Within Vampyre Initiatory systems you’ll learn about degrees of initiation by their Aeonic names. Not all Vampyre clans, courts or houses abide by these. But if they were initiated by the Ordo Strigoi Vii which is the most prominent Vampyre Organization that is recognized on a more Global scale, then they will definitely be operating under this system.
PROSPECTII: 0
The Seeker, generally when you first hear that vampyres exist, your curiousity is peeked and no you’re trying to find hat ever you can that can give you more insights into hat Vampyres are, and hat the traditions and codes of the society are. This is the Prospect stage, just right for any Vampyre to come along and take you onto the journey. Until you’ve found that Vampyre, you’re still a seeker. But if you look around long enough, you’ll eventually just find the answers you seek without a mentor.
JAHIRA: 1
Dayside Initiate, once you’ve been discovered you’ll be introduced to the dayside of vampyre life. you’ll meet the Black Swans and learn what the Swans are, you’ll meet donors and learn what they do. you’ll learn the laws, rules, etiquette, and social dynamics. You’ll meet the Lifestylers, cosplayers, fangdom, the designated Fang-Smith of the Haven. You’ll learn Vampyre language as you go. You might even see a ceremony or ritual take place at an event as there is almost always at least one ritual performance. You’ll meet allot of folks who claim to be vampyres, but only Vampyres can see through the smoke screen of the Masquerade. If you are a Vampyre, and you’ve been discovered by the Adepts, then you’ll be invited into the night. and there is no turning back.
CALMAE: 2
Nightside Adept, This is where you’ll learn about energy sensing, energy manipulation, feeding, filtering, shielding, Reiki, Energy gathering and projection. Energy Healing, and other ritual essentials. Like the Throning rite, Earning your Sobriquette (Vampyre Name), Consecrating your Grimoire and Legacy Ankh, and having your first pair of fangs made by a Fang-Smith. (Most get their fangs at Jahira phase.)
This is the stage where many initiates stop moving forward in the tradition, and focus solely on feeding and energy healing practices. But those who want to explore the possibilities that they can unlock within their potential… they keep going and become master mages in the tradition.
MOROII: 3
Twilight Priests, in the OSV tradition they wait until the 3rd stage to introduce you to Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, Psychic Development, Remote Viewing, Astral Shape-Shifting, Pranayama Breathing, Meditation, Yoga, Tantric Training, Sigil Magick, Thoughtform Creation, Divination, and Ritual Ceremonial Magick.
KHARRUS: 4
Priestly Ordination of one of the 3 Currents of Kitra, Mradu, & Ramkht. Kharrus is another tier of Vampyre mastery within the OSV Tradition where a proficient Vampyre Mage, will tap into one of the 3 major currents of the Great Dragon, which in their tradition they’ve named “Elorath.” These currents will determine what roles a vampyre mage will play in ritual ceremony. But they will also play higher social roles within the Court or House or Coven they Represent. Kitra is the Councilor, Mradu is the Noble Knight, Ramkht is the Priestly Magician or Wise-Person.
