A collection of essays by Arthur Edward Waite on the alleged worship of the devil in France and the question of Lucifer. Waite examines claims about secret societies and the testimony of initiates, along with the historical and occult contexts of these reports. It is worth listening for a nineteenth-century perspective on occultism, Satanism, and French secret societies.
