Cultic Studies Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, 1995, page 73
In her chapter on Satanism and Nazism, Blood shows many examples of Across-fertilization
between the two,” with a growing international network of white supremacists, skinheads,
right-wing pagans, and occultists, including the Temple of Set, who admire Nazi ideology --
particularly its claim to transcendence over good and evil and its “dream of attaining the
supreme cosmic power of gods.” She describes links between these groups and the
Holocaust denial movement that seeks “to discredit the genocide of European Jews by the
Nazis,” and appears alarmingly to be gaining credibility with the American public.
There is much, much more in this extraordinary book than any review could hope to
encompass. Linda Blood deserves our gratitude that, having survived a great injury, she has
been willing to face it squarely and try to warn the rest of us not to turn our backs.
