In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of Satanism, its history and different manifestations in the contemporary world. From the ancient history of the devil to the modern Satanic temple, the story of satanism is an intriguing one that touches on everything from religion, occultism, socialism and feminism.

Thank you to Dr. Per Faxneld for appearing in the episode. Check out his publications for more occultism and esotericism!
