When you separate the religious dogma from the symbolic nature of Christianity's ultimate rebel, who really is the Devil? Kate Freuler presents this infamous figure as a symbol, not a deity, and reveals how you can use this radical philosophy to strength yourself and your witchcraft. The Devil represents rebelling against all-powerful, oppressive systems of any kind. Through historical references, religious writings, and even pop culture, this book explores the intersection between witchcraft and the rebel archetype. Kate dispels common myths, providing examples from a variety of texts and personal stories about her own connection to this misunderstood symbol. She also shares rituals you can use for self-empowerment. From the Devil's relationship with the old gods to the foods associated with him, this book invites you to see this controversial symbol with new eyes.
