Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Lucifer Ascending

The Occult in Folklore and Popular Culture

by Bill Ellis

Bill Ellis explores how occult practices and beliefs circulate in vernacular culture, including Ouija boards, grimoires, cunning-folk, teenage experimentation with magic and the influence of horror fiction and role-playing games. He treats popular occultism as a form of folk religion rather than a threat. Valuable for readers of folklore, religious studies and the cultural background to the Satanic panic.
