Strigoi Vii is the plural for Strigoi Viu, the Romanian word meaning, approximately, “living vampire witch.” This is the name We find best suited to describe Our Family, traditions, Mysteries and philosophies. Strigoi Vii is Our form of Vampyric witchcraft, sharing many elements with modern neo-paganism and other esoteric systems, yet still remaining very unique.
Many great thinkers such as Aristotle, William Blake, Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand with her philosophy of Objectivism, and Ragnar Redbeard (author of Might is Right), have expressed elements of Our Dayside perspectives in various ways. However, it must be noted that the Dayside Strigoi Vii philosophy is only partially revealed by these viewpoints or thinkers. Moreover, many of these authors unfortunately include mortal sentiments objectionable to the Strigoi Vii along with their more excellent philosophies. You can also see elements of Our Nightside and Twilight perspectives reflected throughout history in the esoteric realms, including the chaos magick of Peter J. Carroll, Sumerian and Egyptian magic, Hinduism, Bhuddism, the Thelema of Magus Aleister Crowley, shamanism, Gnostic teachings, Judo-Christian mysticism, esotericism, and Hermetic Magick from ancient times.
The process of syncretism is defined as reading between the lines and seeing the elements of Our Mysteries in disparate myths, stories, and thoughts, then putting them back together into greater and more practical truths. As Strigoi Vii that is what We do, seeking the truth and reason through Our own insight as well as that of other wise ones.
For the last millennia since the end of the days of traditional Khem, better know as today as Ancient Egypt, the Strigoi Vii have been in the shadows, working in secrecy on a solitary basis with Our ancestors. However, all of this is changing now. With the guidance of Our Ancestors, a new generation of The Family is finally deliberately reveling Our collective heritage. We are gathering together and slowly coming out of the shadows in order to take part in the future and embrace Our past as one.
