ime would be productive of two results. it would first of all bring the human family into the power (as yet blind and destructive) of certain elementals, who are of a nature analogous to that of the physical body. hence destruction of the form would ensue, or paralysis and insanity on a large scale would eventuate. secondly, it would put power into the hands of certain of the brothers of the left hand path11(184) and of a number of unconscious magicians (of whom there are quite a number) who would use it only for selfish, evil and material ends. hence no more can be said anent dense physical substance and its embodiers. the agnichaitans of the third group are as yet a menace to man, and are only handled in group formation, and on a large scale by the head of the manu's department through t

ence of the seventh ray, and the planetary logos of that ray works in close co-operation with the raja-lord of the seventh plane. as the goal of evolution for the devas is the inner hearing, it will be apparent why mantric sounds and balanced modulations are the method of contacting them, and of producing varying phenomena. this seventh order of devas is the one with which the workers on the left hand path are concerned, working through vampirism and the devitalisation of their victims. they deal with the etheric bodies of their enemies, and by means of sounds affect deva substance, thus producing the desired results. the white magician does not work on the physical plane with physical substance. he transfers his activities to a higher level, and hence deals with desires and motives. he wo

ate, and others still he will obey. it is in the realisation of these facts anent deva substance, the power of sound, the law of vibration, and the ability to produce forms in conformity with law, that the true magician can be seen. herein too lies one of the distinctions to be found between magicians of the good law- 550- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust and those of the left-hand path. a white magician can control and manipulate deva substance, and he proceeds to do it through an intelligent co-operation with the greater builders. owing to the purity and holiness of his life, and the height of his own vibration, he can contact them in some one or other of their grades. the magician of the shadows controls and manipulates deva substance on the astral and physical plane

een the two types of workers, the line of demarcation is so slight as to be difficult of recognition by those who, as yet, merit not the term "knower" the distinction between the two exists in both motive and method, and might be summed up as follows: the white magician has for motive that which will be of benefit to the group for whom he is expending his energy and time. the magician of the left hand path ever works alone, or if he at any time co-operates with others, it is with a hidden selfish purpose. the exponent of white magic interests himself in the work of constructive endeavour in order to co-operate in hierarchical plans, and to further the desires of the planetary logos. the brother of darkness occupies himself with that which lies outside the plans of the hierarchy and with th

building lives with the vibration of love, and the attractive coherency of the son, and through wisdom the forms are built. he learns to work from the heart, and therefore to manipulate that energy which streams from the "heart of the sun" until (when he becomes a buddha) he can dispense somewhat the force emanating from the "spiritual sun" therefore, the heart centre in the brother of the right hand path is the transmitting agency for the- 583- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust building force, and the triangle he uses in this work is a. the centre in the head which corresponds to the heart. b. the heart centre itself. c. the throat centre. the brothers of the left hand path work with the forces of the third aspect entirely, and this it is which gives them so much appar

the hands of the student powers which enable him to create, to acquire, and to control. such powers are fraught with menace to the unprepared and unready, for the student can, in this case, turn them to selfish ends, use them for his own temporal material advancement, and acquire in this way that which will feed the desires of the lower nature. he takes, therefore, the first step towards the left hand path, and each life may see him progressing towards it with greater readiness, until (almost unconsciously) he will find himself in the ranks of the black masters. such a state of affairs can only be offset through the cultivation of altruism, sincere love of man, and a steady negation of all lower desire. the third danger which menaces the unwary student of magic lies in the fact that when h

ing with that which is akin to his own lower nature. he, therefore, follows the line of least resistance; he augments these energies, thereby increasing their response to the lower and to the material aspects of his nature. this he does at the expense of his higher nature, retarding its unfoldment and delaying his progress. incidentally also, he attracts the attention of those masters of the left hand path who are ever on the lookout for those who can be bent to their purposes, and he becomes (unwittingly at first, an agent on the side of evil. it will be apparent, therefore, that the student has need of the following qualities before he undertakes the arduous task of becoming a conscious master of magic: physical purity. this is a thing not easily to be acquired, but entailing many lives

gical work. as progress on the path is made the thought processes of the aspirant become more potent, and the thought-forms created with definite purpose and in the meditation work become more effective in the bringing about of results. it will be apparent therefore that in magical work (which has ever to be wrought out on the physical plane) there will always exist the tendency towards the "left-hand path" until soul consciousness is permanently established, and purity of motive has become a habit of the mind. may i remind all who read that the establishing and stabilizing of right habits is, for the aspirant to discipleship, a prime requisite. those who are working in the field of planetary evolution are looking for dependable instruments, and this cannot be too emphatically impressed up

rit stands for re-orientation to heavenly things. hence purity of motive and the instinct for service, which latter keynote is new from the standpoint of the past eternities. in spite of this, however, the tendency to selfish interest is the most potent factor in the world at this time, and hence the critical situation existing between the hierarchy of light and the hierarchy controlling the left-hand path, or the path of control by form and desire. let there be no discouragement, however, for the spiritual thought, resulting in magical work, of one brother of pure intent is of far greater potency than that of many brothers who follow the tendencies of the personality. though every true aspirant as he grasps the magnitude of the plan and surveys the forces arrayed against him may be overco

