Interview with Jezabelle Montrose
Interviewed by Damien Daville
I am pleased to sit in on this interview with
Jezabelle Montrose, one of the oldest members of the
Vampire Church. I first met Jezabelle seven years ago.
DamienDaville: I would like to welcome Jezabelle Montrose to
the interview chair as our next interview for VC Magazine.
DamienDaville: Hello Jezabelle and welcome to the
Interview chair for VC Magazine, how are you tonight?
Tala Breahn: I'm good, thanks. And you?
DamienDaville: Very well thank you.
DamienDaville: Lets see, I have known you for some seven
to eight years now correct?
Tala Breahn: It doesn't seem like that long, but yes.
Tala Breahn: Seven to be exact.
DamienDaville: Yes that is about right. I remember about
The time we met up.
Tala Breahn: Things were pretty different back then.
The VC has come a long way.
DamienDaville: Yes it has. What was it like for you
when you first came into the Vampire Church?
Tala Breahn: It was pretty chaotic, for me personally
and for the group
DamienDaville: I will agree considering I was
there back then.
DamienDaville: How did you hear of the Vampire
Church and why did you join?
Tala Breahn: The LOD site came up through the
Excite.com search engine during some online research
Tala Breahn: I looked around a lot and it seemed to be
the most realistic group.
DamienDaville: the LOD stood for Legion of
Darkness, correct?
Tala Breahn: Yes.
Tala Breahn: There's so much role playing crap out
There.
DamienDaville: Indeed, there is a lot of play acting.
Tala Breahn: I just felt...comfortable there.
Tala Breahn: or here, rather.
DamienDaville: so you were looking for a true vampire
group and the Church of the Vampires in the LOD
seemed like a good place to start?
Tala Breahn: Yes. I spent a lot of time researching first
before choosing.
DamienDaville: That is about the time I met you when
the LOD was still active.
Tala Breahn: It wasn't active for very long after I
joined. I showed up right before everything fell apart and
you moved us on to bigger and better things.
DamienDaville: I remember well leaving the LOD
behind and the chaos and egos when I moved on and
took the Vampire Church with me. You were one of the
few who came with me when I started this group.
Tala Breahn: Damn vampire politics
DamienDaville: Could you explain what you did for the
Vampire Church while you were a member?
Tala Breahn: Eventually (before my computer died) I
handled the applications you sent on to me and I covered
the interviews that you didn't have time to do.
DamienDaville: Indeed, an important position which I
thank you for doing.
Tala Breahn: I did some work on the coding for the
Newsletter one month too, when another former member didn't
have time to finish it
Tala Breahn: I was happy to help. I wish I had more
time now to contribute more, but hopefully that's
changing.
DamienDaville: So it was computer problems that
caused you to leave the Vampire Church? And when was
that?
Tala Breahn: Spring of 2000 was when my computer
officially died. I tried to get online as much as I could at
my mother's, or my ex-mother-in-law's but it wasn't
enough.
Tala Breahn: I couldn't even keep up with the email
DamienDaville: I can understand that.
Tala Breahn: I'm very happy to be back.
Tala Breahn: The first thing I did when I got my new
computer in February was come looking for the site.
DamienDaville: So you remained gone till just recently
when you returned to the Vampire Church as an Associate
Member. Could you tell me something about what
happened in your personal life during that time?
Tala Breahn: A lot has happened...I was almost married
and then separated, my daughter was born, I bought a
house this year as well. I've grown a lot in these 5 years.
I'm much more...comfortable in my skin now.
DamienDaville: Yes a lot happens in five years, that I
can understand
DamienDaville: So you are comfortable now, and I
was pleased to see you reappear and rejoin
DamienDaville: What do you do for work in your life
now?
Tala Breahn: I've just cut my 3 jobs down to 2. I'm
taking a 6 month leave of absence from my factory job. I
work in a bar part-time...we'll just leave it at that
DamienDaville: Ok, so you have stayed very busy.
So you have how many children now?
Tala Breahn: I have two. My son is seven now and my
baby girl is three.
