. After all anyone can create a whole different identity behind a screen. You never truly know with whom you are speaking.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Over the time I have been on this site, I have made friends, whom became more like family. Some I have gotten to spend time with offline. Having meet ups
offline. I have cherished those.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

I am a mom of three. A grandmother , and a wife. I spend most of my time with my family. I do still like to spend time here. I enjoy coding, making pages, as well as rating and posting.
I am open to conversations as long as my boundaries are respected. I have several profiles here for both self expression, and helping out in societies.
If you would like some help in either your house or coven, let me know. I will send a profile over to help out.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Over the years I have tried to find my place. After many years of seeking faith. I have found I don't really fit in a box or label of any religion. I am more of a spiritual soul. If I had to try to relate I would have to say Celtic Paganism for the most part, with the higher spirit of the Native American.
I am at a point in my life where my peace is very important. I will protect my peace and way of life.

I am for now leaving the rest of this profile, as it has been important to me in the past. It has been on this profile for over a decade.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

It's taken myself many years to achieve a equal balance between dayside and nightshade.
I strive to pay back the kindness that was shown to me, by helping others.

I continue to learn each day. When you stop learning, you die. Most fear what they don't understand. Knowledge is Power, and the key to embrace, and understand One's Self. I will discuss vampyre education, if your respectful. I also don't tolerate disrespect. The reason I'm still here, is to help those awakening, that find their way on this site. As well as for friends. I write poetry, and short stories.

Proud Coven Mistress and Founder Of:

I founded this coven in 2008. Its one of the oldest covens on this site. If your interested in joining , send me a message.

Proud Founder of This Alliance:

I created this alliance for my kindred family. Its a place for like minded souls to stand together. If your apart of this alliance, your family to me. If you are interested in bringing your coven into the alliance, send me a message. This alliance is one of the oldest. It was founded when the alliances were first created.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

I am here to teach, learn, and to guide. I have several mentorships open. The oldest is The Kindred Path. If your in need of a mentor, send me a message.

1. We do not live forever but we do come back in the next life knowing who and what we are.
2. We do not turn into bats or mist.
3. Holy water or crosses do not harm us.
4. We do not sleep in coffins; well some of us do but that is a matter of choice.
5. Sunlight does hurt some of us but it also causes harm to the mundane if exposed to it for too long.
6. For some of us, light is harmful to our eyes.
7. Yes we feed. We feed from blood, psi energy (Parana), Sexual energy or emotional energy. There are some of us that say they do not feed from blood but all in all most of us do. Blood is one of the purest forms of energy. Is it not said the Blood is the Life?
8. We have laws and codes of conduct that we live by. Those that break the laws are shunned by the community.

Because of what books and Hollywood makes us out to be we are evil in the eyes of the mundane.
If people took the time to understand who and what we are, maybe there would be less hate but wishing for that is like fighting for peace. For those of you who are thinking that this is what is best for you or think that it is cool to be a Vampyre because of what you think a Vampyre is, I would say read, study and learn to pull the facts out of the bullshit that Hollywood and books have made us out to be. Seek and ye shall find! This life is not a life for all and should be looked into long and hard. Some of us can choose, but there are those of us that had no choice in being Vampyric.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

The Vampyric life is not an easy life; in fact it is a hard and lonely life.
No matter how hard you try, you will always walk it alone.
This is because no one will ever understand or try to understand who or what we are.
Even other Vampires can never understand what you, personally, are going through.
The mundane will pass their judgment on you or what they think you are; making their minds up because they do not understand us or what we are and because of what Hollywood and the few nut jobs out there have done.
They think that we are all evil and out to hurt people. They never open their eyes to see what is in our hearts.
They will push us away, put us down, and try to hurt us any way they can.
Even if you walk with other Vampyres, you still walk alone.
No one but you will feel and go through what you do.
The mundane think that being Vampyric is a choice for all of us and for some yes it is.
As for me this is who and what I am. Many times I tried to walk away, but I find I am what I am no matter what my faith may be.
I even started to hate what I am and hate myself, because of how others made me feel about what I am.
Telling me that what I am is evil. I know in my heart that I am not.