ation. the attention of the thinker being focussed on the mental plane, the progress of his manifested thought will be sure and inevitable. when the idea is clearly grasped, the attention closely focussed, and the energy or life aspect steadily applied, the result will be irresistible appearance and potent action on the physical plane. this thought must be borne in mind if the dangers of the left hand path are to be avoided. let me here make some statements in brief tabulated form, which will produce a truer understanding of the words "left hand path. we are dealing here primarily with those thought-forms which man creates: 1. the left hand path concerns the matter aspect and the life poured into the form serves only to vitalize the atoms in substance. the potency of the love aspect as wie

s the matter aspect and the life poured into the form serves only to vitalize the atoms in substance. the potency of the love aspect as wielded by the soul is lacking. 2. the form created is constituted of mental matter, of astral matter and of physical substance. it lacks the soul contribution. its purpose is in line with the development of form, but not in line with soul expression. 3. the left hand path, therefore, is the path of progress for substance or matter. it is not the path of progress for the soul aspect. it is the "way of the holy ghost" but not the way of the son of god. i express this truth in these words as it serves peculiarly to make the distinction clear and yet preserves the integrity of substance-matter and their unity within the one life- 154- a treatise on white magi

sexual magick is a challenge which moves beyond the constraints of sociological limitation; it is taboo without psychological degradation, self-motivational empowerment through becoming as a god or goddess, to discover your weaknesses and strengths. adamu forbidden sexual magick the definitions of the left hand path has long been a clouded and often misunderstood definition. essentially, the left hand path is by universal perception as being the mutation or transformation of consciousness into a divinity or divine conscious, this is done by the process of the practice of magick and sorcery to achieve the motion of the body and mind towards a higher perception. the black adepts of the order of phosphorus and the black order of the dragon are magicians who are committed to process of self-de

actice within the cult. this trinity is an alchemical process of becoming in which the magician aligns and utilizes the deific associations of samael lilith cain to transform their consciousness into the divine essence which is baphomet, the head of knowledge. to described samael, a small section as follows is from liber hvhi, a ritual work which defines the deeper and darker practice of the left hand path in terms of witchcraft. 5 for the devil is called diabolus, that is, flowing downwards: that he which swelled with pride, determined to reign in high places, fell flowing downwards to the lowest parts, like the torrent of a violent stream. the fourth book of occult philosophy it is written in the bible that samael/satan fell from heaven as lightening, being a flash downwards, who before

course it is a mistake, unless under very special circumstances, to perform any miracles, on the ground that they diminish the supreme energy reserved for the performance of the main task. it will be remembered that the knowledge and conversation of the holy guardian angel is attributed to tiphareth, while the exempt adept is in chesed; how is it then that a black magician, a brother of the left hand path, can ever reach that grade? the answer is given in the eleventh thyr; when the exempt adept reaches the frontier of the abyss, his holy guardian angel leaves him, and this is the one supreme terror of that passage. it seems extraordinary that one who has ever enjoyed his knowledge and conversation should afterwards fall away into that blind horror whose name is choronzon. but such is the

se name is choronzon. but such is the case. some of the problems, or rather, mysteries, connected with this are too deep to enter upon in this place, but the main point to remember is this, that in the outer order, and in the college of adepts itself, it is not certain to what end any one may come. the greatest and holiest of the exempt adepts may, in a single moment, become a brother of the left hand path. it is for this reason that the great white brotherhood admits no essential connection with the lower branches affiliated to the order. at the same time, the brothers of the a.a. refuse none. they have no objection to any one claiming to be one of themselves. if he does so, let him abide by it. 25. hast thou attuned thy being to humanity.s great pain, o candidate for light? thou hast. th

roots of the adversary in magick from a historical and mythological standpoint. as a practitioner of magick from a satanic and luciferian viewpoint, many often inquire on my sources and inspirations from which i form my sorcerous work. it was because of this need for a crystallization of the form and function of the praxis of sorcery that i began, to present a concise view of the practice of left hand path magical practice from a luciferian viewpoint. the dragon within the triangle of darkness is a reference made to the evocation circle as the meeting place of the daemon and man, but also the luciferian rite of azi dahaka, the sorcerer-dragon king from persian mythology called zohak, an original son of satan. the black triangle by more common knowledge is related to the concentration of wi

ch a man exercises a miserable control over his desires owing to his evil intellect and the force of the evil invisible power in him he develops and perfects himself in sin- denkard this presents a foundation of the self which is indeed different from the path of the good mind, or the mind of stasis. ganamino is essentially motion; movement through will, the will of god was misunderstood by right hand path religions as merely being good, loving, light and kind. rather the god they so worshipped in nature outside of themselves- is that which indeed causes destruction and rebirth, thus a balanced aspect of both dark and light. the religion of priests, who guided by their evil intellect devoid of wisdom, act among men as the servents of god, is only in appearance the wise religion of god. thi

arance the wise religion of god. this through the evil intellect depopulates the world, ruins, and destroys mankind. and such a priest is as it were the agent of the evil-minded ahriman to do his work among men and harms mankind and the world. such a religion, owing to the evil intellect, renders mankind miserable and makes them suffer in pain in both the worlds. denkard here we see that the left hand path or that of akoman the evil mind represents a path of power from which the self is beholden of. that the religion of sorcery is indeed painful, it is by this strife and stimulation within the self that makes us strong and able to work our will, to discover our own true will (the akoman or holy guardian angel) and to manifest our desires. it is difficult and often troublesome, however the

