This book could get you killed. It tells you what you'll find at a crimes scene. it decribes what thes people buy off the shelves at stores. If you buy this book to "DO what the title says". It's best to "save children from your computer. This book is for a cop going outside of the law! A civilian, would probably end up missing. Best for info only.

Ps. This book informs that Satanic murders are hidden from the public, digging deeper in other books they tell you "the Elite" are doing this. So I've come to the conclusion: your children get kidnapped by the Elite, for ritual, the Police know and are told by their high ups not to tell the public! what a wonderful world!

Really the only person I would think who would be remotely interested in this book is a cop who knows absolutely nothing about ritual crime.

The author claims to be an expert and has dealt with occult crime regularily. But never reveals the details of any of these cases. Is he not allowed to by the police department or is he exaggerating his claims? Who knows, but his personal experiences arent detailed in the book.

There are some correspondences with Scott Sellers who was a satanist and who did kill his parents in the book. However the author wasnt involved in the case and the publisher seems to have crammed the most interesting part of the book in the front to try and sell books because its all downhill from there.

The hysteria of the 1980's come through in this book with an entire section devoted to D&D. I suppose D&D could lead people to the occult in the same way Tolkien could lead people to the occult or in the way a blank sheet of artists paper could be the gateway to drawing occult symbols.

With kids today mindlessly staring at TVs and playing ADD inducing videogames, the idea of children sitting down in an orderly fashion playing a rules based game of the imagination seems not just quaint but would make most parents today ecstatic.

And so it is the religious nuts and the moral police have moved on from attacking D&D to now making video games their pariah.

All in all this book was a big nothing, it hints at a vast satanic conspiracy rampant leaving clues everywhere. But as far as facts all it can produce is a demented teenager who integrated satanism into his revenge fantasies against his parents.

I have no doubt ritual crime exists, but if you're going to claim to be the 'Satan Hunter' you better produce the goods. This book doesnt.

This book provided a decent overview of the various occult groups (Satanist, Wiccan, Santeria and Voodoo) operating in the United States. The author seems to have researched his material pretty well. I took away a few stars for two reasons. One, this book is rather dated having been published in the mid-80s. If you are looking for an up-to-date publication, this probably won't do it for you. Secondly, the chapter on Wicca was pretty bad. It basically allowed two professed witches get on their soapbox and preach away. While this is very informative, some kind of counterpoint would be helpful. Furthermore, the witches in question did NOT (unlike the author) back up their claims with any kind of verifiable evidence. Twice they claimed that Exodus 22:18 was somehow placed in there by a (unnamed) Pope. A beginning seminary student could tell you that there is ample evidence that the text of Exodus pre-dates the papacy by a very long time. All and all this was a decent book with a very readable style.

Wedge's book "The Satan Hunter" is interesting for several reasons, one of which is that it's written by a former policeman who dealt with satanists during his career. Most books on satanism are written by theologians, but it was interesting that he was a policeman. Another benefit of this book is that it educates the reader on various satanic groups, including the Church of Satan, Santeria, and Wicca. This book also contains case studies of some who are involved in these various groups. If you want a good overview of satanism, read this book.

To the individuals who read this book and take it for fact, you are being mislead. First of all and most importantly, Wicca and santeria are NOT satanic practices, in spite of what the repressed and sadly bible blind christian public may like to believe. If you want real information on either of these things, this book and its like are NOT where you get it. The book itself has a few interesting paragraphs. I've read better. If you are interested in true hunters of evil check out anything by Ed and Lorraine Warren. They are intelligent and learned and their view is a lot less biased.

Upon observing the cover, which is black, with the title written large in red, the A's uncrossed & a devil's tail on the S, the most noticable incongruency is the pentagram thereon-----distorted into three pieces. This makes a rather good metaphoric illustration that represents people's misperception about Satanism. Onlt when they approach the subject with a logical attitude, unbiased & open-minded, will the pentagram rectify, so Baphomet may come shining through, & the geometrical masterpiece becomes fully revealed.

You may recognize the corpulent author from rivera's 1988 sensationalistic BS nerve-tapper, axe-job, desecration of "journalism", "exposing Satan's underground", where Tom was wedged into a seat next to sean sellout. Somebody's been over-indulging in the sin of gluttony, I see!

Like many of these kinds of books, this one is also filed mostly with other peoples' research, rehashed & recycled, & put together into a prejudicial manner, with cheapshots inserted here & there. Most of the time, wedgie is a good boy, as The Church of Satan's philosophies are correctly quoted, but then comes the low-blow, lacking maturity in writing. wedgie frequently mixes the truth with ignorance & misconception. Many times, over-emphasizing some facet or object of an investigation, seeking to accredit it with mmore significance than it merits, with the hope of bestowing it with some exciting substance, as if he is keeping himself interested by creating personally projective meanings. One can really tell this book was aritten by a hick who believes all the juvenile fantasies that come his way. After all, "why would children lie?" How convenient & adventageous that Salem has been forgotten! In case it was, Wenatchee WA is a reminder! It figures. Two historical slaps in the face, & still the other cheek is offered, retaining its passive ignorance.

