Chernobog: The left-hand path sorcerer

I don’t know about you, but it was love at first sight when I set my two eyes on Chernobog. I know a lot of people would go for Shadow Moon, but seeing Chernobog all hot, bloody, and hairy, well that was kind of a turn on for me. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s because I love black men. Or maybe it’s because I have an unhealthy fascination with the left-hand path. All I know is that the god of evil and darkness sure looks good in his t shirt stained with animal blood, his swallow and wrinkled skin, his cigarette dangling from his mouth. And don’t even get me started about his bloody hammer. So, in this episode of witchy or bitchy we’re going to talk about the infamous Chernobog and his quest to becoming the left-hand path sorcerer.

What is the left-hand path?

Are you someone who is attracted to danger? Do bad things constantly happen to you and you can’t understand why? Are you the quote unquote negative person in your group? Do you have ruminating and invading thoughts, but feel like you can’t share them with anyone? Do people always tell you to think positive, but yet you can’t help to think about the worse possible scenario? Do your worst fears come true? Well, there is a reason for that. You my friend are a left-hand path person, forced to travel the right-hand path. Like many left- handed people, you were forced to conform, making you irritable, and a little apprehensive, and somewhat weird. Not to worry, you didn’t do anything wrong. And being a left-hand path person doesn’t mean that you’re demonic or evil. It just means that you have another fuel source. That fuel source being dark energy and dark matter.

Guide to the left-hand path

We left-handed path people are the weirdos of society. Mostly because we refuse to conform and secondly because we are not taught how to use our own power. The second we are born we are forced into some form of religious rite, community, or organization. Our mind is hijacked, and our free will is stolen as we spiral further and further into a life that really isn’t for us. Yet, we are afraid to leave, partly because we fear the loneliness, isolation, and judgement. So, in order for us to manifest as our whole and complete selves, we have to reject society and the limits that they put on us. This is scary for a lot of people, especially if you were knocked over the head and forced into being a right-hand person. However, it is not so scary once you understand your power and how to tap into it.


Down the left-hand path

Now the biggest difference between the left-hand path and the right-hand path is fuel source. Right hand path people are getting a great deal of their energy strictly from earthly matter. What does this mean? It means that they’re getting most of their energy source from the communities from which they belong to. When people of a certain sector or fate come together in worship, they’re pulling their power together and making it stronger to siphon from. Just think about a program like Tanda. It’s a community of people creating a pool of money, where one lucky person hits big and gets the whole pot. Or people can simply pull their money/ energy together and divide it into equal sums. However, we all know that things don’t always go as planned. Greedy and corrupt officials are constantly dipping in the pot, making it more difficult for others to receive real benefits. Yet, we are constantly forced to join this organization and that institution. When these organizations really don’t do much to help us grow.

Left hand path v right hand path

And that my friends is the right-hand path. It is a path where winners take all, and many people are forced to live in deprivation and/or abject poverty. Yet, the Left-Hand path is all about breaking away from these systems. It’s all about finding your own way, creating your own rules, and to reject the system entirely. And that’s what the dark lord Chernobog from American Gods represents. To the right-hand path people, he is the god of evil and darkness. To the left-hand path people, he represents rebellion, destruction of outdated values and norms, and non-conformity. He is the god that teaches us how to tap into the alternative fuel source, dark matter. Let me explain to you how.

Odin and the left-hand path

There is a reason why Odin needed Chernobog to join his war. In case you didn’t know this, Chernobog is Bielebog’s estranged brother. In Slavic methodology, he is called the black god. And in Western culture, we understand anything or anyone who is black to be evil, violent, and deadly. In Slavic literature, Chernobog is only briefly mentioned. His disciples or followers were known to sacrifice dozens if not hundreds of cattle in his name. Those who didn’t make a sacrifice was stricken with misfortune, suffered through a long famine, or died from malady and disease. Chernobog was believed to be an evil deity, who thrived on pain and suffering. He takes pride in causing others pain. However, this was the Christian interpretation of Chernobog. Other sources said that Chernobog and his brother were in a constant battle. When Beilobog, the white lord won, their disciples would be blessed with a long endless summer, abundant crops, and fertility and love. When Chernobog won, the evil and dark brother, the disciples were hit by endless winter storms. In truth, the brothers work like the yin and yang forces of Eastern philosophies. One, ruling the dark aspects of life and the other ruling the light.

The right hand path

It is very difficult to understand the deities of yesterday. Mostly because many of us have been indoctrinated with right hand path ideologies of how the world worked. For example, our ancestors were more in tune with nature. This meant that they didn’t demonize dark energy, or black gods. They simply accepted darkness as an integral part of who they were. As a result of this, they didn’t suppress negative energy. I go on major Bitch rant on how suppressing negative is bad, bad, and bad in my other article on Dexter and shadow work. But please don’t let me digress. Getting back to Chernobog and his disciples, when they suffered through hardships, or long cold summers, they would simply switch to another fuel source, the fuel source of dark matter. This allows them to manifest miracles and to find strength when they believed that all hope was lost.

Left hand path metaphysics

Now the left-hand path isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Oh no. It’s comes with its own hardships and struggles. In fact, I believe that the left-hand path is a harder road to travel down than the right. It is a process that involves constant pain and discomfort, and it encourages you to overcome your fears. Like I said, it’s not for the faint of heart. However, if you can master the left-hand path, you will be powerful beyond belief and be able to create a life that others can only dream about.

So, what do you think? Are you a left-hand path person, or a right-hand path person? Do you struggle with acceptance? Do you find that sometimes you’re able to tap into this alternative fuel source? I would love to hear your insights in the comments below. Meanwhile, I would love for you to subscribe, share, and grab a free copy of my latest book Phantom’s Row. Peace out.

The left-hand path represents evil to those on the right. However, it represents freedom and liberation to those on the left.