the avesta. in buddhism, on the other hand, the root cause of the chain of conditioned existence is avidya, ignorance, and its principle manifestation is trshna, thirst, which means the desire for continued existence. furthermore, az represents the ideal and concept of self-deification through a willed existence, that the trshna concept is one of vampirism and desire. thus az represents the left hand path as a rite of passage of becoming. continued existence is essentially the survival of the psyche or essential self; there is no union with the natural order that which can eliminate the mind. the practitioner does not seek to join with it; rather he or she seeks to remain separate from it in their own self-created subjective world. as with the manichaeans, az is the mother of all demons

e mind. what must be carefully adhered to is that which is unseen, that when the imagination can adapt consciousness (through the subconscious) with the image of satan then the transformation begins. once the initiate has embraced the path, there is no turning back. one may fall from the path; such is a kiss of death to the individual in question based on their own potential and failure. the left hand path as it is called can render a person mad if they are not able to control their own desires and goals, iblis tests just as he was tested. 21 black is from the root fhm meaning hidden or secret, but also wisdom. the word abufihamat, or head/father of wisdom is the foundation of baphomet. 22 representing fire and continual motion, change and sexual vigor. 23 white is symbolic of the astral p

8. it is this concentration of life-force that the western occultist seeks in his operations. he does not try to escape from matter into spirit, leaving an unconquered country behind him to get on as best it may; he wants to bring the godhead down into manhood and make divine law prevail even in the kingdom of the shades. this is the root-motive for the acquisition of occult powers upon the right-hand path, and explains why initiates do not abandon all for the mystic divine union, but cultivate a white magic. 9. it is this white magic, which consists in the application of occult powers to spiritual ends, by means of which a large proportion of the training and development of the western aspirant is carried out. i have seen something of a good many different systems, and in my opinion the p

ga. tantra differs from more ascetic forms of hinduism in eschewing the way of denial. instead of refraining from such things as alcohol and sex in order to attain spiritual realization, tantra suggests using items commonly denied as a tool to enlightenment. sexuality is by far the most controversial of such tools. within tantric systems, the practice of maithuna may be either symbolic (the right-hand path) or actual (the left hand path. tantra seeks union with the goddess shakti and speaks of the male s union with the goddess. in left-hand rites, the woman is seen as the goddess present in flesh. tantra also developed the understanding of occult anatomy in hinduism focused in the seven chakras, or psychic centers, located horizontally in the body from the base of the spine to the top of t

ody from the base of the spine to the top of the head, and kundalini, the mystical energy that is usually pictured as lying latent, like a coiled serpent, at the base of the spine. in tantric practice, kundalini is released to travel up the spine, opening the chakras, and eventually bringing enlightenment. in right-hand tantra, this awakening is done with meditation and concentration. in the left-hand path, the kundalini is awakened in part by sexual intercourse ending in coitus interruptus, with a cooperating female. there has also existed in the west since the late nineteenth century an occult system that includes sexual practices, its encyclopedia of occultism& parapsychology. 5th ed. maithuna 969 major exponent having been aleister crowley. this system is often seen as a derivative of

ion step by step, in a hermeneutic way. there is no outmost secret if one believes that all is basically secret. esoterism denotes something inner and mysterious, unlike the exoteric which is the outer form. christianity with its outer dogmas and ceremonies could be called exoteric, while gnosticism could be viewed as esoteric. in the same way satanism could be described as exoteric, and the left hand path as esoteric. faivre presents his explanation for the work esoterism: the word esoterism is derived from eso which means inside and ter which leads one to the word opposition. the diffuse etymology of the word have made it elastic and open but faivre believes that six criteria should be fulfilled if one in a fruitful way is to be able to discuss something specifically esoteric (to disting

through initiations. the conditions of this second birth is that a) the teachings are respected and not questioned, since one wishes to be a part of this tradition, and b) that the initiation is supervised by a teacher or master. faivre s definition of esoterism corresponds to the draconian philosophy of dragon rouge. correspondences are the basis of ritual magic and for the practice of the left hand path. the first of the five elementary draconian principles is: all is one. this is an alchemical formula which in alchemistical symbols can be found next to ouroborossymbols: pictures of dragons or serpents biting their tails. the formula is in greek en to pan and is pivotal in alchemistic and hermetic philosophy. in the system of the left hand path this formula is interpreted as the divine

stem where the magician gradually enters certain levels. since the goal is not to become one with god, the path towards the divine is an important process to learn how to control the divine fire. the last criteria of faivre is the perhaps most important aspect of the alchemical initiation process of dragon rouge. the transformation from our human nature to a godlike nature is the goal of the left hand path. unlike many satanists or theories in new age, dragon rouge does not believe that man is already godlike and simply has to recognize this. we must use the dark forces to and the qliphotic principles to break down and build up ourselves again, until we have the ability to give birth to ourselves as gods. we are transmuted from being creations of the past to becoming creators of the future

INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVEN FACES OF DARKNESS

the pious who would veil their gaze, and trust to have secret things revealed to them in a later life. it is for those who would seek after the hidden things now. it is not for those who would come forth by daylight to see what is revealed by the light of another, but for those who would come forth by night and see by their own light. an excerpt from chapter one: the nature and goals of the left hand path sovereignty and the stages of initiation the left hand path is a quest for sovereignty. it seeks four types of rulership: l rulership of the inner world l rulership of the outer world l royal power in the outer world l royal power in the inner world there are two types of rulership beyond this, which are docetic rulership and formatory rulership, both of which are beyond the scope of thi

both of which are beyond the scope of this book. these types of rulership may be engaged in simultaneously, but in general they are gained in the order listed above. they require hard work, mental reflection, and magical prowess to obtain, and are sought both in this life and the after life. let us examine each of these types of rulership, and then compare the concept of sovereignty to the right hand path concept of submission. commanding rulership of the inner world the basis of the left hand path is that humans are but machines, but may in potential become gods. the first aspect that a human has to change is their inner world. they have been taught- or rather acquired- a series of randomly assorted thoughts, notions, and behaviors, most of which either actively hinder them, or at best l

world human beings have two desires that lead them to their third task, the making of other human beings better. the first is a weak and vain desire that rhp creeds strike out against, which is the desire to show off. the second is a desire that generally makes us good herd animals, the desire to help out other people. this second desire is generally derided by the more immature forms of the left hand path. by understanding and accepting these desires, we can not only engage in the pleasures that come from them, but also transform ourselves into yet more sovereign beings. the desire to show off is genially used by forces outside of ourselves for their gain. they sell us a snazzy car, a bigger computer, or nicer clothes than our neighbors. good primates that we are, we fall for this trick e

get better, we also have to help others get better so that we have people to talk to, and they in turn begin to desire followers (having the same weakness and vanity that we do. slowly we change our desire to show off into a desire for peers, and thus we create schools that perpetuate our thoughts. the desire to help out people comes from the refinement of the emotions. most people begin the left hand path in a state of disillusionment and rebellion. they want to be boss rather then be bossed (in fact everyone is on the lhp for two weeks when they are 17) the emotional states here are anger and greed and jealousy. this dark side of human nature is where the good will come from, the shadow is the initiator, but as self power is gained, so comes the capacity for a non-sentimental love of oth

se fears. fear of the unknown impulse how many times has your life taken a certain turn, based on no clear reason? you decided to go into a store on an impulse, and met your spouse. you decided to pick up a slip of paper off the floor, and found your college major. you disagreed with a family member over the thanksgiving day menu, and wound up with a fight that scarred you both for life. the left hand path magician comes to realize that such "slips" and seeming "accidents" are the key to power. but this does not mean that he or she believes that every event is fated. it means that learning to control one's life rationally becomes a talisman to effect control of the hidden aspects of life as well. thus magicians will enter a phase where none of their actions are random or accidental, and le

uncovered. as we exude confidence we attract the type of seeker that wants to put forth what we have, so we have a living laboratory to see if our ideas work. as we discover the nature of attitude, we begin to understand what has gone on in our lives, and who we are- we forgive ourselves for wasted time, and learn how to make the remaining decades of our lives powerful and joyous. unlike a right hand path prophet who must imagine that he hears a voice in a burning bush, we hear our own voice explaining our lives to us. throughout mankind's history, certain men and women have obtained this level of initiation, and have been, are, and will be the true black order, who by their strivings bring new impulses to the earth while living and beyond, and thus effect the work of the prince of darkne

ghtenment; vamchara, however, is considered to be the faster and more dangerous of the two, not suitable for all practicioners. this usage of the terms is still current in modern tantra. adoption by western occultism the prevalence of these terms within the new age movement, particularly occultism and satanism, is often attributed to the influence of helena blavatsky, who first used the term left-hand path to describe "immoral" religions. this usage was popularized by aleister crowley, who maintained that his religion, thelema, was, despite appearances, not of the left-hand path. it is not known whether she borrowed these terms from tantra or from a different source; some have suggested that she, or perhaps crowley, borrowed the terms from the kabbalah, which speaks of the left hand pillar

. it is not known whether she borrowed these terms from tantra or from a different source; some have suggested that she, or perhaps crowley, borrowed the terms from the kabbalah, which speaks of the left hand pillar of serverity, the middle pillar of balance, and the right hand pillar of mercy. while this usage of the terms is still current in some occult circles, many occultists now see the left-hand path as encompassing all modern occult practices, while the right- hand path is considered to encompass traditional religions, such as christianity, though most christians would disagree with such a classification. new religious movements which describe themselves as followers of the left-hand path inverted much of the symbolism that they associate with the more "traditional" right- hand path

llowers of the left-hand path inverted much of the symbolism that they associate with the more "traditional" right- hand path, such as the following biblical passage: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. and he shall set the sheep on his right, but the goats on his left- matthew 25: 32-33 taking a cue from this, modern followers of the left-hand path in the west sometimes utilize the symbol of a goat or baphomet, and sometimes refer to followers of right- hand path religions as sheep, implying that they exhibit a "herd mentality. usage in modern occultism today, the terms left-hand path and right-hand path are almost exclusively used by self-proclaimed followers of the left-hand path, who hold varying opinions of the right- hand path

