[@Saturnarium]

As a seasoned practitioner of witchcraft, I agree with almost everything you said and I thank you for seeing both sides of the coin. I no longer cling to a label "right hand vs left hand". I have abandoned the need to transcend the ego - I find that making peace with the ego is the shortest path towards so called enlightenment and this has changed my approach to my practice. Nowadays, I only engage in magick that will bring me tangible results right here and right now, it is okay to please the ego. Having said that, my classification of "right vs left" is that the right path seeks transcendence through external power (gods, deities, etc) and the left path seeks transcendence through self power. In this way, many so called left hand practitioners are, in my view, right hand practitioners as they choose to connect with demons, goetia, etc (still external power, like gods or angles, all the same). My only rule is: I do not work with external entities, period, all power must come from within. Thank you for this beautiful discussion.

[@rodgar3759]

But if you only use your own power, don't you end up depleting yourself? As I see it, we are in fact and endless pool of energy, as long as we are connected with with some greater power. But just we as persons,although we can replenish, have a finite amount.

[@Saturnarium]

@@rodgar3759 Hi Rodgar! I find that the physical body is indeed finite and we have a limited amount of energy that we can harness from the body (even astral body if finite, imho). I do believe there is a source of endless power in the universe, but I don't necessarily see it as an external entity, I see it as "an algorithm" that we can "understand" and make use of. You crack that code, you have the power. Anyway, just my two cents. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and making me think about it!

[@rodgar3759]

@@Saturnarium thank you very much for your answer.

[@Saturnarium]

@Oh No Sponolios I do not consider the universe to be an entity, I think of it as a code or an algorithm but I respect your opinion. I have worked with goetia myself, but ultimately, the "deal" won't make you a living god if you are relying on their workings to achieve and manifest things. You become a living god when you no longer need any entity to work for you because you make things happen with your own. True magick arises from within, just my two cents anyway.... I wish you success in your endeavours!

[@NickRyanBayon]

The left and right hand paths while complimentary also have different roads. Many people believe the right hand path and left hand path lead to the same place but truly the only path that leads anywhere is the LHP it could be said the RHP goes around in circles chasing it's own tail, not that that is wrong just not for everyone i think. Some want to break cycles evolve and expand while others are more comfortable conforming or staying in the boundaries and limitations. One leads to merging then returning the other to breaking free and creating.

[@diewolfsfrau8938]

You gave a very good insight into the idea of the left hand path. For me the development of the self without any authority outside means to take full responsibility for your own deeds and your own system of values. You cannot put the blame on others or pray for help. You take care of your surrounding, the world around you, plants, animals, people and you interact directly with them for the joy of life, love and kindness. This reality is not a place to escape from to go to paradise or to dissolve your individuality to feel free. This reality wants us to experience it joyfully with all our sense here and now and be happy and free by doing so. In this way we feel so good and thankful that we do good things to others. And we do anything to serve this great universe around us.

This reminds me of the bushido code go rin no sho. Part of the Samurai teachings were to leave no stone unturned when learning. Learn about everything. To die with your sword still unsheathed was to lose face. In the end to know everything was to know nothing and to know nothing was to know everything. I translate this part as, the more I live the less I know therefore keep your cup empty and never stop learning or experiencing.

You should research the Church of Satan. Satanists are just humanists and conservationists and are concerned with freedom, equality and intellectual knowledge. Most of us are atheists and don’t believe in an actual “Devil” or “Satan” character. We uphold the symbol of the Devil as a challenger to toxic, dominating and enslaving religions...specifically Christianity. Using the Devil for a symbolic figure is just a jab to challenge Christianity and it abusive, degrading and oppressive values. It’s an attention-getting device.

[@nickgangadis8679]

I don't know much about witchcraft. It's not my "thing" maybe because I fall too often under the Goddess's spell to pay attention to what She's telling me (lol). However, I'm in accord to everything you say about the LHP. Especially the "selfish" part. LHP attempts to empower the True Self part of us, not the surface, personality self we form in our lifetime. So, it presupposes that the Self-enhancing progress is perennial, because our max 100-120 life span is a "blink of an eye" in terms of trying to achieve self-deification. Which means that we have to strive along many lives for something which is the most difficult task we can ever undertake, imo. Either through the Hinduist procedure of reincarnation or some other way of personal consciousness transference and enrichment.

