Vampyre Heraldry
Most modern Vampyre Groups have their own symbols, crests or heraldry to represent them. Usually these are posted on a website or forum, and these days often on Facebook.
Known as a sigil, each one is a unique identifier for that Group or organization, in much the same way as businesses have a logo or a crest symbolizing the ethos of the Group, or what is important to its founders. The word sigil is used instead of crest, because it stems from use in the occult community, where sigils are used by Wiccan covens and similar groups.
In this section we present a selection of sigils of international Groups, as well as some from local Groups as examples (all rights and copyright remain with their creators).
Note: This displayed selection is by no means intended to represent the entirety of the number of groups in the VC, which is by far too large to represent here, but is simply a selection. Copyright for images displayed remains with their respective groups and/or creators.
