The facts on the *conspiracy* now coming to a lonely town near

you!!! (You're reading the FAQ, so it's already here!)

_Paradise Lost_ by John Milton.

An epic poem telling the tale of Lucifer from when he is thrown

out of heaven, to the Fall of Adam and Eve. It makes Lucifer

into a heroic figure, whilst God is made out to be a little vague

and weak.

_The Divine Comedy_ by Dante.

Another epic poem in three parts (Inferno, Purgatorio and

Paradisio) covering the author's pilgrimage through them.

_The Prince of Darkness_ by Jeffrey Burton Russell, Cornell University

Press, 1988.

Historian's work on the history of Satan from earliest history

through the twentieth century. A summary of a four-book series

(The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, and Mephistopheles, by the same

author) which may be too much reading for casual interest.

_The Old Enemy_ by Neil Forsyth, Princeton University Press, 1987.

Another history of Satan focusing on the Middle East and early

Christianity.

_La-Bas (Down There)_ by J. K. Huysmans (1891?) translated by

Keene Wallace.

Fiction novel of the occult and the black mass in late

nineteenth century Paris.

H. P. Lovecraft, collected works.

Classic horror fiction that has served as inspiration for many

Satanists.

Frederick Neitzsche, various works

Neitzschean philosophies form the core of Satanism. Much of the _Satanic

Bible_ owes its philosophical and literary roots to works such as

_Thus Spoke Zarastrutha_ and _The Anti-Christ_ by Neitzche.

Michel Foucault, works

Though not a direct influence on Satanic thought, Foucault's work

extended and modernized that of Neitzsche, making it more applicable

to the present day. He is also largely responsible for the "post-modern"

philosophical movement.

_The Occult_ by Colin Wilson

An excellent objective introduction to the subject.

_Cosmic Trigger_ by Robert A. Wilson

This book describes various initiations and occult phenomena

experienced by Mr. Wilson.

wing Christians.

sudden personality change as occurs in religious cults, and the

_Who Wrote the Bible?_, by Richard Elliott Friedman, Harper & Row,

1987.

A biblical scholar attempts to answer the question of the title,

and in the process comes up with some interesting reasons for

events in _The Bible_ (why does Moses have horns? Why the scene

with the golden calf?). An interesting read, and possibly

amusing for the cynic.
