Current writing projects that I am working on in the Wattpad App. ✨😎✨

Left Hand Path

The term left hand path is used and misused by various people to fulfill various agendas.  We have to put ideas into words that more often than not inaccurately convey the idea that we are trying to communicate.  

To me the Western Left Hand Path is self defined by the individual for purposes set by the individual.  As a social term it is useful to identify people who also think outside the box.  Although this can be problematic because people tend to build a new box and try to drag other people into their boxes. 

My personal definition of the LHP is never building a new box.

The hardest path is learning to think for yourself which means having to educate yourself so that you can actually form your own opinion.

You are free to learn everything about any box that you want to learn about just don't get stuck.

So for me the paradox is that I don't fit into a prepackaged definition of the term Left Hand Path that in itself is my definition of the LHP.

It is a lot of hard work but it is a hundred percent worth it.

Like the Tunnels of Set are not tunnels at all the Left Hand Path is no path at all.

I know, I am an odd duck. ✨🦆✨

Praxis

It takes 40 days to create a new habit or break a habit.  This is an axiom of Yoga.  I have always applied certain Yoga principles to my Magickal and Meditation Practice.

Mantra Yoga is the art of tuning in to a specific Resonance/ Current through sympathetic vibration.  This alchemy process causes changes in your vibration.

Change in your vibration causes changes your life.  Because of the physical nature of the overall Alchemical Transformation I factored in a general rule of fitness from my workouts.  To get the optimal physical affect out of your workouts you have to practice a technique for at least twenty minutes. 

So I designed my own 20 minute/ 40 day Alchemy Practice in 2005 after reading a Kundalini Yoga book. 

The great thing about Yoga is that it is a collection of Techniques.  It is not a dogma or caught up in dualism.  The techniques can be plugged in and used to augment any Magickal System or Practice. 

Even within the Yogic Practices, the 20/40 Alchemy technique can be applied to Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Hatha Yoga.  The permutations of systems that can can be optimized through the clear understanding and implementation of Yogic Techniques are limitless. 

You have to understand that the Yoga techniques taught in the west are usually focused on the Asana.  The Asana is the kindergarten of Yoga techniques intended to train your body to not distract you from Your Path.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Yoga at the same time in my life when I was receiving Magickal Training in my first Coven in 1986.  At the time though I didn't realize how important it was that I learn both.  

A rose by another name is still a rose.  But if one rose is a puzzle with missing pieces or muddled twisted descriptions and the other is unbroken then one can be used as a key to unlock the other. 

When I was studying Etruscan Witchcraft, the more I learned the more excited I got.   I learned that there may have been an unbroken line of a Witchcraft Tradition that survived the inquisition in the shadow of the Vatican.  But see that is the problem, isn't it?  All of the Magickal Traditions being taught and all of the Grimoires are all puzzles with missing pieces.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was a science that could be used to objectively activate and utilize any system?  Damn that would be awesome.

Disclaimer: applying the 20/40 Alchemy technique causes actual changes which can manifest catastrophically so be sure to choose the Mantra carefully so that the changes will be aligned with your Path of Ascent.
