Left-hand path and right-hand path

[3] The right-hand path is commonly thought to refer to magical or religious groups which adhere to a certain set of characteristics: The occultist Dion Fortune considered Abrahamic religions to be RHP.

She had travelled across parts of southern Asia and gave accounts of having met with many mystics and magical practitioners in India and Tibet.

As the historian Dave Evans noted, homosexuals were referred to as "left-handed", while in Protestant nations Roman Catholics were called "left-footers".

The occult community soon picked up on her newly introduced duality, which, according to historian Dave Evans, "had not been known before" in the Western Esoteric Tradition.

[15] Crowley also referred to the left-hand path when describing the point at which the Adeptus Exemptus chooses to cross the Abyss, which is the location of Choronzon and the illusory eleventh Sephira, which is Da'ath or Knowledge.

In 1975, Kenneth Grant, a student of Aleister Crowley, explained in Cults of the Shadow that he and his group, the Typhonian Order, practiced the LHP.
