Book Description

Publication Date: 30 Nov 1999
For the first time ever, an illustrated popular history of the misrepresented netherworld that is Satanism. Macabre media/rock music expert Baddeley charts humanity's darkest faith, from its early perversion of Christian rituals, through the high society sinners of the naughty nineties, to the 'great beast' Aleister Crowley, and latterly, the Black Metal/Death Metal rock bands who have fuelled modern anxiety about the occult. Using exclusive candid interviews and sumptuous Satanic stills, Lucifer Rising reveals the beliefs, activities and individuals that lie behind the present-day media panic.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and informative read for all Satanists. 18 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This was a superb book. I found it well structured and written. It featured interviews with all kinds of people,i.e. Kenneth Anger, Blanche Barton, Christos Beest, Glenn Danzig, Michael Moynihan, Boyd Rice, Kerry Bolton and many others. It looks at Satanism through the ages and in the 20th century; how it has become immersed into popular culture, via films, music and so forth. Anyone who is interested in Satanism or is curious to know what Satanism is all about, then it is highly recommended that you pick up a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Devilshly Good 21 Feb 2001
By devilrob@eudoramail.com
Format:Paperback
Baddeley has written an excellant, accessible history of Satanism that's refreshingly free of hysterical media stories and 'white lighter' garbage. Incisive, witty and honest it includes interviews with Anton Levay himself and 'modern' Satanists such as Glen Benton. Xtians will hate it's sane appraisal of Satanism, but the more open minded will find it interesting and well written.

Hail Satan!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight into the history of Satanism! 7 Mar 2001
By astolath@satanism-uk.com
Format:Paperback
An amusing and informative trip through the history of Satanism and Satanic culture. From ancient gods to modern heavy metal gods via nazism and the 60s occult explosion, this is a difficult book to put down. Includes interviews with such luminaries as Anton Lavey, Kenneth Anger, Boyd Rice and Glenn Danzig.
