Amazon angst

I really, really, really want to own a copy of The Satanic Witch by Anton LaVey, but I don't trust the internets with my ctredit card number, and my hopes of finding one in meatspace are... dwindling. It's not that I've looked all over and failed: it's that my method of searching is 'search the shelves'. Searching the same shop at a different time yeilds different results when looking for other books, so... My search is more-or-less 'where do I start'.

...Actually... *searches for it on Blackwells website, finds it in the online catalogue* So theoretically I could order it in. Hm...

I've stuck it on my amazon.co.uk wishlist, in any case. ^^;;

From the reviews of it, I remain sceptical about the magical aspect of it. The 'magic of man catching' involves wearing fish net stockings and high heels, and not being ugly.

The wikipedia article gives a run down of the various chapters, and for the more sceptical out there, it appears to just be a run down on how to seduce the kind of men who are interested in naughty witches.

*unimpressed*

http://www.satanic-kindred.org/witch.htm

Has some excerpts. It includes such enlightening topics as 'What a Satanic Witch Should Wear'. Fish nets, high heels, garter belts, red nail varnish/lipstick...

*still unimpressed*

It's supposed to be an example of practical Satanism, rather than just the theory that I've read so far. I'm treating it more as an example of that rather than magic.

Also, you're going to dislike me. Alexandria had the diary, but Adel writes letters. XD
