The Differences Between Left Hand Path and Right Hand Path
Jun
In Western Esotericism, Right-Hand Path (RHP) and Left-Hand Path (LHP) are two opposing approaches to magic. Most people are confused about the differences between these two paths. The truth is that they are really simple to understand once you get the right education.
Origin of LHP and RHP terms:
The Western use of these terms originated from Madame Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society. According to her, LHP was created from the translation of the word “Vamachara”, which is an Indian Tantric practice that emphasizes on the breaking of Hindu societal taboos by having sexual intercourse during a ritual, assembling in graveyards, and drinking alcohol as part of a spiritual practice. In Sanskrit, Vamachara means “the left-hand way”.
Dakshinachara consists of traditional Hindu practices such as meditation and asceticism. This term is translated as Right-Hand Path. Actually, these two paths are viewed by Tantrists as valid ways to spiritual enlightenment. However, Vamachara is considered to be a faster but dangerous path.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEFT HAND PATH & RIGHT HAND PATH
Unlike RHP which is associated with white magic, LHP is associated with every form of magic that is malicious, evil, and dark. Take a minute to think of all sinister and forbidden cultic practices. Those are examples of some of the rituals practiced on the LHP. Those who choose the LHP, choose to turn their natural and spiritual nature upside down. In other words, they sacrifice themselves to the dark.
LHP is a journey to attaining wisdom, power, and refining your consciousness. LHP is a path to self-deification. It is a gateway to deciding the greatness of your life. Those who follow this path have a thought and behavioral pattern that is different from that which is generally accepted in society. On this path, the total submission of one’s will is to self and not to other forces beyond self. The “Divine Self” is commonly called the daemon (True Will). Your daemon is deeply connected with your mind, psyche, and body in both the physical and spiritual worlds. For a beginner, knowing oneself and taking charge of one’s will isn’t something that happens spontaneously. It requires time and conscious effort towards achieving this goal.
A major distinguishing aspect of these two paths is that practitioners of RHP have a goal which is to reunite their souls with a divine source. In other words, they believe in the ascension of their soul to heaven. So to achieve this, they stick to specific moral codes, embrace the light and tend to annihilate dark practices to avoid judgment in the form of Karma or the Threefold law. However, practitioners of LHP embrace the dark as well as the light. Due to their freedom belief, they reject societal moral status quo and question religious doctrines. On this path, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. Think about practices that are traditionally viewed as taboos, (for example, sex magic, gay marriage, embracing satanic imagery) they accept and practice them. Unlike RHP followers, they consider themselves as their sole divinity. They explore their God-like power and ability. They don’t believe in heaven or any reunion of the soul with a divine entity. They believe that when you die, your ethereal spirit leaves your flesh and stays down in the lower regions based on that dark energy until you reincarnate again.
Like I mentioned earlier, RHP practitioners wouldn’t harm anyone because they believe that a condemnation awaits those who do such. However, for followers of LHP, the rule is “Be good to those who earn your love and ruthless to your enemies”.
On the LHP, gods, and demons are viewed as representations of the energies and powers that exist in nature and humanity. The Luciferians call them “Deific Masks”. On the RHP, these powers are separated into good and evil and the evil ones are avoided. Recall that I said on the LHP, balance is a priority and for that reason, an individual can decide to work with any of these energies; be it good or evil.
Every human has one form of weakness or the other. It could be indiscipline, procrastination, or anything that limits you from growing. Followers of the LHP train themselves to be able to overcome every form of self-limitation and this requires a standard of discipline and self-accountability. Once you know that you are the god of your life then you must be ready to take charge of your life. Note that the way you think and the things you focus your energy on would manifest in your life as either blessings or misfortune.
As humans, we are bound to make mistakes sometimes but LHP demands that you learn from your mistakes and plan carefully to avoid repetition. As a Luciferian, you must be able to rule over your inner development and balance your desires.
CRITICISMS ON THE TWO PATHS
According to Andrew D. Chumbley, Magister of the Cultus Sabbati, these two terms are simply theoretical constructs that were without definitive objectivity therefore both forms could be employed by a magician. It is just like a person having two hands, a right and left and both serve the same master. Wiccan High Priest John Belham Payner also expressed the same sentiment when he said: “For me, magic is magic”.
Heraclitus argued that the way up and the way down are the same, suggesting that he had a similar view. Whether you are going up or down, whether you are going left or right, you end up in the same place.
The images of Madonna, and Baphomet, above represent the law AS ABOVE, SO BELOW. Also, take a look at those hands again, they signify the two different paths. So far, I have made you understand that the LHP and RHP are two opposite poles of life but I would like to ask you a question which I believe you should have an answer. Can someone walk on these two paths at the same time? Is there a middle way? Please leave your answers in the comment section below.

To understand Right and Left hand path we must understand the origin and meaning, for this purpose the best is the read the book Anacalypsis. In few words the first name of the god was written with number as Lunar decimal math give vocalization to numbers by the name of trees (Irish orgham, jewish, Phoenician, Slavic etc numbers/letters have same lunar decimal rots and with this math we calculate 666 ), the base of this math was counting on 10 fingers and 28 lunar fields (yes they where first who divide the sky) they where counting from left to the right hand and as 10 had special place as the round number (for explanation look Anacalypsis) many civilization such south America (they count till 5 older system) Scitian or even today Slavic use 10 as the name for decimal and right hand and south american use for five also the name of the hand (one of the reason why was always 10th give to the God) in their witting for five they would use V and for 10 they would use double V and this how was the form the cross as the symbol of the God from Mesopotamia to south America.
This math divide Heavens (the all star that we can see in eater) in to a 72 constellations and those where the body of what we today call angels and constellations Man (Today Aquarius) Leo, Taurus, and Eagle (Today Scorpio) are the Winds of the world (Tetragramaton in cabala) and they are the width and depth of the heaven in microcosms we know them by the name of planets, the jews after exile from Babylone divide them on 2 entity the Cherubs and Archangels. To understand heavens it is necessary to learn “lotus flower” teaching as in base there is no fallen angels they are just force of creation that create physical world and conscious mind so their energy is closer to as.
In base working with right hand forces are forces from lotus flower, the powerful tool work with them is yearly procession in 28 lunar fields that help to divine winds of the world and the one who divine them in own soul he can freely do the magic of the Left path as the top of it’s achievement is astral world. The work of the right hand is very hard and to do there is 3 ways , two are achievable and 3th to very small number people such as Ezekiel ore Ananhnerba.
