"Path of the Darkworker" by Joshua Noah Elliott
"What surprises people is that they use Darkworker methods all the time, even if they think the left-hand path is something to be avoided. Ever cut someone off in traffic? Ever use a little attitude or intimidation to get a clerk or phone operator to do what you want? Ever cheated on anyone, ever? These are all little examples where you are, ultimately, at least playing hopscotch on the Darkworker Path, at least for a moment. Why? Because you’re putting yourself first.

"The Shining Cities: An Anthology of Pagan Science Fiction" edited by Rebecca Buchanan
