Question: Is the Vampire Church moving to a non-magical sanguine-only stance then?

The Vampire Church never has been and never will be an all sanguine organization. In fact quite the contrary, it fact we recognize that true sanguinary vampires, ones that can blood feed only and from no other source, are a rather rare lot. We know from experience that most vampires are capable of feeding from a variety of sources. They may have a primary feed, but also are capable of adaptive & eclectic feeding practices. This is true for all forms of vampirism, Psi, Sang, Elemental, Pranic, Negative feeders, etc.

As for the magicks portion of the question I answer this way. Magicks tends towards the pseudo religious end of things. While we have many practicing Pagans here (I myself am one) we also have many from every other faith as well. This is truly an international organization and with more that 1500 people just on the general e-list alone. We sometimes walk a fine line when it comes to accommodating all. Hence we tend to leave things that border on religious discussions by the wayside. That way the Vampire Church is a safe haven for all.

Discussions of "energy work" as a topic always have been and always will be welcome on this list. It is just when they delve too closely into the magicks end of things were we tend to pull back a bit. Energy discussions in regards to feeding, gathering and shielding are on going in fact.

Great question btw - and thanks for the feed back expressing your concerns.
