Top 10 Sinister Current Left Hand Path Authors Options

Howdy,

Top 10 sinister current left hand path mythos authors

(in no particular order!!!)

1) Stephen Sennitt
Just the other day I recieved the little book The infernal texts: Nox and Liber Koth* by Stephen Sennit. And it made me very frustrated to have waited until eight years after its publication before discovering it. Anyways I think Sennitt deffinitly qualifies for a place on the top ten sinister authors. I like his take on the mythos - his little grimoire seems quite good from preliminary experiments with it.

2) Simon
Well, he is just an editor, but nevertheless :-)

3) Kenneth Grant
The brightest or darkest shining genious of the present time.

4) The couple Schreck

5) Howard Philip Lovecraft
THe sleeping prophet. In spite of his denial of the reality of the things he wrote about them he still wrote better than many occult authors.

6) ....

7) ...

8) ...

9) ...

10) ...


Well, I can't think of any more!!! So, what's up with that??? THere is a dar tarot in the making but since it isnt out or finished yet I cant list the designers of it.

Since we aim at apocalyptic overthrow of the present order and world domination I think we really should have at least a top ten list of authors!

Please help me with the last five!

Nox

P.S. * As anyone can deduce Sennits text is really about me and the book of Koth :-)

Are we thinking of left hand path as in writers for the "darker" roads of magick or just overall notorious writers who came out with some type of taboo in their magick? Although A.O. Spare and Crowely are rather sinister, I don't consider them "left hand" path writers though. For "Pacts with the Devil" I'd consider Jason S. Black a left hand path writer, but not overly sinister. Hmmm... A.O. Spare and Aleister Crowely both brought an incredible amount of information and techniques to the table for almost every present day occultist though, and I think some practitioners might be offended to think of them as "left hand path", seeing as most of their practices were for gaining personal empowerment through the divine not taking it from other people. No doubt they've done some questionable things, but I don't think they outright promoted it as a general practice in magick..after all Crowely said, "Love is the Law..."
