Compassionate Satanism: An Introduction to Modern Satanic Practice

As a Minister in The Satanic Temple I am reading this book thinking: this is everything people need to know about our religion. Lilith spells everything out in a clear and concise way that is accessible and engaging. While there have been other books and a documentary about The Satanic Temple; this book really gets to the core of what we are really about. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in, or currently a member of, The Satanic Temple. I'm not at all surprised that this book is now a part of our cannon. Hail Lilith and Hail Satan!

Lilith Starr's first book, The Happy Satanist, is what drew me to modern Satanism. It was a guide to her journey that invited me to relate to another woman on familiar personal and societal challenges.While The Happy Satanist was a work about her journey, Compassionate Satanism is a work about *our* journey.It's an informative and thorough examination of the tenets of The Satanic Temple with real world applications and endearing commentary. Beginners and seasoned Satanists alike will engage with and enjoy the easy-to-follow discourse that Mz Lilith creates.Highly recommended (both texts!) to anyone interested in the transformative relationships between religion, purpose, and humanity.

I have felt that The Satanic Temple lacked a user friendly book that made a case for themselves . Yes they do have a book detailing it's history also a documentary that does the same but until now there was very little in the way that brought you to the heart of the group. That has changed with this book. Lilith Starr has unique style that makes you comfortable as she unfolds her journey and the teachings of The Satanic Temple and their ongoing struggles against would be tyrannical theocratic agenda. She has also allows for others to tell their stories in relation to this new and bold take on the world's most misunderstood religion. This is one of those books that adherents will go back to again and again. This is also the book to put in the hands of parents, family or friends who are willing to try and understand what The Satanic Temple is about. A win win. If you've stayed with this review so far I would also recommend the author's earlier title "The Happy Satanist".

Such a well written exploration of modern non-theistic Satanism covering not only the history of the movement, but personal experiences of the Author and interview subjects.

I love this book! It’s a really good book especially for newer satanists, it covers all the bases. Rituals, connecting with other satanists, history, values, perspectives, literature, etc. Even as a more experienced satanist I learned quite a bit, I adored the Revolt summary, so much easier to read than France’s original text. The photographs and interviews added so much depth and perspective to the book and I look forward to delving deeper into the example rituals when the time of the year comes around. Lilith is such a lovely writer. This is a comprehensive text that will be loved for years to come.

An excellent book that feeds the mind and heart!

Received on time and excellent condition. Anything you ever wanted to know about The Satanic Temple is in this book. It is by far one of the best written books I've read on this topic. Written in a style so easy to read and very concise to the point. The author leaves no rock unturned. You can not be better prepared for your journey in The Satanic Temple.

While the subject is on TST I feel this book applies to any type of modern Satanism. At first during the introduction I thought it was going to be a rehash of a few books I've read. Once you get into thr book proper when it starts going over the tenets it picks upI feel like Lilith Starr looked in my head and pulled out ideas I couldn't quite express about the tenetsSo I'll give this book 5 baphomets and a hail Satan

This book is an excellent mix of being educational on modern Satanism, and also including personal beliefs. I think it's a must read for anyone new or well versed in Satanism.