DamienDaville: Well you have your hands full with
them and working the jobs you have.
Tala Breahn: It was rough with two full time jobs and
one part time. It's nice now having the extra time.
DamienDaville: Well you certainly deserve it.
DamienDaville: Lets change subjects here for a
moment.
DamienDaville: Would you tell the readers here how
you discovered your vampirism and the
vampire condition?
Tala Breahn: I'd always felt there was something
different, but it wasn't until high school that I met
someone who explained things and taught me how to
consciously psychic-feed.
DamienDaville: Ok, do you consider yourself
primarily seeking psychic energies for your vampirism
needs?
Tala Breahn: That was me 5 years ago. Now, I rely
more on elemental sources.
Tala Breahn: My other job had me pretty much just
working and sleeping. And when I was at work, I was
on my own most of the time.
Tala Breahn: So while walking home at night, I usually
took the long way around through the park and stop for
a minute under my favorite tree, near the stream.
DamienDaville: So your vampirism and its needs
have changed along the way here.
Tala Breahn: Great energy there.
DamienDaville: When you say elemental sources, could
you be more specific?
Tala Breahn: Water is the element I feel the strongest
connection to.
Tala Breahn: Sitting on the grass beside the stream at
three am, under a willow tree in the moonlight...
DamienDaville: or are there other things present?
Tala Breahn: It starts with the water, but I draw from
the tree beside me, the earth under me and even the
moon above on a full moon.
DamienDaville: OK, so there are several things present
that you are drawing energy from.
Tala Breahn: an Elemental cocktail, I guess
DamienDaville: Has this been enough for you, or have
you had to seek other living energies elsewhere?
Tala Breahn: I need living energies as well, this just gets
me through till the opportunity arises.
Tala Breahn: My new job has been great in that
respect. Working in the bar gives me access to a
constant flow of sexual energy
DamienDaville: Sexual energy at a bar? Could you
explain more please.
Tala Breahn: I guess I'll have to go into more detail on
the job....okay, it's a strip club. I'm an exotic dancer
DamienDaville: I see
DamienDaville: and you then take in the energies from
the reactions of patrons?
Tala Breahn: There's the group energy of the crowd
when I'm on stage, and even better, the energy raised in
the VIP room while giving a private lap dance
DamienDaville: well this gives you some very
good living energies I take it then.
Tala Breahn: Definitely
DamienDaville: ok... lets turn to now
DamienDaville: Now that you have rejoined the
Vampire Church, what would you like to do now in this
Organization?
DamienDaville: Do you have anything specific in
mind?
Tala Breahn: For one, I'd like to connect to more
people in my area. There's a definite lack of community,
both online and off, for Canada
DamienDaville: Yes I remember you stating you are
in the Ontario area of Canada correct?
Tala Breahn: You Americans seem to have gotten it
together but we're all still hiding under rocks or
something up here
Tala Breahn: Yes, South-Western Ontario
DamienDaville: So what do you think the community
there needs?
Tala Breahn: It needs to exist, basically.
Tala Breahn: There aren't really many Canadian groups
out there.
Tala Breahn: And believe me, I've been looking
DamienDaville: So are you saying you would like to do
more work helping people meet offline in the community
there?
Tala Breahn: I found the Toronto Vampires meet-up
group. They seem to have offline meetings in Toronto,
but their e-list is dead
DamienDaville: I see
Tala Breahn: Yes, and online as well.
DamienDaville: Well, I believe maybe the Vampire
Church may be able to help you there.
DamienDaville: One more question..
DamienDaville: What plans do you have if any for your
personal future if I may ask?
Tala Breahn: For my personal future...my goal for next
year is either college, or to relocate to Alberta for a fresh
start.
DamienDaville: Well I am pleased that you found your
way back to the Vampire Church.
Tala Breahn: I'm very glad to be back
DamienDaville: and Jezabelle, I want to thank you for
taking time to sit with me for this interview for the next
Issue of VC Magazine
Tala Breahn: Thank you for choosing me.
