 Both historic and modern Satanism are covered August 14, 2008
Satanism is popularly associated with hedonism and horror, but there are concrete facts which actually surround the practice of Satanism, and this reference gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism along with original source material to survey its history and practices. Both historic and modern Satanism are covered in a survey which discusses its practices, common misbeliefs, and modern concerns such as the role of the media in Satanistic coverage. An outstanding sourcebook and a 'must' for any library where Satanism and alternative beliefs are covered.

Well, I've read my share of books on satanism over time and this one takes the cake. I've just finished reading this one and I am ashamed of the entire thing from cover to cover. The book in itself at first glance appears to be a great work that will reveal a little more of the dark arts and then upon reading of the table of contents it is shown to be another wining book on ritual abuse and the misdrawn conclusions as if they are attempting to convince someone that today's satanism is actually legitimate. WHAT?!? HUH?!? Any cult or religion over time has had its fair share of bloodshed and tears and pains even satanism and most ESPECIALLY CATHOLOCISM (the basic worship of one deity). When you ask someone if they believe in a god and then upon their answer of no or yes automatically they are wrong because they don't know what you know. This is a religion based on fear and "Have to be right'rs" WTF! Satanism, on the otherhand, when practiced with the proper knowledge and enthusiasm reveals life's secrets and allows the magician to properly and appropriately utilize such workings to his benefit. Satanism advocates something that any religion of one deity has always strived to strip away from civilization, a CHOICE of not only WHAT to believe in, but how to believe in it and what belief actually is and how it may be appropriately used alongside CHOICE. Choice is a magical working even within itself. Yes, this does take some of the magic out of the practice of it, but to become a true magician you will come to understand this over time. Most other religions base their entire campaign on the fact that most people relinquish their CHOICE to people that don't even know how to make choices. Talk about blind leading the blind. This book only serves one purpose. To propose to the Pope and many christian and catholic followers alike that Satanism is OK, kids tested, mother approved!!! Click, Click, End of Surmin, now get the **** out!