[@marcrhodes-taylor5347]

you seem to be a lot better today and back on your usual form, good to see you again arith. one minor point, left hand path in modern witchcraft, there is a slight implication here that witchcraft may be connected with left hand magic inherently. i think that the truth may be slightly more complicated than that; magic can be used for both good and bad purposes, meaning that magic is more accurately described as grey rather than as right or left. witchcraft may be used for specific purposes according to the practitioner's inclinations which are not meant to follow any specific agenda either right or left. there is also the matter of magic having repercussions upon the caster, meaning that every magic should be aware of and responsible for their actions and the repercussions of their actions rather than simply existing within a void.

[@imashtalao2442]

Exquisite ear your words, thanks

[@darkrosesubliminals]

Well Said. The Right Path can def be just as selfish as the Left Path. Some folk can get very much wrapped up in their path, spirituality + spiritual ego + go on an extreme route sometimes when they're first starting out. As they mature + their knowledge develops they'll realize that the balance of all energies and directions helps ground them. They'll eventually reach their personal equilibrium or lean more towards a certain side.

[@DrFrankenskippy]

The modern 'left' path practitoners might be attracted via individualistic motivation although a common recurring 'leveling' force for such practitioners no doubt is coming across forces with greater 'Megin' than themselves exerting power over them given the self motivated entry pt into such systems of practice, whereas lineages of old would see teachers whether via family or esoteric collectives carefully mentor new practioners. The practice of Seidr and Myrk Galdr typically adhered to traditional (handed down) very lucid and succinct practices and rituals and hence were prepared for the potentially destructive intensity of psychic attack modern self motivated practioners might face.

[@williamcooper8024]

Ive found great success in my narrow (balanced) oft meandering (mindful of each moment) path, I recognize the divine can be perceived in all things as all things are from some perspective likely to be inherantly divine. I also know that sometimes I will go flying off the path into a tailspin so I try not to be too hard on my self, Her light has guided me through wrything darkness and cacophonous illumination, I find myself in each moment seeking gratitude for each lesson I learn, because who doesnt appreciate gratitude?

[@IAmValenwind]

to use D&D terms, i have always seen the right hand path as being "lawful" and the left hand path is "chaotic"... but RHP can be lawful good and use rules for the betterment of society, but it can also be lawful evil and use rules to abuse the community around them in their favor (and proclaim it is the right thing to do)... in contrast LHP can be chaotic good and say "fuck the law that says i can't feed the homeless, that guy is starving, i'm going to buy him dinner", or chaotic evil and kick puppies (and not care if it's the right thing to do or not). ...it is the RHP that says "if it is a sin or a crime to lie, then i will tell the truth when the nazis come for anne frank, and tell them where i've hidden her"... it is the LHP that values her life over the socio/religious laws that say lying is immoral. ...and i find such unwavering and thoughtless adherence to the law to be abhorrent to a civilized society. if a person cannot adapt, they will stagnate, and soon will be a relic of the past.

[@TormodiR]

LHP proper means heterodoxy opposed to orthodoxy. It has other names as well. For hermetica it is called Prisca theologia or perennial wisdom. LHP and being at the crossroads is the samething. The Micheal Aquino/Don Webb goons borrowed the vamachara term and went apeshit with it. The deification idea is also based in Hermetica particularly from Æsclepian Dialogues: “If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like. Leap clear of all that is corporeal, and make yourself grown to a like expanse with that greatness which is beyond all measure; rise above all time and become eternal; then you will apprehend God. Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every craft and science; find your home in the haunts of every living creature; make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths; bring together in yourself all opposites of quality, heat and cold, dryness and fluidity; think that you are everywhere at once, on land, at sea, in heaven; think that you are not yet begotten, that you are in the womb, that you are young, that you are old, that you have died, that you are in the world beyond the grave; grasp in your thought all of this at once, all times and places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes together; then you can apprehend God. But if you shut up your soul in your body, and abase yourself, and say “I know nothing, I can do nothing; I am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know not what I was, nor what I shall be,” then what have you to do with God?” This can he found in a connection between East and West at least since Empedokles donned purple robes with gold ropes and claimed “I am God” before leaping into a Volcano as they say.

The left hand path is counter productive in many many ways and usually is just a round about way to a personal breaking point that leads to a right hand path. The right hand path and left hand path are both usually left hand paths in essence. If you are working towards a goal of becoming better its left. Both just polar oscillations that lead away from the goal in the center. But that is what all of this new age stuff is. Playing in the imagination to avoid what's real.

Left hand path is also a expression used in asian religion to describe religious practices including magic and esoteric practices, also called tantra.

