Picture a cross. Now label the top and bottom arms Good and Evil, respectively. Label the left and right arms Light and Dark, respectively. The four arms of that cross are the X and Y axis of a Cartesian coordinate graph. Every single one of us is a point somewhere on that graph. Starting to get the idea?

I actually do recommend Konstantinos' two books on the subject, "Nocturnal Witchcraft" and "Gothic Grimoire". I just got up, so I'm not being terribly detailed.. maybe I'll post something more coherent later. :)

i know there are books about the subject...
but i'm looking for cash free information for the moment...

In that case, I'd suggest a Google search. Look for the keywords "Dark Paganism," or something simliar.

Boy, I'll tell you one thing *laughs* I'm getting really sick of seeing the *SAME* article on every single site/page I look at on Dark Paganism lol. I'm still looking for more info, but right now it looks like if you want any more than this one article, you'll have to get the book.

the Article:

This site looks to be at least a bit informative:

I'll keep looking though.

Yep, there's a thread or two on the books (probably in the Books forum).

As for "free info", as PB pointed out, google it. There's bound to be a lot out there.

There's a forum on Delphi (maybe two) and a related website for their interpretation of dark paganism but the name escapes me at the moment. I'll see if I can find it.

Free information on the Nocturnal path... well heck, if that's all you want, its easy enough. Just go outside. At night. Preferably on a Dark Moon, which is in a week or so I do believe. If you've got woods nearby, great: run through them. If not, do it anyway. Find an open field and crawl through it. Find a place where you can curl up, where no one can see you -- nor you them -- and stare up at the sky a while, at the stars -- assuming they're visible. If they aren't, do it anyway. Ever tree, bush, shrub, flower you pass by deserves a caress from your hand. Whisper into the shadows and listen hard for their answer. Stare off into the darkest of space and see what forms before your eyes there.

Its about finding your connection to a current of energy as ancient as our world itself. The energy that flows in the night, in the shadows and the chill, under the watchful eye of the Moon, whether she be coy or vibrant. So, if you really want to know all about it, get out there and live it. Sing in the chorus of nightowls, wolves, and crickets.

I just happened to walk by my calendar -- bedecked with wolfies, mais oui -- and saw that the next Dark Moon appears be on the morning of May 1st. So its a Dark Moon Beltane this year, hm. :)

**Smiles** I'm a fan of exploration as well, Erincelt - it's the best way to find information, in the long term. When you spend energy, or money, to learn something, you're more likely to remember it.

You get what you pay for--as much in magick as in anything else.
