Was it the left hand path when i was locked in my car for 5 years for a crime with no court record? Or when all my possessions were tossed out by housing? Or when my family stopped talking to me? Or when my reputation was ruined on false allegations? Or when I developed a disease from all the stress of occult abuse? I now walk my own path.

[@princeshepherd]

You are so dark and beautiful

[@paulsecrest9427]

​@@baronarcanus9111always walk your own path. Your truth matters in a world of lies.

[@fillyfresh]

Selfishness is an evil trait. The left hand path teaches a person to be selfish. That is Satanic/demonic. I disagree with your first point. Its not misconception.

[@satturnine7320]

🕯️A lot of people go through life confused about where they stand and always trying to fit in while not realizing they are already on their path

[@verbane]

Yep. That was me. Admittedly, the LHP can be quite lonely. But better lonely than to try and force yourself to fit in where you don’t belong.

[@Saprofane]

Yes and she is contributing evenmore to that confusion

[@CaXreLL]

Absolutely, and what’s more is the sad fact that a lot of people are under the influence of parental, authoritarian, or religious pressure and manipulation even threat of life at times to live, act and think a certain way that doesn’t ring true tk their true selves and therefore they can’t live freely, and never find true peace, success, self understanding, acceptance or happiness

[@valentinamatos5543]

thank you! 🌟🌌 for being able to gather the words. a lot of people think that if you dont identify with christianity you are a sick psycho or at least out of your mind. its a very depressing thing to experience, especially knowing that there are so many evil people hiding behind a righteous religious mask.

[@saintsparklebear1942]

I'm a Left Handed Path practitioner (Chaos shamanism) and former Christian minister. You highlighted one of the most foundational aspects of adopting the path, and that is the move away from traditional moral paradigms into a grey space between right and wrong where self-realization and liberation lie. As we follow the path, our sense of ethics and morals is transformed into something far richer and more nuanced. Your work is amazing! Keep it up!

[@HeathenDance]

There's no such thing as Universal "Right" and "Wrong." It's subjective and a matter of perspective. It's just another dogmatic and hipocritical illusion. Obviously, such concepts are always related to the stablished orders. Also, people tend to forget that there are other living species in the world. Of course if a tiger kills and eats BAMBI's MOTHER, from Bambi's point of view, the tiger is evil. But it's simply a tiger being a tiger. Fighting for its survival, and noble existence.

[@max_the_mantis5173]

We are a shadow magician who is no longer sure where we are anymore, we were in the Left for the last three years, and now we’re somewhere else and it is confusing. We were personally a Thiestic Satanist for the past year about, directly tied to a means of understanding and unpacking our ptsd, facing and overcoming our personal hell. But we our no longer in the service of the angel we were working with, they begged us to stop worshiping him we’re not entirely sure why, it’s still complicated, and now they are in our service instead, and we are equals since leaving hell, not below them. It’s confusing. Our you a fellow fan of angels? We love all angels, we find them really fascinating. We love all the angels.

[@yungdemonslayer888]

U cant be LHP and RHP at the same time. You either religious or you know ur power within. So stop trying to sound so smart when you contradict yourself

[@robertalvarado1821]

He said former ….duh

[@King.Sheshbazzar]

Bro doesn’t know what the word “former” means 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@bryangraham7926]

this was extremely important for me and my mental misconceptions to hear and I have been studying the occult for 50 years and I am very grateful to hear this, thankyou

[@citizentuck]

All misconceptions are mental

[@ramseydoon8277]

After 50 years on your path, do you have any experiences or insights or tidbits or stories that you would be kind enough to share with us?

[@bryangraham7926]

@@ramseydoon8277 none that i would like to share because it would be like cutting off my left leg to give to someone and a betrayal to the ones who have searched so hard that others have sold for money and treated it like dirt but you will receive what you want if you persist even something like immortality and i have always got what i wanted, seriously

[@7T2323]

The left hand is like A Woman, the vessel of Mystery, Independence, Assertive Sexuality, Wisdom, Creativity, Spiritual Practices, Isolation and Freedom. Even Lord Shiva has tried to challenge that by not abiding to his wife' request to not enter her quarters, as she was taking her time to nurture her feminine energy. The hidden, its intriguing and we tend to fill in the gaps of unknown with bad thoughts. Brilliant research. Thank you for your work.

