Interview with Russell Kaye
Interviewed by LA Judge
The Vampire Church is unique in that it truly is a global community. Although many here are separated by great distances, we still share common understandings, warm friendships and deep bonds. Australian native, Russell Kaye, a long-standing Vampire Church community member, has given his time and talents, both on and offline, to helping others better understand real vampirism. Enjoy this interview as he speaks about stellar energy and vampirism in the land of Oz.
LA.: Greetings Russell, thanks for joining me. Amazing thing the 'net is - how is your side of the planet?
Russell: Oh yes the net is an amazing place and things are well here, it is Winter and as seasons go energy needs can change. Off line meetings are where the knowledge and friendship are made
LA.: Yea I think we are at exact opposites right now - night / day - summer / winter and everything
Russell: Yes we are lol.
LA.: And you are right offline is where some good friendships are made - but what brought you to the online world and the VC in particular?
Russell: To help assist and support other within the community. Along with education this is for me important.
LA.: You had been a general member with the Vampire Church a long time before joining as an Associate member. What has changed for you? Contrast and compare -- you have helped both as a general member and Associate member for several years now - what are the differences?
Russell: Its was more of an active part the Vampire Church and to get to know others better.
LA.: As an Associate?
Russell: A oh yes.
LA.: Yea I can understand that.
Russell: Thanks. The difference for me like I said a more inner involvement with both the VC and the community. Help, support, educate and assist others both new and old.
LA.: You have been fairly active as an Associate - your work appears regularly in VC magazine - you attend the IRC discussions - and make yourself available both on and off line to answer questions - that is quite a jump compared to what folks usually do as a general member. How do you see that all making a difference both on and offline? And where do you feel your greater responsibility lies?
Russell: Online is fine with me it has its place, although meeting face to face and being able to talk to someone mouth to ear is where the real work is. The mIRC discussions are a great resource to learn in real time.
LA.: Have you been able to do that a lot in your community? So many say meeting folks is nearly impossible.
Russell: Meeting folks has never being a problem with me.
LA.: That is cool.
Russell: Communication, active participation and organization have been the keys for me. It is very cool meeting other putting a face to a voice or e-mail.
LA.: Yes definitely agree with you there.
Russell: What has it been like with you meeting offline?
LA.: Well for me meeting offline is slow - but I have a crazy schedule - so I try to work with it – but sometimes that is hard. I even try meeting people when I travel.
LA.: So give me a sense of what it is like being a vampire in OZ. Are you accepted? Is there a vampire community? Are there elemental or environmental concerns?
Russell: Acceptance is not an issue for me. I accept my vampirism.
LA.: That is cool - so many have issues with that.
Russell: Yes, there is a active community in Australia and as with the US there is also the distance issues. We do not have the environmental concerns as other countries we are so lucky in that aspect. Adapting and adjusting to your environment and surroundings helps
LA.: You have met with some of the general members there - that had to be fun - and hey there is quite a group from OZ on the VC list – cool.
Russell: Yes, I have and it is great fun.
LA.: well I do know you have the weather extremes similar to ours - only maybe even harsher. How does that affect you?
Russell: Extremes used to have a draining effect on me and its was a case of fine tuning and balancing the energies. Over the years I am learned to filter and control the extremes and not let it control me.
LA.: If I am not mistaken, I remember you saying you use Pranic and Stellar as your primary energies -- ah is that right?
Russell: Yep I do.
LA.: I wanted to delve into the Stellar a bit - kind of explain that to the VC Magazine readers if you will.
Russell: Sure. This is using the energies from the planets, stars and other space energies. This also includes elemental energies and lunar and solar energies.
LA.: Would the sun be part of that as well?
Russell: For sure. After all the sun is a star.
LA.: lol - sure is - no many forget that it is a huge energy source. So what for you is the perfect stellar energy scenario?
Russell: Supernovas lol. Black Holes. There is also the energies of wavelength also. This is where Quantum physics and Astrophysics fits in.
LA.: So supernovas & black holes are good energy for you? How do they differ in energy quality from that of a more local source, say the sun for instance?
Russell: I find the sun a fire energy whereas supernovas and black hole have all types of energy - black holes have a magnetic energy also.
LA.: That is quite a difference both in energy and in physics.
Russell: Very much so. It is an interesting area to explore and so are energy signatures and wavelengths here on Earth. How they relate to the energy needs of us.
LA.: It is so good to have you in the VC as an active member Russell - you really being a different side to elemental energy. So cool.
Russell: Thanks.
LA.: So I wonder where do you see yourself in this organization in the next few years?
Russell: Becoming more active.
LA.: Very cool - I wish most felt the same as you.
Russell: And of course helping, assisting and supporting other both old and new. I feel the new people need more education it can be a trying time.
LA.: Well this has been quite enjoyable - anything else you would like to add for the VC Magazine readers?
Russell: nothing I can think of. Thanks
LA.: Well then thank you for joining me and I hope you continue to offer your time and talents as you do.
Russell: And I thank you too. I will very much so
