My review is for a physical copy of this book.
So far the author has a biased opinion about what a Satanist actually is, why they are a Satanist or what they believe, their spiritual practices and things a Satanists would or wouldn't do.
Satanists aren't a Satanist just because they reject Christianity (this only applies to some people that are a former Christian) it doesn't apply to all types of Satanists or Occultists.
There are different types of Satanists and they have separate beliefs, spiritual & occult practices.
It's inaccurate & incorrect to just assume that you can ask a demon for exactly what you want and to have the audacity to autonatically assume that you will get exactly what you want.
You can make a pact with a demon to ask for specific things they could help you with, but demons, the demonic divine have free will so they may or may not choose to help you, it depends on your true intentions, if you show them respect and if your energy resonates with them.
You have to work hard for what you have asked for, so you are energetically aligned with your purpose, so ypu can manifest and achieve your goal in reality.
Some people don't understand that about demons because they are ignorant.
I don't agree with some of the things the author speculates and assumes about Satanism, Satanists or their spiritual beliefs & occult practices.
Blood is significant in occult practices for black magick or Satanic rituals, it is symbolic, it is the energy, the lifeforce of a living person, blood is the currency in the spiritual realm.
Satanists don't sacrifice animals & people, blood is used for practicing blood magick, it is a offering to demons, sonetines for a Deity, but some demons and Deities think it is distasteful to offer your blood as a offering.
It depends on your spiritual beliefs, practices and who you resonate with spiritually, magically, astrally.
Some Satanists are hedonistic, sone aren't which is fine, but all Satanists believe in consent, bodily autonomy and human rights.
Any self-proclaimed Satanist, or delusional, attention seeking pesudo-Satanist wannabe that sacrifices people, animals, is a rapist, peadophile, murderer, blood drinker or cannibal is not a Satanist.
They are a devil worshipper which is totally different and they aren't recognized as true, genuine Satanists because what they are doing/have done is immoral, illegal, disgusting and it goes against their religious/spiritual beliefs, tenets of their religion.
Depending on the type of Satanists the author has writen about in his book, some Satanists don't believe in Satan, demons are actually real, LeVayan Satanists are atheistic Satanists
Luciferians believe in the Roman version of Lucifer- The Lightbearer, The LightBringer, they don't believe in the Christian version of Satan and Lucifer is only mentioned once in the Christian Bible.
Baphomet is not Satan either, it's completely different demons that Satanists, Luciferians believe in that have nothing to do with Christianity.
If people in general are going to write about Satanism, from either a historical or modern point of view I wish they would at least do their own research first instead of just expressing their biased, inaccurate, incorrect, offensive opinion about it just because they are a Christian.
Lucifer & Satan are NOT the same being.
Satan is associated with Saturn and Saturnalia so the worship of Saturn is the worship of Satan.
Lucifer is associated with Venus which is associated with a Goddess so Lucifer has a feminine aspect to them and that's why some people believe Lucifer is female.
