So basically all of them? Okay well I can't speak for Shakta or the much more rare Vaishnava LHP sects. I'm more refering to LHP Shaivism but check out Kaula:

https://www.amazon.com/Triadic-Heart-Siva-Tantricism-Abhinavagupta/dp/0887067875

That's the first book that usually comes to mind for me on Shaivite Kaula. It's kinda hard to do alone (traditionally speaking it's group-based and you need a guru) but it might give you a good start since it's a householder path and thus you don't need to be an ascetic. It's based around following Aham "heart" and finding enlightenment through personal avenues. Trika/Kashmir Shaivism in general has a lot of LHP and RHP traditions.

So even just reading say the Shiva Sutras of Vasugupta and finding your way to Shivagama by way of your own LHP journey is also acceptable and basically what I do with influences from all the different Shaiva LHP sects as well as things like Satanism ect

If you are interested in my approach I actually blogged about this about a month ago and either way it should give you some general info that might help you in the right direction: https://kapalika108.wordpress.com/2017/07/25/my-tantra-of-shiva-and-satan/ (I own the domain name but am sorting out a new wordpress-based host atm)

An important note but in Trika the godhood is both individuated and nondual at the same time... it's personality infinately multiplied. One's consciousness maintains an unbroken chain from limited to unlimited awareness unlike Advaita Vedanta or Samkhya where the self is said to be only illusion. The Jaidev Singh commentaries on the Sutras talk about this at length at one point.

My suggestion is to take LaVeyan Satanism(and the Satanic Bible) with a grain of salt, at least when you are starting out. I'm not saying there isn't something deeper to any of it, but a surface reading is going to get you mired in what is largely a satire on Christianity aimed at duping the credulous into giving the Church of Satan money.

As you read any subject you should not be doing so with the express purpose of looking for something to believe in. Discover what you believe in as you go based on your experiences and through finding out what will produce results, because ultimately if it doesn't change your life and help you manifest your will/desire, then it's not worth anything more than make believe.

Develop critical thinking skills

I normally recommend these works for beginners:

The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult

Liber Null

Condensed Chaos

Get a copy of this, read it, understand it, try it. It gives an overview of what you're dealing with, you get an idea how the practice and the actual work is like. Then use your newfound knowledge and google-fu to find out what you really want to work with. Voudou, Saturn stuff, Goetia, eastern LHP, Qliphoth work, muslim demons or whatever. Like every path the so-called "dark side" is a big colorful bouquet of fun.

Main advance in every reply to ambitioned beginners: Practice! Practice, practice, practice! Don't just read up on stuff, work with it. There world is too full of armchair magicians, and being a wise-ass on the internet won't get you neither money nor sexual partners.

Phil Hine's Pseudonomicon is pretty essential here.

She has a book too, if anyone is interested
