ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank the entire left-hand path community for
everything that they have done to help spread and share their
knowledge of magick. But most importantly, I would like to thank
them for their guidance, especially guidance from the amazing
teachers of Become A Living God such as E.A. Koetting, S. Ben
Qayin, and Asenath Mason. Without their gnosis I wouldn't be able
to become the black magician that I am today, and I would
certainly have not been able to create this book without their
knowledge.

PREFACE

You have chosen to read this book of my experiences in the left-


hand path, so that you may create your own experiences on your
journey towards ascension, or you may have just begun your
journey and you require an introduction perhaps. The left-hand
path is still greatly misunderstood and unknown to many, while
being discovered, studied, and understood by a handful of the
daring and curious dabblers or scholars and intellectuals who
desire the realm of the occult to escape the forces of the mundane,
especially that of dogmatic forces of major religions. The purpose
of the left-hand path isn't at all about escaping but it is about
gaining powers previously thought impossible. Individuals such as
myself have sought after these forbidden fruits of knowledge and
powers day in and day out in archives of universities, and even out
on the field of archaeological sites which continue to unearth texts
left behind by ancient civilizations, containing knowledge that was
once made forbidden by religious leaders during the 15th century
because they feared such knowledge and abilities, thus hid it or
destroyed the evidence to continue controlling the masses.
However, it is now the 21st century and thankfully the age of
gaining information and knowledge is triumphant. We are now free
to roam wherever we please in all aspects of life, most importantly
spiritually, with little concern of facing condemnation from the
opposition. This book is representative of my duty to not only
continue to pursue magical workings of the left-hand path but to
enlighten you the reader who is just beginning or has been on the
path for some time, with more in-depth knowledge that was once
secret and personal, but is now available to all for unlocking
greater potential of one's path towards the dark abyss of hidden
truths that are waiting to be rediscovered. In this book, I will teach
you a little bit about myself before I found the left-hand path and
how I saw the world before discovering it. Not only will I provide
personal experiences but I will most definitely provide you with
my teachings and methods that are traditional, but are customized.

PREFACE

It is always recommended that magical practitioners create a


personalized and customized system that fits their needs. When
workings of magick are customized it helps to create more trust
and confidence in one's work, and shuns any thoughts of doubt
when performing workings of magick, thus making it more
flexible and unlimited, with that said let us begin.

INTRODUCTION
Before you begin learning about my experiences in the left-
hand path, it is important that you first learn about how I
discovered the left-hand path. Learning about someone is very
important and it is something that everyone should do before
learning about the subject involved. It is very important to create a
greater understanding about the mentor, in this case a writer and
practitioner from the dark arts. History hovers over all subjects in
the world of academia, and history is just as important in the left-
hand path as well. when we are studying we are not just learning
about the subject but most importantly the people who wrote down
the information regarding that subject. And when we learn about
the people who created or otherwise teach about these various
fields of study, we can become more intrigued with the subject
especially if it is about something you enjoy learning about.
I will now provide you with a brief history about myself and
how I discovered the left-hand path. During my adolescence, I
always wanted to understand what made things work and how our
existence came into being. When asking friends, they had their
own ideas that were more than less serious, and when it came to
asking my parents, the answer was always "it was done by God". I
couldn't simply settle for that and I knew that this answer was
more than nothing but a deceitful way to ignore a truly serious
question that for centuries has been a discussion and debate among
philosophers, scholars, and theologians of various creeds. Much
later, I would finally come to realize that the answer is simply in
the eyes of the beholder, that being ourselves. Because our own
reality is just as much as real as the next person, and we can mold
it and shape it to however we see fit. Therefore, questioning
existence is part of discovering one's own being, and it should be
free and open to interpretation. However, there has

9
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

always been that opposing force that makes our search for the
answers to the big questions limited. These opposing forces are
that of dogma. Dogma can be found in all walks of life from the
scientific communities and mostly in the religious communities.
Dogma is all about a strict, ball and chain system of rules,
principles or set of principles laid down by an authority that are
considered incontrovertibly true.
This kind of mentality causes closed mindedness, and not
wanting to accept other forms of philosophy and reasoning. Many
individuals with this mentality ignore the alternatives which are
new and creative or are ancient and forgotten systems of
knowledge, which uses tools that are far from tools found in
traditional science and religion. This ancient form of science and
technology could quite possibly help further explain the mechanics
of our world and beyond. This primitive form of science can also
be what we refer to as occult practices, which comes back to the
term that magical practitioners have known for ages as magick.
While science has most definitely proven and provided us with
amazing fields of study such as particle physics and string theory,
it has also helped to create computer technology, a technology that
converts the power of electricity into letters on a display in which
we can understand and manipulate.
This is a step in the right direction to discover what is hiding
within us and in the universe, but for now, these tools of science
are very much limited to this physical plain of existence. Modern
day scientists will only try to explain the origins of this world with
what they consider justifiable answers, for example, theories
deriving from particle physics, or cosmological theories such as
the big bang theory. I will be fair and say that it is a good start for
finding facts and answers to the big question. Much of these
theories are in a way like pieces to a puzzle, the same can be said
about various religions with their workings and experiences with
the divine. Both worlds have parts to the schematic along with the
tools to alter and decipher this reality whether it has to do with the
physical plane or the astral plane. With that said, it is time to give
magick a chance.

10
INTRODUCTION

This old form of science and technology has been around


longer than modern science and many other religions that later
came into being, especially like the Abrahamic faiths, which
shunned the occult world for so long. However, these religions can
be credited with providing many truths similar to previous
mythologies like the story of Prometheus that can be relatable to
stories found in Christianity. A few stories that I prefer are from
the Quran and the Bible in which angels clash against each other,
one group loyal to the tyrant god who wanted Lucifer to bow
before humanity, while the other angels pledged loyalty to the
rightfully rebellious angel Lucifer. At the end Lucifer and his
angels were forever cast out of heaven and into the abyss,
however, the battle didn't stop there, revenge had to be taken, and
it came with a swift victory, when the serpent gave Adam and Eve
the forbidden fruit of knowledge in the garden of Eden enraging
the tyrant god who cast Adam and Eve out, just as he had done to
Lucifer and his angels, thus creating a divide. It was this moment
that gave birth to the left-hand path, and strength to the tree of
Qliphoth also known as the tree of death, where Iblis Shaitan
Lucifer resides with Lilith, opposed to the forces of the tree of life,
known as the Sefirot.
All this in order for truth to be revealed, all this is for the
freedom of knowledge and wisdom, and all this to break away
from a dictator that hides his true intent of control and slavery.
This is where we arrive to become students of the left-hand path to
walk the narrow path that is draconian but is that which leads us to
our destination for the true intent of becoming living, breathing
gods. You may find this puzzling at first, asking yourself, "how is
that possible?". It is very simple, believing in your own intuition
and in general, yourself are the very first steps towards becoming
god-like. When you no longer need to rely on anyone to sustain
yourself, like relying on the Abrahamic god whom could care less
about your freedom, gives you the ability to become completely
autonomous, a characteristic which gods have. In accordance with
that, it is all up to you to destroy the shackles of blind faith and
mindless servitude, to begin ascending to godhood, and to begin
experiencing freedom and power provided by the Qliphotic realms,