[@ninetales6485]

Your Left Hand Path videos have been a Gods-send! May Òdhinn bless your academic works!

[@drangelapuca]

Glad you like them!

[@cupkelpie4656]

🌄The first time I heard the term "left-hand" it was used to describe witches who would do magic for exclusively selfish reasons with utter disregard for others. It was made out to be simply "evil". The way you describe it is far more appealing and sensible.

[@DottiethePsychic]

I've actually had to work through some of these misconceptions in finding my path. I had to really rethink my ideas of evil.

[@morigahn]

I am forever grateful for finding your channel

[@drangelapuca]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Amandadogmother]

🕯 I associated 'left hand path' with Dennis Wheatley and I always hear it in Christopher Lee's voice. I'm glad you've been able to rectify that 😊

[@mikenewton389]

🕯️thanks for an amazing knowledge. The left hand path reminds me a lot of Cognitive behavioural therapy, where you just trying to understand how your own mind works, thanks again 🤠

[@ThiagoGSilva]

Thanks for the references in the Description. I am trying to learn more about the principes of the Left Hand Path and Caos Magic. I am actually an atheist. And I have never actually believed in Magic as something supernatural, but I always believed that your personal relationship with the rituals might have influence over yourself, over the power of your intentions and how you decide to live and to follow on your own path. I was amazed to discover that the Left Hand Path in modern days represents something similar to the Idea I had in my heart abtou Magic even through I have never heard about this tradiction before. Your videos have been a great help. And I am thrilled to study a little more with your references. Keep up the good work!

[@poltergheist77]

Amazing video this will be very informative especially to those that are hesitant to walk the path due to religious trauma. thank you Angela.

[@cassie1728]

Thank you 🕯️I recently came across someone commenting on another’s practice and basically saying that this persons ethics and moral code made them unqualified for this path. I don’t agree with that. In fact on this path my own ethics & morals have led me to big rewards when it comes to self discipline, self discovery and overcoming challenges.

🕯️not really a Satanist myself, but I find it along with many beliefs that identify as left handed paths to be fascinating. I think you generally got the big picture of all the misconceptions on the left handed path.

[@majutsushisliceoflife]

Very enlightening Doctor Puca! I'd had some interest in some of the concepts from the Left Hand path, but with religion and media (pardon the pun) demonizing it, I was afraid to pursue looking into it. I'm aiming to construct my own personal style of eclectic magecraft, drawn from many sources, and knowing learning from Left Hand sources is ok will be a great help. 💥

[@verbane]

Your work is a light in the dark, Dr. Angela. 🕯 I needed to see this video today. I see that awareness & acceptance of the LHP is growing. But all the same, I’ve found it’s wise not to talk about it too freely. Certainly not around religious people, but atheists won’t necessarily be more tolerant. The use of Satan or Lucifer as a symbol is, after all, meant to shock.

[@abrahamcollier]

Comment for algorithm: These conceptions are indeed widely shared. Well played 👏

[@jl5442]

When in college I was helping to organize and recruit volunteers to host booths at our spiritual fair. The goal was for these volunteers to represent various religions or spiritual paths to help combat misconceptions and to encourage mutual love and understanding of our fellow humans, no matter their path. Ironically and sadly, the board for this event refused to allow me to invite any members of the Church of Satan. The professor with whom I coordinated supported my case that this group needed representation in the event just as much, if not more, than others. But alas even those claiming to be inclusive and open-minded were woefully ignorant and exclusive. Thank You! for providing such a wonderful source where people can go to be better informed.

