Occult Feminism: the Secret History of Women's Liberation dives deep into the occult roots of feminism, detailing the lives of some of its most prominent figures and the esoteric, Luciferian, and ancient mystery religions that inspired and motivated them. Since the 1970s, everything we learn about the history of the women's movement has been subject to gatekeeping by radical feminists who run women's studies departments in universities.

Addressed to men, Fidelity hits hard, using clear language and focusing on specific sins with specific solutions: adultery, divorce, polygamy, celibacy, pornography, and more. But in the end, the antidote to all sexual temptation is simple -- the godly honoring of the marriage bed: "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" (Heb. 13:4).