they exhibit a "herd mentality. usage in modern occultism today, the terms left-hand path and right-hand path are almost exclusively used by self-proclaimed followers of the left-hand path, who hold varying opinions of the right- hand path; some see the two paths as equally valid approaches to truth, whose relationship is akin to the balance between yin and yang, while others criticize the right-hand path for being too restrictive. according to the latter view, the right-hand path's imposition of formal dogmas and codes of behaviour upon an individual takes away one's ability to be truly responsible for one's own life, thereby destroying a part of one's identity. according to some, this is the main difference between the two paths: the left-hand path preserves individuality, while the rig

roperties: belief in a higher power, such as a deity. obedience to the will of the higher power. belief in the existence of a supernatural mechanism, such as karma, divine retribution, or threefold law, which causes the moral decisions that an individual makes to be reciprocated upon himself. the ultimate goal of having the individual consciousness be absorbed into a greater or cosmic whole. left-hand path religions are usually said to share the following properties: the belief that some people can, by attaining spiritual insight, themselves become akin to gods. an esoteric understanding of concepts such as karma, divine retribution, or threefold law, resulting in fluid, rather than strict, codes of morality. the belief that the individual self is preeminent, and that all decisions should

lodges derived from the order of the golden dawn, 2 pillars are used to symbolize this divide between the light and the darkness. often a curtain is placed between these 2 pillars symbolizing the veil that exists--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 59 betweens the selves of light and darkness. there is another kind of spiritual transformation available to those black magicians who walk the left hand path, often called satanism. these magicians, using the power of the fallen angels lucifer and lilith, are unified with both the angelic and demonic counterparts; human beings who have undergone this ritual of transformation become what are commonly known as vampires. like all spiritual development, the vampiric rite is irreversible, but unlike the great work, it requires the selling of one s

atanic ritual will strongly oriented to the colors red and black. whereas a white magician may choose white. in magic, the color white is associated with purity, god, spirit, the guardian angel, and goodness; the color red is associated with life-force, blood, and violence, and the color black is related to evil, chaos, the guardian demon, and the unknown. satanists follow what is called the left hand path, whereas white magicians, christians, muslims, jews, hindus, and buddhists follow the right hand path. the left hand path is a belief structure that does not regard any moral issues; it is the negation of morality. in the eyes of the left hand pather, what they do is not evil, because there is no evil. this does not mean, however, that those of the lhp do not believe in the existence of

ere thought to be evil, and possessed by the devil. in islam, the tutelary demon assigned at birth always--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 67 resides invisibly on the individual s left side. what s more, muslims prefer to do clean jobs such as eating and greeting others with the right hand, while relegating the left hand to dirty jobs like cleaning one s house and body. teachings of the right hand path always include a firm belief in right and wrong, and the existence thereof. as stated before, the mark of the beast are those who have sold their soul to satan in exchange for vampiric transformation; this is also called making the black pact or oath. those endowed with the mark of the beast can easily change into the shapes of animals. there is also much speculation about the number 666

MICHAEL W FORD NOX UMBRA

within the current of modern witchcraft is a development from the sabbat- the infernal awakening of the sorcerer as a shadow-manifestation of ahriman, the persian- zoroastrian sorcerous being who was evil, or adversarial chaos embodied. black magic has long been viewed as a self-centered and selfish area of study, which often causes obsession and destruction. this, if looked through a rhp (right hand path) or path of disillusion (i.e. christianity) this is accurate according to the belief structure. keep in mind that religious pathways such as christianity hold no adversarial view piont rather than the extremes of the exact opposite side- which is not a natural point of study in itself. can the buddhist understand christian thinking inherently and objectively? yes, this path allows psycho

ct opposite side- which is not a natural point of study in itself. can the buddhist understand christian thinking inherently and objectively? yes, this path allows psychologically the ability to perceive and understand other views, while still limiting material control and destroing the self in the natural order. could christians understand a buddhist view point-as a majority, no. can a lhp (left hand path) practitioner understand the religious doctrine of christianity- yes, while most of us find subservient behaviour abhorrently disgusting. yet christians still view our walk as the opposite of what it actually is! a luciferian loves life, seeks to strengthen it by self-perception devoid of unnecessary egotistical thought. the sethian/luciferian understands life is a great opportunity to c

ranted. we are awake and nothing can stand in the way of that. we begin to understand who and what we are, the possibilities and the process of changing the natural order in accordance to our will. this is the lucifcrian and sethian flame of being- the black flame itself! there are specifically two methods of practice in vampyrisrn as within an initiatory context- mastery of the self and the left hand path approach of witchcraft and sorcery. the vampyre- initiate who seeks the union of ahriman and the disunion with the natural-order works in the darker or adversarial spirits, what is the same as within palo mayombe and petro voodoo currents of sorcery. by entrancing the self by the methods of offbeat rhythm, the magician calls forth the left-handed aspects of the self, the vampyric famulus

or neither-neither world of twilight, from which the shades of the dead commune with the living. the shadow may be grown, cultivated and manipulated through the will of the ahrimanic sorcerer, through darkness we expand and strengthen our consciousness. it is this hidden aspect of sorcery and witchcraft which breeds the legends of evil concepts, while it is only a hint at the purpose of the left hand path. this way is devoid of moralistic concepts, thus in the absolute and in the isolation from it, we are uniquely separate from all exterior forces, the very essence of gods and goddesses. the ahrimanic vampyre is one who separates the psyche from the natural order and masters the nightside or astral plane within our physical world which we seek to control from within. the forms in the nigh

