I am currently enjoying the extended sunshine the recesses of my birthright in Western Europe have to offer; so don..t be offended if it takes a while for me to get back to you.
I lived for many years in the NY/NJ area and a few years in the Savannah, GA area, among other places. I have been considered a muse to aspiring artists, through "The Rift Arts Forum", a creationist's not-for-profit guild, offering a constant outpour of cultural/art-related happenings. If you delve in such, perhaps you have met me in some dimly lit cafe, heard my lyrical words on the radio or on the cable TV programs "Vampyre Dreams" or "Vampyre Lounge", read my work in "Vampyre Magazine", or met me at the "Endless Night" gatherings in New Orleans.
Inspired by a desire to motivate others to the same path of self-discovery and evolution, I took part in the conception of several regional vampyre societies, including: "The Iron Garden" (NJ), "The Court of Lazarus" (NY), "Black Atlantis" (GA), and “Black Oaks†(GA). More recently, I have also co-hosted "Black Abbey" (NYC).
In the past I have performed at the NJ Renaissance Faire, an orphans' charity, and have volunteered as literary panel mediator for the AIDS charity, "GothCon" in New Orleans and Atlanta.
I love to Travel. Some of my international travel exploits include: São Paulo, Caracas, Quebec, London, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Rome & the Transylvanian haunts of Romania.
Most recently, I have contributed to "Vampires in their own words", and also the "Vampyre Almanac 2006", "V" aka "The Black Veil" and “The Saguinomiconâ€. These books present a collection of philosophies, traditions, and techniques designed to challenge and inspire this rapidly growing subculture. They focus on community conduct, spirituality, energy work and provide an excellent compendium of the postmodern vampyre culture throughout the world.
I am an eclectic spiritualist and consider myself somewhat of a chaos magician, as such, my views on metaphysics and Vampyrism are sacred and diverse. Knowing that the vampyric nature is not easily explained, I feel that the desire to decipher it opens portals to a kaleidoscope of personal ideologies; transcending an insatiable love for life, spheres of spiritual awakenings, and transformations into the completion of the self, where the journey itself is the ultimate key.
I am the Matriarch of House of the Dreaming, my nightside family while I dedicate myself to many other personal and introspective projects.
