This is an extensive study of Left-Hand Path individuals and groups from ancient times to modern movements such as the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set -- both of which have individual chapters in the book. Ancient paths include the Egyptian cult of Set, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, the Yezidis, Neoplatonists and the Greeks, the Germanics, the Slavs, the Assassins, Dualist sects, the Faustian path, the Hellfire Club, de Sade, Marx and the sinister aspects of Bolshevism. A whole chapter is devoted to Hitler and Himmler and the occult practices of Nazism. Other modern individuals analyzed include Blavatsky, Gurdjieff, Crowley, Spare, Gregorius and Gerald Gardner.

This Book is Forbidden,
By Warner Scroggins (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lords of the left-hand path: A history of spiritual dissent
Lords of the Left-Hand Path: A History of Spiritual Dissent by Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D. is a comprehensive rundown on all the major Left-Hand Path movements in recorded history and the personalities that shaped them. Here is a literal textbook showcasing not only the histories, but the actual beliefs and teachings of ancient cults, forbidden religious sects, medieval heretics, Faustian libertines and modern occultists.
Dr. Flowers clearly defines the difference between the benign white-light mysticism of the Right-Hand Path and the more volatile realm of the Left-Hand Path, and devotes his emphasis to the latter. Philosophers of the dark side, Satanists, even the Nazis themselves are examined with unheard-of objectivity and detail. With extensive bibliographical notes and numerous useful diagrams and illustrations, this book strips away the cloak of confusion and mystery surrounding these highly controversial subjects with tremendous clarity and insight. This is not a sensationalist propaganda piece or an oversimplified work of condemnation from an outside source. Perhaps the most "disturbing" aspect of this book is not its subject matter, but the disparity between the lurid myths attributed to its subjects and the reality discovered under the light of diligent scholarship. Thus this book is truly "forbidden." It earns my highest possible recommendation.

This review is from: Lords of the left-hand path: A history of spiritual dissent
Frivilous waste, but a great title. Save your money. I overspent on gaining a copy to find it a vast dissapointment, don't make the same mistake.
