Zbigniew Łagosz: The Myth of Polish Satanism. Czesław Czyński – The Trial That Was Not There

Abstract. – This article is a reconstruction of scandalous events from 1930 identified with “Polish Satanists.” The main suspect of these events was Czesław Czyński, who also used the pseudonym “Punar Bhava.” Czyński was one of the best known and yet the most forgotten Polish esoterists and the leader of the Order of Martinists. Was he really linked to Satanism? What about strange suicides among his students? The article attempts to answer these questions. [Poland, Satanism, Czesław Czyński, process, suicide]
