Devil Worship In France

Waites' well known work "Devil Worship in France" is primarily a refutation of conspiracy theories aimed at the Freemasons. In this discourse, however, it touches on alchemy, demonology, and a topical overview of multiple important occult figures. AE Waite was one of the first and foremost figures of his era in literature involving the occult. It should be noted that not long after this work was produced, Leo Taxil, one of the main subjects, did indeed not only recant his anti-masonic diatribes (debated here by Waite) but admitted that his entire conversion had been an attempt to shame the Catholic Church.
