Within the Abrahamic faiths, blasphemy is regarded as one of the gravest sins, since it directly offends God, whether by insulting the divine name, denying sacred truths, or mocking holy figures. From this standpoint, blasphemy is classified as a particular kind of sin. From a Western Left-Hand Path perspective, however, such 'sins' can be reinterpreted and transformed, turning what is called poison into a personal elixir of power.
SEVEN LIFE-GIVING SINS 0f The WESTERN LEFT HAND PATH
1. Pride: Pride is a virtue, promoting self-esteem and self-worth. Pride motivates individuals to achieve greatness and a sense of achievement in their accomplishments.
2. Envy: Envy can be a motivating force, driving people to improve themselves and attain their desires. Envy encourages ambition and the pursuit of personal goals.
3. Gluttony: Gluttony is a natural indulgence. Enjoying life’s pleasures without guilt is encouraged, as long as it does not harm oneself or others.
4. Lust: Lust is a natural human desire. Embracing one's sexual desires and seeking consensual pleasure without shame is advocated.
5. Anger: Anger, when controlled and directed, can be a powerful force for change and self-assertion. It helps individuals stand up for themselves and protect personal boundaries.
6. Greed: Greed is a driving force for personal success and prosperity. It encourages individuals to strive for material wealth and improve their circumstances.
7. Sloth: Sloth is the avoidance of unnecessary labor. Efficiency and finding easier, more effective ways to accomplish tasks are advocated over unproductive effort.

I think this doesn't really do justice to the context of the 'seven deadly sins'.
Each 'sin' designates a negative quality, an 'extreme', an unbalance or disorder in what the Greeks called 'the passions' but which are better understood as the emotional complex. They are negative because they are indicators of a lack of self-understanding or self-insight; a lack of self-discipline or self-determination.
The positive qualities – insight and understanding, discipline and determination, are a necessary prerequisite of any path, Left or Right.
Pride (the product of narcissism) is not a sense of self-worth but an over-estimation of one's worth.
The opposite and equally negative extreme is servility, a sense of inadequacy – an under-estimation of one's worth.
I can go through each in turn, if you want, but I think I've made the point.
