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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
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.

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
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

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

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.

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

MEDITATION AND ASTRAL PROJECTION

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

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

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.

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.