What Is A Real Vampyre?

A real Vampyre is an energy feeder with varying levels of psychic and empathic abilities which allow for manipulation of and the taking and giving of the life force energy.
A Vampyre comes into being showing varying signs of energy deficiency with usually a slow awareness of psychic ability. There is a significant interest in energy feeding such as at musical shows, with a lover, and/or an interest in the energy of blood, although the latter is far less common.
This self-awareness usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood and generally increases over time gradually to adulthood, but there are some signs in some at younger ages.
A Vampyre begins to see the energy fields and auras of people and easily learns to manipulate emotional and other psychic energies for necessary gain. Through a heightened sensual ability they feel the emotions and energy of other people and can thus tap this resource for gain in energy needs.
Being more sensitive to all types of energy allows the Vampyre to easily sense emotions and thoughts of those near. Those who are empathic carry this further with ease.
Vampyres normally have no difficulty with the sunlight of day, except for the need of sunglasses to shield sensitive eyes and the need to protect from sunburn on exposed skin. This is generally true as Vampyres are usually more sensitive to all forms of energy. With the ability to sense energy comes the need to shield oneself from excess energy. This is a reality most deal with and learn to do easily when around excess energy sources such as the sun and that of other people.
We have a natural tendency to reach out to others like us and learn about the diversity of others. There are many groups, clans, households and families that exist to lend support and share of the knowledge and experience of this life.
We also desire as a group to correct the misconceptions that society and the media have about us. We are not the blood-sucking killers that the film industry would have us all believe. We want to dispel these myths and communicate the truth about our Vampyrism.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

For too long have we had to hide ourselves from those psychotic nuts who would seek us harm because of too many Vampyre films made with Vampyre hunters and "stakes". We will live among all humans and coexist in the society around us, while teaching those with open minds about the truth of Vampyrism and taking the risk of ridicule and harm.
History has taught us and others about the mass murder and violence that has been made against so many by the human kind. Normal humans have proven themselves to be the best at killing and torturing their fellow kind. No other living thing does it like the human species. So we walk in a world being blown up around us seeing this energy unlike any other. The film industry and media portray us as monsters and yet who really are the monsters of the world? The mass murderers that are all around us answer this.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

We have a high regard of life, although we feed off of the energy of others, we do not harm others or cause pain and suffering. Those that do cannot call themselves true Vampyres. As those with empathic abilities, we feel the emotions of others including pain and suffering..

We have gone through this world hated and feared, and misunderstood. We desire to change this and dispel these attitudes while being able to be ourselves and not persecuted. While we are quite different in our abilities and needs, we also believe that our souls are true and carry forth what we are.
Where so many believe that one can just be "embraced" or "turned" or "made" into a Vampyre, we know that we have inherent needs and abilities that come from within, that is who we are, not what we chose to be. We all learn many things from our environments, but we as Vampyres know that what we have is within ourselves and in our souls. It is carried on through the generations.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

We as Vampyres know that the normal human has left very little untouched on this world. There are no places for us to be left alone, so we will be in that community in that city and in that state. We are becoming more organized and united for this moment is our time to become known and dispel the misconceptions about us.
We have become more open in such forums as computer websites and in our neighborhoods. This is our risk, but we will see it through for we want others to know about the true Vampyre..

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

I have been awakened since 2006.. Most awaken at a very young age. Some later in life due to a tragedy of some kind.
For me is was the death of my father that triggered mine. I always knew I was different, just didn't know at the time the being that I am, and how I would embrace and grow.

I fed off of energy from others in a psi feeding, although I at times cut myself and tasted blood.. not knowing
that I was feeding a hunger. My name given to me is Lady Akasha Adiana. You may call me Nikki.

I am a Adra / odd-ra / Sire A term for a sponsor or mentor who teaches ordeals. The Adra is responsible for teaching their Nadja (Apprentice) the traditions of the Strigoi Vii. This relationship can be defined as those involved see fit, ranging from a dom/sub, brother/sister, sire/childe, etc., or a multitude of other options.

