Category: Dark Metaphysics

There are very few frank and well reasoned discussions of the dark side of metaphysics. So I thought a class focused on the darker side of metaphysics might serve a valuable role.


What I classify as dark actually falls into what might be called the “shadowed” real of the already occult. This series on Dark Metaphysics is not for indulging anyone’s morbidity. Nor will I advocate the egotistical behaviour associated with many posers to the dark side. It may mirror for you your own path, and thus teach you more about your own way, and you may discover that it is your personal way.


What do you want to know about the dark side?


“The laws and descriptions which make up the literature of occultism can never be a substitute for experience. They indicate directions in which experiment may be made, and in many cases their validity may be known quite promptly to those who will pursue their indications with resolution and energy. They are not intended as a field for … speculation.” Hugh Shearman, An Approach to the Occult

    Among The Changed

    Have you heard of changelings? Very little. More in myth and far fetched programs. Perhaps we can offer more insight tonight. Much of old lore was an attempt to understand what was at the time unintelligible with common sense reason, usually mixed in with some intuition. So all myths do have some kernel of truth in them,…

    Spirit Mark

    Changelings are someone who differs immensely from their family due to cause and effect and various events that may have occurred? Well, this is perhaps the interesting part. It goes deeper than just being different. Nothing can change in a way that has no connection to reality itself. Every changeling of any kind doesn’t just…

    Native Environment

    Recent scientific research has established two important things that mystical/spiritual types already knew. The energy field around your brain is a functional part of your brain. They are even now working on ways to use that. I guess it would be better than their poisons. The second part is that other people are sensitive to…

  • Spiritual Power

    Spiritual Power

    There have always been two paths in every tradition. One that allows the seeker to bring spiritual power to the people, and another that calls the seeker away from the people. In the African tradition, there is the Houngan or Mambo. The wise man or woman who works with the loa to share both the…

  • Changeling And Guardian

    Changeling And Guardian

    Back to changelings… Another way of knowing a changeling is that they aren’t effected by energies in the same way. Laughter might physically hurt them. Churches or a large building that has cleared a lot of land may nauseate them. One possible example, I hate most adult laughter. It hurts like being splashed with really cold…

  • Dark Side Of Metaphysics

    Dark Side Of Metaphysics

    In the virtual world of Second Life and across the internet, you can find plenty of sources for the rainbows and unicorns style of metaphysics, and you can find almost as much that falls in the grey area, that being heavily sponsored by corporate interests. But there are very few frank and well reasoned discussions…

    World Between

    I would like to hear more about facing yourself, and I’m thinking about what I’ve read and heard about the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Bardo. They are sort of like theurgic necromancy, though there are non-theurgic types as well. Perhaps one of the most fearful aspects of the dark side is the…

  • Region Of Darkness

    Region Of Darkness

    The dark side is the realm of the dead or angry spirits? Actually, only connects to it. It is the realm of ghosts, and is actually the mirrored possibilities of the world made manifest. No potential can exist without becoming actualized. So for every positive way we feel called to, there is a part of…

  • Left Handed

    Left Handed

    On the subject of seduction, everyone experiences some pull from the dark. Every time something happens, “Save for the grace of God, there go I.” Light lovers worry too much about what is fair. They worry about it and fail to find it. They bury it even deeper in trying to defend it. Every time…

    Enlightened Self Interest

    I promise that this series on Dark Metaphysics is not for indulging anyone’s morbidity. Nor will I advocate the egotistical behaviour associated with many posers to the dark side. It may mirror for you your own path, and thus teach you more about your own way, and you may discover that it is your personal…

  • The Natives Of Dark

    The Natives Of Dark

    I still wonder why I find dark mirrors so hard to be near, but the dark itself I love. The mirror is a nexus, but it isn’t any more of an open door than your house door is. I used to play Bloody Mary but she never showed up. And she won’t ever. The things…

    Three Realms

    What do you think of when you think of fairies? Tinkerbell. Little tiny girls with wings, wands and faerie dust. The ones people want to see are cute and light. People report seeing fairies. What do they usually describe seeing? Orbs of light maybe like fireflies? Yes, basically orbs. Sometimes with somewhat human imagery, often…

  • Life Forms Beyond

    Life Forms Beyond

    There are life forms that live behind our world. They are living things but are not governed by the time-space parameters we are, and their relationship with our world is a sort of maintenance role. They have a profoundly symbiotic relationship to matter itself. They keep an eye on us? Custodial bots? On us and…

    Unseelie Fey

    What is science and what is exploitation? Much is exploitation. This is why we are having so much trouble now. There were many old pacts and taboos, treaties if you will, that have gone completely ignored even when things were more harmonious between us and our neighbours. This is and will have ramifications, but that’s…

  • Fey Creatures Of Earth

    Fey Creatures Of Earth

    Dark Fey are of middle earth. Are they symbiotic with the underworld and celestial realms? They don’t go to the underworld or celestial realms. They are ageless, but they do die. Their passing is just not a function of time. They aren’t enemies of the celestial or underworld either, but they are creatures of the…

  • Species Of Dark Fey

    Species Of Dark Fey

    Shall we discuss specific species of dark fey? It will help if you identify a dark place for me. They are otherwise too numerous for me to make an exhaustive catalogue. My laundry room. Ok, that works. Brownie. Also known as Kilmouli. They were not originally dark. They were called Brownie only because of what…

  • The Real

    The Real

    We all know the mundane world pretty well. With its loud noises and absent minded people, and the seedier parts of our communities. We also hear all about natural disasters and environmental hazards on an almost daily basis. It is a very popular topic with the news media. It gets ratings, I guess. You also…

  • Psychic Sensitivity

    Psychic Sensitivity

    We perceive (if only on a subconscious level) the thought bodies or psychic presences of other human beings in our environment. This is why we feel it when we are being stared at or can feel like a room is loud when occupied by a group of people who are all being quiet. We have…
