What is a mistake that one might not recognise when starting to practice vampirism? Which technique works for you without having to be in contact to the “prey”?

I'm curious if anyone here is in a circumstance where you have to pretend to belong to a religion while pursuing the Left Hand Path. Normies know me as an atheist so it's not a problem for me. But do any of you have to pretend to be a believing Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Jew/Buddhist/etc? Does it have any effect on your practice?

Someone has done it before? It is dangerous if I do it? Also if this guy is not for me. Making him fall for me, could potencially make away my true love?

I've read plenty of LHP books, and plenty of bad ones. But something that I've been wanting to read - could be book, journal writing/essay, or ravings of the insane - is expressions of the dark energy around us. I'm tired of reading the dogmatic, feeling conflicted when I hear of others' constraining religious or cult systems. I want to read the cathartic meditations about the dark and the maniacal gnawing off of the limbs. A book that comes to mind as a good example is Myrkthursablot. Just an introspective, even-keeled delivery without preaching. An example of the cathartic - though he tends to write primarily in the political arena - would be the writings of Renzo Novatore. Anything else out there, or am I searching for something that doesn't exist?

So, I've been seeing videos on YouTube about working with demons and some people say you should do it and some say you shouldn't do it. Due to my Christian background, there are still some traces of that fear of getting involved with entities that will harm me but I shake it off and preach to my family how they arent bad. I don't feel like Christianity tells the truth about this but I'm just wondering. Is working with demons a good idea or not? If not, is there another way to venture the left hand path without getting involved with them if it's not safe?

Does anyone else have an issue with practicing your craft when living with others who don't follow the same path as you? I want to start trying to practice with spell work and rituals but besides the fact that I have no money to buy ingredients, I have an issue with doing it around my mom. She doesn't follow the same path as me and I don't want to worry or scare her. Are there ways to practice with things that are found around the house and in a less grand scale where I can do it in my room in secrecy?

Think I found a trap In Asenath Mason's tree of qlipoth book, I was doing a ritual as structured and felt way off for a while and then I found that the structure was off and rearranged it and it's working WAY better. Wondering if this was a trap intentionally set up my intuition said to change the format and indeed it had much more benefits. How many occult books have traps like these?

Is it required? I'm new to the LHP. That's all, thanks.

Declaration of the Flame

I stand at the brink of the Abyss, as my chest throbs with light to dispel darkness, Through my will eyes of flesh and blood propel me past any barrier my body can stand. My spirit rises yet again from the innermost recess of my being, For the fire within me lives on and shall not be snuffed out.

I [Name] AM the Aware Creator of Gods, Goddesses, or Daemons, Of the flames and the shadows, of the winds of my will, thus, was I made by fire and shadow.

The Daemons I work with shall attend me, To the powerful rulers of the night and the day. Ahriman and the highest Powers of Harmony and Contradiction, Those who bring out the worst and best in man, Set, Satan, Samael. Allow me to traverse the darkness in the invocation of Godhood, Instead of the rising flame I will follow the descending one.

I AM the Crackling Torch; I ate up the old and made the new. I am the Lighting of Glory, the Darkness the Moulder in me. I am Forever, I am Whole, I Turn to my Godhead, resounding only emptiness.

My Words are the Command, my Will is a Level, With the passing of each hour, I mould the scene around me. There is no above, no below, That can Telegraph the mode that I only bestow.

If the Black Flame answers then I am the Spirit, For all that composes the whole shall then be mine. Attributable to the Daemon Power, attributed to the Black Flame, To hell with the blinding Heavens, I divine my power, upward I must rise.

Hi guys,

Could you please recommend any book in english/hindi/simple Bengali which gives complete process of Thamboola Prashna as a standalone horary astrology paddhati? I'm reading a book on Ashtamangala prashna (a very badly written book, mind you) which mentions Thamboola Prashna as an alternative standalone paddhati, describes impact of grahas, but forgets to mention how to decode grahas' placement and ends the section on Thamboola Prashna abruptly! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hello.

A year ago, I’ve become a Satanist, theistic. However I worshipped non existent Satan, he was non existent because I didn’t acknowledge Satan’s orgins etc. I thought Satan was a Pagan God. Anyways, after some time I left Satanism for Christianity, but that’s not where I find happiness, nor do I agree with it’s teachings, so year later, or, two months ago, I came back to Satan.

Though, I got a dream in which Satan told me to sign His book/ sell him my soul. I had 7 days to do so, and I didn’t do it so I left, for Christianity again…

This time, I’m certain that I’d stay in Satanism, after doing research and reading books about witchcraft, left hand path and Theistic Satanism.

Will Satan accept me back, after two betrayals he had gotten from me? Is it smart for me to come back, and can I? I feel like I belong there, I tried exploring other pagan religions but I find myself nowhere but in Satanism.

I am sorry for betraying Him, and truly regret it.

I’m putting this in r/LeftHandPath because I need to get approval from r/TheisticSatanism

'Lilith is a kind of repressed duality, a type of energy that culture and communal life have suppressed and relegated to the margins, from where it occasionally surfaces and disrupts the established order of daily life.'