11
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

that wait for you filled with challenging ritual workings and rites
which leads us to further ascension.
This will be the point in your journey which will require you to
sacrifice time and energy, for the most part, it will be a time of
trials, more specifically trials of mental and physical strength.
Personally, it took me some time before I decided to begin the
draconian journey of the Qliphoth. Why, you may ask, because
such an undertaking requires research and hours of study before
committing to practices that one does not know and fully
understand. That is why studying and research exist to answer the
questions and concerns regarding the subject, and so that we can
finally arrive at our intended destination prepared, armed and
ready with knowledge and the correct tools needed to perform
rituals and rites without hesitation and feeling lost. To make your
journey of the left-hand path more simplistic it is recommended to
find reading materials. There are free reading materials in the form
of PDF files that cover a wide spectrum of detailed information of
the left-hand path. Joining social media groups such as that of
professional black magicians like S. Ben Qayin's brotherhood of
Qayin will provide you with not only reading materials but other
practitioners who pass around vast amounts of knowledge.
There are also published books that cover the dark arts in a
more constructive and professional manner combining history and
practices, making it more of a hands-on approach. One such book
is called the Qabalah Qliphoth and Goetic Magic by Thomas
Karlsson. This book covers many aspects of magick and its
historic roots, the book also provides a great deal of history
regarding not just the Qliphoth but the Sefirot as well. This book is
great for building a strong foundation, it will most definitely get
you prepared for committing and performing rites and rituals.
These books will also introduce you to entities behind much of the
magical forces that many seasoned magicians talk about. These
entities are commonly known as demons or Djinn. These ancient
forces are allies of the left-hand path who are capable of many
abilities since they are bearers of ancient wisdom. More
information can be found regarding the djinn in books

12
INTRODUCTION

known as grimoires. These books are of the dark arts as well and
have been passed down generation to generation containing
instructions to evoke and invoke these ancient entities. However,
invoking such forces should be taken with extreme caution since
djinn are entities as old as time itself with powers beyond our
capacity that can result with dire consequences such as causing
harm to the magician.
The oldest grimoires trace back to ancient times originating
from authority figures such as King Solomon who, as stated in
legend, was given the power to control the seventy-two-infernal
djinn by God, who were forced to complete agendas of the right-
hand path, until the djinn escaped from their imprisonment and
enslavement sometime later. Stories of the king's experiences with
the djinn can be found in the Testament of Solomon, The Key of
Solomon, The Lesser Key of Solomon, and especially the
miscelaneo de salomon. I would like to note that miscelaneo de
salomon can be found in its modern form within The Book of
Smokeless Fire written by S. Ben Qayin, containing vital
knowledge about the seventy-two-infernal djinn that cannot be
found elsewhere. To sum it up, there are countless books
containing knowledge of the left-hand path and the best thing to do
is find reading material that is suitable for you. Because at the end
of the day it's all about what you desire. Your desires are the first
steps towards becoming a magician in the left-hand path, and in
this book I will cover the following subjects, creating tools of
magick, divination and curse crafting with tarot, discovering ley
lines, sacred geometry, sigil crafting, meditation and astral
projection, an introduction to the Qliphoth, and lastly writings of
my philosophy.

DISCOVERING AND CREATING
TOOLS OF MAGICK
For centuries magicians from all backgrounds have been using
various tools of different forms to shape and mold the world
around them, to interact with the forces externally and project
forces within to connect and link the forces that exist in the outside
world to the magician. Traditionally magicians have used wands,
athames, a type of ceremonial blade, swords, and scepters to direct
their intent that is built upon the thoughts and emotions associated
with whatever ritual work they are in the process of fulfilling. It is
important to consider what type of materials the tool of choice is
made of, commonly athames are made of metal, stone or bone,
while wands and scepters are traditionally made from wood. I
would recommend to those beginning their journey to have at least
a metal athame for making blood offerings and a wooden wand for
ritual work. In regards to wands, there are specific types of woods
that are used to create wands and scepters especially for the left-
hand path adept.
These various types of woods contain magical properties from
within nature. Woods that are dark, dense, and heavy, that originate
from places such as deserts, canyons, and deep dark forests are
symbolic of the nature and behavior of the left-hand path,
especially wood ascertained from dead trees which are symbolic of
the tree of Qliphoth. Common woods that are used in the left-hand
path include ebony and oak, however, you can also use woods such
as Desert Ironwood also known as Olneya, Snake wood, a dense
and uniquely patterned wood resembling the scales of a snake, and
Leadwood, a far more dense and elusive type of timber having the
luster of lead, the infamous toxic heavy metal.
Once you have chosen the wood of your liking, you will need
tools for wood working to create your wand, it can be as simple as
using a whittling knife or power tools. Once completed it is

15
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

a common practice to attach gemstones to the wand or scepter,


since witches have been known to attach various types of
gemstones to their tools to enhance the magical properties of the
tool. Smokey Quartz, Amethyst, Tourmaline, Citrine, or any type
of crystal for that matter can be used for magical workings. Each
and every crystal has its own magical properties ranging from
cleansing, clarity, charging energy, and so much more. It
is recommended that you find the correct gemstone for your wand,
from the vast library of crystal gems. At the end, your
craftsmanship has paid off, now that you have created your first
tool of magick.
Besides these types of magical tools, there are tools aimed more
towards rituals and are most often stationary objects that are used
to direct forces of magick and the magician’s intent. Such tools
include candles, in which various colors symbolize the purpose
and intent of the ritual or other path working that is being
performed. Black candles symbolize that which is hidden in the
shadows and calls out to the hidden wisdom to come out from the
dark unknown depths. Black candles are also used for creating
baneful workings. Red candles symbolize the burning, passionate
energy and flames within one's core, red candles will usually be
used when in a state of strong emotions. White candles symbolize
clarity and are used in meditation. And finally, gold candles are
candles that symbolize illumination, and are used to see the path
ahead, especially for gazing into the future when performing works
of divination and clairvoyance. Other tools include incense and
blood, which are much more than tools, and are more like
offerings and sacrificial fuels for ritual workings, and have been
specifically used since ancient times to attract entities during the
process of invocation.
This next magical tool dates back to ancient times, it is clay.
ancient civilizations ranging from ancient Mesopotamian people
like the Babylonians and Assyrians to people of Egypt, India and
elsewhere, have used clay to construct tablets for reading and
writing as well as creating sacred statues and geometric figures for
their ancient sacrificial rites and magical practices. Clay is a tool
that is simple yet effective,

16
DISCOVERING AND CREATING TOOLS OF MAGICK

it's ancient primordial origin gives it properties of natural yet


powerful energy. When we use clay we connect with the Earth, and
when we connect to the Earth, our rituals become greatly
empowered, giving us the ability to connect with other worldly
forces. The last tool of magick shares similar magical properties
to that of clay, it is water. In magick water can be consecrated so
that it can provide energy in ritual work. Simply place your water
under a full moon or even a solar eclipse to charge the water with
the energy of celestial objects.

DIVINATION AND CURSE CRAFTING
WITH TAROT
Tarot cards have been one of the most iconic tools of divination
used throughout the centuries. Originally tarot cards were used as
playing cards during the mid-15th century in different parts of
Europe to play card games such as Italian tarocchini and French
tarot. However, it was discovered that these cards possessed
powers that some considered to be supernatural, and during the
18th century, it began to be used for divination, creating the studies
of tarotology and cartomancy, which is a form of fortune telling.
Different types of cards, like tarot cards appeared soon after
playing cards were first introduced into Europe during the 14th
century. After a few centuries practitioners of cartomancy were
most popularly known as cartomancers who combined fortune
telling and more complex methods of divination. In our case it is
used by the left-hand path not only for divination but in
customized systems within magick for the purpose of creating
baneful magick, which will be further discussed in this chapter.
Using tarot cards is one of the oldest yet more common forms
for performing divination, these cards are very effective for
seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural
means. These cards can also be used to symbolize or represent a
magician's intent, to gain things such as fortunes, healthy
longevity, strength and so much more. But they can also be used to
gain powers of death, or other powers for producing baneful
magick from cards like the tower and the devil. The traditional
tarot deck has a major and minor set of cards called the Arcana
cards. The major Arcana cards are referred to as the Trumps, it
consists of The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The
Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot,
Strength, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged
Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The
Moon, The Sun, Judgment, And the World. While the Minor
Arcana cards are referred to as the Court cards, consisting of suits.

