The Black Swan

According to the Vampire Church lexicon a black swan is "A non-vampire lover or friend who does not feel the draw to become sanguine, but who is nevertheless favorably inclined towards vampires. They may or may not frequent vampire night clubs and usually understand the vampyre -fetish lifestyle."

My experience with black swans over the years has been numerous. I do not think of the term black swan as being a negative one. I have had personal relationships with these people. Some of my friends have a true interest in learning about the vampire lifestyle and culture. I have been there to try to educate them. I have turned them on to the vampire church website for a resource for them to gain knowledge. Black swans are our friends.

When you are a vampire and your lover is not, it can be difficult. I have educated mine on everything he wants know. I believe that a true relationship cannot hold secrets between each other. I am lucky that my lover accepts me for who I am. He is a black swan and I respect him for that.

A myth that some people believe is that you can be turned into a vampire. Well this is not true. I have had black swans ask me if this could be done. I think when a black swan is educated to the point of accepting that they will never be "turned" into a vampire than that is a sign that the people in the community are doing a good job. The Vampire Church is doing an excellent job in helping others.

I have had experience with meeting black swans at nightclubs. Some of these people that I have met I have become close to. I eventually identified myself as being a vampire. After that point they wanted to know everything about it. We would have informal gatherings and I would give them valuable resources to check out on the web. Besides the Vampire Church I directed them towards the Vampyre Society. The Vampire Church and Vampyre Society are two excellent organizations to gain knowledge.

I know that there are the few that are true vampires and there are many that are swans. I believe that vampires have a duty to educate others. Black swans are our best students. We want them to not think of us all as what Hollywood portray us. I will make it my mission to squash all myths and go forward to educate those who want to learn the truth.
