The mission of the Atlanta
Vampire Alliance is to promote unity in the greater Atlanta community while being available to the newly
awakened to encourage self-awareness and responsibility. We honor the
traditions of history, respect, and discretion regarding community affairs,
while advocating the safety and well-being of our members. Emphasizing research
and supporting social gatherings, we highlight the importance of education and
strength of involvement as a cohesive force in our area. By taking an active
role, we will serve not only ourselves, but also our community, and our city.
The Atlanta Vampire Alliance
promotes itself as a neutral vampire community organization. We are not directly
affiliated with any other house, order, or council, although we welcome
associate members from many diverse areas of the online vampire community. The majority of our
members share a similar background of solitary participation, and therefore,
when drafting our fundamental articles, we made a personal decision to avoid
using a hierarchal or social-promotion system. While we respect others who
choose to institute such a caste system, we remain steadfast in our chosen
structure, allowing us to freely encourage camaraderie and proactive
involvement within the vampire community. Despite the lack of common
ritualistic protocols, our policies regarding those we do accept and the
maturity of our applicants are taken very seriously. Our members enjoy equal
status and voice regardless of the path, religion, or philosophy they hold.
Further complimenting this system, the five founding members of the AVA conduct
business as a cooperative body, sharing a vision of responsibility, tolerance,
and awareness among both the greater and local vampire community. In addition
to our participation in a varied spectrum of social activities, our energies
are also directed towards the support of the local vampire populace, and those
who come to us seeking guidance. The majority of our work is conducted offline
with frequent monthly meetings. Aside from the strong offline presence, we host
an expansive open forum to all who wish to join regardless of location or
affiliation. The topics of discussion in this forum range from psi/sang
vampirism to occult magick to metaphysics to local issues.
The primary focus of the AVA is to expand the educational boundaries of our own
community while improving the quality of the study of the vampiric condition
among the non-vampiric population. Members of our house have been working on
various educational and professional papers over the course of several years.
Our base membership and associates encompass decades of involvement from all
paths of the vampire community. It is from this collective of unique
individuals that we draw our strength in the fields of occult, paranormal,
parapsychological, phenomenological, psionics, and general underground
community research. The Atlanta Vampire Alliance's research company, released the Vampire & Energy Work Research Survey (VEWRS)
in March 2006, the Advanced Vampirism & Energy Work Research Survey
(AVEWRS) in August 2006, and is currently involved in other related studies of
interest to both the community and institutional researchers. Composed of over
three hundred and fifty and six hundred questions respectively and covering a
vast range of vampiric personal and community experiences, this study is unique
in its scope and purpose.
All who share a sincere interest in our research, forums, and community hosted
events are encouraged to participate. We extend an open hand to those of all
houses, orders, or paths who visit our city; as we share a common vision of
productive growth and organization within the community. For more information,
