After more than 20 years of study, researching, soul-searching, and training Vampires far away from the prying eyes of society, we now emerge from the mysts of solitude. The Ordo Dracul is back to the light in response to an awakening thunder we have sensed and felt of so many who seek their own paths to awakening. The Vampire Awakening is a manual to describe to every seeking Vampiric Soul the levels of awareness that lead to the gateway of immortality. Throughout history, the legend and the mystique of the Vampire endures. Why? This is due in no small part to the power of the archetype in the minds of humankind. It is the spirit that is the Vampire and the emergent force that its presence continues to paint within modern day Vampire culture.