19
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

There are four suits, the Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups.
Each card has its own unique meaning and image, especially if its
from the original Rider-Waite tarot deck. That being said, it is
important to know what each Arcana represents. The Trumps
represent spiritual energy, universal energy, and states of higher
consciousness. These are cards that are associated with entities that
can communicate through the planes, this means that they can
possibly provide the practitioner with guidance. When these cards
turn up in a reading it most likely represents that you have a strong
connection with the spiritual realm, and when Trump cards show
up more often it can also mean that forces beyond you are
attempting to assist you through life and even in your path towards
ascension. A great example of this would be like your first steps in
the Qliphotic realm of Lilith, who also guides the adept through
the other Qliphotic realms, providing the adept with advice. And
lastly experienced sorcerers state that the Trumps indicate one's
fate and destiny, good or bad, there is still time to change the
outcome.
Courts contain four suites as mentioned above, they are the
Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups. These four suites are
associated to parts of our lives that require change or to confirm
and clarify our goals and achievements. When these cards appear
in a reading they help to provide more details, especially when the
reading has to do with questions and concerns that you have
regarding your magical workings. Court cards are also used for
addressing the mundane, everyday aspects of your life. Court cards
are just as important as Trump cards, in that they possess
numerological value. If you are familiar with numerology, tarot
cards are more than capable of being used for numerology, because
these cards not only possess the powers of divination but the
power of numbers, a foundational part of our lives and the universe
itself. When performing a reading, you can add up the card values
which will give you a more in depth meaning for your reading,
helping you to understand it more clearly. Besides numbers, These
seventy-eight tarot cards have a very decorative and colorful
appearance, apart from the images on the cards, which you can
interpret however you wish, based on your

20
DIVINATION AND CURSE CRAFTING WITH TAROT

thoughts, perceptions, and emotions, but the colors on the cards


really have something important to say.
In magical practice, various colors correspond to the four main
elements, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Colors that correlate to Earth
are green and brown. Colors that correlate to Air are white, yellow,
and blue. Colors that correlate to water are blue but also brown and
green, which symbolizes the aquatic vegetation and ocean floor.
And lastly, Colors that correlate to fire are red, orange, blue, and
purple symbolizing the intensity of the flames. Each element is a
force of nature; therefore, each element has its own meaning and
quality. Earth is grounding and it represents the foundational
starting point for life to grow. It provides nourishment to all living
things, however it also contains dangerous elements, therefore
forces of balance accommodate it. Air is the breath of life and it
symbolizes the spirit, air provides oxygen and other gases to
maintain life, however, it helps spread fire quickly, therefore forces
of balance accommodate it. Water is one of the primary ingredients
for life to exist, it covers seventy percent of the earth's surface in
which marine life thrive within it. However too much water can be
dangerous, causing flooding, and destruction, therefore forces of
balance accommodate it. Fire is warmth and it represents the
flames of strength within us. Fire symbolizes speed and a
competitive outgoing spirit, however, fire is also known to cause
destruction, therefore forces of balance accommodate it.
Now that I have covered the history and mechanics of the tarot
cards themselves let's actually begin learning about how to use the
cards in readings and magical workings. To begin you must have a
tarot deck which comes with its own booklet, if it does not come
with a booklet there are many guide books available, the Rider-
Waite tarot deck should come with its own booklet. Now for the
reading it is recommended to place crystals on the surface where
you are performing, any crystal will help attain focus, and energy
for the cards and the reading itself, that is why many magicians
and even gypsy witches place crystals and even crystal spheres on
the table where they are performing their work. Crystal balls are
not only great for scrying and divination but are great for focusing
and charging energy that empowers the practitioner.

EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

THE PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE SPREAD

Once you are prepared we can begin. Your first tarot reading
will consist of only three cards, it is a reading to view your past,
present, and future. Begin by shuffling the cards as many times as
you would like, once you have done so place the deck face down
and spread them from right to left. Now you will choose your
cards but it is important to take your time, meditate on the deck of
cards and allow your intuition to flow freely, don't think about
which card to choose, allow your instinctive feelings to choose the
card rather than your conscious reasoning to choose for you, once
the cards have been chosen, place them in numerical order from
left to right, remaining face down. Now turn your first card face
up, this card represents your past and that which no longer exists,
turn the second card face up, this card represents the present, and
that which is your current status, and finally turn the last card face
up, this card represents your future which will reveal your fate and
destiny. Now that you have viewed the cards of your past, present,
and future it is important to understand each card in depth.
Afterward, close the reading by collecting the cards and shuffling
the deck and setting it face down for the next reading. There are so
many other spreads in the world of tarot such as the Celtic cross,
overcoming obstacle spreads, Feng Shui spreads, Horoscope
spreads, and so much more. I will provide one more spread that is
listed above so that you can become more comfortable when
performing readings, afterward I will provide three of my tarot
spread methods, But for now, let's take a look at a very popular
spread known as the Celtic cross spread.

THE CELTIC CROSS SPREAD

This spread is well known and is used to provide answers to


one's concerns. The layout is quite simple, and it only requires
pulling ten cards, let's begin. The first card is the significator
which represents yourself and your concerns, it is placed in the
center of the cross vertically. The second card is placed
horizontally over the first card and represents your obstacles.

22
DIVINATION AND CURSE CRAFTING WITH TAROT

The third card is placed above, north of the first and second card,
it represents what you already know about your goals. The fourth
card is placed below, south below the center, it represents the
foundation of your concerns and past influences that effect the
current situation. The fifth card is to be placed to the left, East of
the center of the cross, this card represents past situations that are
fading away. The sixth card is to be placed to the right, west of the
center, this card represents new circumstances that will arrive in
the near future. The remaining four cards will now be placed in a
vertical bar starting from bottom up, left of the cross. The seventh
card represents your current state of mind. The eighth card
represents circumstances around the situation. The ninth card
represents your hopes and fears. And last but not least the tenth
card represents the solution and outcome. Now that you have
viewed the cards it is important to understand each card in depth.
Again, close the reading by collecting the cards and shuffling the
deck and setting it face down for future readings.

CREATING A CURSE WITH TAROT, WORKINGS OF


BANEFUL MAGICK

Now that you have gained a good amount of knowledge and


experience with tarot spreads, this is the point in which I will now
begin teaching you how to create any kind of curse with tarot. For
centuries magical practitioners, especially those who work with the
dark arts, have been known for producing various forms of curses.
Those practitioners who primarily focus on creating various forms
of magical workings are referred to as magick craftsman, because
of their unique skills and abilities to produce various works of
magick including spells and curses that are potent and effective. A
curse can be as simple as imagining the destruction of your enemy,
within your mind and casting it towards them. But if you're a
visual and hands on type of magician, you may want to try
something that requires the use of objects and symbolism to
materialize your desired intent. For this curse, you will need the
following. A total of ten tarot cards, five from the major Arcana,
The Devil, Death, The Tower, The Hermit, and The Moon. And

23
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

five cards from the minor Arcana, The five of cups, three of
swords, nine of swords, ten of swords, and five of pentacles, an
image of your enemy, it is recommended to use a piece of hair or
string from their clothing, a crystal sphere for directing clarity and
energy, a black candle, and sandalwood incense to help cast the
intent of the curse.
Once you have all these tools you can begin creating the curse.
Begin by addressing your intent and the type of curse that you
would like to cast upon your enemy. This requires you to exhaust
yourself by bringing out all your energy and hatred towards your
foe. Hold up one of the ten cards that best suits your desired effect,
the image of the card is just as important as its definition. What
you perceive emotionally from within and from the card should
indicate your true feelings towards them. Light the black candle
and incense, and begin burning the image or hair while holding the
card above, and speaking out your intent of the curse with all your
strength. When you feel that the curse has been successfully
executed, end the working with three words, (it is done!).
It is important to note that the effects of a curse can take much
time and waiting for its intended effect is never a good idea, once
it has been cast it will do its job, do not doubt it! However, in some
cases when errors are made by the magician, and the intent itself
was not truly from within and genuine of emotional hatred, it will
cause the curse to not properly work or at the least weaken it, and
will not perform as intended. Sometimes disruptions may also
occur in the middle of casting a curse which obviously would
affect it negatively, therefore always be prepared and never rush
any magical workings, it is important that you find a place where it
is quiet, and it should be a place where others cannot interrupt you
when you are performing this type of working.

