John J. Coughlin
What is it about darkness that fascinates us? Some fear it while others seek it. Its imagery awakens something within us that we cannot name.
This book is actually two books in one. The first section explores the various aspects and images of darkness and how darkness relates to our lives and spirituality. The second section explores the underlying principles of magick to help the practitioner understand the meaning behind the method.
John J. Coughlin, also known by his Internet persona, Dark Wyccan, has been involved in the craft for over 16 years. In that time he has worked with several groves and covens, although he primarily prefers to walk a solitary, eclectic path.
Also associated with the Gothic scene, John has incorporated his personal aesthetics and ideals into his spirituality giving him an often unique perspective on Wicca and Paganism in general.
Currently, John is Editor of the NYC Pagan Resource Guide and has created many other web-based projects for both Pagans and Goths on waningmoon.com such as the Pagan Personals, Gothic Personals, Corporate Goth, and Gothic Guide to Nail Care.