Throughout the book, he states that "the Satanists" prey on the vulnerable & confused, the weak of mind. This is utterly ridiculous. For to do so would go against the very principle of Satanism, which is THE PATH OF THE STRONG, THE WAYS OF THE MIGHTY. If you are not Strong enough to pull yourself up, then you might as well roll over & die, & do yourself a favor. KILL YOURSELF!

The fact is, BLINDLIGHT religions, especially xianity, are guilty of preying on the weak & worthless, recruiting them as eternal slaves to a foolosophy of poverty {so they won't feel bad with the nothing they have}, weakness, stupidity, purposeful ignorance, & justified mediocrity. Their whole business depends upon the broken-willed, the despirately poor, the terminally ill, the mentally sick, the dysfunctional, etc., etc........THEY target such inferiors, WE DO NOT!

Wherever misery festers, is where jesus dwells. Wherever success, indulgence, creativity, fullness of life, & wealth is found, Satan reigns supreme.

Another amusing give-away to wedgie's intellectual callibre, is with his opinion of Aleister Crowley's work. He calls it "intellectual mumbo-jumbo", which leads the adept to draw the OBVIOUS conclusion, that since wedgie cannot comprehend the mystical teachings, he criticizes them. He cannot admit to his inability to ascertain Crowley's theories & practices.

"The Satan Hunter" is a predictable & simplistic mono-tome written by an opportunist, who, instead of presenting a work of factualized research, instead pounds out another cheap version of The Malleus Maleficarum. But the hammer's head has fallen off, & hit wedgie in the face---and it shows.

Satanism has never claimed to be anyone's saviour, anymore than it has claimed to be anyone's destroyer. People do that of their own accord. Instead, Satanism elucidates One's own potential, One's inherant divinity. Then it is up t The Satanist themself to apply the philosophy, which he or she had already been naturally doing anyway. The Satanic Bible asserts direction to those who may otherwise be misled by xian mythologies.

wedgie also does not seem to comprehend that modern-day Satanists are in no part related to the afore-mentioned mythology. He does not seem to understand the semantics of Our Religion. He is shackled to the propaganda & programming of xian stuporstition. Wishful thinking. Satanic Statement #9 says it all.

In defense of Our Black Pope, & a rebuttal against the foolhearty comments of that weakan who stated that the Dr. could "not be trusted", & of He being "two-faced", & so forth, she is definitely not in touch with the pulse of Satanism. Making ignorant statements seems to be all the rage throughout "The Satan Hunter". The truth is, that Dr. LaVey follows His Satanic Philosophy 109%, which is based on naturalism, hedonism, humanism, & psychology, merging with a primal religion that serves every level of existence. LaVey's ideology is on the front lines in the war against hypocrisy, mediocrity, & repression. Certainly, Satanism is more natural than weaka could ever be, & nakedness has nothing to do with it.

These blindlighters have always been hung-up on LaVey, whether they wish to admit it or not. He seems to have always been the focal point of their fears. Their ademant denials, getting their wreaths in a bunch, only proves it further. Such sun-bunny prey fear The Darkside, & any denial or suppression of the recognition of Shadow Forces, only sublimates the demonic deep within themselves even further. Thus stimulating more self-delusion, & frustration of their unbalanced psyches. And prancing about under the neo-pagan moon only makes makes them look silly.

Small minds cannot fully comprehend the genius of Satanism. Satanists are criticized by unlearned generalities, & fear-spawned cowardly minds. Blindlighters think they fight a war, & expend efforts to "battle" that which comes natural to The Children of Darkness. We hardly bat an eye, as we flick the pseudo-Satanic, the smug weakan, & the ignorant xian alike, as the scabs that they are.

For every alleged accusation levelled against Satanism, they inflict ten-times more harm upon humanity. All that needs be done, is to study their bloody histories, & observe how those foolosophies continue to mislead countless mutlitudes into their fanciful worlds of Oz. The environment may change, but their games persist. For in an effort to be "righteous", they have become the most rotten of all animals.

"The Satan Hunter" is yet another assembly-line, so-called "documentary" book, which ultimately, is more of a fiction-novel, a series of folk-tales designed to inspire paranoia, & to feed wedgie's diet. To fatten the gastropod's wallet as much as his gut.

If this book does accomplish anything, it is in exhibiting just how stupid people can be.
