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. _The Occult_ by Colin Wilson An excellent objective introduction to the subject. _Cosmic Trigger_ by Robert A.
