I am often asked what I mean by “Dark Paganism” and usually have a different answer depending on the context of the question. In my book, Out of the Shadows: An Exploration of Dark Paganism and Magick, instead of defining it directly, I explore the various aspects of darkness and how it applies to Paganism and even spirituality in general. I did this intentionally, but the average visitor to darkpagan.com would probably appreciate a more direct and formal elaboration.

For nearly as long as there have been humans (and before,if you count the evidence of Neanderthal religiomagical activities..see Joseph Campbell’s description of the “cave-bear cult”..), humans have believed there are “unseen forces” at work, affecting, guiding, hindering, and otherwise interfering in human activities… Continue reading →

The preparation of the place involves assembling all the materials in the room where the rite is to be performed. The walls should be adorned with the drapery of whatever colour has been recommended in the Table of Correspondences, but if such extravagance is beyond your means a cloth of the correct shade covering the altar will be suffcient. The altar itself may consist of an ordinary table or chest, but it must be large enough to accomodate all the necessary ritual impliments. If you intend taking your magic seriosuly you will sooner or later have to construct a propor altar of your own or have one made to suit your individual requirements. Contemporary magicians seem to have a penchant for the cube-shaped altars painted black inside and white without, these colours representing the material and astral worlds. Such altars are a recent invention and their use is a matter of taste. Continue reading →

Although it is an extremely wore out topic, I believe that it is time for the rule of Christianity to discontinue. Continue reading →

This is an answer to Sinister’s article of late November, and as it is off my current BBS board into the older stuff, I thought I would post it here. It is a worthy topic that he raised, and it merits more consideration. I also put this under the heading of Pagan, but I was looking for Spirituality… hmm Continue reading →

Did you know that ‘bonfire’ comes from ‘bone fire’? The modern word evolved out of (and somehow transmogrified, as words usually do) the ritual Druids’ wicker men and other Pagan and Druidic human sacrifices. Remember that the next time Beltane comes around. Continue reading →

I’m usually a pretty open minded person, but one thing I dislike immensly are people who sit there and force ideas onto me, and refuse to even listen to my counterpoint. That, and people who pretend they’re witches.

Samhain is coming up; the veil between the spirit world and the “real” world begins to thin. The Day of the Dead approaches.

For most people, spirits (if they are thought of at all) are thought of on one special holiday per year and maybe on certain anniversaries. Those people who are in mourning can’t escape the memory of the beloved, of course, and that brings so much pain that it hurts to dwell on.

As just about every educated U.S. citizen know, in our country (supposedly) we have a constitutional seperation of church and state. This is common knowledge. We have the right to chose what religious beliefs to follow without threat of persicution by our government (We’re not even going to get into the controversies on this issue).

Sex Magick is one of the keys to a Magickal Way of Life. By diverting and directing manifest sexual energy, one can receive one’s desires in life. Sex Magick is one of the eight rays of Chaos Magick and Crowley admitted that unless one practices Sex Magick, they will never be an adept Magician.

There is a very active Sex Magick group at
