by Michelle Belanger
The Vampire Codex is a document written by occultist and
psychic vampire Michelle Belanger for use as the instructional
text of House Kheperu (www.kheperu.org).
The prototype of this work was first set to paper in late 1991. A
specially printed version was offered to select students in
conjunction with the International Society of Vampires beginning
in 1995. Later revisions led to the Sanguinarium edition,
published by the Sanguiarium Press in October 2000. This version
is derived from the Sanguinarium edition which also came to be
circulated widely on the Internet.
The Vampire Codex has had a significant impact on the worldwide
community of psychic vampires, becoming the fundamental text used
by numerous Houses, Orders, Covens, and Clans. It is hosted on
www.quinotaur.org as well
as numerous others and has influenced the teachings of vampire
groups throughout the US, Canada, and Western Europe. It has also
come to the attention of several noteworthy occult organizations,
including the Temple of Set, the IOT and the Church of Satan.
(Peter Gilmore, current head of the Church of Satan, expressed his
disappointment at Michelle's absence at the New York City release
of "V" as he wanted her autograph on the special edition of the
Codex released with that work).
As the Kheprian Order has continued to expand and reveal deeper
and more complicated levels of its teachings, the Codex has
continued to grow since its first underground releases. A special
edition written for the Order of the Strigoi Vii was released as
book two of "V" October 2003 by vampyrealmanac.com in conjunction
with Aangel Publishing. An expanded, revised edition will be
published by Weiser Books in the fall of 2004. This will be the
definitive edition, featuring 108 individual sections broken up
into divisions which address psychic vampirism, basic energy work,
and advanced metaphysical techniques. The version below has come
to be known as the Vampire Codex: Internet Edition and is freely
and widely shared with any and all interested parties. It is
derived mainly from the 2000 Sanguinarium edition, although it
includes a few sections originally left out of that published
edition.
