Den första delen med mer filosofisk syn på ateistisk satanism är oerhört intressant. Den andra delen med magiska ritualer ger jag inte mycket för, då jag inte tror på magi som inte bygger på naturvetenskap och som ju är orsaken till att jag inte är religiös.
Väl värd att läsa dock.
Hail Satan! 🤘 😎

This... Book... Was... AWFUL... From a writing perspective alone, it was absolutely a terrible read and felt more like the rantings and ravings of a lunatic than a well thought out manifesto to become the basis of a religion.
That being said, some of the core concepts of the book are interesting and I can see why people are drawn to the hedonistic and carnal nature that LaVeyan Satanism presents. It's easy to be drawn into the scenario of giving into your own desires and to do everything you can to ensure those desires are achieved.
That being said, I think Murder face of Metalocalypse said it best when he said it's all the same. (https://youtu.be/2J6nU600HDU) This book talks consistently about hypocrisy and how much it aims to be the manifesto of the Satanist, but at the end of the day, if you substitute Shemhamforash and Hail Satan for In Jesus name we pray and Amen, you'll find that it's nothing more than just a giant piece of hypocritical text substituting one diety for another in an attempt to glorify them to the authors own end.

Foi um equívoco comprar esse livro num kindle, quando seu real valor (pra mim) deve ser primeiro de assustar as pessoas na rua e segundo de poder consultar de forma tátil com mais facilidade os princípios contidos nele.
Esse livro é mais interessante do que o esperado por ser consciente do seu absurdo. Ele foi feito para parecer assustador ou estranho e admite a charlatanisse inerente ao satanista.
Um dos pontos negativos sao a filosofia objetivista que é parte do satanismo de LaVey, que neste livro parecem ter o objetivo apenas de se tornar um oposto simétrico à religião católica. O outro ponto negativo é que o LaVey é um idiota.
O maior ponto positivo, pra mim, é a percepção do valor de rituais religiosos enquanto performance e dramatização e a descrição de rituais satânicos, bem como princípios e magias, que podem ser usados para isso. No final essa é a parte de fato divertida e interessante.

Simply not that interesting. Not actually occult and the shock value wears off half-way through the book, at which point you realize this is basically semi-spiritual libertarianism.
The idea of doing rituals from an atheistic point of view is kind of cool, but if you're going in that direction, you might as well read some books on chaos magick, which generally are way more creative than the extremely basic ideas proposed here.
The other part of the book that was kind of cool was the part on lesser magick, but that also isn't expanded on that much.
