I want to recommend the great book. This books actually opened my eyes on religion and the lie I used to live in the past.

I get a huge amount of knowledge from Lord Satan that christianity and Bible is just a massive ripoff from many other older religions and traditions.

This is a book "The History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil" by Paul Carus

It's not actually about the devil... Lol, but how the idea of the adversary and the "bad" Entities was evolving during ages and also about how religions were ripping off from each other.

It's really great book. The author was an atheist however he was spiritual.

I highly recommend this book to everyone! :winkdevil:

Thank you for the tip, Nathaniel! I often read books and make recommendations on my blog. I will add this one to my list, as it sounds like something I would like. :devilthumbs:

Do not rely on ANYTHING, unexamined. If It does not seem to fit, ask about it. If it ultimately degrades or dishonors or holds you back, it is bad for you, so remove it from your life. If it takes from you and never gives back, it is a leech. Discard it. In magick rely only on your own work: What you have seen and done and used for your own self and in your own way. Only keep what in your own estimation is worth keeping. (Hellcat's Rules Of Satanic Magick)"

Don't get too close. It's Dark inside. It's where my Demons hide!

I have read great reviews of this book! I also have heard good review of Satan the biography. I'm trying to get good used copies of both, so hopefully soon I'll find them. I would love a broader understanding of what Satan is as a concept and how he developed into the concept of Evil. Does it discuss the development of dualistic thinking in culture?
