I am walking the Left Hand Path. Or so people may think about me. Personally I consider myself as walking in the gray area between LHP and RHP and using both.
But, then again, the term in itself is meaningless. I have knowledge in both Western and Eastern LHP and some people use it to describe generally 'edgy' magic, or the path which ends in separating from the creator or left hand worship in tantra involving rites of 5Ms, or just people don't giving a fuck about morals etc.
Especially in the East Vamachara is generally misunderstood and can be anything between worship not according to orthodox, Vedic rules and necromancy-like practices of Aghori. But Eastern LHP doesn't involve negative emotions which are generally linked to LHP. A sadhaka loves terrible, destructive goddesses and gods with all his heart.
Also, one can help his fellow humans and at the same time walk the LHP. STS/STO is completely different story.
>everyone likes practical abilities, but what good are those without inner peace?
I think that if an adherent of LHP isn't at peace with himself then he chose the wrong path.
