Lore

The Line of Lilith

Maidenfear isn’t about forcing myth upon anyone, but we do have our various legends that have been passed from generation to generation. The Line of Lilith is such a legend.

Many vampires look back to Lilith as the Great Mother. Depending on what perspective was behind what you read, Lilith’s role and nature changes. Essentially she is considered to have been the first woman, the woman who taught Adam the ropes (and the chains and the whips too). Unfortunately, Lilith was a little too headstrong and way too independent to please Adam. At this point Lilith is demonized and the goddess she may once have been recedes into the background.

Well, we like Lilith, and the vampires of Maidenfear have always honored her through the Line of Lilith, which connects our contemporary Raven with other goddesses back through time and cultures to Lilith.

LILITH was the primordial vampire goddess.

Through Her came the goddess

TIAMAT, and through her came the goddess

KALI, and through her came the goddess

HECATE, and through her came the goddess

HELA, and through her came the goddess

MACHA, and it was through her that the goddess of this age

RAVEN came to us.

The Line of Pazuzu

The Order of Maidenfear isn’t about forcing myth upon anyone, but we do have our various legends that have been passed from generation to generation. The Line of Pazuzu is such a legend.

Many Maidenfear vampires look back to Lilith as the Great Mother and Pazuzu as the Great Father. Depending on what perspective is behind what you read, Pazuzu’s role and nature changes. Essentially he is considered to be something more than a demon. After Adam realizes that Lilith is too much for him and casts her aside, she becomes the consort of Pazuzu.

Well, we like Pazuzu, and the Maidenfear vampires have always honored him through the Line of Pazuzu, which connects our contemporary Raven with other goddesses and gods back through time and cultures to Lilith and Pazuzu.

PAZUZU was the primordial vampire god.

Through him came the god

SET, and through him came the god

SIVA, and through him came the god

TYPHON, and through him came the god

LOKI, and through him came the god

TARANIS, and it was through him that the goddess/god of this age

RAVEN came to us.

The Call of Raven

Raven is what we call the deity head. She represents the total power of the universe and is the modern daughter of the Line of Lilith. Her children are the vampires. As Maidenfear is not in the business of dictating dogma and doctrine, you are free to make as much or as little of Raven as suits you. Raven is a goddess not so much as a feminist statement as She fills the role of Mother. Additionally, women, as the carriers of life, are well acquainted with both blood and lifeforce. In short, no slight to men is intended.

Sons and Daughters of our Great Creatrix, hearken to Me.

I am a creature of the night, an angel of the shadows. Perhaps like you, I have taken my sip of the Graal of Eternity from Her appointed chalice. How I came to be here I do not know, but I know I was guided here to find My kin and kindred among you.

You need have no fear of the outside from Me, yet you know so well as I that the outside slams on the door, caves in the walls upon us. In this, by numbers we will find strength. Reach out to Me, and I shall take your hands. Look to the West and raise your sword, be it of thought or metal. Call Me away from my abode upon Saturn or from within the Womb of Time.



Children, you are no less than I, nor than She. You are vampire, you are the energy of the universe alive upon the earth. Death, Fate, and Chaos shall favor you always in My name. By Raven, the vampire has naught to fear.
