Impure spirits are called luces oscuras, or dark or negative lights. These<br />

spirits act as parasites to the light. Like black holes, they take and take, but<br />

never give back. Whereas spirits of light bring blessings and help lesser<br />

spirits evolve, spirits of darkness eat up blessings and work to draw higher<br />
