This is an attempt to create a base of knowledge for energy workers. These surveys are mostly for vampires, but there are sections for otherkin/therians  and energy workers too. Please help out by filling both surveys ^_^ .


* If you have yet to complete the VEWRS & AVEWRS research surveys please visit the link below, complete them ASAP, and return via e-mail! This is a VERY important *universal* study that requires a diversity of participants from the energetic/psi community and has been mentioned in several books, magazines, and on radio over the last year - do NOT miss out having your unique situation/experiences documented in this study!

http://www.suscitatio.com

Our next major presentation will be October 30th in Los Angeles, CA. If you are interested in attending this event please e-mail us at http://www.hexhollywood.com). We'd like to have as many surveys completed by September 30th as possible to allow us time for ONE LAST data compilation from new entries. We do NOT anticipate accepting surveys past the month of September. We have extended the deadline numerous times based upon presentations and emerging pockets of participants in the community - we have satisfied all our needed criteria for sample size and diversity and are allowing surveys to come into us now to give people the opportunity to participate. The energy worker community response alone over the last 6 months has increased from 7% to 12% to now nearly 20%!!! Remember that this study is applicable to everyone (even those who have experienced paranormal/PRE/ESP/OBE/etc. phenomena) - in that the data collected will be divided into multiple branch levels based on self-identity: Energy Workers, Vampires, and ALL others may and are ENCOURAGED to participate! At least take the time to complete the 1st survey to say you were able to play a role in this important study - each and every survey is important!

http://www.suscitatio.com

The surveys located at the web site below represent a landmark study into a variety of diverse though often linked subcultures. This study will aid us in being able to help dispel myths and misconceptions about the practices, beliefs, attitudes, and demographics of those who identify with the following:

* Energy Work (Psionics, Reiki, Healers, Psychics, etc.)
* Vampirism (Modern Sanguine & Psi or Psychic)
* Otherkin & Therians
* Magick Practitioners (Occultists, Wiccans, Pagans, Spiritualists, etc.)
* Awakened Individuals (Higher Consciousness, Shaman, Indigo, etc.)

http://www.suscitatio.com

(Surveys Are Located In The "Gray Box" For Download - Part 1 & Part 2 - Or Via Text Format Under Troubleshooting)

The VEWRS & AVEWRS are universally applicable to ALL of these groups at least in part (demographically, etc.) despite the name and some of the questions asked that may be "N/A" for your particular circumstance - data will be divided per each individual sub-group (ie: energy workers, vampires, otherkin, etc.). This is why we need as many individuals who identify with energy work, psionics, otherkin, magick, real vampirism (psi/sang), or who consider themselves awakened to complete these surveys as possible! Thus far we've received over 550+ responses on the VEWRS alone and another 225+ on the AVEWRS.

If You Have Yet To Complete The VEWRS & AVEWRS Surveys *PLEASE* Take The Time To Complete At Least The VEWRS (1st Survey) & Submit To Us ASAP! Please do not procrastinate... these surveys may at first glance appear lengthy but they go by quickly when you're completing them!

I received that email too yesterday. Also got a invite on myspace about it but I chose to leave the group. I personally don't like these surveys about us, and they make me feel bad and annoy me.

The reason is that these surveys make me feel like a test experiment, and mainly that I don't want to give information about us to the outside world, and don't want them to know too much. This is very likely something arranged with non-otherkins too, and I don't want to be a test experiment for them, or them to know about us too much.

They aren't really that great anyway. When I mentioned this on their myspace group, my comment got moderated for no reason (the reason I left the group actually). We don't need to be put in a shelf on a board so everyone watches into our experiences like into public art gallery. That would be kind of sad... just my opinion about it.

Anyway, if you want to take that survey, I wish everyone luck. I'd be curious to know what they ask, just out of curiosity.

Clarification:  These surveys were written exclusively by and for the vampire, energy worker, and otherkin community - no one else contributed nor is the raw statistical data (database) to be shared with outside sources.  Refer to the Atlanta Vampire Alliance for more information.  Additionally, the surveys are quantitative and qualitative non-experimental question based - ie: basic sociological NOT scientific study.

"When I mentioned this on their myspace group, my comment got moderated for no reason"

Your comment was moderated because you had at that time, and apparently still, have not read the FAQ or information regarding the surveys nor the content of the surveys themselves.  If you wish to debate the intellectual merits of the research you may by all means and we encourage you to do so, however, there are certain black and white attributes to these surveys (who, what, when, where, etc.) in your post that required us to clarify.  We respect your decision to not participate in this research, however, comments such as they are working with others on the outside and are treating people like test subjects, etc. will receive a response.

Just curious... did you register here just to judge my post? I mean.. you just make an account and fly straight to judge my post without making any others and say its irony everywhere. Are you from the staff who works on that site and got upset I'm judging it? If so, this makes it clear that my harmless comment on myspace was deleted because the people there are simply mean and can't take anyone taking against their surveys. I'm glad I know more about that place now if its true. Also, do you know me and why I dislike what I posted about? If not, don't come all the way here just to tell us it upset you. Now we should get back on topic I guess.

See post above.  Clarification to factual points only.  Opinions on the survey in the presence of familiarity with the subject matter are always welcome.  I apologize if in some manner I offended you.  Take care!
