Circle Of The Crone
"We don't worship the same gods, you and I, but we're more alike than you think.
Together, we are keeping something alive - something that has lived for thousands of years despite the wavering faith of mortal men.
The old gods are not dead. They live within us.
We give them life, warm blood, and they keep us from death.
That's our covenant, our promise. Everything else is fashion."

From the opening story featuring my favorite signature character, Trey "Loki" Fischer, through every tier and facet - The Circle of the Crone was an extremely fascinating social club for vampires to belong to.
Superficially, it could be mistaken for half-baked wicca or man-bashing feminism but it's more about vampires embracing the dark miracle they are and accepting how they are not freaks of nature but still a a key part of it.
Given how exploitative and isolated Vampire: the Requiem is as a setting, reading this faction was almost uplifting for its sense of community, acceptance and unwillingness to write themselves off as monsters who shouldn't exist. Although by no means humane in their outlooks, it was an enthralling option for society in it's emphasis existentialism over screwing with humanity or obsessive political scheming and power-plays.
