| The Satanic Scriptures by Scapegoat Publishing Fiendishly Intelligent |
| Gilmore includes a good selection of essays from the third perspective for three quarters of the book. The final bit includes the rituals for a marriage; funeral and one called the Rite of Ragnarok. While I agree with Mr. Gilmore's selections of Classical music I was also introduced to a few composers to which I've not had the pleasure of listening. What should be of interest here to the historian would be the articles related to the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980's and the Reaction to 9/11/2001. |
| The Satanic Scriptures by Scapegoat Publishing First promised in 2001, delivered in 2007, well worth the wait |
I had high expectations for this book and was particularly salivatig once I saw it could be preordered direct from scapegoat publishing
Before penning my own review, I read others so as not to do a paltry retread
Dr LaVey has been quoted as saying "Satanism demands study, not worship!" which applies here quite frequently
As a word of caution, those already familliar with High Priest Gilmore's essays as they appeared in other places may be disappointed, however, I was not. The "Satanists are facists" accusation is debunked in "The Facism Question" and three rites are included to round out the volume.
Much like "The Satanic Bible" there is practical knowledge to be applied as well as The writer's personal tastes.
For those that see Satanism as irrevocably linked to Heavy Metal, there are truly Diabolcal suprises within. As a personal note, no two Satanists are totally alike, just as no two trees are alike. Satanists live and believe in what suits THE SELF best, so long as it is legal, the only common thread being LaVey's "Satanic Bible" which others are quick to descredit as there are no demons lurking within the pages, just reality
In summation, this is not a tree of Forbidden Knowledge, but rather A sumptuious five course meal, or a Satanic Philharmonic Symphony
Hail undefiled wisdom
Hail Gilmore!
Hail Satan!
As an addendum, those not Famillar with Peter Gilmore and Satanism should see "The Satanic Bible" By the late Anton LaVey as well as Lavey's essay collections "Satan Speaks" and "the Devil's Notebook" |
| The Satanic Scriptures by Scapegoat Publishing blah |
| Just a word of warning to the average curosity seeker who wants to find out about satan,this book is not satanic at all this is by a satanist from the church of satan also known as lavey satanism which is not satanism at all its just atheism in other words they dont see satan as a real enity,and just use the symbolism of satan to garner atention for there atheist organization,if you are an athiest you do not need a church of anything just go about your life dont waste your money .Dont be fooled by the title avoid |
| The Satanic Scriptures by Scapegoat Publishing Refinement of Credo |
This tome is first of all, well bound and written on quality stock. It is well written and shows that the author is at ease with the style of writing that is conducive to cover to cover reading.
This volume hits it's intended mark; it expands and clarifies the philosophies set forth by LaVey over forty years ago. It shows that the Church of Satan is vigilant and faithful in their duties to prevent the same stagnation that has occurred with the christian bible. As society changes, so too do the principle everyone lives by. It is assuring that Magus Gilmore is living by the Satanic credo "Ever Forward".
Hail Satan! |
| The Satanic Scriptures by Scapegoat Publishing The New Face of the Devil |
I was given this book by a friend of the author. Although I've read Lavey's works and enjoyed them, I never really felt that he was speaking to me or my condition. The loss of the Black House in San Francisco further reduced my interest in Lavey's Church. However, The Satanic Scriptures is a newer, more organized, more mature approach to this Egoist philosophy and the ideas put forth in this book lack the overblown bravado of the Church's more sensationalist texts.
Although I am not a member of the CoS, I have to say, if the Church is to continue into the New Dawn, it will be because of the efforts of High Priest Gilmore and his excellent new book. |
