Left Hand Path Sorcery: Rituals and Teachings for Gnostic Satanists

This had grand revelations

The reviews per usual are extremely critical… in the first paragraph of the book it is explained that this book will not be going into the history of the Left hand path or any of the practices that are in this book but a brief synopsis will be given and continues onto rituals, dark arts rituals from different paths! I don’t see the issue ? The title literally says exactly what your purchasing “Rituals and Teachings” !!! In my opinión Great book !!! Gives exactly what it says it will!

The best way to describe this book is a 148 page soft cover manual to be a practical, Left Hand Path Terrorist and sorcerer on the path of 3 different LHP systems. It contains a basic breakdown, couple of rituals and sigils here and there for various sinister traditions around the world. The main focus here is Dark Voodoo, Santa Muerte cult and Quimbanda - exactly as advertised. Although It DOES NOT have everything there is to know about those currents, It contains ENOUGH information to get the neophyte Satanic Terrorist started. Wicked job Mr. Putignano!

This book is excellent. It contains the section of Santa Muerte from the now unpublished Grimoire of Asha'Shedim as well as the Pitchfork of Maioral Lucifer which is now expanded. This book also contains a look into Left Hand Voodoo through Kalfu. Finally there is a short piece of Left Hand Tao that although short is interesting. Asha'Shedim has repeated essays in works in the past but from his website he states that he is no longer doing this. He will be releasing a couple books this year "Mark of Qayin" and "Liber Rudra" which the last one will be released by Martinet Press. He has rewritten his past work for these books and included new MS and rituals not found anywhere. He stated that he no longer will recycle his work after these releases. I am excited to get these to see the rewrites as well as the new material. I know Mark of Qayin comes out March 20th but I don't know when Martinet Press is putting out Liber Rudra. Anyways, back to this book. I found it very useful in my work and especially loved the work on Kalfu and the expanded Maioral Lucifer (Quimbanda)...The Lilin Society is a esoteric society and although I am not a member I am a supporter. Hail Satan!!!!!!

I was looking forward to receiving this book. I have practiced the LHP for 5 years and have been a student of the occult for 20. A decade or more ago I found a fondness for eastern traditions. I had spent time with many religious faith systems including Native Americans and Voodou practitioners. When I saw this book had "Left Hand Taoism" and some information about Voodou leaning towards the LHP, I was excited to quench my thirst for knowledge. What I ended up with was a ridiculous book, full of trite trying to be passed off as sinister. This is not a diabolical book, but something written to shock the reader into thinking it's something dark and forbidden. Well, yes, if you did the rituals in this book, you'd indeed be doing something forbidden, and sociopathic. Examples are: digging up the corpse of a dead baby, human sacrifice, and cannibalism. This isn't LHP, it's a bad Ruggero Deodato movie script. It's plagued with typos, misspellings and grammatical errors to boot. What terrible misrepresentation of Satanism. It's something only a rebellious teen-ager would believe was in any way a representation of any Left Hand Path based belief system, and I've read the "works" of the ONA. I want real practical magick, not some unresearched rubbish pawned off as true and gritty LHP. I don't think I read one ritual that was truly usable or there wasn't a capital crime involved. What a waste of money. If you're truly interested in the LHP, and want to know more about the darker half and esoteric parts of religions, don't waste your time or hard earned money on this book. And for the love of Lucifer (yes, said in jest) don't believe anything in it to be true, or not a perversion. Thank you for reading my review.

I am writing this review from the point of view of a Christian, so it may seem Offensive to some. This book is a reasonably decent overview of several evil spiritual disciplines. By evil I mean that while some of these disciplines may not be evil at all, such As Taoism, the permutations mentioned here are. This book assumes that you have Satanic training and a regular devil oriented Practice. I would suggest that if you are under the age of forty, you not read this Book, since you will not have the will not spiritual development to understand What damnation it is. For those forty and over, it is enlightening to see the sigils for Voodoo, a decent Explanation about the Loa. There is much blood-letting, blood-drinking, Animal sacrifice and other things mentioned here, so please read it with caution. An average book.

This book is awful.

Pretty basic information about several different left handed paths. Several of the rituals and writings have been modified to match the authors "sinister" image. Just like his other book purchased it is an editing nightmare plagued with misspelled words and missing punctuation. I will never buy anyother of this authors material. If you are considering this I would advise against it, there are plenty of other introductory books out there with more accurate and detailed information.

I can't speak for the other deities mentioned because I have not worked with any of them, but the detailed part on Santa Muerte is the best I have found, elaborate but effective and absolutely beautifully put together.

This book has cannibalism, human sacrifice, and digging up human remains, i know people may disagree with me, but i loved reading it even if many of the spells required that stuff. I love the shocking nature of this grimoire, whether its LHP or not, i often was left thinking "oh my god this is hecking awesome"

This is a good one to keep by the crapper to spook out houseguests.
