United Aspects of Satan: The Black Book, is an updated, professional version of the free PDF on the United Aspects of Satan website. This continues the philosophy of The Satanic Narratives. While the material is all available on the websites (uaofsatan.org and atheisticsatanism.com), this is the only way to get this material in print or on your e-reader. The exception is the one part that was in The Satanic Narratives. These essays build on the foundation of The Satanic Narratives, and show how the United Aspects of Satan developed from that. For those unfamiliar, the UAoS is an atheistic, Satanic religion, which incorporates skepticism and a Humanist style of secular ethics. It can best be summed up with the Baphomet Prinicple, but more details are available on the websites. The Baphomet Principle: Self-motivation balanced with compassion and reason, in all things.

For centuries the figure of Satan has incarnated absolute evil. Existing alongside more intellectualist interpretations of evil, Satan has figured largely in Christian practices, devotions, popular notions of the afterlife, and fears of retribution in the beyond. Satan remains an influential reality today in many Christian traditions and in popular culture. But how should Satan be understood today? "The Quest for the Historical Satan excavates cultural, historical, religious, and morally constructed productions of evil within Christianity, from myth and legend to the complex ways people conjure the embodiment of evil and harm. De La Torre and Hernßndez are engaging sleuths as they carefully examine Satan's conception and his presence in modernity and through the ages. The wrestle with the spiritual notions of Good and Evil and justice and injustice.-Cheryl A. Kirk-Duggan Professor of Theology and Women's Studies Shaw University Divinity School

The Satanic Praxis: Living the Narratives is a companion to The Satanic Narratives and a standalone, practical guide. It is full of instructions on rituals and meditations, as well as other psychological techniques, and invocations. Rituals are psychologically beneficial, much like meditation. This book removes all occult woo and superstition, while leaving the Satanic aesthetic, and maximizing the psychological benefit. It is concentrated therapeutic value coated in the symbolism and iconography of a rich, Satanic mythology. The eight archetypes of The Satanic Narratives each have their own praxis chapter in the middle section, including an invocation, mantra meditation, and more. There is also The Meditation of the Eight Infernal Aspects, The Reclamation of Reason, a set of ceremonies, and a black mass. There are additional items as well, and they are all customizable. Many of the items are modular and can be mixed and matched in various ways. There is even a section on creating your own rituals, and some notes pages. While it was written with a particular variation in mind, it is easily adaptable to any type of Satanism. While 'Narratives' supplied the philosophy, 'Praxis' supplies the cultural components. They are complimentary and provide an intricately elaborate Satanic experience.

Containing many candid interviews with modern-day Satanists and controversial rock stars, this book makes light of popular culture's darkest secret.

Product Description: The somewhat pretentious title, "In the Shadow of Satan" might imply that this book is a philosophical dissertation on the subject of good and evil. It is not. It is a compilation of memories, first of a young boy, and then of a young adult, from the bloodiest period of 20th century Europe-during the days of the Second World War and Soviet occupation. These tragic events are described as seen through the young eyes of an eyewitness to history. This book does not pretend to furnish detailed information on the Jewish-as well as Christian-holocaust. Yet because the author lived daily in the shadow of those two satans-Nazism and communism-he startlingly reveals an even more true picture than contemporary writing could ever accomplish. Last year the author visited places that he described in this book-places of horror, of suffering, of inhumanity. In the August sunshine no trace of the awful past was visible. Those who lived through that satanic past can never escape its horror. The youth of today do not have a clue. This book must find its way to today's young intellectuals so that the horrors of the past are not repeated. Political correctness today skews the reality of the past. In this book one can see that people of different walks of life, nationalities and ethnic backgrounds were both good and evil. In the gloom of despair-in some instances unprecedented-human nobility flowered like beautiful white lilies on stagnant black water. The American people-even professional historians-have quite limited information on the events which took place in Poland in the years 1939-1989. This simple tale provides a realistic picture of those days, and also shows that the human spirit is invincible and is able to survive and grow even in very difficult environments.

A handy, comprehensive guide to the awesome power and cult of Satan. Distilled from hundreds of reliable sources both religious and secular, the entries include men and movements, orders and objects, and rites and rituals.
