Raising Hell - A to Z of the Occult Satanic Underworld, by Michael Newton

Raising Hell - A to Z of the Occult Satanic Underworld, by Michael Newton

Basically the books is a real A to Z description of all things Satanic, Occultic and similar. In my peronal view, the man is a Christian, but has managed to show good subjectivity and has dealt fairly with the pieces he has studied and written on.

He makes the point that some things that are claimed to be satanic are simply not, are either misinterpreted (through ignorance or malice) by the ignorant or "satanism" is used as a cover by bad people who want to do bad things.

If you are looking for a good introduction to the world of the Occult and Satanism then you could do far worse than to buy this informative little papaerback.

He carries interesting subjects such as :

Aryan Brotherhood
Baphomet
Son of Sam
Black Mass
Church of Satan
Alister Crowley
Anton Lavey
Gerald Gardiner
Feast of the Beast
4 P Movement
Brotherhood of Ram
Hand of Death
Charlie Manson
The Family

Human Sacrifice
Illuminati
Klu Klux Klan
Multiple Personality Disorder
Order of the Golden Dawn
Process Church of the Final Judgement
Satanism
Scientolgy and L. Ron Hubbard
Snuff Films
Temple of Set
Thee Orthodox Satanic Church of Nethlrum Rite
Voodoo

This is only a skim of the depth of the book: this is a brilliant book which I would highly recommend.
