Re: Left Hand Path
There are many sites that can be used to gather information. Alot are satanic but of course the LHP covers much more than just satanism.
I will have a look and see if I can dig out any for you.

This Was Posted On The FCoBUK Yahoo! Egroup By Lord Belial (Cliff Jason Wilkinson) Founder of The First Church of Belial...Thought It Would Be Usefull...
What is the Left Hand Path? (LHP)
Left Hand Path (or LHP) is a term for categorizing religions. Left
Hand Path religions share most of the following characteristics:
An Agnostic view of the existence of gods and goddesses, often a
Plutonian-like view of gods and goddesses as "First-Forms".
The belief that people should strive to become as god/desses and
that some (probably not all) people have the potential to do so.
The rejection of Karma, Divine Retribution, Threefold Law, and
similar, in favor of self-determined codes of morality.
The goal of becoming god- or goddess-like and retaining one's
isolate intelligence and identity for as long as possible.
In addition to the distinctions made above, most Left Hand Path
religions accept:
The possible existence of both a male and female polarity of natural
forces.
The possible existence of more than one god.
That practice and knowledge, not faith, makes a Pagan.
That deity, internal and external, is both transcendent and
immanent.
That a person is solely responsible for his own actions and there is
no external salvation from the results of those actions.
That the forces of the universe can be bent to one's personal will
(magick).
That magick is based on natural laws and works in accordance with
scientific principles that cannot (yet) be explained.
The understanding that we are all interconnected to, and are an
inseparable part of, this Earth.
Satanists and some Pagans are considered to be Left Hand Path. On
the other hand, most Wiccans and Christians are considered to be
Right Hand Path.
Followers of the Left Hand Path sometimes utilize the symbol of a
goat or Baphomet. They sometimes refer to followers of the Right
Hand Path as sheep, implying that they exibit a "herd mentality."
