What is your view of atheism and atheist?

I'am wondering, do you see atheists as deluded because they dont believe in demons and Magik (at least most of them)?

What do you think will happen to them when they die ?

Do you aknowledge that it is thanks to atheism and secular people that you gained the right to openly practice rituals and other non-conventional forms of spirituality ?

Seeking a bit of guidance

I find myself in a peculiar spot. I've been inadvertently on the left-hand path most of my life. It's just my nature. Now I'm wanting to get serious about self-deification, channeling the darkness in me to move me forward rather than towards self-destruction. What complicates things is that I don't acknowledge any deities or spirits. I guess that makes me sort of a left-hand Buddhist, if there is such a thing. Which is why I'm here, to find out if this exists or if I have to figure it out on my own.

The Left Hand Path is NOT a political movement.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but there's a lot of people who think that this is a political Sub and not just that, but many people think we're affiliated with Leftist causes. WHAT!? I fully understand that the recent election nonsense has a lot of people on edge and everyone is freaking out. I could understand this strange attitude if this was the Satanic Temple Sub, I, fortunately, haven't seen anyone posting this nonsense on this Sub but when I browse many political Subs quite a few people believe that we're Leftists. I can't figure out why this is, in the few months I've been browsing this Sub most people keep there politics to themselves. Why the Hell do some many people think we're liberals?

In Daath

Hello, about 6 months ago I entered a Qlipha Daath , as my first Qlipha , and after 6 months of practicing Magick, and I know that it wasn't wise, neither safe, but at the time I felt like it was right thing to do and I still think that, even when I'm not astral traveler yet. So, my question is, what was your practice when crossing this Qlipha? When did you invoke Choronzon or Shugal? Im reciting daily prayer to Choronzon and got some effects but I don't know if that's enough. Also, found this interesting info: "Another image that appears in Maldoror frequently is the frog or toad. In the Typhonian Gnosis the toad represents the "leapers" or voltiguers on the backside of the Tree of Life. Instead of having to traverse all the tunnels on the nightside of the Tree, the magician assumes the form of a frog and makes a leap up the Tree of Death. The Vaultiguers' method is used by Bertiaux's Black Snake Cultists and Hecate is their goddess. According to Grant: "She is one of the most important figures in the Draconian Cult, being symbolic of the Transformer from watery or astral existence to earth or tangible being." - are you aware of consequences of my deed if that's a real thing? Thank you

SPIRIT OF SACRED POWER

In the expansive realm of demonology, one unpopular figure stands as both majestic and enigmatic,that is Demon SUSTUGRIEL,the sovereign of shadows, wields the scepter of transformation, beckoning souls to the crossroads of destiny.Through his darkened gaze, new beginnings emerge, where fear becomes courage, and chaos breeds clarity,he is a demon of high ranking and immense influence,demon SUSTUGRIEL is considered to be a teacher and keeper of esoteric and forbidden knowledge within hell,with a specific dominion over the arts,magic, sorcery, forbidden knowledge, wisdom and granter of familiar spirits and invisible magic protectors. He appears as a man with long robes sitted in a golden chair holding keys and a book,this would represent many things to a magician,to me,keys could mean he can open or lock any chapters and circumstances in your life,the book signifies knowledge and power,he is said to give humans the unknown issues that they may not be aware about,he can pierce the dimensions of the future and see everything regarding someone's life both the past and the future ,he always has a commanding presence and a voice that echoes the sound of a multitude of waters.He is known to possess an intricate understanding of all arts and sciences, while also having the ability to reveal hidden and secret things to any ones he sees worthy of his teachings,he imparts knowledge about arts, science, and other occult subjects, demonstrating his vast intellectual capacity. Yet, his influence extends beyond this, bestowing dignity and conferring and confirming titles, enabling his followers to gain a certain level of recognition or prominence.He is also known for his ability to provide guidance on important matters, offering insights that can clear paths of uncertainties. He helps his followers in decision-making, empowering them with the clarity to make the right choices.Another beneficial powers is granting titles, bestowing honor and recognition. This aspect signifies his influence over matters of respect and societal standing,however, the most profound of all is his power to unveil the unknown. He offers knowledge about hidden things, opening up opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. This knowledge, however, should be sought and utilized responsibly.Not only does he command a vast number of demonic entities, but he also possesses the ability to grant invisibility to those who invoke him, and endow them with wisdom, knowledge, and the capability to manipulate others. All these qualities make Demon SUSTUGRIEL an entity both feared and revered within the realm of demonology.

