How So?

Because, they don’t acknowledge the darkness within them and when the hard times hit - they crack.
If we never experience things in this life or acknowledge the ugly or dark side of ourselves, our bodies and mind can break mentally, emotionally, physically, and, yes spiritually.
If the ecosystem of our bodies is unbalanced - we are unbalanced.

I love and only acknowledge the darkness within and without, I am loathed by humans and beloved by the darkness, the darkness loves me…the darkness loves all of us

I don’t think it’s reasonable to call either Wiccans or any of the people above “goody two shoes”, so what are you talking about?

Darkness can only exist because of the light. It’s born of the shadows the light casts and is only an absense of energy. Don’t get too hung up on dark vs light, you need energy to work with, and “nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so”.

You know out of ALL of the different forms of magick…I keep thinking of energy work for some strange reason…call me a psychopath

Most definitely not a psychopath.
Energy is needed in most magical workings, as it allows us to move forward and gain perspective to level up to our next call of action.
If our energy is dormant and we never move, then we become antsy and may do something we regret.
We can also transfer that energy… though if you’re an empath, be careful.

Yes. I think they are inseperable. Everything is made of energy. Energy cannot created or destroyed, it only changes form. Magick is the art of changing energy so it manifests differently, that is all.
“Energy working” as a term tends to be applied to changing the energy of your or another persons energy body, but when you develop this and can feel and read your own energy, you start to feel how situations and the official and emotional and mental letters affect that energy, and Vice versa, and how its all connected. You use energy to do magick, ergo if you can understand and control your energy you can do magick better.
Don’t forget the mass energy equivalence equation. For phydical particles traveling at the speed of light, their energy is calculated easily from their rest mass times their velocity squared - and we can treat them interchageably as either particles or waves of energy.
That equation is a simplified version of the energy momentum equation for figuring out energy for objects not traveling that fast. Everything can be understood as complex systems of energy as waveforms interacting together. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

It’s kinda strange how I get these strange ideas and urges in magick…it’s almost like getting advice…but no one gave it to me…unintended, self-given advice…

Darkness is a shadow cast by the light illuminating an object. The interesting question is more along the lines of- if I am in the shadow, what object is casting the shadow? And what is the difference between the light itself, the object illuminated, the illuminated side, the darkened side of the object and the shadow? How do they interplay and relate?

I wish I could put my thoughts into words like this. Mine just come out in colors on a paint canvas, where I learn the lessons of energy, light and dark. 
Interesting feed.

when i was starting off as a baby magician, i scryed using the smoke of incense sticks, then moved to scrying via dark liquids. 8 years later i have myself a nice little scrying mirror and incense resin that produces thick smoke.
of course you can scry as a beginner; how else would you learn if tou don’t try?

It’s funny you mentioned that now…because I forgot that I asked that question but I really really want to scry using a scrying mirror
it’s available at your local pagan supplier usually. if you don’t have one in your area you can always look online; hell you can make one yourself using an old unused mirror and some black primer or acrylic paint.

Oh Well! I guess I’ll need to cast a money spell and ask my teacher if I can pay her to get one for me

You don’t need an expensive tool for mirror scrying. You can use a bowl of water as a mirror.
You can use any cheap picture frame. Just put black paper behind the glass.
I’ve even turned off and used my phone as a black mirror a couple of times.
If you get the hang of it, any reflective surface will do. It’s more about the trance state and your receptivity
