While Blackwood and Webb present different traditions of vampirism, the overlap around energy principles is undeniable.
Blackwood’s lineage traces to the Order of the Dragon Pool and Sigismund of Luxembourg. Webb’s, however, is aligned with the Scythian current as practiced in the Temple of Set—of which he’s a former high priest. His background in both fiction and the occult sciences brings depth and accessibility to this manual.
“The vampire archetype is not one of predator, but of self-master—the alchemist of energy in a distracted world.”
Not About Blood Magic
Let’s be clear—this isn’t about blood fetishism. As emphasized through the Scythian lens, blood is metaphor. The real commodity here is energy: how we gather, store, and wield it.
Webb reframes the vampire archetype not through gothic rituals, but through energy mastery in modern life—social media, influence, and unconscious psychic dynamics. The vampire becomes a model of energetic sovereignty and manipulation.
Breakdown of the Book
Part I, Vampire Theory and Practice, gives you the philosophical base—definitions of energy, magical practice, and the vampiric psyche through its stages of evolution. As a writer and teacher, Webb even traces the etymology of “vampyre” to early literature.
The text breaks down energetic processes not only metaphysically, but neurologically—linking vampiric magic to left/right brain function, pituitary regulation, and even the gut-brain axis. For critical thinkers and those seeking a bridge between magic and science, this section is gold.
Initiation and Advanced Rituals
The next section explores vampiric initiation through the lens of historical figures: Pascal Beverly Randolph (sex magic), Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, Stephen Flowers, and more. Webb doesn’t just mention them—he provides analytical breakdowns of their methods and then offers rituals to engage with those same frequencies.
His ritual work is not speculative—it’s field-tested, experiential, and practical. That grounded realism extends into advanced practices including applications to finance, relationships, and personal development.
The Vampire’s Library
There’s also a “nice-to-have” section—a FAQ, vampiric precepts, and a reading list for those walking the Scythian path. It’s practical, philosophical, and tactical all at once. For seekers ready to move beyond romantic myth and into magical application, this is the book.
Vampirism as Energy Work: Vampirism is not about blood; it’s a path of mastering life force, influence, and psychological alignment through energy work.
Energetics Meet Neuroscience: Webb links magical practice to the physical and neurological structures of the brain, grounding the mystical in the biological.
Initiatory Progression: Initiation is framed as personal resonance with powerful figures in occult history, helping practitioners anchor archetypes for transformation.
Energy as Currency: Just like money, energy is a currency you can gather, invest, waste, or weaponize—especially in the context of digital society.
Modern Application: This isn’t dusty grimoire material—it teaches how to apply ritual frameworks to relationships, business, and influence in a distracted world.
Self-Reflective Magic: Webb’s work invites a journaling, reflective approach—mapping your own psychological triggers and energetic patterns as keys to magic.
Occult as Empowerment, Not Escapism: True power comes from personal integration—not fantasy—but grounded work with your psyche, energy, and story.

Before proceeding, please acknowledge and accept our formal position. We do not accept the models proposed by various occult groups that portray angels or demons as abstract beings with agency or will of their own. Rather, we view them purely as representations of the practitioner’s individual psyche. We also regard the reasons for their changes over time and the similarities between cultures as evidence of a shared human unconscious, referred to by Jung as the collective unconscious.
This means it is not “the devil” that makes people do harmful things; people alone are responsible for their actions. When someone has an unhealthy relationship with these parts of the psyche, their experience can become distorted. They may require professional therapy and the guidance of a mental health professional; otherwise, they risk taking these powers of the unconscious to a dark place because those parts have been corrupted by misinformation, trauma, or both.
Our position is that each person is the ruler of their own kingdom/reality, and that spirit has no interest in human affairs and is not subject to an ego.
Accordingly, our interpretation of occult systems—from the Tree of Life and Tree of Death to the Goetia and Shem—is purely symbolic. We treat them through the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model as representational frameworks that illustrate splits within the human psyche, and we work with them in a manner similar to “duality therapy.”
Therefore, any person claiming that a spirit instructed them to do X or Y is expressing a cry for help and should be treated as such.
This is why this movement is clearly marked by the identifier “God Is Not Therapy.” We are not here to provide therapy, but to present a model of these forces and practices for the purpose of understanding, navigating, and working with one’s own unconscious. By proceeding, you acknowledge your responsibility to seek professional assistance if you are experiencing any of these issues before continuing with this work.
