The Official Darkwards Code



The definition of darkwards is: towards darkness; to be truly devoted to the night and darkness. Just like upwards or downwards, but here it's darkwards, and we pronounce it "dark woods". If you want to know how to be darkwards, read carefully.


#1: Go to dark places at night

Nature reserves and forests are fantastic places to go to immerse yourself in the dead of night. Graveyards are a good choice too. You can enjoy the 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

If you are clever enough to know how to use an app, you should know that a true spirit of darkness absolutely does not like using mobile 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!

If you are using a social or messaging service to communicate with others and you wish to share some love to your recipient/s, it is only sincere if it matches the colour of your darkwards heart and soul.

Don't send a ❤️!
Send a 🖤!

#3: Wear black

The more you are covered in black, the more darkwards you are. Wearing black from head to toe is a way to truly immerse yourself in and embrace darkness. If you're wearing white, it better be on April 1st! Otherwise, all fellow spirits of darkness will still consider you an April Fool even if it's mid-September, and very undarkwards.

Here's a short darkwards poem: wearing white, or anything bright, in the woods at night, will not feel right.

#4: Listen to dark music

Good genres include dark ambient, darkwave, black metal among others. The choice is yours, 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, Astrophobos, 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 likely the most amazing thing darkness has to offer. Learn the planets, stars, constellations, galaxies etc, look up to the night sky and observe. The universe is a truly amazing creation and to observe it feels wonderful. Howling at the moon is optional. If you go out campaigning against light pollution, you'll become a darkwards hero. Light pollution doesn't even just wash out the night sky, it is also an environmental disaster that's harmful to wildlife and human health.

You must always keep track of the lunar cycle. Actually, I will say it's a major sin to forget the shape of the moon, the cosmos creation is amazing beyond imagination but hell-fire awaits those who commit the shocking act of "lunar negligence". All sins must have earthly consequences too? The sky will laugh as the stars glare at you like >1000 disapproving grandmothers, and the moon itself will find you and shine down laser beams of tutting and disappointment. Through ignorance and fear you shall repent, ignore sense, obey and never question.

#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 your choice how much of yourself you share, but to be dark and hidden is empowering and liberating in a society where knowledge is often misusable power.
