Can someone give me some links or some tip about books (worth reading) on gnostic satanism?

I don't see how the Temple of Set is gnostic.

The Order of Khnum (sp?) is sort of gnostic in that they worship the Demi-Urge.
The methods though in which they(many branches within the temple of set) attain Xeper are various though. Also to keep in mind the concept that many do not see the concept of ''remanifestation'' to be very gnostic or the concept of becoming a God. In Gnosticism it is highly against matter and all about letting one's spirit be absorbed again into the pleroma. In gnostic satanism, Satan is viewed as the one to whom would cause liberation of our souls and destroy this creation... in order to return it to the original purity of Chaos. Look at The Temple of The Black Sun.

Another SORT OF gnostic group is the Order of Phosphorus. Luciferianism tends to be very focused on the self and godhood. Except it focuses more on breaking away completely from universal consciousness and continuing the fall of mankind. Thus creating complete self individuation.

I guess... in matters such as these... I don't understand why a person with limited understanding would want to learn and then because the material is complicated, they'd go away from it. They should research and build the necessary understanding.

I'm not trying to be offensive when I said that though.

Yeah. The Temple of The Black Light is the only true gnostic satanic group that (I know) exists. I don't know of any others... the misanthropic luciferian order was absorbed into the T.O.T.B.L. .... the Order of Khnum in The Temple of Set is sort of similar but I only know the basic principles of their teachings. I know they aren't focused on the destruction of All... because they are very ''in the now'' kind of people. They aren't focused on the Otherworld as T.O.T.B.L.
