An eye opening book.
When Anton LaVey,founder of the Church of Satan,passed away he left some very large shoes to fill. But having read this book I can definitely say that Peter H. Gilmore is doing a wonderful job of leading the Church of Satan so far.
For anyone considering becoming a satanist, or anyone who just wants to learn what satanism is all about, this book and "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey are the the best places to start. I would strongly recommend reading "The satanic Bible" first as it will help you to understand the essays within this book a lot easier.
Mr Gilmore writes several essays in which he expands upon and explains in depth the teachings and philosophy of LaVey as well as writing several essays based upon his own observations of society. In this book he explains the satanists opinion on topics such as terrorism, gay marrige and the Columbine school massacre.
The second half of the book contains the rites to a number of satanic rituals, including the satanic wedding and the satanic funeral, which have never before been released to the public. All in all it is a very enlightening read and a great book which I give my highest recommendation. But I am sure even the author himself would admit that it isn't for everyone, just "a few outstanding individuals".
