Well! This is a pretty simple one for me to answer. Darkness magic works on the principle that darkness, shadows, and the like are essentially living beings. even in unanimated objects the shadows are alive. Most of the time they are asleep because they don’t have anyone to converse with. If they are active then it is just a matter of either taking control or asking for help. depends on the situation.

Usually this kind of spell will be cast for your home or room so you’ll be using the darkness there. I usually tend to wait until the night with no lights on and then let myself just open up to the darkness. Connecting it to me and giving it a sudden jolt to stir it awake. even asleep it recognizes those it has been around for long periods of time, but that isn’t really necessary. It’s just simpler

the darkness in your home should be used to your presence and still be waking. You have to extend your will through it and begin a conversation. when awoken it will most likely give you some kind of sign. If you have good ‘spirit vision; for lack of a better term, you might see a representation. If you can’t it might use one of your other senses to interact with you. use candle light if you need a tool to interact with it. If you do try to leave more darkness in the room than light, but be safe with the damn fire of course. You need to introduce yourself, state your intention, and claim the area as your domain. If necessary wrestle it into submission. Once awake and claimed the darkness can be used as the barrier itself.  

I give it commands and tell it specifically what kind of system i want it to work on. one example was with the parasites. I said for it to not let any Parasites in, but only beings that i Know and trusted. That means most parasitic spirits would either be repelled or devoured except the ones that i knew and trusted. When ordering the command the darkness would connect with me and go through my mind to fully understand my orders and see who is allowed and not to go. it’ll even go far enough that beings you don’t remember, but have met might be allowed entrance.

Once awake expect to be in constant contact with the darkness if you are living with it. If it’s a one time thing, like you’re sleeping at a hotel on vacation i suggest using your own personal Darkness to make a barrier. pretty much same deal except you should probably have already awoken your darkness before hand and already claimed dominance...it kinda is your shadow.
