Ep 106: A Hole In The Shape Of God Up is Down Podcast

Greetings to all living and dead. Thank you for listening to the Up Is Down podcast and double thank you to all who support this work. Following episode 101, The Sheep and The Goat, I had the opportunity to speak with someone who is not only far along his own individual path, but who also provides a school and the tools for others to carve out their own spiritual journey. Of course I'm speaking of Thomas LeRoy, founder of The Sect Of The Horned God, whose inspiring words were included in episode 101.

Thomas LeRoy and I had a wonderful, stimulating conversation about philosophy, psychology and myth. It's such a pleasure to speak with someone on a purely philosophical level and it reminded me of the origin of Up Is Down before the fascistic scientism takeover. In this conversation Thomas revealed how it was that he embarked on his own spiritual path, a Left Hand Path, and what it is that draws one to the "darker side" of art, history, and philosophy and how the spiritual figures of antiquity have been, and are still co-opted and misrepresented for better or worse.

We discuss the archetypal origin of the horned deities, the roots of Left Hand Path spirituality, the difference between Sinisterism and the Left Hand Path vs. cereal box satanism so prevalent in modern culture, as well as the benefits of both Left and Right Hand Paths.

What is the Shadow and why integrate it into one's consciousness?
What is sigil magick?
How does Hinduism translate to the Left Hand Path?
Is there any truth to Sinisterism and the LHP being a vehicle for neo fascism?
Is it necessary to exclude oppositional philosophy and spiritual practice from your own Left Hand Path?

These questions and more are answered in this fascinating talk with the founder of The Sect Of The Horned God, Thomas LeRoy.

Beneath the pointy veneer of this man I found much grace and common ground. Through his studies and discipline Thomas holds up a philosophical mirror and asks a simple question,
"Do you see yourself?"

Please check out his diverse and meaty youtube channel and learn for yourself more about which path you might already be on, perhaps even before you were born.
