The BEST Torture Museum I have visited is right in Hollywood!

Over the years I have visited torture museums in Paris, Mexico, Amsterdam, etc and it usually co-insides with me going on the local ghost and vampire tour. When I was invited to visit and blog about the new Medieval Torture Museum right on Hollywood Blvd, just down the street from Bar Sinister and the El Capitan Theatre. Honestly I was like “oh no another cheesy torture museum!!”

Well I was pleasantly surprised (YES FOR A TORTURE MUSEUM), huge (over 6000 sq ft), it was well lit, the recreations of the items were fantastic and you could touch them, the descriptions of the torture devices were fairly accurate. The human mannequins were the most realistic and looked like they were in truly in pain. The music was uplifting and you could even touch almost everything. Look for the ropes and pull them!

Highly recommended for a family outing. Get 25% discount when you book your tickets on their website! They also have locations in Saint Augustine FL and Chicago.

LA Medieval Torture Museum at 6757 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028, closes at Midnight, tell them Father Sebastiaan sent you for a special surprise!

10 Things YOU can DO to improve the Vampire Culture

Our collective mission for the VC (Vampire Culture) of the Sabretooth Clan we call the “Great Work.”  This is the foundation why I wrote the Black Veils.  The Great Work is to inspire, challenge and set and example through the Sabretooth Clan and Endless Night events.  Each individual should strive for personal nobility, everyone should strive to be their own King or Queen.  I have seen the Vampire Mythos has evolved and we are entering a new and potentially amazing “vampiric age” beyond anything of the past (yes even the 1990s) and I am EXTREMELY excited.  It is our opportunity so lets not mess it up.

So below is a list of 10 things which I suggest individuals do to take action to improve Vampire Culture beyond just partying and spending all day online playing politics.  I forewarn this Great Work will take focus, hard work, creativity, action and effort.  With so much talk on the concept of coming together as a Vampire Community.  I believe we must start with culture.  Culture is an important part of evolution of the unification of any community.  People talk about the concept of community, but they don’t know where to truly start.  There is a desire to get along in harmony and the Vampire is an evolved being, we are the forerunners of many trends and the keepers of lost traditions and ideas.  Focus your energy on the beauty and majesty of the vampire archetype.

Here we go:

  1. MusicListen to classics, educate yourself on lyrics or support a band talking about Vampire Culture.  Music vibrates and moves the very building blocks of the universe.
  2. DanceBe it ballroom, the waltz, ballet, gothic / industrial, asian geisha dances, etc. are a powerful energetic and creative focuses.  Take a dance class or give one.
  3. Martial Arts Can bring forth discipline and focus, provide training for self defense and explore a philosophy of chivalry and honor.
  4. EducationThe BDSM and Pagan communities have workshops, courses, classes, etc. on a a variety of subjects of interest.  Do courses, presentations, classes on Yoga, reiki, Vampire Mythology, Ancient cultures, dance, etc.
  5. WriteA book, poem, song or article on a subject to inspire, educate and challenge the modern VC.
  6. Gastronomy Eat and drink together, cook, host a dinner party.  Food and cooking together at the same table is a powerful cultural tool of unifying the VC.  When in another halo explore the local cuisine.
  7. Visit / Travel / ExploreYES BE A TOURIST.  Get to know the local monuments, food, history, culture, historical and sites of interest.  Do it with other local vampires.  Show hospitality to other Vampires.
  8. CommunionDo energy communions together, hold hands, breath and meditate, cleanse, centre and ground.
  9. TalkCommunication is key, don’t focus on differences, focus on common things of interest like music, food, humour, your favorite TV show or films, etc.
  10. Craftmake beautiful and symbolic things, create be it a new corset, fashion, make a beautiful costume for the next vampire event, craft piece of wood, make a sculpture or a make beautiful painting.  Crafting its good for the soul, Current and brings postitive focused energy.

So let US begin…

The origins of the Vampyre term Black Swan

In 1997 I coined a term called Black Swan for my partner Lucianna at the time. She wanted to participate in the vampire world but didn’t identify as a full Vampire. So I came up with the term which was original “My Swan” out of respect for her instead of calling her a ghoul or familiar. So here is the Black Veil as presented in the book Black Veils: Master Vampyre Edition 888.

Black Swans

Within the Veils, “Black Swans” are non-Vampire individuals who are intimately knowledgeable about the Black Veils and are friendly allies to their vampire friends. They are often involved in the Vampire subculture and associated with a Vampire, and can be friends, donors, dayside family members, lovers, or even potential Vampires yet to be awakened. The term Black Swan was coined at the New York City (Gotham Halo) Vampire nightclub Long Black Veil in 1997, for those who would bring their friends, parents, siblings, and lovers to the club.

One misconception within the Vampire World is that all Black Swans are donors. This is certainly very common, but it is not always the case. Many are even lifestyle Vampires who wear fangs, dress up, and know a great deal about the Vampire culture, philosophy, and traditions.. Often Black Swans are practicing the dayside elements of the Vampire lifestyle known as “lifestylers.”

In contrast to Black Swans are “White Swans’ who are against the Vampire lifestyle to varying degrees ranging from very hostile to just annoying.  These individuals can range from a girlfriend, friend, sibling or parent who strongly mocks or dislikes the Vampire lifestyle. They often will say things like, ìWhy are you wearing fangs?î or ìYou are really only living in a fantasy world, so stop it.î

Black Swans are to be treasured by Vampires and are strong allies. Treat them well and with respect, they are not pets but individuals with open minds and often resonate strongly with the Current and Vampire World. Even though the term originated at Long Black Veil it has become used by the Vampire Community throughout the world.

Father Sebastiaan explores the Legacy of the Endless Nights

You know what gives me the greatest pleasure of being Impresario of Endless Nights? YOU the “Nighters”, the people who support and attend the events, make all the effort to come out and become someone new and awaken! You Nighters be in Berlin, Paris, New York, Prague or New Orleans share the same spirit, soul and love for what Endless Nights has become. An international experience! Yet many of you have not met in person you carry the spirit of EN “AKA Fred Samedi” in your hearts. You see each others pictures on Facebook and exchange energy and ideas. The excitement builds. But you Nighters do not compete in some fashion contest, you are each others muses, you inspire each other. Now that is power and it is just getting even more interesting! Let go!
