Tag Left-Hand Path

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.