Below is a way to summon sustugriel

Summoning Demon SUSTUGRIEL requires a respectful and meticulous approach. Preparations involve crafting his sigil, usually drawn on consecrated paper and setting up a quiet, sacred space where you won't be disturbed. Cleanse the space of any negative energy with sage or do the lesser banishing ritual.During the summoning, Demon SUSTUGRIEL sigil should be held aloft. Clear your mind and focus your intent, visualizing Demon SUSTUGRIEL in your mind's eye. In a firm but respectful tone, call out his name, repeating it until you feel his presence. Always remember, summoning should be done with respect and the right intent, understanding the implications and potential consequences of calling forth such a powerful entity.for example you could say as below during invocation with the summoning enn

"O MAGNUM SUSTUGRIEL VENI SAPIENTIAM TUAM (enn)

Then when you feel his presence say

"Dear Sustugriel,master and teacher of magic art and forbidden wisdom, I invoke your presence. Let your wisdom enlighten me and your power guide me. Come forth,accept me to be under your guidance and watch,allow me to gain knowledge in ways unknown to others,dear SUSTUGRIEL, from the depths of the shadow realms, make yourself known to me. SUSTUGRIEL, I respectfully call upon you,teach me and grant me the ability to understand magic on a deep level,bless me with magic familiars to protect me and guide me in my endeavors,may this ritual work to the greater good and benefit of both me ,you SUSTUGRIEL and everyone".You can just craft your petition and ritual with what feels right for you but respectable to the spirit.

The planets associated with sustugriel are both Sun and mars,this means you can summon him either on Sunday or Tuesday,try to do so during the astrological hours of sun or mars to ensure a potent connection.Its important to remember both mars and sun are strong and melific planets,The astrological sign attributed to SUSTUGRIEL is Aries.In astrology sun is always exalted in Aries while mars feels free and functions best at aries,a cardinal fire sign,it's characterized by assertiveness, initiative, and leadership—traits associated with SUSTUGRIEL persona. This signs association with this powerful spirit further underscores his dominant presence and the inherent power to instigate change and influence outcomes.

Let's talk about offerings Offerings to SUSTUGRIEL often take a variety of forms. They may include libations of potent alcohol or the burning of specific types of incense, such as Dragon's Blood or Oudh, typically any insence associated with mars or sun will work well with him,Some practitioners may also offer gold to SUSTUGRIEL, or items symbolically related to the Sun or mars,I once made cinnamon tea mixed with ginger and honey and he appreciated alot.black coffee does work well because if it's attributes with planet mars.These offerings are gestures of respect and honor, serving to appease SUSTUGRIEL and garner his favor, however it's wise to negotiate with him because he might ask specific things for someone,for me he gave me information to share about him and place and stick seals in public areas. My personal advice would be as follows regarding this spirit, he is ancient and wise,be straight to the point,know what you want and don't ask many things at once,work on on goal at a time and move to another goal,he's a teacher of the occult and this means like all teachers,once in a while he will test you,which is a good way to measure students performance and level of understanding,be ready for growth,he will pull out things that might not be useful in your life and it could be painful at the moment but in the long run you'll appreciate,he's a teacher of all things related to occult and forbidden knowledge to both beginner and advanced practitioners,for those who made a step of working with him will always find treasures they didn't know that existed in the first place. I will attach two of the sigils for this powerful and ancient demon

Nicked my finger during Kali Worship Ritual - Meaning

Hi all, I was performing Kali Puja for Diwali yesterday and I accidentally cut my finger. There was blood. I put a band aid and carried on.

However, my intuition says this is linked to Kali Ma.

I have been a devotee of Ma since childhood but recently I have felt closer to her even more. My practices combine a bit both Vamachara (Left Hand Path in Tantra) and mainstream.

I have been trying to clear some blockages around my manifestations for a while. I read somewhere that when such a thing happens, it usually is a sign from Ma or her dakinis/yoginis.

Can someone advise me on this? Has this happened to anyone before?

Practicing while pretending to belong to a conventional religion

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?

Is there anything out there like this?

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?

Working with demons

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?

Practice in Secrecy

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?

Traps in occult books?

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?

Declaration of Godhood/Declaration of the Flame/Declaration of the Conscious God/Goddess/Daemon/Deity/Anti-Deity Chant

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.

Looking for a comprehensive Prashna Astrology book to teach the process

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! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Can I go back to Lord Satan?

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

A View of Lilith - Who She Is and What She Represents

'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.'

Satan is compelling this Mid-east escalation as a warning, urging that Armaaruss be created before the summer of 2025 when Mars goes within 30 degrees of the lunar node. Now more than ever is the time to consider this. Just draw an image of Mars/Ares/Horus and post it online
