Lords of the Left Hand Path: book review

subtitled a history of spiritual dissent, Lords of the Left Hand Path is a monument to the satanic revival (excuse me, devival) of the 1980's.  the depth scholarism, and connections between ideas, historical figures, and their movements, characterizes the work in a groundbreaking way.  the book at 260 pages college textbook format is well suited to group studying, which is my impression on the intent of it's writing.  the book is just mind blowing no holds barred exploration of the dark side.  there are short comings in the book, a string of which is editorial, the more concerning of which would appear to be the stretching of truth a bit thin here and there (but what can one expect from a LHP master?).  the venerable reader is encouraged to investigate for him or her self as the end of each chapter contains a godsend of source citations.  i have learned a tremendous deal of knowledge for my own Becoming in this work that has taken figuratively thousands of years to complete.  the chapters on hindi, platonic, gnostic, and early 20th century occultism is awesome.  for the first time in print, gnostics, tantriks, and nazi occultists are looked at from a magical perspective with the actual viewpoints of how the different actors actually saw themselves in history.each chapter intangibly builds upon the one before it and is difficult to put down once begun.  you wont find the tired screeds that comes forth from weiser and other publishers about the dangers of the left hand path: the reader is given the freedom and respect to choose what is best for themselves.  so informed, you have the hammer to smite out of the limitations of those who would sell you morality for a shekel. 

Not designed for: Buddhists, stereotypical middle aged women, New Agers, scientologists, "healers." "shamens," or hypnotherapists.