z is actually a strong foundation from which these works arose. as written as lyric and poem form, the original praxis of the spiral force is not only directed inward, it is invoked in the circle of being. as some may have studied, aleister crowley[1] has placed significant focus on the spiral force, the traveling point of magickal energy. the same may be stated in the antinomian practice of left hand path magick, it is the spiral force from below (darkness) which ascends through the body (self) towards the luciferian realms (light. a good point of focus may be the planet saturn, which holds two octaves[2] which is a lower and higher. the opposing force resides in both octaves, the lower being satanas= rebellion, adversity, fire and the destructive power of the sun. the lower is the demoni

led homo sapiens. the most convenient way to explain this is to call attention to the possible existence of a "higher human-like personality" that has somehow imparted this quality to man, as the myths of most conventional religions seem to indicate [it can also be interpreted as such within the book of coming forth by night (temple of set) and the earlier diabolicon (church of satan) of the left-hand path tradition] our standard mode of operation through the senses demands we describe this as such. i conceive the transcendence of these myths can reveal the gift of set as much more than such a simplistic interpretation. onyx tablet: ot.i.3.4 temple of set author: james severson iii date: october 1994 ce revision: html revision: august 6, 1999 ce "i am within and beyond you, the highest of

tian mystic- a saint by our description. evil, in fact, must be aware of itself, for self-awareness is its essential nature. machen, devoted as he was to universal harmony, could not quite understand this. but that should not be surprising. he was unable to perceive the dark side, and could only hypothesize it as an inversion of what he knew, just as christians seem unable to conceive of the left-hand path as being anything but a version of their own simplistic myth-system in reverse. the saint, enraptured by the submersion of his personal ego in the universal order, would be unconcerned with any single manifestation of the universe. more appropriately, perhaps, he would be equally concerned with all. there would be no distinction of value between gold and brass, veal and hamburger; for al

we are self-respecting, prideful people- we are satanists! hell, the devil, and how to sell your soul satan has certainly been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years. the false doctrine of hell and the devil has allowed the protestant and catholic churches to flourish far too long. without a devil to point their fingers at, religionists of the right hand path would have nothing with which to threaten their followers "satan leads you to temptation "satan is the prince of evil "satan is vicious, cruel, brutal" they warn "if you give in to the temptations of the devil, you will surely suffer eternal damnation and roast in hell" the semantic meaning of satan is the "adversary" or "opposition" or the "accuser. the very word "devil" comes from the

there are similarities when one considers what occurs when there is a successful passing of the abyss. thus the concept of 'all is one' is found in both systems. yet both groups advocate a maintenance of individuality in relation to a unification with the natural order of the cosmos. thus there is no loss of self-hood in satanic tradition, no absorption by the godhead as represented by the right hand path traditions.(23) together with a unification with the natural order, is the acquisition of wisdom that is found not only in satanic and left hand path traditions but also in those of the right hand path. here wisdom satanism- an examination of satanic black magic side 9 af 21 file//c:\windows\skrivebord\nyt%20til%20bibilotek\ona\various\satanism_an_examin. 20-04-03 a collection of sacred

n those two worlds i have already mentioned previously, is determined by the path (spiritual unity or spiritual dissent) you take to meet that resistance. all of this will be covered in greater detail further on in this book. there have been many great books inspired by the path of unity with god. few great books have been written about the path of separation from god. this book is about the left hand path- the path of spiritual dissent. in this book i will cover the techniques, possibilities, environments and psychological aspects of the left hand path. there is no evolution for man other than the growth of our consciousness. the odd thing is, this type of evolution- that of consciousness- already has the physical portion (the brain) developed. it is only the potential of the brain and mi

genetics. this is the first step, subsequent understandings will be built upon what you begin to create from this "clean slate" of internal and external experience. the state of man as he is, is not to "do. you cannot change without "doing. to "do" results from becoming aware and realizing something needs to be done on a personal level and then acting. this is the key, this is the path. the left hand path has nothing to offer to those who are satisfied. this is the essential condition necessary for starting the alchemical procedure. an echo of objective conscience within the mind that says to the self: what i have been given does not feel right. this is then followed by a search for the miraculous, for the transforming element, to find individual rightness. this type of transformation lea

e carried into the future- if they are recognized. the true nature of evil is inscribed within the movement of humanity as various forms of cultural, political, environmental and genetic inscriptions. its understanding is not forthcoming, and not very easily recognized. the true nature of evil being occult and hidden from those whose personal tendencies are oriented towards the goals of the right hand path. this tendency towards assimilation, or unity of oneself into the universal order is the hallmark of the birthed self. there is a common social understanding of evil as solely consisting of various antisocial activities. actions that defy the rules of law, ethical behaviour, and social conduct. under this definition murder, theft, assault and various activities descriptive of criminal be

rity. as such it, is a powerful force that permeates all cultural and sociological milieus. the path of individuation is available to only a very small percentage of humans, and it is indeed a lonely way to walk. it is imperative to understand that the principle of good the way of non-resistant transformation, is ingrained into the entirety of nature, biology and physics itself. so, from the left hand path perspective (make no mistake, this is the perspective i am offering) god can, in part, be understood as that within nature which manifests as spiritual transformation through the principle of least resistance. this principle is manifest throughout the strata of nature, physics and biology even at the genetic level. this is the reflection of god (the abstract, noumenal concept) being real

