Where and when did the left hand path (LHP)
originate? Contrary to popular Western occult ideas,
it¶s an Eastern concept. They have systems of spiritual
attainment in those far off lands that have been
relatively consistent, as well as relatively ancient
when compared to our Western systems. The right
hand path was characterized by various asceticisms
and self denying practices, the object of which was to
gain enlightenment of the spirit by denying the body
its pleasures. An echo of this can be found in the
various Gnosticisms. The theory basically ran that the
body was either an illusion or something evil to be
overcome in order to liberate the eternal soul. Contrast
with this the LHP practitioners¶ assertion that the
body is the passport to all delights, the way to true
liberation in the here and now. It involved such
wonderful belief structures as Tantra, although by no
bizarre stretch of the imagination it is to assert that the
here and now physicality of existence is an illusion
wonder that we scoff at these hypocritical wretches?
So the roots of the idea in the West are Eastern. It
wasn¶t long though before the idea spread its
blissfully unfolding wings to further reaches of the
earth. Doubtless in every age and culture the
antinomian urge has arisen. Who of us hasn¶t heard of
the native South Africans (Nguni peoples) refer to
Sangomas and ³witches´ as two distinct entities, the
one benign, the other supposedly malign? And what
of the infamous Yezidi of the Middle East? While
they hold that there might be some great universal
being that created the universe, it is Melek Taus, the
peacock angel, that arouse their worship and devotion
because it is he that has authority upon this earth. To
those readers who are observant it will be unnecessary
to draw a parallel between pride and peacock feathers.
Travel westward to the Nile and we find Set, god of
storms and the desert in later ages but the benefactor
of mankind through the bestowal of fecundity in
earlier incarnations. The reason these names were
made unhallowed was largely political, for a nation
without guilt will not easily be controlled. Regardless
of what the Wiccans might say Pan has ever been the
Devil, and ever shall be. Have they ever stopped to
wonder why the father of their Aradia and
brother/husband of their Diana is named Lucifer? I
doubt they have the insight or the honesty to figure
that one out. Where has the word ³witch´ not been
associated with the Devil except in their deluded
minds?
So we get to the Middle Ages and we find the various
witch trials in Europe and later in America (Not
unlike the pathetic satanic panic of the 80¶s,
thumbscrews aside). You see, the Horned God is
Satan, giver of life, fertility, bounty of the earth, Lord
of Death and Lord of the Dance of Life.
So we have all these examples of the rising and the
shining of humanities representation of his carnal
nature, and as Lavey said, ³man¶s carnal nature will
out´. Yet people are afraid and ashamed of what they
are, unwilling to admit that they have needs and
desires physically. Now tell me what this emptiness
that so many profess to have really is. I guarantee it
ain¶t Jesus.
Consider for a moment the story of the Serpent in the
Garden of Eden. What was it He promised? That we
shall become as gods, knowing good and evil, and
above all that the tyrant feared this evolution of ours.
Why else were we bounced from the place? Did he
not say that he was jealous, allowing no other gods
before him? And lest we eat from the Tree of Life
also, and become like him. Now that¶s insecurity if
ever I saw it. Well it¶s too late Jehovah, your time has
come! And we are the executioners!
To become God you have to kill God, there can be no
pretender to the throne. Eradicate all vestiges of the
deceiver from your mind. Embrace the Gift of Satan,
liberator of mankind. Trample the Nazarene beneath
glorious cloven hooves. Gore the Arab with the horns
of your might. No longer will we submit to stifling,
suffocating dogma. And to those who choose to
remain in bondage I say ³may you get what you
deserve, your Hell is now´. And woe unto them who
dare to stand in my way. Hinder not my life and sever
yours I shan¶t. For the day has dawned when the
strong no longer finds sustenance from the diet of
dogma and superstition that it was raised on, yet
hypocrisy remains rife. What are we if not glorious
(glorified) apes indulging our every whim? It has been
postulated that we operate on the same basic survival
circuits as any other animal. These circuits have been
evaluated and classified by people such as Timothy
Leary and Robert Anton Wilson. Don¶t get me wrong,
I¶m not advocating indulgence in psychedelics as
these people did, merely using them as an example to
drive home a point. Instead let the Arch Fiend be your
drug.

So we come to a conclusion, it being that for man to

evolve and become what he was meant to be, he has
to embrace the light and the dark, the bestial and the
divine, for man is a creature of duality and it cannot
be denied if any true progress is to be made. No use
deceiving yourself any longer. Integrate and progress.
So make an honest evaluation of yourself today and
decide; which side are you on?

Hail Satan.

Hail Lucifer.

Hail Thyself.
