Temple of Satan: Pact With the Devil

by The Dark Lords

This volume contains the first two books in the Temple of Satan’s series on diabolism and black magick. They provide an introduction to the doctrine, practice and literature of Devil-worship. They may be read by anyone seeking diabolical knowledge and inspiration, but they are intended particularly for those who wish to become initiated members of our Order of Satanic Templars: the black priesthood of our worldwide organization of Devil-worshippers. Book I introduces the reader to the doctrine, black magick and rites of the Order. You will learn of the prophetic ideas that inspire us, the theory and practice of black magick and Satanic Temple rites and the diabolical life-ways of our kind. Book I culminates in the First Gate trials, which require the Aspirant to make a pact with the Devil, among other diabolical things. Book II is an introduction to the classical literature of Devil-worship and black magick that gives Aspirants deeper knowledge of our religion and fuel for their infernal imaginations.

Extreme Satanism which focuses a lot on the birth of the Antichrist. Therefore a lot of the TOS endevours are concerned with the ritualistic conception of the satanic offspring.

Some issues i had:
- They propagate a Monodiabolism: Which means they identify different masks of the Devil in different cultures and unite these different masks into one entity they call Devil/Diabolus. As example they mention along others Kali, Cernunnos, Lucifer, Tezcatlipoca. In my opinion an impermissible restriction of the path.
- One half of the book only contains excerpts from satanic novels, essays or short stories by other, often well known authors (for example Huysmans, Lévy...). They incorporate these to convey some satanic truths and educate the reader on historical satanism. The chosen ones are good and worthy to get read but making one half of the book about it was a little bit too much.

But overall an interesting addition to your satanic library.
