Most Dark Witches work with a darker aspect of the Goddess, the dark mother and/or
crone, and Dark God. Some examples of this darker deity would be Hecate, Kali,
Persephone, Shiva, and Cernonnos. A Dark Witch will learn and understand the Dark
Goddess. The Dark Witch also understands the responsibility of working with the Dark
Goddess. Dark Goddesses are naked truth, harsh, stern, unrelenting, strong, and severe.
They are not to be taken lightly. A witch who serves a Dark Goddess must serve with
complete love and uncompromising devotion.
Dark Goddesses typically represent death, destruction, chaos, severity, truth, love,
mystery, the void, endings, fear, and such. While many would see these as undesirable
things, or even as the subjective term "evil". A Dark Witch realizes and understands that
these things are natural and necessary to the order and balance of the universe. With out
death, things can not be reborn. With out pain, we cannot know and understand
happiness. With out fear, we can not know security. So in essence the Dark Goddesses
do the dirty work that many choose not to see, but enjoy the benefits from. The Dark
Goddess and all things associated with her are part of the whole, the opposite end of the
spectrum, yet necessary none the less.
These are but a few things that represent a Dark Witch. Above all, the dark witch seeks
to learn the truth, understand the mysteries, gain wisdom, and truly know themselves.
A dark witch must..
Be silent
Know thyself
Accept responsibility
Observe the sabbats and esbats
Gain wisdom
Seek the mysteries

Ogham Divination
You don't need a walk in the forest to reflect upon the mystical nature of
trees. Turning a city corner and finding a shady oasis of older, tall trees has
an immediate effect of the spirit. But walking in the woods does help make
a closer connection to the unique energy of trees, which
is recognized by many traditions as being different from that of other plants. Perhaps no
culture has appreciated trees more deeply than the Celts, who saw trees as the doorway
between practical reality and the spirit world. The Ogham (pronounced OH-um) is an
ancient Celtic alphabet based o­n trees native to Ireland. These symbols can be used for
divination. Wooden sticks known as fidh, each carved with a symbol representing a
specific tree, are cast
