The Vampire and his emissary, Kundry, are the being of the shadow, not just any shadow, but the Aspirant’s shadow.

The A∴A∴ is certainly not, neither will ever be a Thelemic order, but a pan-æonic, all-pervading, omnipresent. Like cosmic void, in which there is neither morning nor dusk, its spreading is not framed by the loom of time nor space. Moreover, its movement is always as its nature is everywhere.
