On this 59th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan, we, who are inspired by the pioneering efforts of Anton Szandor LaVey, take this night to celebrate his insights into the beast called Man. While about us is chaos, we stay focused on our goals—becoming the best versions of ourselves we can attain.

As a refresher for some, please reread my biographical essay on the extraordinary man who inspired me, and who was both a friend, and, in his own words, a colleague. Hail Anton Szandor LaVey—one helluva guy! Shemhamforash! Hail Satan! —Magus Peter H. Gilmore