[@mrwebbofficial]

I often wondered why we have a tendency to think that helping the human community = “good” and helping yourself = “evil”. Personally I don’t think any of it is good or bad. But of course the community would say not helping the community is evil. Because the community won’t survive for very long if everyone was just helping themselves.

[@rodgar3759]

You could argue for very long what is the correct way. Some say that, by helping yourself and ensuring your own wellfare, you are helping, by extent, your community. OThers say you need to guarantee minimums or safe nets for the least lucky, cult or wealthy members of your community. I think all ways can work as long as the memebrs are not being selfish. If you help yourself by taking or restricting others, then thats bad

[@mrwebbofficial]

@@rodgar3759 I’d say that from a societal point of view it would be wrong to take from the other members of your society. However history has shown us(as well as modern times) that taking from people outside of your society is just fine if it benefits your own society. Animals act in that way too. So I’d say that the way of nature is to rape, pillage, kill and take from the other in order to benefit your own. But if we as individuals try to do that on our own then it is frowned upon by our particular society and is seen as evil. But if societies or tribes do it to other societies and tribes, then it’s fine. But nature don’t seem to care. It just takes as much as it gives. So I suppose if you want to live close to nature then take what you can, when you can, for as long as you can, until it is taken from you eventually... It is the Kali Yuga after all.

[@rodgar3759]

@@mrwebbofficial I'd say don't take from, or hurt, any other being capable of generating grudge. Nature does have a violent approach, that's true, but we, as beings capable of reasoning, can and should, respect other beings capable of that. Animals may understand when you kill one of their own, maybe they generated atachments even. But they won't hate you for that, or blame you. Many times they just carry on with their lives. Some animals do understand a bit more: crows are known for having an incredible intelect, holding grudges and goodwill towards some people. So then only feed from lesser animals and respect those capable of "understanding" That brings us to human. We understand almost everything, and not only that, we get sad, angry and nostalgic with loss. So if you know you are causing those feelings, why do it willingly? History has taught us that taking form anyone just brings more problems. It may be liked by members of your own society, but you are generating hate that WILL come back to bite you.

I am also aware of the fact that I wouldn’t change places with them for even a second and would fight and even kill to protect my loved ones to maintain what I have for as long as I have it. Even though I have personally done no violence nor harm directly to anyone, violence has been done in the past in order for my tribe to have what it has and will continue to do violence in the future to maintain it for as long as it can. And I am ok with that. I have seen my shadow and am aware of my potential to do terrible things if necessary. Even as I am also aware that everyone else is also capable of such the same. Either way I am unfortunately a product of my nature. And I accept it. Under peaceful circumstances I would do my best to live a nonviolent existence and outsource the violence to someone else. Like we currently do. But if we ever end up in another dark ages, I would succumb to my true animal nature just like everyone else. That is if I live past the first week of the shit hitting the fan. Which would probably be unlikely since I’m older now and have lived a quiet comfortable life my entire life. So it will be the young who have to bare that burden.

@@mrwebbofficial First time that I don't have a reply in an internet conversation hahaha. it's just weird to me that someone can come to terms with that, but at the same time it makes perfect sense too. Guess I'm more of an utopic mind. I guess I can only hope for a better future where we can escape from the "dog eat dog" system. Thank you so much for your sincerity and wisdom.

The best understanding I have heard given of what I do is the Indo-Timurid Lettrism of Ibn Turka. Geomancy IS perfect mathematical and computational physics. And as the Taliban say in the mountains of Afghanistan, you have watches, but we have time; I have time mapped. The Human Identity Matrix math problem indeed predicts "chimera" and I happen to remember all of the relevant details. The left handed, gay and older brother literature is in this math of mind/body connection. Some are indeed less tied to their physicality and thus more consciously attracted. But this world is an insane asylum, because my Father is forgotten. As the forensic accountant to the God of Israel, I do the ATP bank-calorie-solar/cosmic input computation, to the case against Mankind. Evil is an equation of imbalance, and no more, fractally expanding from the domestic sphere. No more anarchy, Tyranny is preferable, if it is from Heaven.

Everyone is made up of both, Light and Darkness, the right path and the left path. In short witchcraft stands at the cross roads of all things and passes no judgment. Do what thou wilt, harm none, says it all. So for those of you seeking spiritual enlightenment, don’t limit yourself to one thing or the other. Be open to all of it and the world will open up in ways you cannot imagine. Remember with great power comes great responsibility.
