Recent years have seen a significant shift in the study of new
religious movements. In Satanism studies, interest has moved to
anthropological and historical work on groups and inviduals.
Self-declared Satanism, especially as a religion with cultural
production and consumption, history, and organization, has largely
been neglected by academia. This volume, focused on modern Satanism
as a practiced religion of life-style, attempts to reverse that
trend with 12 cutting-edge essays from the emerging field of
Satanism studies. Topics covered range from early literary
Satanists like Blake and Shelley, to the Californian Church of
Satan of the 1960s, to the radical developments that have taken
place in the Satanic milieu in recent decades. The contributors
analyze such phenomena as conversion to Satanism, connections
between Satanism and political violence, 19th-century decadent
Satanism, transgression, conspiracy theory, and the construction of
Satanic scripture. A wide array of methods are employed to shed
light on the Devil's disciples: statistical surveys,
anthropological field studies, philological examination of The
Satanic Bible, contextual analysis of literary texts, careful
scrutiny of obscure historical records, and close readings of key
Satanic writings. The book will be an invaluable resource for
everyone interested in Satanism as a philosophical or religious
position of alterity rather than as an imagined other.
