Father Sebastiaan’s Blog: What is the Current?

0
0

The Current refers to the group spirit and vibe of the Sanguinarium, Endless Night Vampire Ball events and Sabretooths (Father Sebastiaan’s personal fang clients) which can also be seen as a living entity that is the result of the Family’s agreement, rituals, actions, traditions, philosophy and culture. Often the Current is referred to as the “Blood” of the Family. The Current is not physical; it is made up of subtle energies such as thoughts, emotions, ideas, concepts and links. 

The Current gains strength through the interactions of the community of the Sanguinarium, Sabretooth Fang clients and attendees of the Endless Night events.  Each Rite of Transformation, ritual, performance, event, gathering and tradition practiced manifests, fuels and empowers the Current.   You can often witness the Current being invoked within the White Rite of Transformation (our Sabretooth fangsmithing ceremony) or as the spirit within the Endless Night events.

As the Current flows from each member’s successes and personal evolution, it is added to the collective flow of energy in the Family, which can then in turn be tapped by members.   The quality and quantity of individuals in agreement is a resource that amplifies the Current as a whole, as long as the individuals make the sincere effort to invest their passion, love and loyalty.

As an egregore (Greek for Watcher), the Current is an elemental built from spiritual, cultural and philosophical ties and is given life and fuelled by agreement, offerings and recognition. Egregores can be born, forgotten and evolve. Ancient examples of egregores can even be personified as deities or heroes, entire cultures, and even living stories, mythologies and legends.  Modern examples of egregores are the “team spirit” of a sports team, interactions between the fans of a superhero or TV series (like Dr. Who or Star Wars), or the collective consciousness of a corporation such as Google or Apple.

The Current is invoked within each individual as they continue to awaken.   The Current is not physical, but is made of subtle energies, thoughts, life-force, links, emotions, ideas and concepts.  Empowered through the Quest, agreement and application of our traditions and actions.

There are personified avatars of the Current known as Zoa, which are inspired by the Loa of Voodoo and include Kitra, Mradu, Ramkht and even Fred Samedi.  Each of these represent different elements of the Current and the Vampyre Virtues.  So in effect, the Current is the egregore of the Sanguinarium and its various projects.