I walk all three roads , the kitra was the first road for me...Kitra / kee’tra / : A term for a councilor in the roads and caste system. Serving a variety of functions in the community, they are lovers and donors, counselors and confidants. In ritual, they often serve as altars, acting as the fulcrum of power between Mradu and Ramkht. Most Kitra are submissive, offering themselves in spirit and flesh to their Mradu or Ramkht. Kitra are also skilled donors, and keep their energy in top form to nourish members of their Household/Order, often being the Keepers of the Golden Circle. They are often very sensual, highly sexually charged, and trained in the arts of lovemaking and entertainment for the pleasure of the Order or family. This road is modeled from the example temple concubines, young men and women pledged to their temples, who offered themselves through service and flesh; these concubines were highly valued and cherished by the priests and warriors they served.

Companions, Counselors and Concubines are the gentlest and often the most understanding. As a rule, they are devoted to the welfare of others. They are a lover who understands your needs, a friend who does not mind you crying on their shoulder and someone you can rant to when you are fed up with life. Counselors are sacred and cherished and anyone is very lucky who has one for a coven member or friend.

What I follow and live by:

The Black Veil
(A code of ethics for the Vampyric Groups and Individuals)

1. Discretion
This lifeforbidden is private and sacred. Respect it as such. Use discretion in who you reveal yourself to, and make certain that your motives are to truly communicate about our culture and to engender understanding. By no means should you talk to others about yourself and our community when your motives are for selfish reasons such as self-promotion, sensationalism, and attention getting. Do not hide from your nature, but never show it off to those who will not understand.
2. Diversity
Our paths are many, even though the journey we are on is essentially the same. No single one of us has all the answers to who and what we are. Respect everyone’s personal views and practices. We cannot let petty differences of ideology prevent us from maintaining a unified community; there are enough who would attack us from the outside. Our diversity is our strength. Let our differences in viewpoint enrich us, but never divide us upon ourselves.
3. Safety
Use sense when indulging in your nature. Do not flaunt what you are in public places. Feed in private and make certain your donors will be discrete about what happens between you. Donors who create rumors and gossip about us are more harm than they are worth. If you engage in blood-letting, put safety and caution above all other things. Blood-borne diseases are a very real thing, and we cannot risk endangering ourselves or others through irresponsibility. Screen donors carefully, making certain they are in good health both mentally and physically. Never overindulge or get careless. The safety of the entire community rests upon each member’s caution.
4. Control
We cannot and should not deny the darkness within. Yet we should not allow it to control us. If our beast or shadow or dark side is given too much sway, it clouds our judgment, making us a danger even to those we love. Never indulge in pointless violence. Never bring willful harm to those who sustain you. Never feed only for the sake of feeding, and never give over to mindless blood lust. We are not monsters. We are capable of rational thought and self-control. Celebrate the darkness and let it empower you, but never let it enslave your will.

5. Lifeforbidden
Live your life as an example to others in the community. We are privileged to be what we are, but power should be accompanied by responsibility and dignity. Explore and make use of your Vampyre nature, but keep it in balance with material demands. Remember, we may be Vampyres, but we are still a part of this world. We must live our lives like everyone else here, holding jobs, keeping homes, and getting along with our neighbors. Being what we are is not an excuse to not participate in this reality. Rather, it is an obligation to make it a better place for us to be.
6. Family
We are, all of us, a family, and like all families, various members will not always get along. However, respect the greater community when having your disputes. Do not let your individual problems bring emotional strife to the family as a whole. Settle your differences quietly among one another, only seeking out an elder’s aid in mediation when no other solution seems possible. Never bring your private disputes into public places and never draw other family members into the issue by forcing them to take sides. Like any normal family, we should always make an effort to present a stable and unified face to the rest of the world even when things are not perfect between us.
7. Havens
Our havens are safe places where everyone in the community can come socialize. There are also often public places where we are likely to encounter people who do not understand our ways. We should respect the patrons of these places as we should also respect the owners of the establishments and always be discrete in our behavior. We should never bring private disputes to a haven. We should never initiate violence in a haven. And we should never do or bring anything illegal into a haven, as this reflects badly upon the community as a whole. The haven is the hub of the whole community, and we should respect it as such, supporting it without business and working to improve its name in the scene so that we can always call it home.
8. Territory
The community is extensive and diverse. Every city has a different way of doing things, and a different hierarchy of rule. When entering a new city, you should familiarize yourself with the local community. Seek out the local havens, learn who is who, and show proper respect where it is due. You should not expect to impose your old way of doing things on this new scene. Rather you should adapt to their rules and be glad of their acceptance. Always be on your best behavior when coming to a new city either to visit or to stay. We are all cautious and territorial by nature, and only by making the most positive impression possible will you be accepted and respected in a new community.

