Why I Love Darkness and The Left-Hand Path of Spirituality
Our Darkest Times Show Us Our Greatest Light
The Path of Darkness Is A Path Of Love
Confession Moment:
I sometimes feel hesitant about putting some videos out on Youtube that discuss darker spirit guides like Demons, Santa Muerte, or Lilth.
I know my energy and tone is soft and chill, but I had to walk the left hand path / the path of darkness in my life. Not because I wanted to but because I had to. Darkness is not something I chose but something that showed up for me. I am someone who always wanted to see the sweetness of life. But truth be told I haven’t had a lot of sweetness. Because I let the pain other people gave me inside my vessel. I was passive and allowed myself to be hurt by others. And I excused their behaviors because I felt for their own pain. I knew hurt people hurt people. So I focused on looking at the bright side of things. I ignored my own needs and put up with how others treated me.
Darkness then stepped in and said “you are not martyr and you are not responsible for the unhealed pains of others.” To me, Darkness is a caretaker who is both a Mother and a Father.
Darkness showed up as Kali Ma, Santa Muerte, Oya, Sekhmet, and Lilith who said “stand up for yourself!” And who also said, “yes this is hard, but I know difficult moments as well, and through my guidance, you will ascend through this.”
Darkness showed up as my demon Brothers - Lucifer, Paimon, Asmodeous, Belial, and Caym who said “stop fearing your own anger and wrath. Use it as a fuel to break through barriers, to stand up for yourself, and defend yourself when needed.”
Darkness showed up as the cradling hands of a mother who said, “you will fill the holes in your heart with fertilizer. Our love for you will be the light you always wanted. You will blossom in the brightest colors through the dark depths of your soul.”
Darkness is what made me able to live through great pain and become light and whole again. Before there was light, there was dark. In the womb, we were in darkness. A rose first is planted in darkness before rising toward the sun.
Darkness is a cocoon, a nest, a safe space to feel what needs to be felt. When you feel incomplete or stuck, darkness and the spirit guides who embody darkness will be there to nurture you and allow you to feel. When it is your time, you will come back to light now brighter than ever.
No matter what you have been through, know that you have all the power within you and the Divine Support from The Universe to heal and be reborn. You will surprise yourself with how much joy and hope still lives within you no matter the hardships you have faced. You, yourself, are truly light.
