The Darkwards Commandments

So, you want to know how to be more darkwards? You're in the right place! The definition of darkwards is: towards darkness. Just like upwards or downwards, but here it's darkwards! We pronounce it "dark woods".


Read this carefully!

#1: Go out to dark places at night

Nature reserves and forests are fantastic places to go to immerse yourself in the emptiness of the dead of night. Graveyards are a good choice too. You can embrace the magic moonlight, or the sea of stars on a dark moonless clear night. If you're new to venturing out at night, start with familiar places and go when the full moon is out.

#2: Apps in DARK mode

The phantom of darkness absolutely does not like using phone apps and websites in light mode. Any new app, the dark setting is the first thing to search for. Get that dark mode turned on!

#3: Wear black

Monthly full moon rituals in the woods at night are always done wearing black from head to toe. The more you cover yourself in black, the more darkwards you are. If you're wearing white, it better be on April 1st!

#4: Listen to dark music

Good genres include dark ambient, darkwave, black metal among others. You may listen to anything or nothing, but no darkwards aura points are gained while you sing and dance to Barbie Girl!

Here is a list of great bands:

Darkspace, Darkseed, Darkcell, Dark Tranquility, Dark Oath, Dark Funeral, Dark Fortress, Darkest Horizon, Dark the Suns, Spell of Dark, Dark Forest, Black Forest, Black Therapy, Nightcreepers, Nightland, Nightwish, Beast in Black, Twilight Force, Midnight Eternal, Midnight Odyssey, Midnight Realm, Moonlight Sorcery, Sunless Rise, Swallow the Sun, Obsidian Gate, Starforger, Ghostheart Nebula, Nebula Orionis, Duskmourn, Nyktophobia, Insomnium, Woods of Desolation, Cryptic Wintermoon, Wintersun, Suotana, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Evilfeast, Battle Dagorath, Dimmu Borgir

#5: Know the night sky

The night sky is arguably the most amazing thing that darkness has to offer, astronomy is a fascinating subject. Keep track of the lunar phase, learn the planets, constellations and other night-sky objects. If you go out campaigning against light pollution, you will become a darkwards hero! Light pollution doesn't just wash out the night sky, it is also an environmental disaster that's harmful to our health.

#6: Keep others in darkness

Darkness is not just in the woods, it's a way of life that surrounds and lives inside us. It's ultimately your choice how much of your life you share with others, but to stay dark and hidden is empowering and liberating in a world where knowledge is power.