24
DIVINATION AND CURSE CRAFTING WITH TAROT

CURSE OUTCOME SPREAD

When working with black magick and baneful magick in general,


one must realize that it is sometimes tedious and challenging,
especially when you are just a beginner, and are probably unsure if
your intent was clear when creating a curse. But we already know
the rule, in which the magician should have no doubt in their work.
But at the same time a smart magician is cautious and always
wants everything to run smoothly as possible, caring about your
work even after it is done is a sign of maturity and care, therefore
this is one such exception on your journey. If you want to know the
outcome of your magical working, this spread will be all about
looking at the progress of your magical workings, such as a curse.
This is a great and helpful tarot spread which I have created as
an accessory to accommodate the workings of baneful magick, that
being said, let us begin. Only two tools will be required, your tarot
deck and an obsidian or crystal sphere. Begin by addressing your
intent for this reading, that being your concern for the progress of
your magical working. Once done meditate on it, then start
shuffling your tarot deck. Now that your deck has been shuffled
spread the deck from right to left. This spread calls for only five
cards to be placed on each point of an inverted pentagram, this
pentagram can be visualized or drawn out, it symbolizes not only
the powers of the left-hand path and baneful workings, but it is
also the inversion and reversed mirror image of the elemental
Pentagram's forces, being changed from order to chaos. The
placement of the cards correspond to the inverted pentagrams
mirrored reversal of five elements, the bottom point represents the
spirit, the second lower point to the left represents air, the third
point to the right represents water, the fourth point at the top left
represents earth and the fifth point to the top right represents fire.
Next, you must provide focus and energy for this reading, place
your crystal sphere at the center of the pentagram to provide a
central point of balance. Now you will choose your cards but it is
important to take your time, meditate on the deck of cards and
allow your intuition to flow freely, don't think about which card to

25
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

choose, allow your instinctive feelings to choose the card rather


than your conscious reasoning to choose for you. Besides the
elemental symbolism behind the inverted pentagram, each point
has its own meaning. The first card is representative of the curse,
the second card represents the successful attributes of the curse,
the third card represents the potency or the power of the curse, the
fourth card represents the true intent and nature of the curse, and
lastly, the fifth card represents the outcomes from the curse. When
all five cards have been set, study the spread in depth don't just use
the definitions from the booklet, instead use your intuition to
create a better understanding of your reading.

THE SPREAD OF HEARTS

This spread is designed to display the thoughts and emotions of


anyone, especially friends, family, and your enemies. But why
would this spread be important to you, you might ask. To answer
that question, sometimes we may wonder about what is going on in
the hearts of our friends and foes especially when we are in
constant contact with these individuals daily or every so often. At
some point in time, you might feel that they may be hiding
something from you. Whatever the problem might be, you have
every right to know what is going on in the mind of that person,
especially if it comes down to a life or death situation that involves
the well being of your own life. This method is to be taken with
caution since it involves tapping into the minds of others. This type
of reading will require for you to call upon the ears of other
worldly forces. Here you will call out to entities for the first time,
until you can learn how to use, or better understand clairvoyance,
and omniscience. If this isn't your first time communing with an
entity then this shouldn't be too difficult. However, if it is your first
time attempting to communicate with entities, you shouldn't be too
concerned because you will be guided by a source full of
experience, which will provide steps that are based on experiences
that have been built up over a great amount of time, backed by
study and research. Before you perform this reading, it is
recommended that you first read this book in its entirety and most

26
DIVINATION AND CURSE CRAFTING WITH TAROT

importantly works from far more experienced practitioners, like S.


Ben Qayin and his creation The Book of Smokeless Fire, and
Asenath Mason's creations combined with the Temple of
Ascending flame such as, Rites of Lucifer and Tree of Qliphoth.
Once you have gained experience from these workings you can
return to this book and begin performing the works presented here.
This reading is a one card draw to tap into the hearts and minds
of your friends, family, and foes as stated before. In order to
perform this reading, you will need the individual's hair or string
from clothing, a gold candle, your tarot deck, and crystals, or a
crystal sphere to concentrate energy. Begin by lighting the candle
and burning the object and address your intentions into the flames
and state the following, "I call forth the attention of forces within
me and outside. I call to my unholy father Iblis Shaitan Lucifer and
all forces under his sigil to display and expose the heart, private
emotions, and feelings within (individuals name here)."Once
completed, shuffle the tarot deck and shortly put it above the
candle flame, but not too close to avoid damaging the cards, this
action is done in order for the essence of the offering to make
contact with the cards. Spread the cards from right to left and
choose one card. Now that you have viewed the card it is
important to understand this card in depth. Again, close the reading
by collecting the cards and shuffling the deck and setting it face
down for future readings.
Hopefully, this chapter opened your mind to tarot in a much
greater way, especially in the ways of the left-hand path. The left-
hand path has so much to offer, but it is up to you to go deeper
within it, and learning more about it is always beneficial. Once you
have done so you can create your own methods. With the left-hand
path, creativity is endless and inspiration is constantly flowing in,
like a raging river of water. This creative force forms from the
chaotic husks of the abyss which emerge as energy and the drive
within the magician. This is the revival of ancient powers and
reawakening them to achieve path workings while simultaneously
becoming triumphant over order. When walking the left-hand path,
you are always advancing towards greater knowledge, truth, and
freedom.

DISCOVERING LEY LINES
From the deserts of the Middle East to the forests of
Scandinavia, and the frozen wastelands of the southern
hemisphere, Planet Earth radiates with natural energy fields that
flow and fuel these various climates. In this chapter, we will study
and look at a less common form of the planet's fields of energy.
These types of energy fields or paths of energy are much like the
magnetic fields that surround the Earth, however, in this case, ley
lines are geometric alignments that run across the lithosphere,
running through and connecting natural and sacred locations. From
civilization to civilization, names have been given to represent
these invisible lines based on the various forces of energy that
exist within and near the lines. They have been referred to as
dream paths, spirit paths, and energy paths, because of the
experiences, and countless magical ceremonies performed within
and near these lines. This makes ley lines great for the journeying
and meditating magical practitioners.
In that case, ley lines will provide you with a great journey
towards gaining further wisdom, and along the way you will
discover knowledge that exists in the form of energy in the sands,
or as whispers from the winds of the high deserts, and echoes from
the canyons below. There are still many unknowns from ancient
civilizations that never made it into the form of writing, however
when we visit ancient ruins or natural places like a forest we can
find remains from our ancient ancestors which can provide us with
information and evidence of their ancient magical methods. Before
we begin searching for these ancient sources of knowledge,
whether it is through physical means or through spiritual means, it
is important to remember that this ancient wisdom is to be
respected, because it gives us a foundation and a basic
understanding of various concepts found in the world of magick.
Normally we will look at new materials that have just been
created, and that's fine. But when we look back in time at ancient
drawings, carvings, and scriptures, there is just so much

29
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

more that is being offered. When we find these older sources of


magical knowledge, We not only learn about it, but we learn to
appreciate it. When we make contact with these ancient sources,
we also gain the essence from previous practitioners and the
magick that was performed with these drawings, carvings and
scriptures. When we make these discoveries we aren't just finding
power, we are finding purpose. From my understanding, Humans
are unique creatures that are the only ones known to have such
amazing mental, and spiritual capabilities within this realm, and
our history proves it, with so many accounts of communicating
with gods or entities throughout time, and working with them to
create so many amazing things. Therefore our purpose is to be like
them, and we are destined to be the vehicles and storage vessels of
knowledge and power. And so our journey continues as we follow
the paths that our ancestors used ages ago, that we now know as
ley lines.
To continue finding ley lines, take into considerations of what
type of energy path that you want to work with. To make more
sense of this philosophy, you will learn a little bit about the ancient
Chinese philosophical system of Taoism. In Taoism, exists a
system of dualism. Much like order and chaos, this system
contains what is known as yin and yang. The very popular symbol
of yin and yang, the Taijitu, symbolizes two different forces in a
constant revolving cycle, which seeks to rejoin as a whole but
always returns to two separate forces that push and pull due to
their opposing properties. Yin is the feminine force. It symbolizes
energy which is dark and hidden, it also symbolizes the moon and
nighttime. While Yang is the masculine force. It symbolizes energy
which is bright and visible, it also symbolizes the sun and daytime.
So Yin and Yang can help us understand where we live, for
example, A Yin environment is an environment which has a cold
climate, that contains places which align with the spiritual and
symbolic elements of Yin. It includes natural and sacred places
such as cold forests, cold deserts, caves, abandoned temples, ruins,
and the underworld. While a Yang environment is an environment
which has a warm climate, that contains places which align with
the spiritual and symbolic elements of Yang. It includes natural and

