| Summary | "Devil-Worship in France; or, The Question of Lucifer" by Arthur Edward Waite is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the phenomenon of modern Satanism in France, delving into its historical contexts and contemporary practices, particularly in relation to secret societies. Waite seeks to dissect truth from fiction surrounding the cultus diabolicus, investigating various claims about the worship of Lucifer and Black Magic. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the concept of modern Satanism, outlining its emergence and relevance in the 19th century. Waite discusses the public perception of Lucifer and Satan, emphasizing a shift from traditional notions of evil to a more complex understanding of the forces influencing this diabolical worship. He introduces various types of evidence for modern diabolism, including testimonies from initiates of secret societies and a burgeoning interest within mystical circles. The segment establishes the framework for the more detailed explorations in subsequent chapters, presenting the author’s intention to objectively assess the reality of these practices and their implications for both religion and society.
