Right Hand Path
A magical or spiritual orientation that directs occult power toward reverent service of the divine and the welfare of others, in disciplined subordination to a moral code — the positive complement to the Left-hand Path's self-aggrandizement, and the orientation an initiatory order upholds in barring seduction, extortion, and the sale of initiation for gain. Distinct from left_hand_path (the opposing orientation this concept mirrors) and theurgy (a specific ritual technique of divine engagement, not the standing ethical orientation of the practitioner).
