i wanted to ask whether any of the magic side of satanism had any truth to it, i agree entirely with the Church of Satan's philosophy and ideals but im not so sure about the magical side of things.

Only you can validate and determine if Satanic Magic is what it claims to be.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "any truth to it". You may want to re-read the Book of Belial. Magic is ultimately about seeing desired changes in accordance to your own will. To ask for external validation first is rather missing the point.


"Herein you will find truth -- and fantasy. Each is necessary for the other to exist; but each must be recognized for what it is."
- 'The Satanic Bible', preface

I'de like to point out i havent read any of the satanic bible, im new to this ive only read about your ideals and they interest me, where can i get some good reading material?

At any bookstore or internet store that carries The Satanic Bible.

And all the essays at the Church of Satan website.

What are some of the books written by other members I can or should search for on Amazon.com ? I am new to the ways of the Church and I want to learn more . I am considering membership full membership but there are things i need to understand more . The Church of Satan website was starter for my exploration and is a great site . Thank you ahead of time for any replies o this post .
