Fifth Edition, 2002. A documentary history of the 1966-1975 Church of Satan. [Note: This is a very large file: 9.4mb.]
Companion to The Church of Satan, this is more of a personal memoir of the Temple 1975-1996 than a history, as the development of the Temple was far more multifaceted, and multiindividual, than that of the Church. This book is currently in writing, and successive drafts of it will be progressively uploaded here until the entire work is complete. At this time Draft #7 is available.

On this separate page I have decided to post any factual responses that I think necessary to set the record straight.
