The Satanic Witch 2nd Ed.

In the 1970's Anton Szandor LaVey completed an Infernal Trilogy of books (begun with "The Satanic Bible" and "The Satanic Rituals") with something called "The Compleat Witch" - later re-issued and re-titled "The Satanic Witch". This third volume by LaVey departs from the previous two in just about every way: for this is a guide for women everywhere to empower themselves economically, socially and sexually to the utmost degree and get what they want out of life. This by utilizing everything feminine, seductive, attractive - as well as utilizing psychological stratagems to manipulate men to do their bidding. The formula rested on LaVey's assertion that women were really the dominant gender, and that simply by being female they were already possessed of a veritable arsenal of natural weaponry with which to attract, seduce and (therefore) control. As the weaker sex, men were gullible, stupid and were perpetually easy to manipulate because of their slavish devotion/obsession with carnal, sexual matters. Militant feminists (amongst others) at the time of the book's appearance missed the point completely, accusing LaVey of advising women to act like tarts, strumpets, gold-diggers and whores. In LaVey's analysis, the traditional association of Witchcraft & Sorcery as being singularly connected with women had its origins in the time-honoured, undeniable power of females to attract, seduce, fascinate and manipulate men: a power that the ancient religious, puritan, Christian, misogynistic mindset regarded as a truly Evil, Diabolical and Satanic force. After all, every religious, theological woman-hater knew that the "evidence" for the thoroughly evil, corrupting nature of females was already written in the Book of Genesis. The Christian Empire's mass-extermination of women throughout Europe during the Middle Ages was a direct result of this consensual conviction. For some so called "men", women still pose a dangerous, intimidating threat to their masculine authority and supremacy. When "The Satanic Witch" was first published, many men discarded it after perusing only a few pages, deciding that LaVey had penned a kind of "Women Only" tome, whose guidelines, tips, subtleties and stratagems were completely useless to them. This large-scale, analysis-free, knee-jerk reaction did nothing whatsoever to rubbish one of the book's primary assertions: that the male of the species were the less intelligent of the genders.

I was sceptical at first as I envisioned the work to be aimed at women, and whilst some of that is true, I must recommend this book to any Satanist or simply those interested in the writings of Doktor LaVey. The book contains all of his wit, humour and macabre views of the world that we Satanists seem to share. As with the rest of the COS canon, it isn't for everybody. But those who agree with viewpoints shared in The Satanic Bible and Devils Notebook will find much to love here. The Satanic Witch is another mandatory addition to ones library.

very interesting. hooked me up with magic for life ;]

Satanic? Not really. It is however an excellent discourse on the means to manipulate people towards your goals through an application of lesser-black magic techniques.

i learnt so much from this book

This book is building about a thousand new neurons in my brain every hour, Lavey truly is a genius at times and this book proves it.

Very interesting book!

There are some nice ideas in this book and no doubt some useful methods the power hungry female can employ to attain her ends. It's true, men are very stimulated by women and we are sexual creatures, to be honest though the book is kind of depressing. It's depressing because it suggests that the woman must exchange her entire being for an ego role which is probably not going to be in touch with how she might feel inside, (unless how you feel inside is power hungry). For me i agree that one can employ effective means by which to move up in the world (common sense really) but i would say this book is only going to be good when used in degrees because if your entire life is about manipulating others and modifying yourself to gain sexual gratification or a pay rise over finding activities and practices which bring you genuine joy and contentment then your life is prity shallow LaVey for some reason claims to be an expert on human character types and psychology though- i don't know why because several times throughout this book he babbles on about nonsense only relevant to the time it was written and he generalizes upon things which can't be generalized upon, but i guess that's inevitable to some degree Having said this i did find it relatively enjoyable though no doubt a female may find more use for it than a straight man such as myself. But seriously don't expect to find anything more than a means by which to modify yourself to entice men and spend your nights and days playing a role that could very well divorce you from a more authentic version of yourself- not very inspiring in that sense

a must have book for all women!!! Definitely ageless and give great tricks. I have other books from him but I found this one can be read by almost any woment whio would like to gets tips on how to charm and what most mens are attracted to.
