Statement of Purpose

There are already more real vampire sites and projects on line than any online explorer could visit in their lifetime.  All right, maybe that's an exagerration, but there are still a lot of sites out there.

 

So what is Vampgeist?  What is the operating idea?  What is it we plan to offer those who come a seeking?

 

In short, it goes something like this.

 

First and foremost, we are seeking to better understand ourselves through the vampire archetype.  This archetype has been found in virtually every human culture around the world.

 

Vampgeist aims to describe a system of vampiric practice that can be understood by society in general.

 

While the origins of Vampgeist and its creators lie with the vampire Order of Maidenfear, Vampgeist operates independently of Maidenfear or any other vampire group. 

 

Vampgeist operates independently of the real vampire community and of society at large.  In this way, we serve both through information and education.

 

Vampgeist will assert that our paradigm is but one of many in the vampire community.

Vampgeist seeks to represent the real vampire community with respect and dignity.

Vampgeist is here to provide information to people outside of the community about the phenomenon of real vampirism.  If you think people aren't perennially interested in vampires, ask someone.

Vampgeist hopes to provide timely and relevant warnings and cautions against media traps and disambiguations.

Vampgeist will mediate access to the real vampire community for those seeking to learn or satisfy their curiosity.

Vampgeist can provide provisionary legal advice to individuals who feel that their essential rights are being threatened.

Vampgeist exists to protect individuals from media predators and exploitation.

Vampgeist will produce quality non-fiction articles and press releases independently and at the request of Client-Members.

Vampgeist is a SERVICE, not an Order or a Court.

How can we do this?  We are media professionals, with experience in print and broadcast journalism.  Our basic tenet is that being a vampire is fascinating enough without needing to dress the part or throw in some stereotypical imagery.

Please feel free to contact us for clarification of any of the above or if you have questions about Vampgeist's services.
