The Grimoire is the core tool of Zhep’r for a practitioner of the Black Veils. The term is often associated with ancient books of magick. A Vampyre Grimoire is a journal of personal practices and a spiritual diary of Zhep’r. Any notebook or journal can serve as a Grimoire. However, many Black Veil Vampyres like to recognize the importance of their Grimoire by customizing their book with leather covers, decorations, magickal signs, or similar embellishments. There are many beautifully decorated blank books that also can serve as Black Veil Vampyre Grimoires. Each Grimoire should be customized and attuned to the individual owner. Some Vampyres even wish to keep their Grimoire online in a secure server for ease of access and security purposes. However, most Vampyres consider a physical book more personal and intimate. The process of physically writing in one’s Grimoire (often with an old-fashioned fountain or quill pen) can become a ritual itself.

The Glamour is a part of Lesser Vampyre Magick and represents the mystic powers of mesmerism, seduction, and control that legends and literature assign to the Black Veil Vampyre. A “Glamour” may be described as a magick spell, or, most commonly, an alluring or fascinating attraction. The moth that immolates itself within a candle flame is irresistibly drawn to the burning glamour of the fire.

Fledglings and those new to Vampyre philosophy are often embroiled in the aesthetics of gothic Vampire imagery, like fangs and
dramatic attire. The mundane world loves such trappings, as they are so many eternally seduced by the fantasy of the vampire. Fangs represent a powerful element of the Glamour, yet it is only the beginning and an example in that it is actually a magic trick, thus each Vampyre is a magician. People want to believe so much that they are honestly deceived; so many in these modern times need to believe in Vampyres and we play off this.

Glamour on an advanced level can include actual magic tricks, employment of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques,
traditional seduction, aromatherapy, being well dressed and clean cut, and a multitude of other concepts. Glamour is a powerful vehicle to move forward in life, be it amongst Vampyres or within the mundane world, and weaves the Veils of Elegance and Seduction together into an effective and almost unstoppable Vampyre Culture.


Black Veils: Master Vampyre Edition 888

For the Strigoi Vii, money is a vessel of energy and a tool of power. From the Dayside perspective, We seek mastery of Our material world and avoid being a slave to it as so many are. To the Strigoi Vii, money is simply a tool, just as a paintbrush is the tool an artist uses to create a great masterpiece.
The contemporary drive toward commodification in society is seen clearly in the fact that most people are seduced by and obsessed with material comforts instead of mastering themselves. The majority of the mortal-minded population lives in a complacent world. Through out history, they served as disciples of the world’s religions and as unthinking subjects of monarchy. Today, they are lulled into a form of mental slavery through mass media tools such as television and video games and expensive “toys” with little use value, such as overpriced cell phones and costly clothing.
The Strigoi Vii sees money as just another tool and will not be blindly seduced by such symbols of slavery! Instead, the Strigoi Vii thinks as a master of their money, which they see only as an instrument for personal evolution.
