This is a recommended list of books provided by TST Oregon.  It is a combination of works already found on The Satanic Temple’s official list, plus some of our group favorites and necessities.  As such, some of the books on this list are not endorsed by TST International. We encourage you to compare and contrast lists if this concerns you. TST Oregon has a special love for Tenet 5, so our science and philosophy sections are a little weightier than usual.