30
DISCOVERING LEY LINES

sacred places such as warm forests hot deserts, and active places
on the surface and above. Once you have decided choosing or
defining your location and it's type of ley line, it is recommended
to study its past and the history of the ancient civilizations that
existed there or continue to exist in that region, and then decide
whether it is suitable for your ascension on the left-hand path. To
easily find ley lines that have been discovered by previous
practitioners, and professionals who specialize in this field of
study, look no further than maps and various sources provided on
the web. There are countless maps and interactive tools that you
can find on the internet for discovering ley lines. Once you have
found your ley line it is time that you put your study into practice.
I will provide you with a good example of what your goal should
be when choosing and working with ley lines. In my case when
choosing a ley line I will usually pick a specific line based on the
geography and history of a location. To be more specific, here is an
example. The Middle East is known as the cradle of civilization
and has been a major source of the sacred world. Therefore, it is
simply a powerful place filled with vast amounts of knowledge and
many ancient secrets. The Middle East catches my attention
because of the amazing amount of ancient literature, and magick,
in particular scriptures about the seventy-two-infernal djinn.
Amazingly works such as this, help produce the energy of the ley
lines, the very essence that exists there comes from these works
and the entities that are associated. These entities have entered
into the physical realm time and time again by means of invocation
whether it was done by the hands of King Solomon or someone
else. When arriving to these places you can feel the energy in the
atmosphere, you can also feel the essence or presence of the
wandering entities and spirits crossing the planes and dimensions
of their world and ours. When this happens, you can settle down
anywhere in the desert and begin to take your mind into a state of
trance, meditation, and astral projection in order to begin
communicating with the entities, to ask them anything that you
desire. If you put enough of your mind into it and your spiritual
energy into practice, then you will be successful in all your
workings.

SACRED GEOMETRY
Circles, Triangles, Squares, Polygons, and other various shapes,
all ascribe to sacred geometry. Shapes are everywhere in the form
of two dimensional, three dimensional, and even four-dimensional
forms. In magick, shapes have the ability to transfer, change, and
store divine or magical power and energy. Sacred geometry is not
only associated with certain religions and their traditional beliefs,
but it also belongs in the occult world, and especially in the left-
hand path. An example of sacred geometry from the left-hand path
includes the inverted pentagram, sigils, and various ritual floor
layouts. For thousands of years, various religions have used and
applied sacred geometry in their rituals, shapes contain not only
ancient magical and divine capabilities, but most importantly the
power of numerological value. Each shape has its own
numerological value, as each natural number has its own power to
change energy currents in the material and astral planes.
To explain how these shapes work, we will study each basic
geometric shape and what each shape has to offer. First, we will
look at the sphere. The sphere is a unique shape, found in nature,
but it is more commonly found as a man-made object. The name
sphere originates from the Greek word sphaira meaning globe or
ball. A fair example of a near sphere object can be found in nature,
such as planets, stars, and other celestial objects. The properties of
man-made spherical objects that are used in magick, can be
compared to properties that celestial objects have. For example
planet Earth contains various forms of energy, it has an
atmosphere, produces gravitational force, and has the unique
property to sustain and produce life. When a comparison like this
is made to man-made tools it is easy to see how it can be used for
magical workings, therefore spheres have the potential to become
rechargeable vessels that are capable of storing energy. Besides
spheres, circles have similar properties like a sphere, because both
circles and spheres are

33
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

never ending, and infinite making them great for storing magical
energy.
The next geometric shape takes the form of ancient Mayan
temples, Assyrian Ziggurats, and Egyptian pyramids, it is the
pyramid. Although there are many similar shapes that aren't
triangular, our only concern here is that we only use triangular
shapes. Triangles and pyramids share very special properties, in
that they have been used for various important religious rituals in
ancient times. When Pharaohs passed away they would be placed
in sacred pyramids which became their temporary resting place. It
is believed that the pyramid's top point, would help the souls of the
Pharaohs move on to the afterlife, this top point of the pyramid
acted as a focal point for gathering magical energy to launch the
Pharaoh’s soul into the heavens. This makes the roles of pyramids
very important in human history, thus making it a powerful tool to
direct the flow of magical energy. It is important to point out that
triangles have the same attributes as pyramids, but its functionality
can be changed when inverted in rituals. When inverted, it acts as
an arrow that directs external energy into the practitioner standing
within the triangle, unlike a regular triangle which can be used to
direct magical energy outwards which is very useful as well.
Squares, rectangles, cubes, and rectangular prisms are our next
sacred geometrical shapes. These shapes are found in vast amounts
within the world of science and mathematics, especially,
mechanical, electrical, and architectural engineering. Like other
shapes, they have been used for thousands of years in almost every
part of our lives. For example, electronics are based on these
shapes, more specifically the components on the circuit board, and
even the circuit board itself. Therefore, these shapes are great for
storing, transmitting, and receiving energy. When it comes down to
using sacred geometry for magical purposes you can use any
shape, whether it is two dimensional or three dimensional to
empower your workings. You can even combine these shapes to
create magick circles that are used in ceremonial magick. These
magick circles can also be combined with sigils which can increase

34
SACRED GEOMETRY

magical energy while performing rituals of evocation and


invocation. The next chapter will cover sigil crafting and how you
can convert your name into a sigil for your magical purposes.

35
36
SIGIL CRAFTING
Sigil crafting is an art in itself. Sigils have existed since the
earliest systems of magick were created. To understand exactly
what a sigil is I will provide you with a fairly detailed history.
Sigils have been used by various cultures for their own systems of
magick and occult practices. Sigils are recognized by various
peoples, and are defined in every language. In Hebrew, the word
sigil is known as segula meaning word, action, or item relating to
spiritual effects, and talismans. In Latin, the word sigil is known as
Sigillum, meaning seal, and is a symbol that can be used to
represent entities, people, places, and even things. It can be
understood and defined as pictorial signatures that belong to
entities like the djinn, people who are magical practitioners, sacred
places, and objects. In ceremonial magick sigils are used to refer to
various occult symbols that belong to and represent entities, the
sigils are also used to invoke or evoke them. Various books of
magick in the left-hand path, like the grimoires contain numerous
sigils, primarily for the seventy-two-infernal djinn.
therefore sigils are a major component in the dark arts. With
that said let's begin. First, I will provide you with a modified
version of an ancient Chinese method that uses a number grid
known as the Lo Shu magick square that helps you to create sigils.
This magical grid is used to create sigils by converting names into
numbers, the numbers are then located on the Lo Shu magick
square by connecting lines from one number to the next number
that slowly creates the sigil, it is more complex than this brief
explanation, therefore I will provide you with step by step
instructions so that you can create your own sigil. Begin by writing
your full name down at the top of a piece of paper. Next, in order
for the sigil to be created properly, you must first remove duplicate
letters which are before the secondary identical letters within only
the first name and not the last name. For example, if I have a name
such as Johnson Doe, I will remove the O's in Johnson and leave
the o in Doe. After those letters have been removed, what should