now, with this groundwork laid, we can approach the concept of true evil. we started this chapter out by carefully defining the difference between evil- as action carried out against the norms of society/culture/law- and true evil as an independent principle that has no connection to the former. this was demonstrated by defining how good- in the sense of personal transformation through the right hand path of god and the universal nature of man- is a principle of spirtiual transformation through various paths of least resistance. further, i have hypothesized that this principle is inherent within the very fabric of both biologic mechanisms and non-biological components of the natural environment- it is inscripted. true will and individuality is a rather rare commodity, and becoming even mo

the essential activity nature of god- we can begin to draw inferences regarding the anithesis of this principle; spiritual transformation through paths of resistance. the concept of adversary lies within the dichotomy of approach and its technique in manifesting spiritual transformation. here we can establish one of the most misunderstood concepts regarding the true nature of evil and of the left hand path in general. just as god is reflected within nature and the universe, god s adversary- the devil- is reflected within that which is not nature and not of the universal order. you cannot include the idea of the devil into the mechanical consistency of the universe as a naturally occurring component. if nature and the universe are reflections of god, then the devil- as the ultimate antithes

we can state unequivocably that true evil is the denial of the self to move towards unification with god- to the extent that a personal spiritual transformation is made. true evil is that which empowers us to individuality and to the antinomian this is true good as well. chapter- 1+ 1) atum this small volume details those lines of thought that specifically affect the antinomian nature of the left hand path (lhp. in the sense of transformation, this book is an alchemical text influenced by the symbolism found within the element of salt. salt is the antinomian element, it purifies and preserves, it destroys and makes noxious, it is found in both water and earth- it is often an element of protective magic. most important of all, it is the element that represents the inscripting of transformat

iousness and objective reality. the designation is of little significance, either way it is a tool for placing the experiences of the subjective and objective universes of man into a model activity that can be emulated. taken to its extreme limits, it is an advanced initiatory approach towards obtaining expanded levels of consciousness. the dynamic potential of self individuation through the left hand path is reflected by the egyptian word xeper (pronounced keh-fer. this can be understood in many integrated ways, but for the focus of personal initiation, xeper will be dealt with as a process. it is this process- if willfully enacted- that results in the initiation of the individual. immediately, we are faced with the question what is initiation? from the standpoint of the xeper process it

e psychological constructs we each use to create our reality. it is a form of meta-cognitive shape shifting. as one useful paradigm is functionally depleted another is created to take its place (the lenses is readjusted. the purpose of xeper therefore is to see more, and by this vision clearly see what can be, and then do what needs to be done. from the outset is vital to understand that the left hand path is represented by a diversity of ideas. these divergent ideas are bound together by their intent to create changes within the individual. the variance of ideas is a development that has occurred over time, a deviation largely due to the cultural, political, religious and social changes that have occurred over time. the validity and extension of these principles and ideas is shown by thei

manifestation of xeper was during the first intermediate period of ancient egypt. this was a period when the first libraries were being put together, but it was also a period of time in ancient egyptian literature that often reflected a "skepticism and lamentation about the meaning of life. this is significant in terms of understanding the genesis of the antinomian character found within the left hand path. it is one of the hallmarks of the antinomian character to create internal disorder of this type. however, functionally it is this type of internal disarray and personal questioning that results in a search for individuated truth. however, it is important to understand that this manifestation was of a different character than the subsequent resurgences- all are somewhat different than th

ian remanifestation. the third resurgence emerged during the initial stages of development into the hermetic tradition of magic (a synthesis of egyptian, and graeco-roman magical philosophy and practice) which has so greatly influenced modern western initiatory systems. the nature of the antinomian character is eclectic and diverse, however the real meaning behind such diversity- relative to left hand path philosophy- is simple. many people say the same things in different ways. they say them differently because they, as individuals, have their own affinities, likes and dislikes, disposition and cultural/genetic heritage. thus, some are drawn towards the lhp egyptian perspective, others the graeco-roman-egyptian, the mesoamerican, or the northern european. other individuals- through acts o

is developed from out of these principles of self creation; principles that form the general lhp paradigm. uniqueness of thought and ideas are respected and sought after as the sustenance of further conceptual evolution. also, diversity of opinion creates a tension of the most useful nature in the flow of setian dynamics. without that tension there can only be understanding based upon faith- left hand path adherents do not constitute the faithful. when speaking of this eclecticism and individuality of thought, it seems pertinent to ensure that the reader understands that it is not a free for all- not everything goes. there is a specific development of thoughts within the range of ideas that we call antinomian, or left hand. those that serve to exemplify the principles of individualism, inv

hand. those that serve to exemplify the principles of individualism, invention and separation from unity for the purpose of manifesting a creation into the future, fit that formative structure. those ideas whose intent is to embody the principles of unity with god or nature and the universe, are outside of this structure. this is the dividing fork in the road which delineates left hand from right hand path cognitive schemes. one important aspect of lhp spirituality is whether or not one believes in the objective existence of a god or gods; or perceives those god(s)forms to be embodiments of principles encased within various mythological countenances. additonally, there are views that perceive the idea of a god(s) as egregores, or determine them as something entirely different such as a use

