Tonya Kay,

You are most welcome! May we find each other in the Darkness at some point.

Grey Glamer,

I’m hoping that my older essay, “Evil is As Evil Does” can be ressurected from the pre-move RTV as it addresses a bit what you are mention here.

I will say that I would emphasize the “usually” in your statement. “Nice” is a social construct, and what you or I may find acceptable may very well be immoral for others or illegal for anyone. Similarly, there’s nothing wrong with things being dark and scary – fear is a very good and useful emotion…

In any case, thank you for some very kind words and for commenting!

Thank you for honoring the Dark! I have joined you in the blind walk.

I read the first part especially as references to Lilith, though as Edward noted, I suspect there’s a common archetype of the Dark Mother which we read through our own idiosyncratic paradigms.

This is one moving reminder of the endless struggle for self-realization, something which can seem especially difficult in these long winter nights, and for this I thank you.

So often we live in fear of our own desires, our innermost impulses. As someone who follows an (extremely) idiosyncratic take upon the Left Hand Path, I think it’s important we learn to listen to the dark, scary elements within ourselves – because when we do, we usually find they’re not so dark and scary, after all. They’re only scary when we ignore them, when we refuse to look upon temptation squarely, when we allow our complexes to twist tighter and tighter beyond all reason.

Just my two cents. May the Dark Mother, by whatever names we might call Her, smile upon us all.

Blessed Be!

Actually no, though I’ll admit that “dances on the bodies of Her lovers” might be a bit confusing. I have a great deal of respect for Kali, but this is a different Mother.

That said, if it speaks to you as Kali, run with it. I suspect that They’re at least cousins.

This has to be about Kali….
