arevaluable skewed because of his involvement with the Temple of Set and Odinism but I thought he was surpri This was a phenomenal book I have read a few of Flowers Thorsson s other books and while I

attempt to retain what I had read It s great for a general understanding of some ideologies, however it can be difficult to really understand a complex practice when it is broken down into a couple of paragraphs within a wider chapter Overall, this is a great book for a surface comprehension of many left hand practi 3.5 stars This book is densely packed with information, as it covers a broad

that Flowers pretty much wanted to write a book about the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set but needed to pad it a bitto make it worth the cover price The first half covers many different societies, cultures, from various points in history The language and tone used is very academic and professional which is...Not much I can add to what has already been written in the overview and

serves as an adequate introduction for the curious Given only 260 pages to cover the sweep of human history, there are necessarily weaknesses and gaps of missing time, but the book is an excellent jumping off point for the beginning of personal research into the areas mentioned.Stephen Flowers had two agendas in mi Stephen Flowers has attempted to create a history of the Left Hand Path from
