The Little Book of Satanism

1646044223

The Little Book of Satanism: A Guide to Satanic History, Culture & Wisdom is a 2022 nonfiction book by author La Carmina about Satanism’s historical evolution and religious practices. The book includes a foreword by Lucien Greaves, the spokesperson and co-founder of The Satanic Temple.[2][3]

Contents

The book explores the history of Satanism and Satan-like figures[4] of Babylonian and Canaanite myths, Zoroastrianism, and the Bible,[5] including Satanic organizations pre-dating Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan (and how the Church of Satan differs ideologically from The Satanic Temple).[6] Myths and media-propagated misconceptions are addressed and debunked.[7][8][9][10]

It discusses topics of persecution, such as the Salem witch trials[11] and the Satanic Panic,[12][13][14] as well as QAnon and Pizzagate.[6]

It also covers community activism within Satanic communities, such as LGBTQ and reproductive activism from The Satanic Temple.[15]
