Welcome to a journey into the heart of one of humanity's most intriguing and enduring concepts: darkness. In this course, "Introducing Our Enemy - The Dark Side," we will peel back the layers of what it means to be in the shadow, both metaphorically and literally. As you embark on this exploration, you'll also gain a profound understanding of its counterpart, the Light.

What You'll Learn:

• The Dichotomy of Light and Darkness: We'll start by examining how light and darkness have been depicted in various cultures, from the Pythagorean Table of Opposites to religious texts like the Genesis creation narrative. We'll explore myths like the "War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness" and the Christian notions of heaven and hell, which continue the chthonic vs. celestial themes.

• Cultural Symbolism: Understand the role that white and black have played in Western culture as symbols of good and evil, purity and corruption, innocence and deceit. We'll look at how these colors are used in clothing, film, and even computer security (black hats vs. white hats).

• Magic and Mysticism: Dive into the realms of white and black magic, with a nod to Alice Bailey's "A Treatise on White Magic" and the concept of white witches. We'll discuss how these magical practices reflect our cultural understanding of light and darkness.

• Historical Context: Reflect on historical periods like the Dark Ages versus the Age of Enlightenment, and see how popular culture has captured this duality in titles ranging from "Heart of Darkness" to "Star Trek: Deep Space 9."

• Iconic Representations: Examine how darkness is portrayed in literature, film, and television, such as J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" with its "Dark Lord," Sauron.
