ABSTRACT
Stephen Edred Flowers, also known under the name Edred Thorsson, has been active in various esoteric organizations since the early seventies, most notably the Temple of Set, the Rune-Gild and the Ring of Troth. The following passage is taken from the introduction to the book Lords of the Left-Hand Path, laying the conceptual ground work and definitions necessary for the subsequent analysis of manifestations of the Left-Hand Path. The book covers most traditions associated with the Left-Hand Path in the East and West (including the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set) covering a period from approximately 500 BCE to the late eighties.
