Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Raising the Devil

Satanism, New Religions, and the Media

by Bill Ellis

A folklorist examines the Satanic panic through the lens of legend, ritual and religious belief. Ellis argues that evangelical deliverance ministry, charismatic Christianity and contemporary legends about cults provided the frameworks for ritual abuse claims, and discusses ostension, legend-tripping and teenage occult dabbling. A sophisticated academic study for readers interested in folklore and religious culture.
