Which do you choose, the left-hand path or the right-hand path?

Paths of Occultism

The left-hand and right-hand paths are concepts originating in Hinduism. The concepts were later adapted into Western Esotericism. The left-hand path involves unconventional practices that help achieve spiritual liberation. In contrast, the right-hand path focuses on conventional practices such as meditation and ethical behaviour. Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky were influential occultists who popularised these concepts. Nowadays, many esotericists reject the dichotomy between the two paths and focus on a more holistic approach to spirituality and magic.

Baroque

The Baroque period, a response to the Counter-Reformation, was characterized by a grand, ornate, and dramatic style in art. The Church, as the primary patron of Baroque art, aimed to inspire piety and devotion in the faithful. The period was a time of political upheaval and social change, including the Thirty Years' War. Baroque art, with its grandeur, drama, dynamism, and emotion, used dramatic lighting, intense colours, and exaggerated forms to create emotionally charged and theatrical works. This emphasis on drama and emotion is a key aspect of the Baroque period. The era was filled with famous artworks, including Caravaggio's The Calling of Saint Matthew and Diego Velázquez's The Triumph of Bacchus.
