Devil-worship in France

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on 19th century Satanism, Waite investigates the authenticity of evidence surrounding the phenomenon, particularly within the French Masonic context. He aims to distinguish between genuine practices and fabricated narratives, challenging a "conspiracy of falsehood." Inspired by Huysmans' novel Là-Bas, Waite's analysis serves as both a critical examination of Satanism and a potential stepping stone for his Masonic ambitions. The book delves into the complexities of belief and deception in the occult landscape of the time.
