The book "Devil-Worship in France or The Question of Lucifer" was written by British occultist Arthur Edward Waite. The book explores the phenomenon of purported devil worship and demonic rituals in late 19th-century France through historical and investigative lenses. Waite investigates several incidents and hearsay concerning the presence of occult rituals and secret groups, especially those connected to Lucifer worship. Along with examining the social and political ramifications of such ideas, the book also examines the historical and cultural background of the period. He examines the data and offers a critical evaluation of the assertions regarding the prevalence of devil worship made by certain modern authors and religious leaders. Waite adopts a cynical attitude throughout the book, casting doubt on the reliability of the sources and drawing attention to the hype that frequently surrounds these stories. To offer a more logical explanation for the purported devil-worship phenomena, he makes an effort to distinguish reality from fantasy. The significance of "Devil-Worship in France" lies not just in its examination of occultism but also in its portrayal of the religious tensions and cultural fears that characterized late 19th-century Europe.
