Uncle Setnakt's Essential Guide to the Left Hand Path
Product Description
- Don Webb
NEW! Runa Raven, 1999. Paperback
"The Essential Guide opens the door to the darkly resplendent worlds of the Left Hand Path. Part philosophical treatise, part ontological stand-up comedy, and part magical practicum, this book makes clear what many other books have only hinted at. For people with wit and perseverance, this book is a training manual for super-men and women. Don Webb has been a practitioner of the Left hand path since the 1970s. He is the former High Priest of the Temple of Set, the world's largest Left Hand Path organization, and the author of the best-selling Seven Faces of Darkness. "
" A concise, reader-friendly treatise on the virtues, vices and practical application of Left Hand Path philosophy, one which encourages constructive antinomianism as a path to positive Self transformation. Uncle Setnakt talks candidly about the very hard work involved for those taking up the path of the Left, effortlessly weaving a sublime sense of humor and the sobriety of experiential wisdom to underscore key elements of his lessons.
The author also offers numerous suggestions for *practical* application of Left Hand Path principles in the "real world" (including a rather extensive solitary magical rite entitled "The Grand Initiation"), but ultimately leaves the burden of success and fulfilment entirely upon the reader - as it should be. Aside from _Lords of the Left Hand Path_ by Stephen Flowers, I would indeed list this as the ideal starting point for those unfamiliar with Left Hand Path philosophy and practice. Highly recommended!"
