Book of Satanic Ritual: Companion to the "Book of Satanic Magic"

"The Book of Satanic Ritual" by Aleister Nacht, theologian and Grand Magus of Magnum Opus, is companion text to "The Book of Satanic Magic." It provides an excellent addition to any LHP library, along with his other titles. For the earnest beginner, or a seasoned seeker, this liturgical 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 "Book of Satanic Ritual" is a tract concerning theistic or spiritual Satanism and its Rites, herein described for their effective administration and symbolic significance. This is "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 prepare a ritual format for individual or group use for His proper invocation, as well as a demonology of His attendant Hosts. This "manual" introduces a much-needed practical aid and instrument of symbolic and ritual investigation of the reveries 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. Included is a registry of necessary accoutrement for the proper ritual service, as well as a calendar of the Satanic feast days and holidays upon which rituals held yield the most spiritual power.

A companion to the book of Satanic Magic, by the same author, a must have for those following the left hand path, full of informative Satanic ritual workings, details of invocations to Satan, a modern updating of Satanism & true inspiration to all , add this to your collection, & use it for your workings, the author is approachable, & he inspired myself to get the book of Satanic Magic and this title the book of Satanic Ritual, very well written, thank you

GREAT BOOK!!! Fantastic merchant! Great merchandise! I would recommend them to anyone!

Well written and very informative of how to go about practicing your own ritual. I wouldn't recommend it to the beginner. This was the first book that I read by aleister nacht and I did not know enough about satanism to really get started on my own work. I would suggest you read sanctum of shadows first to really get a feel for satanic magic if you are bran new to the dark arts.

I only recommend this book to those who are truly certain on the choice of the curse on the dark side but I highly recommend if you choose to live on the other side of god

Very informative and well written a must have book for any true traditional satanist

Please don't waste your money or time trying to seek guidance or Knowledge from this book. It is about as deep as strolling through Hot Topic. I would liken this book to somebody handing you an out-of-order Greek alphabet and claiming that they taught you how to speak Greek. Even aside from the lack of depth and knowledge in this book, it is very poorly written. I wish that I had better suggestions at this point, but the only book that I have read that has been truly worthwhile is Lords of the Left Hand Path.

Awesome book! We'll written, practical, easy to read! I highly recommend to anybody researching or following the left hand path!

I was excited to get this and wanted it to be a good read. It was hard to read the kindle version (can’t comment on the paperback version) as no spaces between words for the rituals. The rituals weren’t always complete and he’d go on from talking about one thing, on to the next back on to the other. He mainly spoke of sex and orgies. I did like some uplifting things he said about women so that’s why I have given it a 3 star otherwise it would of been a 1.

This book is very nice for persons who are interested for satanism.

Résumé vraiment biens la magie en générale et la fourberie que l'on nous oppose depuis notre naissance... J'aime votre vision de la femme et de ça réel place... Je me retrouve dans votre personnage... Et vos incantations sont puissante... Merci AN pour cette ouvrage...

interesting read but in print the spelling is very bad and makes reading frustrating. despite this it is similar in content to other books by author
