The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey
4.0
Overall, not bad. It's a little confusing once LeVay begins talking about the rituals and stuff. It really seems as if he wants you to believe that these rituals do have a sort of magickal aspect to them but then again as he stated earlier in the book and other places, LeVayan Satanism is atheistic and not theistic. And at times it comes across as if he really is talking about gods and spirits and energies rather than science backed psychological and dogmatic processes that really help the practitioner achieve their goals mundanely. Aside from that, it was an interesting read and I enjoy his self sustaining philosophy even if it's a little too influenced by Ayn Rand for my taste. I still do look forward to reading his other works for sure though.
