I am a Vampire. I worship my ego and I worship my life, for I am the only God that is. I am proud that I am a predatory animal and I honor my animal instincts. I exalt my rational mind and hold no belief that is in defiance of reason. I recognize the difference between the worlds of truth and fantasy. I acknowledge the fact that survival is the highest law. I acknowledge the Powers of Darkness to be hidden natural laws
through which I work my magic. I know that my beliefs in Ritual are fantasy but the magic is real,
and I respect and acknowledge the results of my magic. I realize there is no heaven as there is no hell,
and I view death as the destroyer of life. Therefore I will make the most of life here and now. Bow down before me. This is the practical side of the Temple and includes achieving and maintaining success with regard to six critical issues in life:
Physical immortality. Emergency survival. Self-understanding. Communication skills. Personal finance. (All information and more can be found on the TOV website listed below)
