The Synagogue of Satan (German: Die Synagoge des Satan) is a book by the Polish author Stanisław Przybyszewski, first published in German in 1897.[1] It is considered one of the foundational works on Satanism, with Przybyszewski being the first author to refer to himself as a "satanist".[2]
Contents
The Synagogue of Satan explores the history of Satanism and its development, delving into the practice of witchcraft, sabbaths, black magic and black masses. The title is an allusion to two passages in the Bible, specifically Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, where the expression appears.
The work is divided into two parts: "The Emergence of the Church of Satan" and "The Worship of the Church of Satan".
