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

  • Web of Cause and Effect

    Web of Cause and Effect

    Today we are talking about fatalism, and yes, it was inevitable. 😛 There are questions of causality that come up in any magickal practice. Sort of the principle of damned if you do and damned if you don’t, and some think that any magickal practice flies in the face of these notions. Especially when it…

  • Essence of Real Magick

    Essence of Real Magick

    Why would anyone try to practice magick? To exert control over events, the same reason people pray. Yet the structure of the practice is different. It would seem that structure would be largely if not completely meaningless, yet we do relate to one differently than the other. Why is that? Structure makes it seem more…

  • One Force

    One Force

    Changing the future can affect the past? Indeed. Changing the future can change the past, because there are not two things to change, just one. The world is full of these crushing forces of probability, like huge glaciers sliding down a mountain side, but even the mass of these glaciers can change, even completely disappear.…

  • Free Your Will

    Free Your Will

    I need to back track a little bit. Let’s work with a magickal thought. Sleep brings change. Can everyone agree with that? Can you really die from lack of sleep? Yes. There is a rare genetic disorder that stops people from sleeping. They don’t live past their thirties. Is it because of the lack of…

  • Have Some Part

    Have Some Part

    In magick, everything and anything we would influence is seen as whole and thus holographic. If you would change it, you have to have some part of it, but any part is as good as any other part. They all have the same power. I need to be good and bad? Yes. Selectively good and…

  • Know Your Instrument

    Know Your Instrument

    We can only sing one song at a time. The purpose of practicing magick is to establish a resonance with a power in the world you would seek to master, and just as music follows a sliding scale, so do these forces. This is why they seem inevitable. They are all there, and everything will…

  • Harmonize

    Harmonize

    Now using my wife and I as an example of how two instruments could harmonize. She is order. It is what she is being forced to do/be. The force is beyond any one person, any single situation, and it is actually not separate from herself. Fighting it, she fights herself. Using it, only as she…

  • Owning ‘The Doer’

    Owning ‘The Doer’

    I see the need to get rich, but not the motivation. Be fruitful. Are other people trying to tell him how to get rich? No, but they are telling him how to be productive. He sees getting rich as the way to be free of the productivity shackle. Is this correct? Well, all the problems…

  • Owning ‘The Orderer’

    Owning ‘The Orderer’

    Now shall we discuss your order? What is it you feel called on to do so much? Forced to do. Put things away, sort things. Keep things, and you want to keep things, all things, people too. I did throw a lot of stuff away last weekend and suddenly started sobbing. So in your situation, you…

  • Owning ‘The Talker’

    Owning ‘The Talker’

    I take people’s ideas when I should be giving ideas. You take them and digest them. Yes, and though this is a part of my natural process, it isn’t the goal. It isn’t my goal. My goal is to affect change. I want to ask people to do things, but I don’t. I do mean…

  • Limited Points of View

    Limited Points of View

    What is deception? Intention to misinform. Intention to sway a choice to your own favour. A form of manipulation. It is perhaps one of the biggest crimes of the dark seeker. Why is that? They feel they can’t be upfront about things? Other’s feel they can’t be upfront about things. The rap sheet of a…

  • Imposed Point of View

    Imposed Point of View

    You don’t have a single will. We all want many things at any given time. You have a will to live, a will to exert influence, a will to create stability. The list goes on and on. How do we reconcile all these things we will to do? Keep them all in balance and in…

  • Descend to the Valleys

    Descend to the Valleys

    Just as the wise man ascends to the top of a mountain in the metaphor, there are those who descend to the valleys, walk along the waters of chaos. More commonly we call chaos, trouble. There is a reason they stay near trouble. Do we not all learn from others deceit? We do, and it…

  • Destructive Lie

    Destructive Lie

    We lie about our power. We do. We tell a horrible lie. We say that we are without power. This lie is really destructive. And to make others believe that they have no power is worse. Do you know why they do that? So we can control them. We make other people believe they have no…

  • We Need Story

    We Need Story

    It would be more useful to look for my lies. Truth could naturally surface then. Truth always naturally surfaces, because reality always remains real. We don’t have to do anything about that. This is why people fall into this apathy that has led to so much borderline psychotic behavior. They believe that all truth is subjective.…

  • Don’t Worry About Lies

    Don’t Worry About Lies

    Now shall we go to the very depths? The deceit of conflict, lies of malice. We encounter conflict no matter where we go. The “evil” liar knows their lies will not endure. They also know that they don’t have to last to have the impact they want. The aggressive liar moves into other people’s mental…

  • Make Things Up

    Make Things Up

    My purpose in describing deceit today was this, to show you where to find the lies. They aren’t everywhere, like shadows they have their own way about them. I just rock back and forth, brushing my hair and telling myself I am pretty. Excellent, and I will lead you with a mirror into a quiet…

  • Immigration Between Planes

    Immigration Between Planes

    The topic is exorcism. I won’t be focusing on the practices of any particular faith, but rather the principles that run all throughout world cultures and lore regarding exorcism and the circumstances around it. The practice of exorcism, in most cultures, assumes the native presence of spirits in the world itself. Whether these spirits are…