37
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

remain, is Jhsn Doe. The second step is to remove all vowels,A,


E, I, O, U, within the entire name, now leaving Jhsn D. These two
processes are done in order to avoid the error of overlapping, and
duplicated lines.
Now you will begin creating the Lo Shu alphanumeric grid.
This grid will consist of numbers one through nine and the English
alphabet. The grid is to be drawn as a four by nine grid. The first
row is to be numbered from one to nine, and then inserting the
alphabet starting from the second row, from left to right,
descending to the last row. Once you have completed creating the
grid begin matching up the letters from your name to the numbers
assigned to the letters in each corresponding column. Now that you
have converted the letters into numbers, begin making the Lo Shu
magick square by creating a three by three grid and properly
numbering it from one to nine starting from left to right, going
from top to bottom. Now you can begin by drawing out your sigil
by connecting your numbers in order, for example, the name
Johnson Doe has been converted to the numbers one, eight, one,
five, and four, you will then match these numbers to the magick
square, drawing a line from one to eight and so on.
Now that you have created your own sigil you can combine it
with sacred geometric shapes. The sigil itself will naturally
produce its own geometric shapes especially triangular shapes,
when the lines within your sigil cross creating the triangles. To
further enhance your sigil you can surround it with circles or any
shape that you prefer. When performing invocation rituals it is
common practice to draw out the sigils on the ground, usually with
soil or other forms of organic matter, this is done in order to make
a greater connection with the natural forces of Earth and beyond.
Sigils have been used for ages, but for some time these symbols
went unnoticed, until centuries later when a nineteenth century
occultist by the name of Austin Osman Spare discovered them and
published his own methodology, where the intent of the
practitioner are spoken and transformed into a sigil. The sigil is
then charged by the magician using their own will power. This
technique is now known as sigilization, and it has become a major
part of chaos magick, and other forms of magick.

38
SIGIL CRAFTING
Sigilization is commonly found in the world of chaos magick
because it can be modified for a more personalized touch.
Sigilization also gives practitioners a great advantage when
creating new methodologies in chaos magick, where it can make
works of magick more flexible and unlimited. For example sigils
can be charged and modified in unique ways, as the process of
sigilization doesn't require a set of rules. Sigils can be used for
creating spells, curses, and the creation of thought forms. This
methodology is very much different from the traditional use of
sigils, whose discoverers passed it down generation after
generation from books, providing the sigils fixed identity and
definition, where in this case the modern sigil is created by
magical practitioners and are programmed for whatever the
magician desires, accommodated with the use of metaphysical
power or blood offerings to charge and activate it.

39
40
MEDITATION AND ASTRAL
PROJECTION
Meditation has been found in similar forms throughout various
religions around the world, with the common goal in mind which is
for the meditating individual to make the mind transcend into a
deep state of consciousness, in order to discover realization within
something or to simply acknowledge its contents without having to
be overly analyzed. Meditation allows one to connect with their
inner self and to awaken and bring out power that has not been
activated, lying dormant within the labyrinth that is the soul. When
one hears the word meditation they will automatically picture a
person who is sitting with their legs crossed, eyes closed, and
saying aloud some kind of mantra, that may be correct however
there is more involved and in our case it is done for a much more
different purpose. For example in religions such as Buddhism
meditation is not about going into a state of hypnotism in order to
make contact with a supernatural entity, but it is more about a form
of meditation that involves the body and the mind becoming one.
For Buddhists this is very vital and it requires that they ignore
duality so that their body and the mind can reach a point of
becoming a singularity.
To summarize meditation in their world is a way of taking
control of the mind so that it becomes peaceful and focused, it is
also used to stop the mind rushing about in an aimless melee of
thoughts. Some individuals state that the aim of some forms of
meditation, is to still the mind. There are a number of methods of
meditating that have been used for ages that have been proven to
do so. In our case we will use meditation in a way that is
somewhat similar, but our intentions will reside with the goals and
intentions of the left-hand path. Our goal here is to release our
inner powers for the purpose of increasing and heightening our
magical prowess, and unlocking the powers of astral projection,
so let's begin. Throughout your journey you have been learning a

41
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

great deal of knowledge from the left-hand path, but now it is time
to take everything to a new level that you once thought impossible.
Take all your tools and place them safely aside so that you can
make the space around you as open as possible, or you can find a
silent empty place that would be more than beneficial for you to
meditate. For a moment wander around and survey this space for a
few moments, this exercise will help calm your spirit in order to
begin the practice of meditation. Begin to analyze the dark corners
and shadows in this place, they represent the hidden aspects of life.
Continue to look around you and notice life and growth, but at the
same time you know that in the end it will return to the ashes.
From ashes to ashes, dust to dust. There is life and then there is
death. But the cycle of life simply doesn't end in the physical
world, life continues on in the afterlife in the form of spirits that
are beyond the physical planes. Now that you have let your mind
dwell on the elements of life begin to settle down for the
meditation, but before you begin meditating I will teach you about
tapping into the various forms of energy within the human body
and spirit that are the sources of our energy and life force. These
points of energy are concepts found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and
Jainism, it is known as Chakra, and it is very important to find
balance within each chakra in order to perform advanced workings
of magick, and in this case meditation and astral projection.
There are a total of seven chakras, the first chakra is the Root
Chakra. It represents our foundation and what grounds us, it is
located in the tailbone. The second chakra is the Sacral Chakra, it
represents our ability to accept new knowledge and create new
experiences. It is located by the lower abdomen. The third chakra
is the Solar Plexus Chakra, it represents our confidence and control
of our lives, it is located by our upper abdomen. The fourth chakra
is the Heart Chakra, it represents love, however I would not
recommend to use this chakra, for the purpose of discovering love,
because it is a blinding force that can cause one to stray off from
their true purpose especially when you are a magical practitioner.
however it can be used to a limited extent, for example it can be
accessed for the love that you have for friends and family, but
beyond this level of love in my opinion is simply useless I see no

42
MEDITATION AND ASTRAL PROJECTION

purpose in having an intimate or sexual relationship, it is fruitless


and a waste of one's potential. This chakra is located in the center
of the chest. The fifth chakra is the Throat Chakra, it represents
our ability to communicate physically and spiritually, it is located
in the throat. The sixth chakra is the Third Eye Chakra, it
represents our ability to focus on and see beyond the physical and
mundane world. It is the apex of our intuition, imagination, and in
our case mystical wisdom. It is located on our forehead between
our eyes. And the seventh chakra is the Crown Chakra, it is the
highest chakra that represents our ability to be fully connected
spiritually, it is where we are able to project ourselves outside of
our body to flow freely and gain spiritual knowledge. It is located
at the very top of the head. Now that we have gone over every
chakra you will perform a breathing exercise while meditating.
Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes while slowly
inhaling through your nose, and exhaling out through your mouth.
Your main focus in your meditative state will be to find a healthy
balance between each chakra, and most importantly how you can
improve each chakra that you believe has become weak or
untouched. It will take much time to properly tune each chakra
depending on your ability to concentrate. When the time has come,
where you believe and feel that your Chakra is in proper balance,
you will now fit them all together to create a singularity, because
each chakra has the ability to relate to one another. The purpose of
combining your chakras into one is to create that trust and
confidence within you and also to enhance your energy and
spiritual abilities. Once this is done you will reproduce the same
process but this time it is to combine the body and spirit to create a
peaceful unity. Your body and spirit are equally important, without
your body you can not function on the physical plane and without
your spirit you cease to exist. Your body is the force that allows
you to gain knowledge and wisdom that feeds your mind and
spirit, and your spirit is what allows your body to function, and is
the source of your consciousness. However your body is a
temporary form of life while your spirit is not. When you have
completed this process, take your hand and put it onto your
forehead where the third eye chakra is, notice the warmth.

