A Satanic Grimoire Paperback – November 19, 2011

Satanic Grimoire is an excellent addition to any LHP library, along with his other titles. For the earnest beginner, or a seasoned seeker, this text is an elegant center of gravity, dense in doctrinal darkness, to anchor one's further foray into satanic ritual, doctrine, magic and meditation. Magus Nacht's language is crisp and concise, intelligently intuitive, and presents a distinct position within the spectrum of left-hand path spirituality, that is, theistic Satanism. Unlike the symbolic and philosophical Satanism of The Satanic Bible (by Anton Szandor LaVey), which synthesized various strands of thought, such as Ayn Rand's "Objectivism" and secular humanism, to form the core doctrine of the Church of Satan, Aleister Nacht's "A Satanic Grimoire" is a tract concerning theistic or spiritual Satanism; that is to say, "true" Satanism: a spiritual orientation and religious point of view the central doctrine of which is the recognition of the very deity of Satan (Lucifer, Prince of Darkness and Lord of this World). Here Satan as metaphor has been transcended and in its place a true belief in the existence and person theological and ontological of Satan, and an exploration of the tropes of tradition and lore whereby one may properly invoke Him. This Grimoire introduces a much-needed aid and instrument of investigation of the reverie of a mystical and existential encounter with the spiritual power and reality of Satan Himself, to Whom one might submit themselves for the purposes of enlightenment and self-actualization: communion with Him, the true Agent of man's self-dominion, his exaltation as measure of all things, at long last indulging in his own true nature, a spiritual animal, whose essential relation to the world is epitomized in a reckoning and acknowledgment of his divinity, in all His hellish majesty. Enjoy, brethren. Welcome home. Hail Satan!

I enjoyed this book immensely and do not exaggerate when I write that I had difficulty putting this book down! Aleister Nacht explains early on in the book that he "...often receives questions about demons, demonology, and how to conjure / summon such a being." This book revolves around this central theme. Magus Nacht gives the reader a lot of practical advice, wisdom, and examples of rituals with which he has experienced success. I easily read this book in three days / nights. I believe this book is a veritable treasure and I appreciate Magus Nacht sharing some of his insight and intelligent writing with me / us. I have already used some of the invocations, somewhat adapted for myself personally. Magus Nacht does give instructions, tips, and suggestions for ceremonial rituals performed with a Coven. This book is written from the stance of a Theistic Satanist for which I am greatly appreciative. Magus Nacht is an avowed Satanist and does not try and water down the truth of Satanism with ridiculous notions of atheistic Satanism, which is a contradiction in terms anyway from my viewpoint. This book will have a place of honor in my Occult Library and I have no problem in giving it the highest recommendation to other genuine Satnists!

If you want to get a start in traditional Satanism this is the book to read. Aleister Nacht covers important topics in an expert fashion! Pulls no punches and gets down to the details on what you have to do to be on this path.

Just finished reading this book. It was dark yet very true about the world we live in. I am a satanist. This book opened my eyes just a little bit more. I recommend this book to any satanist or those who are willing to become one. Hail Satan!

THE BOOK HAS RUN ON WORDS. IT'S AS IF SOMEBODY FORGOT TO USE THE SPACE BAR DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THIS BOOK. I SHOULD HAVE READ THE SAMPLE PAGES. A WASTE OF MONEY. I KNOW, WAHH!

Horrible nothing new or different I actually felt dumber after reading only reason I gave it 1 star is because it had a very nice satanic prayer THATS IT
