Satanism In History The Renaissance In Germany
In the 16th century there was a major occultist movement in Germany that involved Satanism:
"One of the occultists of this early German period was Dr. Johann Georg Faust, who later became the subject of Johann Wolgang von Goethe's Faust. Faust is believed to have been an itinerant alchemist, astrologer, and magician of the German Renaissance who invoked one of Satan's officer named Mephistopheles in the woods outside of the German city of Wittenberg. Goethe's tale is both literal and symbolic.
One popular grimoire written in Wittenberg at this time instructed the magician to renounce God and "completely swear to Lucifer, ruler of the Dark Abyss."[1]
Satanism was part of the Renaissance, The fact is Wittenberg was chosen for the work of Faust because as the major center of the Renaissance it was a major seat of open Satanism as the books from Wittenberg that have survived show. The images of the Demon sigils also appear in Alchemical images from this time, they are based on transforming the soul into the spiritual light body the state of Lucifer.
