The term comes from Crowley's description of the "Brothers of the Left Hand" who shun absorption in Nuit and remain individuals. Before that it was used by Blavatsky. In certain Tantric ceremonies the female is positioned to the right of the male for religous ceremonies, to the left for erotic magic. Blavatsky didn't like erotic rituals, thus named all magic which she considered "evil" left-hand path magic. Xeper and Remanifest Rakshasa aka Setian Kevin T.
