Sinisterism Monograph

Contained here is the main aspects of Sinisterism. As this monograph will demonstrate, Sinistersim is a mode of practice more so than a dogmatic or strict philosophy or system.

• Freedom- Sinisterism encourages practitioners to explore any and all doors and pathways on the left hand, and in doing so, synthesize many influences into a self styled system that is uniquely yours and gets worked into as you progress.
•  
•  Interpretation- Sinistersism is informed by the fact that interpretation is an inherent part of not only the LHP, but also human nature in general. People will (and in the Sinisterists view, should) put a little bit of themselves into their believe, weather intentional or not. 
•  
• Irrelevance Of Theism- To be a Sinisterist does not mean necessarily being Atheist or of a more Theist mind, for Sinisterism is not meant to dictate a believe or dogma to its practitioners. Quite the contrary, we realize that the LHP is a very personal journey. Some start as Atheists and turn more Theistic through experiences during ritual practice. Others go through the opposite process. The art of Sinistra Arcana does not require having any one believe for practice. 
•  
• Focus On Adversarial Forces (Current)- Although Sinisterism advocates the use of any force or "being" one wishes to call upon, it is also understood that throughout the history of human religion and spiritualism, the one who guarded the gate of knowledge (almost always dark and forbidden yet always holding the truth) , the one who had the keys to true human nature, the keys to true magic and self validated power was The Adversary. By whatever name you call it,this is the force that has been challenging mankind for centuries and has always been the true god of the world and humans.  This is Sinistersim and the latin word "Sinistra" meant left and was symbolic of the opposite or dark forces. Understand that Satan was  and is all en- composing word for the great adversary. Hail The Satan for it is the embodiment of the LHP.
•  
• Self Styled Ritual Practice-Although certain rituals will be given to Sinisterists to perform, this is simply to share ideas, concepts and ceremony that may be useful for practitioners. These rites can also be used as practice rites for new comers or just a piece to add to your daily practice. NO effort shall be made to dictate technique or formula of rituals. Look to whatever source draws you and always use your instincts when crafting rituals.