9. Responsibility
This lifeforbidden is not for everyone. Take care in who you choose to bring into it. Those who are mentally or emotionally unstable have no place among us. They are dangerous and unreliable and may betray us in the future. Make certain that those you choose to bring in are mature enough for this burden. Teach them to control and discretion, and make certain that they respect our ways. You will be responsible for their actions, and their behaviors in the community will be reflected back to you.
10. Elders
There are certain members of our community who have established themselves as just and responsible leaders. These are the people who helped establish local communities, who organize havens, and who work to coordinate the networking of the scene. While their word does not have to be law, they should nevertheless be respected. They have greater experience than many others, and usually greater wisdom. Seek these elders out to settle your disputes, to give you guidance and instruction, and to help you establish yourself in the local scene. Appreciate the elders for all they have given you. If it was not for their dedication, the community would not exist as it does now.
11. Donors
Without those who offer themselves body and soul to us, we would be nothing. We cannot be other that what we are, but it is the donors who sustain our nature. For this service, they should be respected. Never mistreat your donors, physically or emotionally. They are not to be manipulated or leeched off of for more than what they freely offer. Never take them for granted. Appreciate them for the companionship and acceptance which they offer us, which so many others would refuse. This above all: appreciate the gift of their life. That communion is sacred. Never fail to treat them as such.
12. Leadership
When you choose to take a position of authority in the community, remember that you do not lead for yourself alone. Leadership is a responsibility, not a privilege. A good leader must set an example for everyone through his/her actions and behavior. His motives should be selfless and pure, and he should put the interests of the whole community before his own. The best leaders are those who serve to better the community and whose person and behavior gives no one- even those outside of the community - a reason to criticize them.
13. Ideals
Being a Vampyre is not just about feeding upon life. That is what we do, but not necessarily what we are. It is our place to represent Darkness in a world blinded by light. We are about being different and accepting that difference as something that empowers us and makes us unique. We are about accepting the Darkness within ourselves and embracing that Darkness to make us whole beings. We are about celebrating the thresholds: Body and Spirit, Pleasure, Pain, Life and Death. Our lives should be lived as a message to the world about the beauty of accepting the whole self, of living without guilt and without shame, and celebrating the unique and beautiful essence of every single soul.

I am ordained thru Universal Life Church .

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Vampyrism is not a simple path to adhere to for everyone.
Vampyres are born dark and experience childhood differently than non vampyres.
They are in touch with their dark side but too often are confused until a deeper understanding of who they are comes into focus.
There are many aspects of Vampyres.
There are those who relate to the ideals and values of a never ending life, immortality, power, the ability to transform and control elements, combining vague facts or fantasy into their lives, creating a mythical Vampyre.
These vampire humans are in search of themselves and need to be encouraged to delve deeper to find the true meanings that await them.
True Vampyres.

Vampyres do not view themselves as humans, because we are not human in all terms, true Vampyres see humans as the weak strain, full of emotions that drain away at them, wandering around like sheep in a field waiting to be herded into a flock.

Vampyres see humans as prey and life force.
We are the darkness of nature, strong and beautiful.
Emotional Balance
Vampyres look upon themselves as "GODS"; there is nothing above us, only beneath.

