Title: Bland and emotionless attempts at Satanic Rituals
Review: Yet again Mr LaVey presents his own little concoction of pseudo-Satanic concepts. While reasonably well researched, Le Messe Noir (The Black Mass) is let down by the fact that it is partly in Latin and partly in English, whereas other authentic texts of this most infamous "satanic" ritual are generally entirely in Latin, and if lucky accompanied by an English translation. This for a start ruins what little the book has going for it.As for the rest of the book, the rituals are mere ceremonies, devoid of any genuine emotion, joyless, unnatural little games that even make "white lighter" rituals of the wiccans look impressive.Anyone looking for genuine satanic rituals however would already realise they aren't likely to find them in a mass produced little book
