Gaja*(slang, Romany, Sanguinarium)

Originally a word used by the Gypsies or Romany to designate a person who does not follow their lifestyle, it was a derogatory term that meant "root-feet". Now it is used by OSV as a formal term for fashion vampire or someone who is in the vampire scene, portrays the archetype of a vampire but does not feed. Most real vampires will not associate with these liars and fools, as their presence is damaging to the community.

Gaunt (slang, NightPoe)

Aterm used on the website created by NightPoe that refers to physical ageless type vampires as a pun on the traditionally gaunt, thin and pale appearance. Other terms for the same are Ageless and Pales.

Gevanma (formal, House Eclipse)

The proper, formal or polite term for an Apprentice, or a newly Awakened vampire in a mentoring relationship with another vampire. Where as the term of Apprentice is general, Gevanma is used by House Eclipse members only. It is the Enochian word for "beginning". It is comparable to the OSV level of Bellah.

Gift, the: (general, Illuminatti)

Blood, lovingly given by a vessel or food in the Illuminatti system.

Gizyax Bloodfeud (formal, House Eclipse)

When two vampires, usually two who each are leaders and are well thought of in their respective or the general Community decide for any reason, from moral to political to religious not to get along, it can send shockwaves through the entire community and leave many people hurt psychologically, physically or financially. Because vampires tend to have strong personalities and legendary egos, we often argue or even develop deep rivalries or hatreds for one another for many reasons. Rather than make the foolish and unreasonable demand that we all get along like one big, lying, fake dysfunctional family, House Eclipse has advanced this term and standard of behavior for vampires who do not get along for whatever reason. This is essentially a gentleperson's agreement to disagree or whatever issues, but not to try to sweep others into the argument. Stemming from this is the agreement not to fight, harass, flame or argue online on message boards both take part in. Vampires in a G izyax BloodFeud also agree to avoid eachother in public places or if forced into the same area to cordially avoid one another with no harassing words, gestures or movements to disrupt the event or place for others present. Such vampires do not need to play at being friends and may make their feud known openly as much as they like and expound on the reasons therefore in private. The main purpose is to maintain peace on the Internet and in our Vmadea or Havens, while still allowing personal dislikes and arguments to exist.

Glyph: (formal, OSV)

The OSV term used to describe their set of rune-like symbols that have specific individual meanings to it's members. Many other groups have their own sets of glyphs, but prefer to call them other names, such as sigils.

Golden Circle*(formal, Illuminatti, Sanguinarium)

1. (Illuminatti)A word originally coined by this group to describe a group of donors and mundane allies a vampire coven or household holds sacred and protects. The people around a Coven or Household, which include Back Swans, vampires, lovers, etc. Members of a vampire's Golden Circle have a special relationship to the vampire. This usually includes a child or children and a partner.
2. (OSV and Sanguinarium) A sacred and protected group of donors dedicated to a particular group of vampires and looked after by a specific member of that group.

Grazing (slang, Sanguinarius, Sanguinarium)

This is a type of lifestyle, which is looked down upon by the rest of the vampire community in which a vampire randomly feeds upon unscreened donors typically picked up in nightclubs and Goth bars. Vampires who feed without discretion in this manner are suuposedly derogatorily referred to as Strega. This is of course inaccurate as a strega is a witch according to the correct definition. * See also Strega.

Grotto:* (formal, Sanguinarium)

A no longer used and outdated term for a local population of vampires in close geographic area, this usually refers to include all vampyres in a specific area, that according to the Sanguinarium includes the phonies and fake lifestyler and RPG wannabees that they call Gaja. They also use a more specific term, cabal, which is supposed to only refer to true vampires and the underground, non clubbing community.

Grounding and Centering: (general, psionics)

A term used by the pagan, magical, occultist, vampire and other communities to refer to the practice of stablizing oneself psychically through linking with the earth and ridding oneself of excess or nonuseful energy. This can be done on one's own or through a more grounded vampire, usually a Mradu in communities using the caste system. Many techniques for this exist, varying according to philosophy, religion or House and Order.