We kneel before our make shift altars in obtaining growth and enlightenment of true darkness.
We invoke and conjure powers in various forms for development and attainment of advancement.

We dedicate our selves to ourselves.
During advanced training, human emotions are a hindrance to the true Vampyre; they create confusion and too often get in the way of reaching the desired goal. Total focus and strength is needed during ritual work. Moral values that are instilled in us since early childhood should be cast away; Vampyres are not guided by these moral issues, as they are considered part of the weakness of humans, and have no impact on a Vampyre.

This advanced training is highly regarded as the initial step into being an Adept Vampyre, the combinations of ritual work, developing psychic strength, pushing one self to the very limits, as well as testing these developments in and outwardly is only part of the rigid training that slowly builds the character needed for the Vampyre Adept.

What are the symptoms of vampirism?

I personally, and some others, dislike the term symptoms when referring to vampirism as it makes vampirism sound like some kind of disease or illness, which it is not. Some also refer to vampirism as a condition or energy deficiency, but I personally, and some others, frown upon those terms as well, because it gives vampirism a negative connotation.

No one knows nor has been able to determine what causes vampirism. The leading theory is that vampirism may be a combination of genetic, physiological and metaphysical causes. One will often see vampirism referred to as a condition, and then compared to some other physiological conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

I personally prefer to refer to symptoms of vampirism as vampiric traits, characteristics and abilities. However, possessing any or all of these traits, characteristics and abilities does not make one a vampire as many of these same traits, characteristics and abilities can be accounted for by other reasons. All other explanations (i.e., medical, psychological, environmental, etc.) should be explored before assuming that one has those traits due to vampirism.

The key factor in determining if one is a vampire is going to be if one has a genuine need for life-force energies from outside sources and their traits, characteristics and abilities are tied to their vampirism. Also, not all vampires will have all traits, characteristics and abilities. Each individual vampire is different and may have different traits, characteristics and abilities from each other. Just as every individual is different, every vampire is different. Some will have more abilities than others. Some will have more limitations than others.

Physical characteristics:

Pale skin
Sensitivity to sunlight physically (i.e., sunburn easily) and/or visually
Visual sensitivity to any light source
Better night vision than day vision
Eye color changing with mood or for no apparent reason
Heightened senses
Unaccounted-for strength (i.e., stronger than one should be without working out) and quick reflexes
Often feels hungry and/or thirsty despite an adequate food diet
Extreme cravings for certain types of food or extreme cravings that can not be satisfied with food
Often feel run down, fatigued, tired despite an adequate food diet and activity level
Frequent headaches for no apparent reason
Does not require very much sleep
Able to heal quicker than others
Often get sick with "flu-like" symptoms with no medical explanation when they go without feeding for a period of time

Mental characteristics:

Strong-willed; independent nature; confident
Intellectual/highly intelligent
Well-learned/educated, although not necessarily school-educated
Predatory nature
Dark nature
Prefers nighttime over daytime; i.e., nocturnal nature
Moodiness/mood swings/quick-tempered
Mental and/or personality disorders (diagnosed by a medical doctor)
Psychic abilities (although not necessarily psychic feeding methods) and metaphysical characteristics:

Empathy
Telepathy
Mind reading
See and read auras
Extra-sensory perception (ESP)
Clairaudience, being able to mentally hear things from a distance
Clairvoyance, being able to mentally see things from a distance
Clairsentience, having knowledge that one can not explain
Audiovoyance, being able to see and/or hear spirits and possibly communicate with them
Telekinesis
Pyrokinesis
Astral travel/astral projection
Psychometry
Invisibility, although not as in the Invisible Man kind of invisibility; the kind of invisibility where one can blend into a setting, room and/or crowd, and not be noticed by anyone looking for them.
Precognition/visions
Past-life memories, especially vampiric past-life memories
Immortal soul and a belief in reincarnation
Experience déjà vu quite frequently
Able to sense other vampires (often referred to as "vamp radar")
Involved in "alternative" religions (such as pagan, Wiccan, satanic, etc.) or have "alternative" spiritual beliefs
Most are either born vampires or experience an awakening to their vampiric nature later in life, usually in their teen years but it can happen later in life
The above lists are not all-inclusive lists, as I may have missed some characteristics and abilities, but those are the ones that I could think of at this time. These lists of vampire characteristics and traits should not be used as a checklist to determine if one is a vampire.

