A person&#8217;s most trusted adviser is often called his right-hand man. Until recently, left-handed children were often forced to learn how to do things with their right hand, since left-handedness was considered a developmental error.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Are the Right-Hand and Left-Hand Paths?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Occult and religious paths are sometimes divided into two categories: the right-hand path and the left-hand path. While there are many religions and spiritual practices in each path and they vary considerably, they hold a few things in common. These terms are not void of controversy and bias, however.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Is the Right-Hand Path?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The right-hand path concentrate on the symbols of goodness, of the sun, of herd mentality and submission to god and religious authority. To put it a little more diplomatic, the right-hand path can be thought of as one of dogma, ritual, and a belief in the community and formal structure as well as a higher power. The vast majority of religions are considered part of the right-hand path, from Christianity to Witchcraft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Is the Left-Hand Path?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The left-hand path is considered to be about the elevation and centrality of the self as well as the rejection of religious authority and societal taboos. The left-hand path focuses on the strength and will of the practitioner. It downplays the need for intercession by any high power although some may believe that a higher power exists. Satanism and Luciferianism are considered left-hand paths. Though each of those can also be found in left-hand path religions, there is less focus on indulging the self in the right-hand path.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limitation and Bias of Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One very large limitation of this terminology is that it is primarily used by followers of the left-hand path. Satanists commonly describe their path as that of the left-hand. However, Christians, Jews, Witchcraft, Wiccans, Druids, and the like do not identify themselves as being of the right-hand path.<\/p>\n<p>As such, definitions of the right-hand path tend to be phrased in fairly derogatory terms as demonstrated. In addition, many people described as being of the right-hand path would disagree to varying degrees with the definitions commonly given.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, those people who do identify themselves as followers of the right-hand path generally describe the left-hand path as a one of evil, maliciousness, and danger. In this use, the terms become roughly synonymous with white magic and black magic, two other highly biased terms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Languages Spoken and Written:<\/strong> French, English and Spanish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>eMail:<\/strong> lostbeardedwhite@sassquatch.org<br \/>\n<strong>Facebook:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/neosteam.labs.9\/<br \/>\n<strong>YouTube:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5eRjrGn1CqkkGfZy0jxEdA<br \/>\n<strong>Twitter:<\/strong> https:\/\/twitter.com\/labs_steam<br \/>\n<strong>Pinterest:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/NeoSteamLabs\/<br \/>\n<strong>Instagram:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/luc.paquin\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lost Bearded White Brother<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212;&#8212; #Magic #TLBWB #HighPriest #Witchcraft #Wizard #Witch #WheelOfTheYear #SacredHerbs #MagicalOils #Incense #Pentacle #MagicCircle #Spell #Grimoires &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; The Origin of the Terms The West has a long history of associating the &#8220;Right&#8221; with goodness and correctness and the &#8220;Left&#8221; with inferiority.
