De-Mystifying Darkness


For millennia, Father Satan has stood as an adversarial role against a mainstream society that dares not break the status quo to question and pierce through the darkness long enough to find the truth. Thousands of years of brainwashing, coercion, fear, persecution, and intimidation have yielded a tamed society ignorant of the facts, still following an artificial light to their demise. It takes courage and conviction for the few who dare enter the darkness and reclaim their past and newly discovered understanding about their true origins, inner potential, and mind expansion into a world free of violence, fear, and negativity.


The reason for the adversity is not negativity or evil; in fact, it is the opposite. This adversity stems from a relentless fight and loving promise from Father Satan to reveal a better way of living to many of us. This blog aims to widen the viewpoint of darkness and uncover its many wonderful attributes and hidden knowledge. First, let’s define it. Darkness can mean many different things to a lot of people, cultures, and mindsets. From a metaphysical perspective, a Theistic Satanist defines darkness as a state of mind and being that allows for the highest manifestation of potential and clarity of vision. How is this possible?


Darkness gathers while light scatters


For many years, both eastern and western cultures and religions defined good and evil, dark and light, positive and negative, in a simple polar arrangement that was easy to understand and follow. As we awaken to new perspectives and scientific discoveries, we begin to see incredible nuances and hidden treasures once dismissed by fear and illogical rhetoric. From dark energy and matter to the mystical Satanic Void, Darkness holds an unparalleled infinite potential that can re-arrange matter and manifest itself in its external expression of reality and light.


Darkness manifests itself through various streams of consciousness. In humans, darkness expresses itself through the mind. In nature, darkness expresses itself through the elements. It holds and pulls in everything, even light. Nothing escapes darkness. It is the unseen scaffolding of the universe and our minds as well. Without darkness, we remain scattered and confused. Unfortunately, our current state of mind keeps us subdued, and fear continues and keeps us slaves to a mindset of guilt and intimidation.


From the Big Bang to creative imagination and magic, darkness is the birthplace of calm, rational, and thoughtful application of the mind towards its outward expression. But how does darkness represent clarity and focus? Darkness hides the truth already in place that anxiously waits for its discovery. Let me explain with a simple but powerful example.


Many years ago, I was a Master Scuba diver. I logged hundreds of dives both in cold temperate and warm tropical waters. From the mesmerizing and hypnotic swaying of thick kelp forests in California to colorful tropical reefs in the Caribbean, I experienced underwater life both in the day and nighttime conditions. Light scatters quickly through the water column during bright sunny days, washing out most of the colors. The result is a blue haze. Even shining a light onto a subject only reveals a few of the beautiful colors and structures.


Darkness reveals true colors and hidden structures at night. As night falls upon the waters, animal behaviors change, and evening becomes the canvas that shows all. The colors were always there, but they only needed the right background to reveal their hidden truth. There is no interference from scattering light.


The same happens with the mind. Our daily lives scatter and stretch our minds to attend to the many responsibilities and duties given or accepted. While light is only a component, darkness is the canvas that unveils the truth and reality of things. Understanding this interdependency and truth about this subject helps the Theistic Satanist embrace it in a healthy and forward-thinking way. Darkness provides the soul with a rare glimpse at the true beauty of our mind/body connection because the actual colors and energies do not originate from an external light source but instead from within our natural vibrational energy and infinite potential.


This point is essential to pause and think for a moment. As Theistic Satanists, we have a unique and incredible opportunity to explore within darkness our gnosis and creative potential laid out originally by Father Satan. Darkness is not evil or harmful; it is a state of mind of wonder, pleasure, attraction, fulfillment, calm, joy, and peace. It is silent, observant, and fertile. Darkness is a state of being that provides us with the simple and powerful perspective to view all of life and apply our learning within an infinite matrix of possibilities to improve our physical experience without neglecting other non-physical manifestations of life. The powers of Hell represented by the elements all have one common origin (you guessed it!): Darkness. Creation itself came out from the still waters of darkness and infinite potential.


I hope that Satanists better understand the incredible legacy that darkness brings as a source of strength, originality, creativity, stillness, and joy. I strongly encourage the Theistic Satanist to embrace darkness fully and allow its empty canvas to reveal the beautiful kaleidoscope and beauty within each one of us. I thank Father Satan, Sabnock, Mother Lilith, Azazel, and many other Deities who stepped in to provide their common perspectives. Lastly, I will share a direct quote I received from Father Satan regarding this subject:


“Darkness reveals the beauty within each one of you. Humanity allowed its distortion in meaning and execution by embracing a false external light that only scatters and dilutes your true nature as I first perfectly created you in my image. As above, so below.”
