Anyone who seriously thinks about their life realizes, pretty soon, that there are two paths that are open to them: a path that takes you to where you want to be faster and a slower path.

In occult terms, the path that takes you to your goals faster is known as the left-hand path, whereas the slower path is known as the right-hand path. The left-hand path is often characterized as an “evil” path, whereas the right-hand path is seen as more “righteous”.

No matter which path you follow, though, there is a problem of balance. Before we look at the problems, though, let’s make sure we know what we’re talking about when we talk about the left-hand and right-hand paths.
