Devil-Worship in France (A Timeless Classic): or The Question of Lucifer Paperback – February 9, 2017

For a long time in fact throughout most of the 1800's it can be said that there was no cult that was dedicated to Satan or the Devil. Ask someone about it and the subject is shrugged of as no one of sound mind would speculate worshipping the Devil. No less it must be realized that at the end of the 1800's Satanism was alive and well in France, the most enlightened of all nations at the time. Satanist identify with Satan or any other evil figure from other religions and they support that deities design for evil. They often operate underground an out of view. They engage in many vile acts such as robbery, murder and kidnapping. Their most favored activity is stealing holy items from the Roman Catholic Church and using it in the service of Satan. In that sense they defile it. These thefts had been happening at various different cities in Europe.The late 1800's is also a time of great confusion. The Transcendalist are often accused of practicing Satanic rights. The occultist AE Waite feels need to come to some rapprochement with the Catholic Church.Most people feel that the Masons are the ones who are acting as a front for the Satanist and that most Mason's are dupes while a secret order within the Masons is puling the strings and recruiting members from the great fraternity. The Catholic Church has been the biggest enemy of the Masons. They print out tracts saying that the Mason's promote Atheism, indoctrinate females and are in favor of anarchy. Now there maybe a Luciferian vein running through the Masons. Each lodge is affiliated with a Grandlodge in it's area. Each Grand Lodge is autonomous and act independently of each other.There is separation and difference between the Mason of England and France. The French Mason's have apparently done away with the grand architect concept and are following an Egyptian rite. The Mason of English are following the Scottish Rite. It is the Scottish Rite that is predominant in the US. With in the Scottish Rite there is a sub group called the New Palladians. They are supposedly a recreation of the old "Palladians"The "Palladians were a group of Templar Knights who worshipped Baphomet. Albert Pike who was born in America to humble parents ended up moving to Arkansas. Later he would return to Memphis and open a Scottish Rite Lodge there. He supposedly had the statue of Jaques D Molay and the original statue of Baphomet. He started up the New Palladians. The New Palladians are Luciferian.Lucifereians are not Satanist but they are at odds with the Catholic Church and other monotheistic relgions. They believe that Lucifer is a bringer of Light while Adonai is a dark God who has plunged the world into misery and darkness. Hence in their mind Lucifer works for the good. Satan is a twisting of Lucifer done by the Catholic church.. Here in lies the potential evil. Have the New Palladians turned to Satan worship by accident.Aurthur Edward Waite is the maker of the Ryder Waite Tarot deck and author of numerous books on occult subjects. He has written several books on Ceremonial Magick and the Kabballa. In fact anyone just getting started in magick or the occult is advised to read his works.In this book the author tackle the subject of the resurgence of Satanism in France. Something that was long since thought extinct. THe Catholic Church has supported authors who have spread the rumor that Satanism is being spread by the Mason.In tackling this subject Mr. Waite examines the subject of Luciferianism and Satanism. Two different subjects. He also examines witness records in his quest for the truth. In the end the MAson are a brotherhood that believe in benefitting mankind and are united in the belief that there is a master architect or creator in the universe.In the late 1800's a book< Free Masonry the Synagogue of Satan, was written that was designed to smear the Masons and the Jewish people. We are now already away of the contempt the Catholic Church holds towards the Mason and how they have linked them to Satanic practices. THe book is a total sham. THe author claims to be a witness of Palladianism but what he does is document occult practices of Muritaniaus.The main claim of the book is that Freemasonry is controlled by Jews. The organization is a kabbalsitic Jewish plot the book maintains and that the Jews desire world wide domination. Such rubbish could not be further from the truth. Albert Pike the founder of New Palladianism was not a Jew nor was he a Judaizer.MGR Meurin the author of this fallacious work gathered his information second hand. He himself was not a member. He claimed that he understood the mystery of 33rd degree in Masonry. It corresponds to the 33 Vedic Deities and it borows heavily from the past.The Masons maybe secretive but they are not part of a Jewish plot to take over the world.Prior to 1891 a certain Dr. Battalia was an unknown quantity. He was a spy and a sensationalist. The Palladium itself was largely unknown as well. He claims to have joined the Mason obtained his degrees for certain prices. He made the claim that. HJe penetrated the Palladian i the far east. His first stop was Carbuccia. The ritual was conducted by Mr. Shekelton. In Cingal a woman was burned alive and offerend unto Satan.Fakirs leviated and turned themselves into animals. In Calcutta Fakirs would take certain psotions for long periods of time. There would be ceremonies to summon Beel Zeboub but he never would come.In Dappah there were seven temples. The First temple had cobra rituals. THe second temple perfromed marriages. THe third temple was dedicated to fallen women. THe 4th temple was Rosicrucian and the fakirs would stay in painful postions and be mummified for three years. THe fifth temple was consecrated to a Pelican it was dedicated to Masonic charity. The 6th temple was dedicated to divination. The seventh temple was decated to the dacred of fire of Baal.Singapore according to this author was loaded with English criminals. THe author also believes that Chinese and Jews are going straight to hell.San Ho Hei is Chinese occultism it is a welcome mat for masonry, Palladian style. In the east intitate wouild ingest opium and hope for occultic reunion.

Very interesting book as Lucifer is a topic I very much enjoy. And lets face it the name LUCIFER is beautiful....I think so anyway! People make bad choices and need to stop blaming Lucifer/Satan for their own mistakes.

Well written but a bit out of date by current standards.

great

it gets off track as soon as one starts readinglooses track to early.will not advise others to buy.

This book is better known as 'Devil-worship in France' - a title Waite was not fond of at all, but his publisher knew what sells... my how things change, eh?(sarcasm) This book is an extensive refutation of the 'Leo Taxil hoax' in France, elements of which are still perpetuated by many pseudo-journalists, about those supposed 'evil Freemasons'. In fact, the perpetrator(s) of the hoax admitted it... after being exposed, that is. I am NOT saying there is no cabal of Illuminati secretly pulling the strings behind world events - there IS, it is true. The top two, that are visible in a public way, are the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. That is where people should be looking, NOT at your local Freemasonic lodge.

There is clearly an organized group(s) who are working on the 'other side'. This book exposes all of them. Its frightening and very explicit.If you have an opportunity to read this book, then you will find it amazing. It will show you a place that you have never been before and did not expect there was. The book is VERY easy to follow, and is organized well. I had a hard time putting down it down, as it's really interesting and doesn't let you down. I would definitely recommend this edition.

I try to be open minded, and a skeptic. Sometimes this is not good, because I dismiss real evil. But I do read, and this book opened my eyes to some historical facts of life that I now see, are the cause of so many of the worlds problems. Now I see the motivations behind many of today's headlines.If you want the story behind the story, this will point you to the facts!

I used this as a reference book for an essay and it has a fair amount of information about the origins of Satan as we perceive him today. You'd have to be REALLY interested in the subject to read it straight, but as a reference book, it has a lot to offer on the question of Lucifer.It discusses elements such as the Taxil Hoax and Freemasonry as well as works of people related to these fields.

I can see the merit of this book. I used it for reference material for an essay about the origins of Satan and there is a lot in this book that I could use. It discusses freemasonry and the Taxil Hoax.Of course, you'd need to be REALLY interested in the subject matter to sit down and read it straight, but as an academic source, it has a lot to offer.

Great product

This book was fairly generic in its exposition of Lucifer and devil worship in France. It was still interesting to read but I lost concentration half way through it as it got dull.

I found the book very interesting but I also found it quite difficult to relate to the subject although I wanted to.