The Black Veil

1. DISCRETION
This lifeforbidden is private and sacred. Respect it as such. Do not make a sideshow of yourself. We do not have to prove ourselves to anyone. Appearing on public TV to tell the world that you drink blood is useless attention-getting. It gets a negative reaction for the whole community. Our place is in the shadows; our greatest protection from small-minded humanity is the fact that they do not believe we exist. Someday they may be ready for us to reveal ourselves to them, but that time is not now.
Do not hide from your nature, but never show it off to those who won't understand.

2. DIVERSITY
Our paths are many, even though the journey we are on is essentially the same. No single one of us has all the answers to who and what we are. Respect everyone's personal views and practices. We cannot let petty differences of ideology prevent us from maintaining a unified community; there are enough who would attack us from the outside.
Our diversity is our strength. Let our differences in viewpoint enrich us but never divide us amongst ourselves.

3. SAFETY
Use sense when indulging your nature. Do not flaunt what you are in public places. Feed in private and make certain your donors will be discrete about what happens between you. Donors who create rumors and gossip about us are more harm than they're worth. If you engage in blood-letting, put safety and caution above all other things. Blood-born diseases are a very real thing, and we cannot risk endangering ourselves or others through irresponsibility. Screen donors carefully, making certain they are in good health both mentally and physically.
Never overindulge or get careless. The safety of the entire community rests upon each member's caution.

4. CONTROL
We cannot and should not deny the darkness within. Yet we should not allow it to control us. If our beast or shadow or darkside is given too much sway, it clouds our judgement, making us a danger even to those we love. Never indulge in pointless violence. Never bring willful harm to those who sustain you. Never feed only for the sake of feeding, and never give over to mindless bloodlust.
We are not monsters: we are capable of rational thought and self-control. Celebrate the darkness and let it empower you, but never let it enslave your will.

5. LIFEforbidden
Live your life as an example to others in the community. We are privileged to be what we are, but power should be accompanied by responsibility and dignity.

Get in touch with key members of the community, learn who is who, and show proper respect where it is due. You should not expect to impose your old way of doing things on this new community.

Always be on your best behavior when coming to a new city either to visit or to stay. We are all cautious and territorial by nature, and only by making the most positive impression possible will you be accepted and respected in a new community.

This is only one theory. There are probably as many theories as there are Wiccans. This just happens to be the one I like the best.

Before there was time, there was The One. All were created from The One, and from all was The One created. In the vast emptiness of the universe, space began to move.

The One was split into Two forms, equal in energy, but opposite in form. One became The Goddess and the other, The God. The Goddess and God were thankful for their creation, but were lonely, for they lived only in the dark emptiness of space.

So they pulled together their energy, and turned it into gases and then turned these gases into planets, suns, and moons. They were so happy with their creation that they rejoiced and were merry and were unified.

From that union, came all life, and humans were created to be one upon the earth to achieve incarnation. The Goddess and God watched over their creation and decided to each take a position, where they could each watch over all sides of the earth, day and night.

The Goddess surrounded the moon, and The God surrounded the Sun. They took these symbols to watch over the life they had created, and so that humans would be reminded of Them.

All enter the circle of life. We are born, we live, we die, and are born again. All throughout the energies of the earth, under the Sun and the Moon, we are the circle of life.

The Circle is Open yet Unbroken. We all come from The One, and to The One shall return.

Thirteen Goals of a Witch

1. Know yourself
2. Know your Craft (Wicca)
3. Learn
4. Apply knowledge with wisdom
5. Achieve balance
6. Keep your words in good order
7. Keep your thoughts in good order
8. Celebrate life
9. Attune with the cycles of the Earth
10. Breathe and eat correctly
11. Exercise the body
12. Meditate
13. Honor the Goddess and God

Council Principles

1. We practice Rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the moon and the seasonal quarters and cross quarters.

