Embracing Myself into Darkness
Embracing the Darkness is an in-depth look into the aspects of various dark subcultures of the Goths, Witchcraft, Satanists, BDSM/Fetishists, and Vampyres, incorporating interviews and conversations with well-known and everyday individuals, as well as taking a psychological and historical look at the similarities between these groups.
From the Knights Templar and Vlad Tepes, during the Gothic and Renaissance periods, to the modern day renewed interest in Vampires, from a variety of movies and television shows to the commercialization of Witchcraft; from the various stereotypes surrounding devil worship to the truth about true Satanism; this work delves into the darkness with a stark and unyielding offering of cold hard realities. Time has still not granted a favorable view on dark aspects of art, music, or religious paths. Many of these groups have been secretly whispered about and confused with one another.
This is the season of darkness and light. I am acutely aware of shorter days and earlier nights. With the winter solstice when I am overseas, I experience the shortest day of the year, the day with the least amount of sun and the most time of darkness. I hear people bemoan the fact that the sun sets so early in the evening. Darkness is judged to be bad, or at least as undesirable. But, I love Darkness.
I would like to focus a minute on a different attitude toward darkness. Rather than fighting the darkness and focusing on the negative aspects, I would like to work on embracing the darkness and seeing the positive side. More darkness gives me reason to slow down, to spend more time basking in the Darkness. Darkness can help me slow down, become more contemplative, less frantic.
Embrace the darkness and learn what it has to teach me. So, savor an evening walk in the dark with its stillness, or relax by the beach basking in the darkness before the day break. Let ’s strive to be at peace with the DARK nights as it is given to me. Let me live in the Darkness.
“Beyond the Walls of Sleep
Night has finally fallen and my soul craves
the darkest of shadows. I let my inhibitions
go as I become intoxicated with the night.
The Darkness gathers me in with its icy
embrace and we become one.Darkness you are my beloved, I am yours
completely. The Darkness whispers “You
are mine forever, never again will you desire
the Light of day”
“As I feel the Glorious Warmth of YOUR Blood flowing over me, I am filled with SENSATIONS that are foreign to me and have eluded me all my Life.
Never have I felt such PEACE and JOY as I do right now as I feel YOUR Blood flowing over me. All the GUILT, SHAME and REGRETS. All the CARES and WORRIES, ALL the TORMENTS and AGONIES of MY LIFE FADE AWAY into the SEA of FORGETFULNESS. For the first time in my live, my mind is at ease and my heart is at rest. The EMPTINESS that ate away at my heart and soul like a cancer is gone.”
