views of Satanism.
_Black Magic in Theory and Practice_, by Michael Aquino.

Purported ritual book of great efficacy. Generally regarded as

1972.
A Christian presents his alleged experiences in a Satanic cult
before his conversion to Christianity.
_Cornerstone_, Volume 21, number 98, "Selling Satan," Jon Trott & Mike
Hertenstein, 1992.
This gets *highest* recommendation. From a Christian magazine
which does a great job of discrediting Mike Warnke's accounts
mentioned in _The Satan Seller_ and elsewhere
_Do What You Will_ by Geoffry Ashe
A history of philosophers & groups who use this thelemic motto.
Especially nice history of the "Hellfire Clubs"
_Satanism: The Seduction of America's Youth_, Bob Larson, Thomas
Nelson Publishers, 1989.
The facts on the *conspiracy* now coming to a lonely town near
you!!! (You're reading the FAQ, so it's already here!)
_Paradise Lost_ by John Milton.
An epic poem telling the tale of Lucifer from when he is thrown
out of heaven, to the Fall of Adam and Eve. It makes Lucifer
into a heroic figure, whilst God is made out to be a little vague
and weak.
_The Divine Comedy_ by Dante.
Another epic poem in three parts (Inferno, Purgatorio and
Paradisio) covering the author's pilgrimage through them.
_The Prince of Darkness_ by Jeffrey Burton Russell, Cornell University
Press, 1988.
Historian's work on the history of Satan from earliest history
through the twentieth century. A summary of a four-book series
(The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, and Mephistopheles, by the same
author) which may be too much reading for casual interest.
_The Old Enemy_ by Neil Forsyth, Princeton University Press, 1987.
Another history of Satan focusing on the Middle East and early

nineteenth century Paris.
H. P. Lovecraft, collected works.
Classic horror fiction that has served as inspiration for many
Satanists.
Frederick Neitzsche, various works
Neitzschean philosophies form the core of Satanism. Much of the _Satanic
Bible_ owes its philosophical and literary roots to works such as
_Thus Spoke Zarastrutha_ and _The Anti-Christ_ by Neitzche.
Michel Foucault, works
Though not a direct influence on Satanic thought, Foucault's work
extended and modernized that of Neitzsche, making it more applicable
to the present day. He is also largely responsible for the "post-modern"
philosophical movement.
_The Occult_ by Colin Wilson
An excellent objective introduction to the subject.
_Cosmic Trigger_ by Robert A. Wilson
This book describes various initiations and occult phenomena
experienced by Mr. Wilson.
_Apocalypse Culture_ collected by Adam Parfey.
A shocking work, depicting the worldviews of various "fringe"
sects and individuals, ranging from necrophiliacs to ultra-right
wing Christians.

Conway & Jim Siegelman.
An interesting work utilizing information theory in the study of
sudden personality change as occurs in religious cults, and the
"Born-Again" phenomenon.

1987.
A biblical scholar attempts to answer the question of the title,
and in the process comes up with some interesting reasons for
events in _The Bible_ (why does Moses have horns? Why the scene
with the golden calf?). An interesting read, and possibly
amusing for the cynic.