2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment.

3. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than is apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary, it is sometimes called "supernatural," but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.

4. We conceive of the creative power of the Universe as manifesting through polarity - as masculine and feminine - and believe that this same creative power lives in all people and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive of the other. We value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magical practice and religious worship.

5. We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological, worlds - sometimes known as the spiritual world, the collective unconsciousness, the Inner Planes, etc. - and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.

6. We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.

7. We see religion, magick, and wisdom-in-living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it - a worldview and philosophy of life that we identify as Witchcraft, the Wiccan Way.

8. Calling oneself a "witch" does not make a Witch - but neither does heredity itself, or the collecting of titles, degrees, and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within him/herself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well, without harm to others, and in harmony with Nature.

9. We acknowledge that it is the affirmation and fulfillment of life, in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness, that gives meaning to the Universe we know and to our personal role within it.

10. Our only animosity toward Christianity, or toward any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be "the only way" and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.

11. As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, or the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.

12. We do not accept the concept of "absolute evil," nor do we worship any entity known as "Satan" or "the devil," as defined by the Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor do we accept the concept that personal benefit can only be derived from denial to another.

13. We acknowledge that we seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.

The Sabbats

There are eight Sabbats. Four of them are Greater Sabbats: Samhain (SOW-wen), Imbolc (IM-bolk), Beltane (BEL-tayne), and Lughnassad (LOO-nus-uh), also called Lammas. There are also four Lesser Sabbats: Yule, Ostara (oh-STAR-ah), Summer Solstice and Mabon (MAY-bon).

Samhain (October 31)

Samhain is the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of the Celtic year. Celebrations to honor the dead are held on this night. This is also the night when the veil between the living and dead is said to be at its thinnest. Therefore, communication with spirits, divination and scrying are best undertaken during this time.

On a personal level this is a time to rest and reflect on life and your goals. It is the time to get rid of negativity that may stand in the way of future progress.

Symbols and Colors: Pomegranates, apples, pumpkins, cauldron, corn stalks, photos of ancestors, black altar cloth and black or red candles.

Yule (Winter Solstice, around December 21)

Yule is the longest night and the shortest day of the year. It is seen as the rebirth of the Sun God. Fires are lit to welcome the Sun's returning light. A yule log is sometimes burned on this night, with a portion of the log saved each year to light the next years log, symbolizing the rebirth of the Sun God.

On a personal level Yule is a time to begin thinking about what you hope to accomplish in the months to come.

Symbols and Colors: Yule log, cauldron, mistletoe, Yule tree, poinsettia plants, evergreens, red altar clothes and red or green candles.

Imbolc (February 2)

Imbolc is the festival of lights and the celebration of the renewed fertility of Earth. It is celebrated with fires and lit candles. It's a traditional time for covens to initiate new members or for others to do self-dedications.

On a personal level Imbolc is a time to prepare for what you want to accomplish in the months ahead.

Symbols and Colors: Bridget's cross, crown of candles, white flowers, seeds, white, silver or pink altar cloths and white candles.

Ostara (Spring Equinox, around March 21)

Ostara is the Spring Equinox and is the first day of spring. Fertility abounds. It is a time for beginnings. There is balance between the masculine and feminine forces in nature.

On a personal level it is a time to physically and symbolically plant the seeds of what you desire.

Symbols and Colors: eggs, seeds, lilac altar cloth and scented candle.

Beltane (April 30)

Beltane is mainly a fire and fertility festival. The major symbols of this holiday are the Maypole and the cauldron. The Maypole is a phallic symbol, which has seven colored ribbons, tied to it. As the people dance around the Maypole they weave the ribbons around it.

On a personal level this is the time to actively pursue your goals.

Symbols and Colors: Maypole, cauldron, candles, crown of flowers, green altar cloth and candles.

