ART & SYMBOLOGY IN THE LEFT-HAND PATH (LHP)
It was by researching further into Abramovic' Spirit Cooking and specifically the sex magic element / recipe of the performance art, that we discovered 'Demons of The Flesh, The Complete Guide to Left Hand Path Sex Magic' by Zena Schreck, daughter of Anthony Lavey of the Church of Satan.
Lets take a look at what 'Demons of The Flesh' says specifically about Left-Hand Path symbology in art, through these excerpts -
"The secrets of the Tantras were encoded in aesthetic form by INITIATED ARTISTS working as painters, musicians, sculptors and dancers. The creative urge of the artist, a drive that usually separates the creator from the mores and values of society, is a symbol of the UNORTHODOX ENERGY required by the Tantric magician.
To create STIRRING ART of any kind is to become A WORLD-MAKER AND A GOD, and creativity of this kind has always been linked to the Black Arts, in the West and in the East." (section 67, Demons of The Flesh)
"Indeed, many of the Tantric practices, which include the drawing of magical symbols (yantras) and the previously described uttering of invocatory words of power (mantras) are similar to the ritual procedures of the traditional Western Black Arts, providing a link between the magicians of both cultures." (section 67, Demons of The Flesh)
So here we learn that according to the LHP, artists, musicians and dancers are the means of which Left-Hand Path secrets (Tantras), and symbols are encoded. The initiated LHP artists who create compelling art become 'world-makers and 'gods'. The Left-Hand Path is apparently a secretive occult doctorine which uses symbology as a means to communicate with other magicians while remaining hidden to others.
The excerpt below may be alluding to secrecy, so that LHP magicians can do their work in recreating the world -
"Try to delete the use of as much vague magical and occult jargon from your vocabulary as possible, always aiming at a higher and more specific level of precision and accuracy. Thus do the magi of the left-hand path begin their work of recreating the world." (section 165, Demons of The Flesh)

Part 1
Essential Principles Of The Left-Hand Path
-
SELF-DEITY - Through ritualised states of extreme ecstasy and attraction of opposite energies, creating a third magical power which transcends the human and can potentially forge a divine state of being (transform man into God).
Excerpts:
"We are focused here on the Great Work, the sex-alchemical transformation of human to DEMI-DIVINITY, not the development of a few parlous parlor tricks."
“The left-hand path is firmly focused on SELF-DEIFICATION -"
“As a brain-child created by the polarized erotic energies of male and female sexuality generated by its authors, this book illustrates how the combined sexual force of two magicians can create a DAEMONIC THIRD ENTITY.”
-
SHAKTI - The Feminine Daemonic as the driving factor for both male and female initiates of the left-hand path.
Excerpts:
"It is important to point out early in our survey that this FEMININE PRINCIPAL exalted in the left-hand path is NOT the social role of WOMAN as self-sacrificing, passive wife and fertile mother figure honored by conventional religions."
"Although shakti harkens back to the now suppressed archaic understanding of ESSENTIAL WOMAN as HOLY WARRIORESS, DIVINE HUNTRESS, and SACRED WHORE or HIERODULE, the feminine principle sought by left-hand path initiates ultimately transcends WOMAN as a natural phenomenon altogether, venturing into the non-natural shadow side of HER POWER.
-
TABOO-BREAKING - Voluntary violation of deep-seated taboos, separation from conventional values and radical transgressions of orthodoxy through physical actions.
Excerpts:
"In this sense, the left-hand path represents DELIBERATE HERESY against the dominant culture of the practitioner (whatever that culture maybe), a BREAKING of sleepwalking ORTHODOXY in favor of a fully conscious state of wide awake being."
“He or she strives to reach a state of mind in which ALL FORMS OF ORTHODOXY must be QUESTIONED and REJECTED.”
"A STATIC, DUTIFULLY PLAYING BY THE RULES is POISON to the SINISTER CURRENT initiate. The left-hand path is unique among metaphysical traditions in that it DELIBERATELY REPUDIATES all and any SACRED COWS that lumber into view. Whether left-hand path initiates are located in Bombay, Manchester, Sydney, or Cincinnati, a MUTUAL DISCIPLINE is to KEEP A SHARP EYE OUT FOR ONE'S OWN” SACRED COWS, SLAUGHTERING THEM RUTHLESSLY as a means to PERSONAL POWER.
(Note from OP: Potential nefarious double meaning for the word "sacred cow", here).

Essential Principles Of The Left-Hand Path
-
ELITIST INITIATION - The Left Hand Path and its Sinister Current can only be communicated to certain individuals (initiates must be chosen).
Excerpts:
"The left-hand path is CLOSED to the COMMON MAN and WOMAN, who is regarded as little more than a HERD-ANIMAL."
"The sinister current is considered FIT ONLY for the temperament of the HEROIC WARRIOR or DIVINE INDIVIDUAL."
-
FROM BODY TO ILLUMINATION - Full confrontation with physical and psychic existence.
Excerpts:
"Although the left-handed gnosis expands human consciousness to divine states of being outside the constraints of time and nature, this is NOT a path that leads to some nebulous ELSEWHERE in the GREAT BEYOND.
"One of the MYSTERIES of the left-hand path is that "ELSEWHERE" is right here in your OWN BODY. So, the sinister way aims for liberation in THIS LIFETIME and in the initiate's current PHYSICAL BODY, rather than in an afterlife state or via reincarnation."
What is the end goal of the Left Hand Path Sex Magic and Sinister Current?
The end goal of the LHP is to seemingly create a CHAOTIC, APOCALYPTIC, DISINTEGRATING world.
Excerpts:
“One might say that left-hand path sex magic is a form of initiation consciously DESIGNED for a HOPELESSLY FUCKED UP WORLD.”
“The left-hand path philosophy posits that it is the METHOD BEST SUITED FOR THE APOCALYPTIC and out of kilter times in which mankind currently exists, an era the traditional Indian left-hand path discipline recognizes as the Kali Yuga.”
“Step one is to reject the sorrow and despair such times may inspire and JOYFULLY EMBRACE THE CHAOS of the DISINTEGRATING WORLD, this shimmering and illusory spectacle that emanates from the vulva of dark Kali.”
“In attempting to set the record straight on what the left-hand path is, we are only BEGINNING THE GREATER TASK of ESTABLISHING a CONGRUOUS WORKING MODEL of the SINISTER CURRENT in the WEST. Built, as it must be, upon the ruins of the CONFUSION of the past, that working model may well TAKE ANOTHER FIFTY TO A HUNDRED YEARS to truly TAKE HOLD.”
How do the LHP and Sinister Current initiates and adepts view the common man and woman and, what demeaning and insulting words do they use to describe them?
Example of DEROGOTARY words used to describe the masses:
1- BLEATING MEAT OF THE HUMAN-HERD
2- DELUSIONAL CROWD
3- UNTHINKING PASSIONS OF THE MASSES
4- DISINTEGRATING WORLD
5- HERD-ANIMAL MAN
6- HERD ANIMAL
7- HUMAN ANIMALS
8- BESTIAL CONDITION OF MOST HUMAN BEINGS
9- MEN ARE CLEARLY NOT EQUAL
10 - LAZY AND IGNORANT
11- LESS ADVANCED HUMANS
