Friedrich Nietzsche and the Left Hand Path

“Now I belong to the Devil. I go with him to Hell. Break, break, poor hearts of stone!”

Friedrich Nietzsche from The Dawn of Day.

For the seeker of truth, an encounter with tragedy and the innermost abyss is inevitable. An unrepentant spirit of liberating self-analysis edifies Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy and in doing so establishes it as a foundation for religious, moral, and political antinomianism, anarchy, and dissent. For many of the subversive movements over the past 130 years, Nietzsche’s name has remained ever-present, with his philosophy stoking, even emblazoning the black flame of independent thought in the hearts and minds of those who have chosen to question and counteract.

Nietzsche’s influence on the Left Hand Path and Satanic milieu is undeniable – the concept of the will to power, the overman/Übermensch, the Dionysian force, active and passive nihilism, slave morality, life-affirmation, etc. – has been absorbed into the writings of foundational esoteric thinkers who have over time proceeded to forge a path for contemporary religious heterodoxy and an antinomian esoteric tradition.

Many have understood Nietzsche’s philosophy as being wholly deconstructive or antinomian; however, a comprehensive analysis on Friedrich Nietzsche and the Left Hand Path emphasises the positive rebuilding of values after the deconstruction of nihilism. Through a careful analysis of Left Hand Path philosophy, along with its fundamental tenets of contemporary religious Satanism, has led the author to question the problem of nihilism as defined by Nietzsche. Consequently, Friedrich Nietzsche and the Left Hand Path produces a deeper understanding of the effects of nihilism, self-destruction, decadence etc. while providing solutions for overcoming it. Moreover, this book consequently explores the possibility that Satanism, as a modern religious phenomenon, reconciles the passive nihilism of our day.

HYMNS OF THE RED DRAGON

Forthcoming from Theion Publishing, 2026.

For centuries, the devoted karcist has relied upon scant portrayals and derivative texts to engage the spirits of the Solomonic tradition. Most of these historical evocational rites echo a call of subjugation and coercion, ritual operations dictated by a blasting rod within an Abrahamic framework and whose ultimate purpose is to extract from them little else beyond worldly acquisition.

Hymns of the Red Dragon seeks to develop a more thorough understanding of these daemons and develop a theurgic devotion built upon an emancipatory sacred arte. The hymns contained herein will follow a comprehensive scholarly analysis of each spirit, and together they will forge an elevated religious praxis.

In the end, this work aims to sacralize the commitment of the karcist. Moreover, it seeks to transcend the boundaries of conventional occult practice, transforming the circle of arte into a temple. Within this hallowed sanctum, an informed demonolatry practice is nurtured, dedicated to a devotional journey to encounter the most beautifully elusive and liberating spirits ever beheld by Man - an endarkened divinity seeking to merge with the human heart.
