The Dance

"At the root of all left hand paths is an antinomian agenda, a plan of counter-active operations that will inevitably bring them into conflict with the presiding socio-political machine. This is a part of their nature. Many of them arise from previously oppressed religions, like paganism, and many, like Gnosticism, arise as counter-movements to the ubiquitious orthodoxies. All are born fighting. None could survive without a predominant rebellious attitude that serves as their strength in dark times."
