Prayer and Practice

Hidden: Living with the Uninitiated
by S. Connolly
- It’s the sad truth that many Satanists must practice in secret, especially when young or dependent on family. This short book gives ideas and support to those who cannot display their faith loudly and proudly. While the author is a demonolator and thus speaks of demonolatry rather than Satanism, the lessons are still fully applicable to both faiths.

The Little Book of Satanic Healing
by Anonymous
- The question "how much good magick can do in the realm of healing" is always a hot one. Here at the Circle of the Fallen, we absolutely do not endorse using magick as a replacement for science-based medical intervention. However, if you’re still keen on knowing how healing and the Satanic faith can relate to one another, this book is a good place to start.