appear different, much like getting a new prescription for eyeglasses that require a period of re-adjustment. this re-adjustment to the new lense lies at the heart of the tension i have mentioned. once the individual gets used to the "new prescription" they can see much better, and the tension then resides until the next prescription is necessary. a common desire within the religions of the right hand path is unity- unity of thought, seeking unity with nature, desiring unity with god, seeking unity with the universe, etc. the lhp has acquired unity, but it is a polaric unity that occurs through the separation and individuation of ideas. there is a common bond created by the very separate and disparate paths that are individually followed in the lhp. this aspect of antinomian thought is vit

he process of defining ones own self. this is the beginning of developing objective consciousness; which is a purposefully created perspective that influences your own understanding of how you participate in the world. i have chosen the ethical/moral example in order to demonstrate the following point. the vast majority of people have ethical and moral standards. what is different within the left hand path is that these standards of conduct are not the results of social, cultural and religious indoctrination; although they may agree on various points. for the follower of the lhp they are choices based upon a resolve to preserve for others- by understanding the importance of the individual through your own individuation. this is the inherent value within the school. it is a remanifestation

ronzon is chvrvnvn and according to kenneth grant relates to 333, one half of 666 with the other being shugal, the desert howler. as coronzom is the original name written by dee, this would add to 323 which represents the qlippoth of aquarius which in liber hvhi is represented as behemiron, shadows and demonic fragments which the sorcerer may utilize to draw energy from. the adversary from a left hand path perspective "our way is all about, in its beginnings, and for those daring individual who join us, liberating the dark or shadow aspect of the personality. to achieve this, we sometimes encourage individuals to undergo formative experiences of a kind which more conventional societies and individuals frown upon or are afraid of but the strong survive, the weak perish. all this- and the ot

n that the darkness is so thick one may seemingly cut through it with a knife. ahriman is said to have much heat within him, however cold and darkness surrounds him. as with initiation, one enters the darkness which others fear to emerge bearing the same fire of which az stirs up. the five flames of ahriman are described in depth in liber hvhi. the avesta is perhaps one of the most powerful right hand path religious texts composed. while fragments exist, the entire foundation of the avesta is based on prayers and hymns when sung or chanted in a mantra disciplined form, have the ability to create staotas or vibrations in sound. in one may take notice to historical foundations of all religions, a major emphasis is upon sound and the effect upon those who use or hear it. sound is essential as

er significance to the zoroastrian religion. the denkard is an ancient religious doctrine which holds a significant amount of history of the religion and its concepts including that of the enemy ahriman. in early zoroastrian times it was considered that demons or daevas held sway over man, even making their abode in the body. the word for this is katag nafsh meaning abode in the soul. from a left hand path perspective, this act is of initiation and should not be avoided. the denkard describes a secret of the luciferian power in this world: ahriman should be thus cast out from the world; everyone for the sake of self shall extract (him) from the body, since ahriman has his abode in human bodies in this world. consequently, when he has no lodgment in the bodies of men, he will be exterminate

estation of idolatry and selfdeification, associated with buddha in ancient times. as liber hvhi presents the path of meditation, self-mastery through ahrimanic yoga, buiti is the herald of that path of magick. if one wishes to master elements of such antinomian magick, it is suggested to study the techniques of yoga while concealing the intention of becoming a yatus or a practitioner of the left hand path. while the buddhist seeks to kill consciousness, the daeva buiti seeks to master it, to strengthen and expand the concept of i. use the techniques of yoga: discipline, attainment and self-control to begin a crystallization of the psyche. summary tabaet is just one of the names of the adversary, his forms are many, just as his bride, yet the blackened fire is imperishable. sorcery and the

nderstanding self-consciousness. in the instance of witchcraft, it is specifically a magickal art of transformation by not only selfdirected means, but also influences via nature and earthen inspired streams of imagination. a luciferian does not embrace alone either light or darkness, the luciferian focuses upon the antinomian path of cain, the solitary and selfmotivated magician1 who by the left hand path2 seek to continually develop the self in a model of lucifer3 who fell from light of selflessness to taste the pleasures and knowledge of darkness, who in turn learned the wisdom of the crooked dragon4 by the predilection of being on the left hand path, the mind is considered luciferian in perception a state of being in continual change and progression. look now to the imagination5 for th

called satanic or even an atheistic belief system. by the time he becomes old, 50 s plus he begins reverting back to the christian beliefs which were embedded from his childhood. he dies a christian due as he views his body crumbling and his fears grow close he is not sure of himself or what he has done with his life. the will grows broken through years of having the safety net of jesus. the left hand path however in modern times questions and tests, it offers a treasure upon treasure of knowledge and wisdom through experience, it builds and summons forth hidden gods and sleeping beasts, it challenges and destroys those who flinch in the face of the adversary in short it is dangerous. the left hand path is indeed dangerous because it can destroy the perceptions of the condition of human be

y origins which represent the foundation of the rite itself. christian witch hunters may have indeed fabricated many of the stories of the sabbat, much of the sexual manifestations of that time with accordance to demons and such, but do not loose the point of which we expand from their writings. if you are christian or not, by utilizing the imagination6 in adverse areas you are displaying to left hand path principles 1) the self described antinomian events which indicate isolate consciousness and intelligence, a sense of the forbidden 2) by inventing such aspects of the sabbat and the devil, they fleshed out a powerful and adverse initiatory model of luciferian self-deification. we have in fact become their demons by expanding from this practice. the same may be said in current times, thos
