Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (266 words)
Darkness is the absence of light, but earlier in history it was sometimes viewed as a substance in its own right, and appears in this form in some fantasy literature.
In Western tradition, darkness is also associated with evil, evil entities (such as demons or Satan), and Hell or, especially in Egyptian mythology, the underworld.
The darkness was also an important part of gnostic religious systems; it was usually associated with evil.
