At Satan’s Altar by Marie Ravensoul

Recommended to those who are maybe looking for a more religious based practice.
There are many devotionals included in this book which someone who is looking to deepen their connection with Satan will probably enjoy a great deal.
However it must be said that many of the verses and poems do have a deferential quality to them which may not sit so well with a practioner who sees Satan as a powerful ally and teacher, rather than a god to be worshipped in the Judeo-Christian sense of the word.
Her practices are overall rather formal, and she does give step by step instructions for things like altar construction, which some may feel is a little too formulaic for a path which revolves heavily around individual expression.
If you have no prior experience of Pagan or non Abrahamic spiritual practices and would like a more pre-constructed framework upon which you can embroider your own personal touch, then I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
If you would like a pleasing collection of poetry that you can incorporate into you practice, then again this book is recommended.
If you have your own ways of honouring the Dark Lords and those ways are based more around learning from these beings as friends and teachers, rather than simply outright serving them, then you could give it a miss.
This is not a spellbook, in fact the author’s approach reminds me of some Wiccan authors who see magick and spirituality as not necessarily requiring each other.