[@NightmareRex6]

and ironicaly, dosent bible state both? saying to worship God as he demands it, but devil ALSO demands EXACT SAME THING!?! but the "the kingdom of God is within" also say sGod is within! so is it atualy saying take the middle "narrow" path but then the neither hot or cold i spit you out contradicts that, altho some secs belive th espid you out is atualy the master archon rather than prime ultimate creator

💥☀🌗🕯🕯🕯 Excellent as always...keeping the winning streak going strong, Dr.! 😉 I think you covered this topic very well indeed. While not directly concerned with the LHP, I can't tell you how many of my World Religions students wanted to do projects on LaVeyan Satanism, for example, but feared that by doing so that they might be damning themselves to Hell, and I had to convince them that merely finding information about something does not mean endorsement of it nor agreement with it, much less acceptance of it as one's own viewpoint or belief system. Some were assuaged in their fears by this reassurance; others changed topics to "safer" things...like Scientology (I wish I was joking, but I'm not!). 🤨 I wish that some people I know (including some family members who have refused to speak with me for several years and have not invited me to their weddings, etc., over literal mere mentions of these topics in conversation without any endorsement of them!) would watch these videos and understand them properly; however, they would probably be completely freaked out by your excellent presentation, and even any suggestion that they might benefit from understanding how their (erroneous!) assumptions might need to be revised. But, this is the world we live in, alas.

[@silvanus623]

For me personally and possibly others, i would say it was knowing that there does exist an actual group that does only want to cause disaster(even Crowley mentioned them in book 4)but there far more obscure then that and normally put the blame on other groups which causes chaos and death and seems to be very close to being repeated in united states.

[@RegnaSaturna]

🕯wasn't particularly brought up a christian, nor had i ever had any desire to be one, although attended catholic schools. But it is only now, at 53 that i can say i'm finally totally free of the very persistent God/devil concepts that apparantly sneeked in during childhood and unconsciously kept ruling. This enables me to leave all my little conceptions about the left hand path and satanism in the trashcan. Such a relief. You, beautiful lady, has helped a lot and i will support you if i can! Promise.

[@clockworkgnome]

Another important video 🕯️ My best friend, who is a Christian, thinks that I am mocking his faith (and my former faith) by being a non-LeVayan Atheistic Satanist. But it’s not and never has been an attempt to mock him or Christians.

[@Alienami]

Studying narcissism, sociopathathy, psychopathy...will explain why they think this. Narcissists always make it about themselves and how they are somehow the victim as the abuser.

[@clockworkgnome]

@@Alienami Honestly I don’t think that’s the problem. It’s more like the Christian myth of persecution especially in the modern day. With out going into too much detail the branch of Christianity we both come from is a _bit_ over zealous and proud. I did show him this video and the last LHP video Dr. Puca made to try to defuse the confusion. Edit: Which did somewhat

What I'd find to be especially of interest is the misconceptions you may find among LHP practitioners themselves, because even they wouldn't be immune to misrepresentating their own philosophy.

[@PiperEMcDermot]

I’ve only just come across your channel, this video - but I have been (on and off) following various left hand path “traditions” for many years. I sincerely look forward to watching more of your videos - your emphasis on genuine research and scholarship vs internet memes and misapprehension is a breath of fresh air. But I’d like to note the following - you mention media-and entertainment misrepresentation. Why then, does every channel that proposes to discuss the path present the exact same misconception in visual language? Every single KZbin presenter (mostly ladies) appears to be cut from the exact same media-moulded aesthetic that conflates any left hand path with satanism and befuddled young rebels against traditional values - dark setting (red and black usually) black hair, heavy black eye make up, often dark red lipstick and black nails. It’s literally as cookie cutter a look as an apple-pie advertisement from 1950’s USA. Before everyone gets their hair-trigger fingers ready - think about. It’s a genuine question. If the left hand path represents that self-actualisation and true personal sovereignty we believe it does - how we present ourselves is no one’s business…so WHY the blatant stereotype in the look? Why do we never see a KZbin presenter on this topic in suburban girl-next-door outfits and make-up? Or no heavy make up at all? Or looking like a soccer mum? Why is the stereotype - apparently unconsciously, but I question that - always perpetuated?

Thank you, Angela. Awesome exposition as always. And thank you for putting the references. As a bookworm, I love to search, read, and study about this topic, and your initiative facilitates my research. I'm gonna check the Nevill Drury's book. If you come from a Christian country and mention left-hand path people will think you summon demons and have a dungeon in your basement 😈 For those who like tantra I would recommend the book "A systematic course in the ancient tantric techniques of yoga and krya".
