Of Progeny

“Thou shalt not make Progeny against My will, and if you are given leave, then choose of those Children of Adam well, think of them as your future Brother or Sister.
Look to the everlasting night ahead, and know Auriel’s Prophecy: that forever shall Childe rise up to slay Sire.

Know thou that, as in all things, the Father overcomes the Childe, the Mother her Daughter:

Only through Me will you come to Truth,
Only through Me will you come to Peace,
Only through Me will you come Awake to your Power.


Know thou that the right of life or death, as it was in My times, will ever be the Sire’s over the Childe’s, for it has been set in Heaven as well as in this world, the way of things. My Father, Adam, over me, I, over you, You, my Children, over all Progeny you get.

Thou shalt not suffer your Childe to live If it is found that he has killed one of your Brothers and has drunk his heart’s blood. This is the Serpent’s Way, and I will not abide it.

Thou shalt not Embrace those who are unworthy, Thou shalt not use the Embrace as punishment, Neither shall you Embrace the youngest, who should live long before being brought into My family, so that the wisdom of our line will grow.

Thou shalt not Embrace those who are diseased, insane, or full of ill humors, for they will taint the Blood.

Never shall there be more Kindred of Caine than Kindred of Seth in a place, neither should there be one of Caine for every three of Seth.

All Childer should learn from their Sire
The Law and the Traditions,
The Rites and the Customs,
as I have given them to you.

Thou shalt not Embrace the Moon-Beasts, for these should be outcast and called Abomination.
Neither should you taste of their blood, for they are forbidden, they bring Death to our door.

Embrace not the blood of the Enlightened, rather listen to their words, watch their actions, and move swiftly against them should they strike: a useful sword, but often too sharp.

Taste not the blood of the Wild Ones, for in it is Madness, neither should you Embrace them: for you will not survive it.

Embrace not Love, for Love in My Embrace will grow cold, wither, and die.
“
