PathWalkers.Net Interactive :: Helping you along your path
Once you name a demon, that demon loses power over you. However, until you do this
you are a slave to that demon and that requires much energy from you to support it. Once
you have overcome the demon you will have a surplus of power (energy) that was once
used to surpress thoughts, desires, guilt, and the demon itself. This energy can now be
used to make positive changes in your life, be directed toward magick, or used toward
learning. This whole process takes time to complete and time to reap the benefits from. It
can take months or years to overcome some demons and the path along the way can be
very painful, but the outcome is very powerful. One last benefit from this is that you
begin to know yourself better. You begin to understand why you do the things you do,
why you react to situations in a certain way, and how your feelings influence your
decisions. Knowing these things will allow you to be more specific in spell casting, know
what you truly want from the mystikal as well as the mundane, and help you make better
choices in your magickal work and life.
A Dark Witch realizes the utter importance and sacredness of death and destruction. For
example, with out death and destruction, things can not be reborn, and things become
stale. Dark witches do not see death and destruction as an ending point, but more of a
transition point, a journey. Much of dark witchcraft involves the end of the old and the
beginning of something new. Many dark witches are obsessed with unlocking the
mysteries of death and destruction, as well as the chaos that ensues around it.
Being that a dark witch has a thirst for unlocking and understanding mysteries, they are
always attracted to the mysteries, and things unseen. A dark witch is shrouded in mystery
and the reason for this is that to be able to understand the concepts of the mysterious, one
must become part of it.
As a dark witch must face and overcome their internal fears, they likewise become
attracted to those things feared by society, the taboo. A dark witch becomes fascinated by
the taboo, wanting to know what it is that people fear about different things. Also, being
that dark witchcraft in itself is taboo, like speaks to like. This means that a dark witch
feels a certain kinship with other things labeled taboo as well.
Working Widdershins. Much dark witch work involves the widdershins movement in
magick. Undoing what has been done, working from the inside to the outside, taking
things to an ending point, working with endings, and dispelling things. A dark witch
understands that widdershin movement is just as important as deosil movement, and
works with them both to obtain the desires that he or she wishes.
A dark witch understands the implications of the universal balance, also called Karma.
This is a bit different from the Wicca religion law of three however. A dark witch does
not acknowledge a law of three, but understands that the universe seeks balance. This
means that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The universe seeks balance
and when an imbalance has been made by someone, the universe will seek to balance
itself out by whatever means necessary. This causes a dark witch to consider their actions
before acting and accept the responsibility or payment due for their actions. Dark witches
do not see this as an inhibitor to doing what they wish to do, but more of an
acknowledgement of responsibility. Thus, when a dark witch performs baneful magick
they have accepted the responsibilities that come with it, instead of a sense of doom or
disaster that the Wicca Law of Three dictates.
