Luciferian and Satanic Resources

What are the best resources and books regarding the history and modern practices of Luciferianism and Satanism?

I am mainly looking at it from a theistic standpoint, but don't mind other opinions.

I've read quite a few things by A. LaVey, the SB, Satan Speaks, and Devil's Notebook for instance. As well as the Satanic Scriptures by P. Gilmore.

If you are looking for theistic (flavored) stuff, I would recommend Temple of Set--Michael A Aquino & Don Webb.

Thank you. I'll take a look. Do any of those guys also happen to touch on Magick? LaVey had some weird views on it, that I while I get, seem counterintuitive.

Even Michael W Ford has a strong theistic flavor.

Of course.

Michael W Ford is also very magick-orientated.

I don't know if tarot card reading is considered 'satanic' or part of the magick world, but I'm knee deep in this Alejandro Jodorowsky book, 'the way of the tarot.' He rebuilt the oldest known deck, after coincidentally meeting the printer's last ancestor.. I'm pretty convinced there's something to it, but I don't know what though

I'll be brushing up on tarot, but I've got other stuff on my plate. I've been more partial to Elder Futhark Rune divination as of late. (Obvs not LHP centered, but it's effective).

The Complete Book of Demonolatry by S. Connolly goes into quite a bit of detail on a polytheistic system of Satanism. She has several other supplement books for it too.

The Dictionary of Demons by Michelle Belanger is exactly what it says on the tin. You get an alphabetical list of demon names along with brief descriptions of each one. Some versions also have intermittent chapters on the folklore and historical beliefs about demons.


If you're interested in some of the historical precursors to modern Satanism, perhaps look into some of the old grimoires. The Lesser Key of Solomon and Grimorium Verum are good starting points. The Youtube channel, Esoterica is also good. It's worth noting that spells and rituals invoking demons typically involved calling on the power of God or Christ to do it. A hefty chunk of modern occult practices, Satanism included, draw inspiration from the practices of Christian clergy. Just a fun bit of trivia.

Woah a new rune find, from like the 400's. I guess he said the full display won't happen till next year or something. Amulets and stuff.. I don't want to follow his links though, because I don't know what it's asking me to accept in that language, or if it's a paywall or something
