_Paradise Lost_ by John Milton.

Paradisio) covering the author's pilgrimage through them.

Press, 1988.

Frederick Neitzsche, various works
Neitzschean philosophies form the core of Satanism. Much of the _Satanic
Bible_ owes its philosophical and literary roots to works such as
_Thus Spoke Zarastrutha_ and _The Anti-Christ_ by Neitzche.
Michel Foucault, works
Though not a direct influence on Satanic thought, Foucault's work
extended and modernized that of Neitzsche, making it more applicable
to the present day. He is also largely responsible for the "post-modern"
philosophical movement.
