About Us
The Nightkind Conclave
Constructed from the reclaimed materials of our former Coven, the Nightkind Conclave exists within the Manor home that holds within it our spaces, our offices, our projects, and our efforts together.
Lady of the Manor: Madame Jessica O’Mallie-Corvidae
Keeper of the Haven: Morpheus Corvinae
Historian: Magistra V.S. Nightborn-Corvinae
Conclave Overview
The Nightkind Conclave is a group put together by and for empowered Vampyres, and like minded Nightkind. We are real vampyres, practitioners of vampyric witchcraft, and responsible yet unfettering purveyors of vampiric lifestyle. We are down to Earth, pragmatic, passionate learners and researchers. Yet, we are unafraid to immerse in the decadent splendors of a lifestyle that not only compliments, but accentuates our Vampyric nature.
There is no requirement to become an initiated resident of the Manor to utilize the public side of our website.
Our Mission
The Nightkind Conclave is dedicated to cultivating a safe and dynamic atmosphere to explore real vampyrism. We focus on practical vampyric expression, vampyre energy work & witchcraft, and responsible & risk aware vampyric indulgence. We are also fostering safe spaces to explore vampyre culture, VC history, and VC sociology.
The Nightkind Conclave exists to foster a spirited community and support network for responsible and discerning vampyric individuals and nightside organizations. This site is our gift to the community, a safe exploration space for the practical real vampyre who shares the same kind of goals, beliefs, and values that we do. Away from both the social stigma placed upon us by outsiders and the unhinged bullshit we face from within the walls of our own communities.
Our Vision
We seek to both support the greater community by hosting a library of public resources for anyone to read, but also lay the foundations for a useful flexible set of skills that can meet both the practical and esoteric needs of a spiritual vampyre. As experienced members of the Vampyre Community, we see how much of the functional structure of the community that once existed has been lost due to the rapid fluctuation of community dynamics and the evolution of technology. We recognize the importance of sharing diverse tool sets for vampyres to use and build off of. Through a mixture of our own original beliefs alongside adaptations of existing vampyric and pagan systems, we introduce our approach to you to help you build your own skills tool set to help you flourish as a vampyre witch.
The Nightkind Conclave’s Statement of Purpose

- Project ourselves as a public beacon to help estranged Vampyres find their way to a respectable community.
- Teach Vampyric tradition and technique to help grounded & practical vampyres exude vampyric excellence.

Our Ideals
Our Philosophy
The Nightkind Conclave’s Philosophy starts with our Covenant. The Covenant of the Conclave is a Pact that we expect all of our members and guests to uphold in our midst.
The Pact includes: “We swear to inspire courage, wisdom, integrity, comradery, and evolution amongst our Manor and the greater vampyre community through our word and deed.”
Our official members are held to this Covenant to the highest regard. If you’d like to be regarded as an official member of the Conclave, please read The Vampyre Coven’s Covenant here.
The Nightkind Conclave is fundamentally a place for Pagan Nightkind, Vampyres, Therian, and Otherkin who are also responsible and mature practitioners of magick and/or witchcraft.
At our core, we are a group of vampyres who came together because we wanted a higher quality experience for those of us who are able to traverse occult currents yet remain in touch with reality.
As an organization, we are a group whose membership is predicated on expectations of involvement, effort, and immersion in our programming as we fully understand it is up to all of us to cultivate a thriving community experience for everyone.
The Nightkind Conclave offers a series of events, classes & trainings that include exercises of meditation, ritual, energy work, enhanced feedings, strong wards, and other technique & study for the purpose of enhancing and informing your natural abilities. We provide the learning opportunities, but there is no replacement for practice. “You have to do the work” isn’t gatekeeping, it’s reality. What you put into your work with us is what you’ll get out of it.
Where you see evil, speak out against it
and bring your enemies no peace
– Hávamál 127
Despite not being a Heathen organization, we stand by the message of Declaration 127
