Vampgeist Mission Statement

Why Vampgeist?  Here's why.

1) Vampgeist has been founded on the idea that the vampire archetype is a crucial figure in the collective mentality of the human race.  This is supported by extensive research that has shown how the vampire and vampire-like beings exist in the folklore of virtually every human culture.

2) Vampgeist asks what the global presence of the vampire indicate about humanity.

3) Vampgeist presents the modern real vampire community as the heir to ancient lore and legend.  Mindfully or otherwise, the members of the community are keeping the vampire archetype vibrant and evolving.

4) Vampgeist recognizes the media as the modern equivalent of epic poetry or cave paintings.  It is how ideas are communicated for discussion and enrichment.

5) Vampgeist exists to help real vampires have a beneficial interface with the media, which includes discerning valid media projects from those seeking to exploit the "fabulous" nature of real vampires.

These fundamental principles are more fully developed throughout the site.