Midsummer (Summer Solstice, around June 21)

Midsummer is the longest day and shortest night. In the past bonfires were a way of celebrating and promoting purification, fertility and love. It is said that one custom of our ancestors was jumping over the fire during this holiday. It was believed that the higher one jumped, the higher the crops would grow.

On a personal level it is a time to nurture goals and efforts.

Symbols and Colors: floating candles, bonfires, a wheel tied with colored ribbons, bright yellow altar cloth and candles.

Lughnasadh (August 1)

Lughnasadh is also known as Lammas. Corn is a big part of rituals at this time. It is the beginning of the harvest and it is a tradition to break bread on this day.

On a personal level, as with the harvest, the fruits of your efforts should start to be evident and you should continue working toward them.

Symbols and Colors: corn, bread, baked goods, brooms, gold colored altar cloth and candles.

Mabon (Autumnal Equinox, around September 21)

Mabon is the second harvest. It is a time to give thanks for all we have and also a time to make sure we keep all that we have gained.

On a personal level give thanks for all you've accomplished and ask for the ability to hold on to it.

Symbols and Colors: corn baba, apples, cornucopias, cauldron, orange-red altar cloth and orange or red candles.

The Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan laws ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust.

Live and let live,
Fairly take and fairly give.

Cast the Circle thrice about,
To keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell every time,
Let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak little, listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing Moon,
Chanting out the Witches rune.

Widdershins go by the waning Moon,
Chanting out the baneful rune.

When the Lady's Moon is new,
Kiss thy hand to her, times two.

When the Moon rides at her peak,
Then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss thee on thy mouth.

When the wind blows from the West,
Departed souls will have no rest.

When the wind blows from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go,
Burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be thy Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn,
Let the Beltane fires burn.

When the Wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the Log and the Horned One rules.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree,
By the Lady blessed be.

Where the rippling waters go,
Cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When ye have a true need,
Hearken not to other's greed.

With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Threefold Law you should,
Three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on thy brow.

True in love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to thee.

These eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
An ye harm none, do what ye will.

The Law of the Power

1. The Power shall not be used to bring harm, to injure or control others. But if the need arises, the Power shall be used to protect your life or the lives of others.

2. The Power is used only as need dictates.

3. The Power can be used for your own gain, as long as by doing so you harm none.

4. It is unwise to accept money for use of the Power, for it quickly controls its taker. Be not as those of other religions.

5. Use not the Power for prideful gain, for such cheapens the mysteries of Wicca and magick.

6. Ever remember that the Power is the sacred gift of the Goddess and God, and should never be misused or abused.

7. And this is the Law of the Power.

The Laws

1. We are of the Old Ways, among those who walk with the Goddess and God and receive Their love.

2. Keep the Sabbats and Esbats to the best of your abilities, for to do otherwise is to lessen your connections with the Goddess and God.

3. Harm none. This, the oldest law, is not open to interpretation or change.

4. Shed not blood in ritual; the Goddess and God need not blood to be duly worshipped.

5. Those of our way are kind to all creatures, for hurtful thoughts are quite draining and aren't worth the loss of energy. Misery is self-created; so, too, is joy, so create joy and disdain misery and unhappiness. And this is within your power. So harm not.

6. Teach only what you know, to the best of your ability, to those students whom you choose, but teach not to those who would use your instructions for destruction or control. Also, teach not to boost pride, for ever remember: she who teaches for vain-glory shall take little pride in her handiwork; she who teaches out of love shall be enfolded in the arms of the Goddess and God.

7. Ever remember that if you would be of our way, keep the Law close to your heart, for it is the nature of the Wicca to keep the Law.

8. If ever the need arises, any law may be changed or discarded, and new laws written to replace them, so long as the new laws don't break the oldest of all: harm none.

9. Blessings of the God and Goddess on us all.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

To the men reading this, I can befriend you, feed off you, tolerate you for a snack, or amusement. To very few I may even love you, but you hurt or betray me, I will rip your beating heart from your chest, and suck the blood from it, as I watch you gasp and die....I don't tolerate B.S.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Blessed Be, Until Our paths Do Cross Again
