by Jess Pedigo (Author)

Satanism-Diabolical Religion of Darkness by Jess Pedigo is a Christian examination of Satanism, witchcraft, occult practices, and what the author presents as their growing influence in contemporary American society. The book begins by examining the popularity of astrology, fortune-telling, Ouija boards, witchcraft, spiritualism, and other occult practices, before tracing what Pedigo describes as the historical rebellion against God from ancient Babylon through later occult traditions. It then turns to the alleged arrival and development of Satanism in America, discussing Theosophy, occult organizations, witchcraft, Black Masses, Satanic rituals, and the influence of Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. Later chapters focus on reported Satanic crimes and ritual activity in the United States, the dangers of experimenting with occult practices, hypnosis, ESP, divination, and other forms of occult experimentation, which the author argues can lead to spiritual and psychological harm. The concluding chapter presents a biblical warning against occultism and urges Christians to resist what Pedigo regards as demonic influence through faith in Jesus Christ.