43
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

This warmth is being made by your own energy, you are a being
that flows with blood cells which run through your veins, within
these cells are chemical compounds, within the compounds are a
combination of elements that create life, within these elements are
charged subatomic particles, within these charged particles are
quarks, and within these quarks resides shadows of darkness, and
within this darkness comes the energy that fuels us. Now that your
eyes have been opened continue to sit in a comfortable position and
meditate. you will perform a breathing exercise while meditating.
Again, close your eyes while slowly inhaling through your nose,
and exhaling out through your mouth. You will now begin to leave
your physical being to wander the astral realm. As you continue to
breathe in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth,
begin to imagine leaving your body, do not force any thoughts, or
create any false visions in your mind, simply think about your soul
moving as if it was your own body. As you exhale through your
mouth feel your breath slowly leave from your body becoming one
with the wind that is passing by, you know that you can go
wherever you want, you are free from anyone and anything, and no
one is in control but yourself. You now begin to feel light and your
body has disappeared. Now use your intent to travel to the
crossroads of realms beyond, speaking to who ever you want in the
astral realm, Learning as much as you can from these ancient ones.
When you want to return to the physical plane, simply remember
your place of meditation. Now slowly open your eyes and end the
meditation.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
QLIPHOTH
Throughout the book I have mentioned the Qliphoth many
times with a brief description, however I have not gone into depth
and further detail with you about the tree of Qliphoth until now. In
order to understand the Qliphoth we will first study the Sefirot and
its ten attributes in the Jewish Kabbalah. In Hebrew, Sefirot means
emanations which are ten attributes that come from their god, who
is referred to as Ein Sof. To simply explain these ten attributes, I
will provide short and concise definitions of each sefirah. The
sefirot are divided into three categories, the first category is known
as the superconscious, which contains the first sefirah called Keter
which means crown. The Keter represents the divine will to create
an infinite light of this god. The second category is known as the
Conscious intellect, which contains the second and third sefirah,
Chochmah, and Binah. The second sefirah is called Chochmah
which means wisdom. Chochmah represents wisdom, it is
described as a first unbounded flash of an idea before it takes on
limitations and creation from nothingness, of this god. The third
sefirah is called Binah which means understanding. Binah
represents the infinite flash of Chochmah brought into the vessel of
understanding to give it grasp of breadth and depth which gives
birth to emotions, reason, and understanding from this god.
The third category is known as the Conscious emotions, which
contains the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
sefirah. These sefirah are each known as, Chesed, Gevurah,
Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut. The fourth sefirah is
called Chesed which means kindness. Chesed represents the
supposed love from this god. The fifth sefirah is called Gevurah
which means severity. Gevurah represents the strength, judgment,
intentions, of this god. The sixth sefirah is called Tiferet which
means beauty. Tiferet represents the symmetry and balance
between Chesed and Gevurah in compassion from this god. The
seventh sefirah

46
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

is called Netzach which means eternity. Netzach represents


perpetuity and endurance within this god. The eighth sefirah is
called Hod which means splendor. It represents withdrawal,
surrender and sincerity from this god. The ninth sefirah is called
Yesod which means foundation. It represents connecting to the
task to accomplish coherent knowledge of this god. The tenth
sefirah is called Malchut which means kingship. It represents the
god's emanation within his creation in the physical realm. And last
we have the mystical state of knowledge known as Da'at which
means knowledge. Unlike the sefirah the function of Da'at is to
unite the sefirah into a singularity, it is located in the top central
portion of the tree. Now that you understand each sefirot, you must
understand why it's structure and configuration looks the way it
does. The most popular configuration of not just the Sefirot but the
Qliphoth, appears like a tree which also indicates the spiritual and
symbolic functionality of each tree. This tree like configuration is
known as the Yosher.
This scheme depicts the sefirot arranged in three columns. The
right column represents the spiritual force of expansion. The left
represents its opposite, and it's restrictions. The middle column is
the balancing force or synthesis between these opposing
tendencies. And lastly there are the twenty-two connecting paths
between the sefirah. These twenty-two paths correspond to what is
called the spiritual channels of the twenty-two letters from the
Hebrew alphabet. Each letter is seen as the spiritual life force that
comes from the account in genesis when the world is created, and
where creation takes place through ten Hebrew sayings from their
god (“Let there be...”). But soon after conflict ensued in the
heavens and on Earth, thus creating the divide and the Qliphotic
realms. We will now move on to discover the Qliphoth and study
all ten Qlipha in detail. The Qliphoth is all that the Sefirot is not.
Through shared knowledge, wisdom, and tradition that has been
passed down from practitioner to practitioner of the dark arts, The
Qliphoth is known as the antithesis of the Sefirot, and in Hebrew it
simply means peels, husks, or shells. There are various facts about
the Qliphoth that are greatly known, and some that are not well
known. In the Kabbalah, and systems of esoteric/occult study,

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE QLIPHOTH

the Qliphoth originated from the abandoned elements of gods


attempt of creation that were later thrown away, however because
of the essence of divine power that remained in these husks, it
created a force that was even stronger than that of the Sefirot. But
now we know that the Qliphoth is in fact the realm in which the
fallen angels reside in, like his greatness Lucifer. The tree of
Qliphoth has been greatly identified because of the various entities
that reside within it, and how it has been popularly known as the
Tree of Death or the Tree of Knowledge.
For some time, it has been called the Tree of Death, but it is not
what many believe to be as a literal place of death, this simply is
not the case. Here death is not a means to an end, instead it means
the transformation of life, and the transition from one form of life
to another. For example, when one's life ends in the physical
realm, it transforms into a much different form of life, when the
spirit has moved on to the afterlife, into the astral realm a place of
greater being, and wisdom. This is where the Qliphoth is also
known as the Tree of Knowledge. In the world of the left-hand
path the Qliphoth is also identified as the Tree of Knowledge,
which is based on the tree found in the book of Genesis. In Genesis
we learn about creation and the creation of mankind, Adam and
Eve. Here we find Adam and Eve consuming the fruit of
knowledge in the Garden of Eden, with the help of the serpent
assumed to be either Lilith, or Samael. Thus creating the greater
divide, and breaking the shackles that were once placed on
mankind. Now I will begin to teach you about the ten Qlipha with
short and concise descriptions, but with enough detail so that you
can understand the meaning of the Qliphotic realms. However I am
not able to possibly provide you with rites and rituals that
accommodate every single Qlipha, otherwise it would be a second
book within this book consisting of more than two hundred pages.
Therefore I recommend that you read Asenath Mason's book, The
Tree of Qliphoth.
Much like the Sefirot's Yosher configuration, the Qliphoth has
the same configuration as well. But instead of there being ten
attributes of the Jewish god, we have ten Qliphotic realms where
each one has it own purpose and entities living within them. Like

48
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

the Sefirot and it's three categories, the Qliphoth has a similar
setup as well. The first category of the Qliphoth is known as the
entities of superconscious, which is the first Qlipha known as
Thaumiel, which is also home to the twin gods. This Qlipha is
described as being the crown of initiation and the path to the great
abode of wisdom and higher consciousness which resides with the
Throne of Lucifer and the Twin God. This Qliphotic realm also
consists of two sub realms which are the forces of duality, of the
Twin God. One realm is of Satan, while the other is of Moloch
which are under Lucifer's throne. When these three entities come
together to make one, the gates of higher knowledge and
consciousness are opened. The second category is known as the
entities of conscious intellect, which contains the second and third
Qlipha, Ghagiel, and Satariel. The second Qlipha is known as
Ghagiel, which is translated to, “Those who go forth into the place
empty of god”. This realm is the force that provides energy to
create and recreate elements of the universe, and allows full access
into Thaumiel, by breaking down divine law. The rulers of this
realm are Beelzebub and Adam Belial. The third Qlipha is known
as Satariel, which is known as the domain of Lucifuge, the shadow
of Lucifer, it is also the domain and womb of Lilith, queen of Sitra
Ahra. This realm is a place of tests, where one confronts
surrealism, but must see past it to find truth from the concealer.
The third category is known as the entities of conscious emotions,
which contains the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth Qlipha. These Qlipha are each known as, Gha'agsheblah,
Golachab, Thagirion, A'arab Zaraq, Gamaliel, and Lilith. The
fourth Qlipha is known as Gha'agsheblah, which is known as the
smiters. This realm is ruled by Astaroth, who will annihilate
humanity in the end times. Here you will learn to recreate yourself
destroying everything that you once were, and leave behind your
whole life before entering the abyss of the great abode of higher
wisdom. The fifth Qlipha is known as Golachab, which is known
as the burning one. This realm is the lake of fire and a pit of
awesome destruction. It is here in which Asmodeus, better known
as Samael resides. This realm is a realm in which one is crowned
and initiated from the realm of A'arab Zaraq. This realm tests the
initiate with great severity, but it is the way of

