Jason King, freethinker that he is (and that all Satanists should be), encourages his reader not to take his writing as gospel, but rather to take away from it what they find to be of value. I found very little that does not resonate with me. Postmodern Satanism shuns definitive statements, yet says a great deal in its mutability.

Postmodern Satanism’s greatest curse is its lack of accessibility. As Zach of the Satanic International Network said, King ought to include a free dictionary with each copy of his book. While this may make it difficult for many readers to understand, what he describes is not easily understood no matter how it is presented. Indeed, all language can do is point... More > vaguely in its general direction; gnosis is something which must be experienced for oneself.

My default impression is scorn; in my experience, most deserve it. “Satanists” are no exception; on the contrary, they are more pretentious than most. I know too well that ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge, and my first impression of King was a suspicious degree of confidence. To earn my respect one must first overcome the hurdle of my contempt, and this is no easy feat. But after having read this I have the utmost respect for Jason King. His ego, while massive, is not inflated; his confidence is well-founded. < Less

"The Satanist, The Next"
This first thing one should know about this particular edition of Postmodern Satanism is that it is void of a table of contents, of chapters, and of page numbers. As odd as this may seem, the book’s non-categorization sets the tone for the material herein: a continual flow of the author’s thoughts on a variety of topics relevant to understanding Postmodern Satanism.

One of Jason King’s greatest achievements in this book (his Magnum Opus) was his ability to use a broad range of topics such as Philosophy, Culture, Mythology, Science, Mathematics, Physics, Metaphysics, and The Occult, as models in order to explain his position, but not to solidify... More > the position itself into a set of rigid dogmatic beliefs. By [not] doing so, King makes clear that Postmodern Satanism is a perspective that is constantly growing and constantly evolving.

If you have ever wondered how Satanism is relevant within the 21st century, then Postmodern Satanism by Jason King is definitely a book for you to own. < Less
