Left-Hand Path is not a free ticket to ride.
If you gotta go all the way if you choose to plunge into Darkness, engage in risky practices, go there alone. Do not drag anyone else with you.
Take full responsibility for living Life on the Edge. And, for chrissake, don’t be whining. When you fuck up and displease the Gods, stand tall. There is honor in taking the punishment just as there is honor in receiving honors. This is not a Path for the weak, or those seeking instant gratification, or constant assurance.
Faith is the Utmost Virtue of the Left-Hand Path, you are going to discover and it is hard to keep as well. The Gods will be blasphemed; Pacts will be torn apart and even that is a part of the Trials you will go through.