49
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE QLIPHOTH

misery and bliss. The sixth Qlipha is known as Thagirion, which


is known as the disputers, and is the illuminating path of the night
side. This realm is home to Belphegor, the lord of the dead, which
is at the heart of the Qliphoth. This realm represents the
foundation, knowledge and understanding of the left-hand path,
but it is where the journeying initiate must accept that they will no
longer have the guiding hand of allies from previous realms, so
that they can become self sufficient and confront the tests of
Belphegor and beyond. The seventh Qlipha is known as A'arab
Zaraq, also called the Ravens of Dispersion, where it is ruled by
Venus Illegitima the teacher of carnal mysticism, Baal the teacher
of war, and Tubal Cain the teacher of metallurgy and alchemy. This
realm represents ordeals of peace and violence, it is a place in
which the initiate must face these opposites to gain courage and
strength. The eighth Qlipha is known as Samael, when translated,
it means the poison of god. This is the realm in which the Reaper
resides, and where the ruler Adrammelech presides.
It is this realm that introduces the initiate to the mysteries of
death. The ninth Qlipha is known as Gamaliel, and it is known as
the realm of the obscene one. This realm is ruled by Lilith, where
she introduces the initiate to the foundational teachings of magick.
The tenth Qlipha is known as Lilith, this is the tenth realm of the
Qliphoth, however, this is where the journey of the initiate begins
because it marks the opening of the gates to Sitra Ahra, therefore
one must travel backwards from the last to the first Qlipha where
they will finally arrive to the throne of Lucifer. In this realm
Lilith's sister Naamah, is the ruler and guardian of all worldly
possessions, seductress of men's souls, and ruthless goddess who
creates nightmares. But it this realm in which the two sisters guide
the initiate into the Qliphoth igniting the Luciferian flame within,
in order to ascend. And last we have the mystical state of
knowledge Da'at, that inhabits the dark tree connecting all the
realms from within the husks with the combined forces of the
demonic twenty-two channels creating it's super structure. To
conclude, the Qliphoth is the most powerful and impressive
primordial force that has ever existed. As a Theistic Luciferian and
black magician it has been

50
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

more then an honor to teach you about the Qliphoth in detail as


best as I possibly can, and I hope that you have learned to
appreciate it, because without it the left-hand path would not exist
or it probably wouldn't be what it is today. In the next chapter you
will be introduced to writings that I had created long before I
began creating this book, it will entail my early thoughts and
philosophy of the left-hand path as it was written.

WRITINGS OF MY PHILOSOPHY
You have discovered my work because destiny brought you
here. I am he who was mentored by the light bearer, and I am he
who was mentored by black magicians of great wisdom. In these
writings you will find an organized system of my philosophy. To
begin learning about the dark arts I will introduce you to my
philosophy of the left-hand path. This system which I have created
is called, the Merging Triangles of Sitra Ahra, where two major
philosophies of the left hand path are combined to create the force
of singularity within the heart and mind of the practitioner. As part
of my design, it is made of two triangles. The top triangle is
inverted, which expresses the philosophy of magical power and
tools of the left-hand path from black magick and magick in
general. The bottom triangle represents the associated spiritual
aspect of the left-hand path, it is the umbrella of Satanism,
Luciferianism, and the Qliphoth. These two triangles merge to
combine the forces of magical power and spiritual power, to make
the left-hand path into a living and breathing force of nature.
Because the triangles merge into one another it produces a
rhombus, which produces the singularity and space for greater
potential energy that represents the practitioner of the dark arts.
Now I will further explain each part of the Merging Triangles of
Sitra Ahra in detail.

THE TRIANGLE OF MAGICAL PHILOSOPHY

Black magick is the philosophy of one's egoism, black magick


is based on three main foundational principles, Individuality,
freedom, and power. These three principles found in the left-hand
path are meant to heighten the forces of magick, and to assist the
practitioner in gaining power to possess three major abilities, it
includes omniscience (knowing all or very much. ), omnipotence
( the quality of having unlimited or great power. ), and
omnipresence ( Being spiritually present everywhere at the same

53
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH

time. ). In the left-hand path our primary form of spirituality is


Satanism and especially Theistic Luciferianism, where Lucifer is
the guiding force who teaches us as a mentor and friend, and is not
a tyrannical force. Through Lucifer's gnosis, and the gnosis from
other forces from the tree if Qliphoth, we are able to learn about
the vast amount of abilities found in black magick besides the
higher abilities listed above. These abilities include divination,
( the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown
by supernatural means. ), invocation ( the act of calling upon or
summoning a spirit, demon, god, or other supernatural entity. ),
and astral projection ( the existence of a soul or consciousness
called an “astral body” that is separate from the physical body and
is capable of traveling throughout the universe where it interacts
with other astral bodies or entities, and is capable of implanting
ideas into other people's minds. ). With everything mentioned
above it is important to know that this philosophy is under the rule
of a strict ethical code of conduct, and ignoring the ethical code of
conduct will end with dire repercussions for the practitioner,
therefore it is noted that harming the innocent by means of magick
is a violation, and one must abide by this ethical code of conduct,
however self defense is an acceptation. Thus, these practices
throughout the left-hand path require the practitioner to take their
time in research and study, discipline, mindfulness, caution, and to
act responsibly. To further assist with one's ascension in the left-
hand path it is recommended to use methodologies such as
mentorships, study aids, working in study groups, and even hermit
seclusion, which is known as the Order of One. As a personal side
note, I use the Order of One methodology because it has provided
me with a much more private learning experience that has given
me the power to concentrate, and focus on my path towards
ascension. But for centuries it has been common practice for there
to be a master and apprentice duo, and therefore it is common for
sorcerers to work in pairs, which is known as the Order of Two.
Other systems of magick such as chaos magick can have groups,
consisting of four magical practitioners to accomplish greater
works of practice and study, while at the same time learning from
each other about ethics and creating a professional outlook as an
aspiring practitioner of the dark arts.

WRITINGS OF MY PHILOSOPHY

THE TRIANGLE OF SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY

As stated in the Triangle of Magical Philosophy, Satanism is the


primary spiritual system, making it the predominant form of
spirituality that is the guiding force in the left-hand path. However,
Satanism is a broad umbrella term that covers the wide range of
various forms of Satanism, therefore it is a group of ideological
and philosophical beliefs. One example of Satanism that is
common in the left-hand path is Theistic Luciferianism. Theistic
Luciferianism is a form of Luciferianism where followers such as
myself believe in the deity himself Lucifer in order to gain his
gnosis of magical knowledge, and guidance to obtain a higher
state of consciousness. To learn the ways of darkness the initiate
must begin journeying the Qliphoth where Lucifer presides.

FINAL WORDS
For years it has been a long-awaited dream to assemble all that I
have learned from the left-hand path into a specialized book that
occult practitioners of any level can pick up, read, and learn from
my methods of magical gnosis. This dream has now come true,
and as a devoted and loyal practitioner of the left-hand path it is
my passionate duty to provide everyone with a foundation. When I
started out I practically had no one to hold my hand and guide me
in the proper direction, and so I had to search hard for what I
wanted. At times it seemed almost impossible, but because I was
determined to find the truth, I finally found the perfect suitable
system to accommodate my thoughts, emotions, and philosophy.
The left-hand path has definitely been a life changing force for me
and it has made me a stronger and more outgoing individual. The
power that is found in the left-hand path, from my experience is far
more powerful than any other system of religion and philosophy
that I have ever witnessed. Before I discovered the left-hand path, I
was always jumping from one philosophy to the next because
those systems always felt so disconnected and disingenuous to me.
Hopefully you have found the left-hand path, to be more than just
a belief system, and instead is more like home to you. I also hope
that you have learned a great deal of knowledge from my teachings
and continue to learn more from the great realm of power.