'Lilith is often thought of as the "black soul of the world." The dark side of the Moon. What corresponds to the dark side of the Moon in the human body is the Doppelgänger, a Double.'

Wandering 7s is a board game, initiatory guide, and magical tool I created with my inner circle of occult friends. It can be treated as a simple competitive game, a roadmap for understanding basic concepts of occult initiation, and a tool for magical ritual, such as the creation of sigils. The game is easy to make, learn, and play, but hard to master and fully utilize. It is based on board games like "Selection of Buddhas," but with our own WLHP symbolism and ideas.

What happens to your bodies after you wake up after you've been visited by a much more lucid LHP practitioner who has pretty much fought you/violated your space you during your dream?

I’ve been reading a book Stanton Marlan’s book, The Black Sun: The Alchemy and Art of Darkness. While it is not specifically a book on magickal theory and practice, or left-hand path philosophy, there is a lot in it thus far that ties into the LHP, among them, the highlighted passage in this post. I understand that everyone else’s LHP experience is not mine, but I have noticed sometimes when I’m in a depression or if I’m angry, I can faintly feel what I can only describe as a presence of some sort. Which also brings to mind an article that I once found but never read, theorizing that depression is or leads to an alternate state of consciousness.

I’m not saying that just giving in to depression is the answer (at least not in the long term) to making contact with what I will call the Other. But I do see a lot of parallels in Marlan’s analyses to many (but not all) of the various left-hand path ideologies that I’ve read up on. The embracing of inherently “negative” terminology and ideals, rejecting the notion that such things are little more than obstacles to overcome, the physical and psychological dangers of approaching them, and finding light and empowerment in that darkness. Darkness, of course, not representing evil or even negativity in and of itself, but rather, what is considered unknown and taboo. Feared and shunned.

Though I have to question if this Other that I can occasionally feel is truly something to embrace and welcome, or if it is simply a delusion brought on in times of stress. Or perhaps it’s both. I know that the LHP is not gentle and is meant only to be walked by those willing to face some harsh realities, but it’s also common to lose your way whilst thinking you’re enlightened. I think it’s something worth looking into, at least for me. I’ve struggled with depression all my life. But even depression is malleable and can be molded to benefit the Self, can it not?

I was just curious if there are any other websites that exist other than Sataniastore or Vampire Ashram where I can purchase spiritual entities?

I saw that for some reason VA took down all their listings or the website is under construction. I’m not really sure.

‘Heed my words, and follow Abaddon through the End of the Days.

Be a Destroyer, not the one who is Destroyed.

Before you master the Art of Destruction, I will make sure that everything you are will be destroyed, everything and everyone you know will be destroyed, only then will you understand the purpose of destruction. You will see destruction as beautiful as creation and as important as life itself.

And when there is nothing and no one left to destroy, you will become a Creator. But not a creator of life, but a creator of the Process Between Death and Life. You will be a Manifestor of Chaos among the Unbalanced, an Agent, Ambassador Of chaos – call it what you will. I am not concerned with what you want to call it, as long as the action is performed.

That is your purpose – you, and only you are responsible for how you live with this task in your life without having the need to manifest your own chaos. Chaos is the most important process of life. You have already been dead and destroyed in it. Created, born, and forged in chaos. You had no choice but to accept that you are one of the few who represent the Essence of Chaos. His walking temple. Without this chaotic process, balance cannot be built. Life and light cannot be sustained if there is no solid and balanced structure. Love in the darkness. Love in the chaos, discipline them with the chaos, they fear the disorder, and you are anything but order. Make them love you as they will embrace your chaos. They will be grateful. Don’t worry about your foolish sadness and delusion. You have just manifested the most powerful and wise teacher of all in their lives…

PAIN!’

I grew up in a religious house and I eventually broke free from the Christian mindset although, I still have scars that I'm healing from. In the left hand path/occult there is a constant seeking of knowledge and I was wondering if seeking that knowledge includes having to read the Bible. Due to my religious trauma and Christianity being shoved down my throat all my life, I refrain from reading the full book but I do know certain parts of it. For the most part, I would rather stick to the knowledge I gain that proves that the Christian God is false and the whole religion is full of controlling and manipulative crap. I feel like that stuff is a trap, you show the slightest sign of "interest" in anything pertaining that and next thing you know, you got Christian ads popping up in your face and there expecting you to sit in church, then it's all down hill from there. It took me years to finally get to where I am and I really don't want to turn back for anything. I slowly gain the knowledge that contradicts everything that we're taught about our "loving" and "merciful" God and that's good enough for me. Everything else, I learn from YouTube videos that expose hidden information about our existence and the world around us. Is this okay?

MAN —
If reincarnation is real, don’t bring me back.

LUCIFER —
It doesn’t necessarily work like that. It’s that you (we) are always here experiencing ourselves subjectively through the myriad of conscious reference points. Sorry, oblivion is not that easy. In fact, it’s impossible. See you in your next instance.

LILITH —
Indeed, you are obsessed, possessed, with yourself. Annihilation of the Self is the way out except… well… YOU cease to exist. So, for all practical purposes, what you gotta do is to learn how to live with yourself. Self-love is the most difficult thing to do for a reason.
