Left-Hand & Right-Hand Magick
The practical and ethically weighted course — the first time you're asked to actually apply power rather than study a system, using the symbolic literacy built in Course 04. Right-Hand Path traditions generally frame the goal as union with the divine and dissolution of the separate self; Left-Hand Path traditions generally frame it as the deliberate strengthening of the individual self. Presenting both fairly, as a real polarity rather than a good-versus-bad split, is the point.
The RHP/LHP distinction itself, and why it's a genuine philosophical fork rather than a moral one; RHP ceremonial and devotional practice; the LHP tradition's more antinomian figures and ideas, treated seriously and without sensationalism; and the ethics of working with will and power deliberately, in relation to other people.
A structured exercise in directed will — a simple, ethically bounded working of your own choosing — followed by a written reflection specifically on the ethical dimension of what was done and why.
The symbolic literacy built there is used directly here.
This is the curriculum's first course of deliberate practice rather than study alone.
RHP and LHP are treated as a genuine polarity, not a moral hierarchy.
