ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Left-hand path and right-hand path

Okay kiddo, so there are two types of paths that people can take when it comes to religion and spirituality: the left-hand path and the right-hand path.

The right-hand path is all about following rules and being very strict with your beliefs. It's like following a set of instructions and doing everything by the book. Most religions follow the right-hand path, like Christianity or Islam.

On the other hand, the left-hand path is more about doing what you want and not being limited by rules. It's like making your own path and not caring about what anyone else thinks. Some people who practice witchcraft or other alternative spiritualities follow the left-hand path.

So basically, the right-hand path is about following the rules and the left-hand path is about making your own rules. Both paths can lead to happiness and fulfillment, it just depends on what feels right for you.
