and one of my favorite additions to my bookshelf)
I have this book in both the kindle and paperback formats (my paperback is signed by the author, and one of my favorite additions to my bookshelf). As a lover of philosophy and free thinking, particularly of the Humanist category, this book was an excellent example of old ideas made fresh and new. As a set of values and philosophies, Satanism has been around for a very long time,. Not to be confused with the media driven "Satanic Panic" of the 80's and 90's, which filled the minds of the (largely Christian) public with misconceptions, paranoia and fear, contemporary non-theistic satanism is a religion that centers itself around self empowerment, self expression, and inclusiveness. Lilith's book is a living example of how one woman has successfully applied its ideas in her own life for the definitive better. It dispels the cultural misconceptions about what this religion is because Lilith (I have had the privilege since reading her book to meet and spend time with her in person) is a decidedly strong and optimistic person. What she shares in her writing and her world view is a positive message that can benefit anyone, whether they are living the Left Hand Path or not. She truly is The Happy Satanist. And after reading her book you are likely to realize she is not the only one. This book is a mind opener on what satanism truly is, and who it's adherents truly are.

Made me Happy!
The author really opens up about her life and the problems she had. She displays a lot of courage with telling us. Her tale of how Satanism saved her from addiction is compelling and encouraging. It was a good read and a great introduction to what Satanism can do for you. A must read for those looking for something other than AA for help.

Venturaaaaa....yes Satan : )
A fun and quick read. Good insight into the author's personal feelings about satanism. This dives down a few different subject that The Satanic Bible didn't go into because of it's time, especially in regards to the social networking aspect. It's intelligently written. My only complaints would be the book has a lot of climate change alarmism and an almost bully-like hatred towards Christianity...which just didn't ring "happy" to me. Other than that F yeah, dope book.

NON SERVIUM
A really positive, thoughtful book on the path of modern “LaVeyan” Satanism. Highlights the empowering nature of the Satanic path, draws attention to the good work being done by the Satanic Temple, and showcases the way the tenets of Satanism (both the older Church of Satan style and the more progressive and politically active Satanic Temple’s brand) helped the author through dark times and allowed her to plant her feet solidly beneath her and raise her head high!HAIL SATAN!

This book changed my life!
I am also a recovering addict, just like the author. Being a Satanist, I could never fully grasp the concepts of a recovery program like AA or NA, which was always recommended to me because I do not believe in any deity that will make everything better. Reading this book has shown me that I am not the only one and that there is a way to stay off of drugs and alcohol without the help of a magical god.

thought provoking and heart warming
This book really hit home for me in a deep and meaningful way. I can relate to the author's story because I have lived through similar experiences in my life. Between the author's personal story and her essays I feel like this book is a really good peak at what living as a satanist is like and the core values of Modern Satanism. I highly recommend this book who is interested in the left hand path. Hail Lilith Starr, Hail Satan!

The naked picture of the author soured the read. Some practical use here. The author seems genuine.
An okay book on Satanism but the naked picture of the author soured the read. I appreciated the practical application of ritual and how she accurately describes its use for changing oneself and not the objective universe. Its a thin book with small writing which is so unnecessary for people who need glasses I can hardly imagine why anyone would choose that font size. If you want some practical information on the Left Hand path you might find some useful things in this book you won't get in other books. I do appreciate the authors authenticity. She's no fake and lives what she preaches. But all in all, it doesn't feel like a solid book due to its poor design.

Oben, unten, all the same...
Auf den Spuren von Mary Sheley und Lord Byron, ist diese kleine Einführung,- sich von Hirachie und königlicher (und Göttlicher) unterjochung zu befreien, ein nettes Büchlein. allerdings wiederholt sich das etwas und könnte auch mehr in die Tiefe gehen. Was sich aber da hervortut, ist die wichtiege emanzipation, von dem esoterischen schmafu eines Anton Lavey, der sicher ein paar gute Ansätze zu seinem "Satanismus" geliefert hat, allerdings, davon nicht alles von Ihm selbst gekommen ist. Er es aber so darstellt. Die Autorin stellt sich mt Ihrem Text und Ansichten genau gegenüber dem Laveyschen auf, - (weg vom Sozialdarwinismus) und bringt ganz ohne Verachtung gegenüber Andersdenkenden, ihre Sichtweise dar. Nett und kurz. Vielleicht zu kurz. Darum nur 4 Sterne.

Un beau et profond témoignage
Un beau, sincère et profond témoignage de vie d'une sataniste qui partage ici sans ambages la sagesse de la "Voie Sombre". A lire et à méditer dans un monde où la religion fait encore autant de ravage.

Informative and liberating!
Certainly one of the biggest things about modern-day Satanism is the feeling of self-empowerment. The author tells us her story, and how she pulled herself from rock bottom, and how we too can take charge and empower ourselves. Would definitely recommend to others curious about Satanism.

Brilliant Book!
A must read for Satanists and Non-Satanists. Very personal and eye opening about the misinformation spread about Satanists. Please read. DWB
