Greetings from Sanguinarius!

Gahh! I am still trying to get the domain information problem I have
straightened out so that I can transfer sanguinarius.org to a new
domain host. With some help from a techie friend, I'm making some
progress, but it still may take some time. I hope it doesn't take
too much time, because I'm having to pay for an account at two
different domain hosts, which I really cannot afford to do. *sigh*

I'm seriously thinking of somehow totally redoing my site.

Included with last edition -----> "Once all the dust settles down, I
hope to determine some of the areas that I can use assistance with
and start seeking serious, committed volunteers who would be willing
to accept positions to help develop and maintain Sanguinarius.org."

he did with the blood taken during the last eleven years.

COMMUNITY NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The Coven Organization

The Coven Organization is making a comeback! The website is at
http://www.thecovenorganization.com/ Nitallica is in the process of
restoring the former website as she can as a tribute to the original
Coven Org. website. She has been able to collect most of the HTML
code and most of the images, and is trying to reach any original TCO
members to ask for help in retrieving archived images and missing
code. If you can help, please email her at
mailto:nitallica@...?subject=Missing_TCO_Pages

Also, she is looking for someone to build and/or host the new VITAE
engine, as she does not currently have CGI hosting, nor the original
scripts/code. If you can help, please email her at
mailto:nitallica@...?subject=TCO_Help

A few years back, The Coven Organization was _the_ major online
Vampire/Vampyre resource, catering to both real vampires as well as
those who are into living a vampiric lifestyle. Run by Rev. Raphael
Osiris, and originally located at http://www.thecoven.org/ , TCO
was "Dedicated to the prosperity and preservation of the Vampyre
community and culture". Rev. Osiris wrote this about the site:

"The Vampyre Coven is an international Vampire organization.
An Intranet for Vampires, this site focuses on building and
preserving the Vampyre community, lifestyle and culture. We
provide a place for all vampyres to meet and communicate.
This is an open forum for all things vampyric, vampirism as
an actual phenomenon and the medical, psychological, psychic,
and scientific, cultural or metaphysical explanations for it,
including fictional vampires and other ways that vampires have
had an effect on society and culture. We will try to accom-
modate everyone's needs. Whether you are a real life blood
drinker, feeder or fetishist, psychic vampire, Vampyre life-
styler, vampire occultist, vampire researcher, a fan of
vampire
fiction, folklore, myth and legend, confused, or yes, even a
role player, you will find something here for you."

Currently, the pages are from archived versions, and as such are old
and have many out of date links. But with your help, this work-in-
progress site can once again become one of the major vampiric
community and services providers.
