Life of the Imperfect Pagan: Going to the "Dark Side"

Learning about the "darker" side of witchcraft is important and these are a few steps I am taking in order to to this.

I agree with you completely!

"Theres a skull on the effing book...Bitch!" lmfao, I love you.

More: It is also important to remember that dark isn't evil, I love that you mention that and that those authors talk about that a lot, also that living and the dead, how we walk the paths of both, is really important. Witches, traditionally are shamans who connect with the plant and the spirits. Also, if you want a great book to read and your down for "true-to-the-roots" paganism, dark and light, the book "Old world Witchcraft: Ancient ways for modern days" by Raven Grimassi is a great book:)

I love those of us who aren't afraid to explore all sides of the craft, dark and light, realizing that magick and the craft in general are dual sided. It figures that Wiccans want to make a deal out of it, their all fluffy bunny. Raven Digitalis is amazing, I own all three of his books and they are so informational and beautiful. Blessed Be:)

The Shadow Magick Compendium is an awesome book. Really dedicate yourself to work with it as he suggests. Great Book. I love that book by Jade Sol Luna as well

This was a very enlightening video. I have an unfounded fear of Hekate so I have been interested in learning more about her so I can understand what she is about. Not just her but I want to understand the darker side so I can shed this fear cuz I not only hold a fear of Hekate but also other dark gods and goddesses like Set. I am definitely getting that Hekate book when I get a chance.

It is great that you found a counselor that you can connect with. I think that is very beneficial.

lol everybody wears skulls nowadays. it's the style especially for men...i used to have a jacket with skulls on it. they look cool.

Your counselor definitely must be on a similar path! How exciting! I imagine that the everyday person would think you'd lost your mind when you mention Goddess. Sounds like something that was meant to happen and that it could be a positive experience. Good luck!!! Blessed Be ~*~

Stereotypes are so horrible. When people hear "Dark" or "Shadow" automatically think of "evil". It is not. I try to call it "nocturnal" work or "Jungian" work, because Carl Jung talks a lot about "shadow" work. It tends to get more acceptance. People are uneducated and of course they are also afraid of the unknown. We (as witches) can either educate them or leave them to there "fluff bunny" ways :D
