Crimson Path

Crimson Path to exploit the hypocrisy within mankind and destroy the politicoreligious systems founded upon it, while mankind destroys themselves, their goal is to rebuild the world where humans are slaves and cattle. It is associated with the reddish sandy desert called ad-Dahna or the Crimson Desert.

In Arabian mythology and magic there are mentioned about the “Old Ones” and connecting them to Irem and the Rub al Khali. Irem is the lost city, the Lost Atlantis of the Arabian Desert. The Crimson Desert is the central division of the Arabian Desert that connects the an-Nafud desert in the north to Rub' al-Khali desert in the south. In allegory the “Rub al Khali” is the state where one entered in an altered state of consciousness (somewhere between dreams and the complete absence of thought) by Arab magicians called the Muqarribun. Irem represents that part of the Rub al Khali “Empty Quarter” that acts as the connection to the Void. In this state of consciousness, the Muqarribun can receive knowledge and interact with the “Old Ones.”  The magicians receives knowledge and communes with the Void and then he or she achieves Annihilation. Annihilation is the supreme attainment where the magician’s entire being is devoured and absorbed into the Void. The self or “soul” (nafs i ammara) is utterly and completely destroyed by this process. The Void is where the Crimson Dragon dreams in the Void or abyss ready to devour souls. The cult of the Crimson Hand of Death takes the myth literally as to seek to raise the Crimson Dragon within in order to usher in the day when they will control the world as the hidden ones, the “Old Ones” also known as Djinn.

The Crimson Dragon is the symbol used for the Crimson Hand of Death and Lady Aika also uses it as a stamp for the brand of heroin called the red dragon.
