Happy 50th Anniversary, Church of Satan! 50 years ago this evening, Anton Szandor LaVey opened the adamantine gates as he founded the Church of Satan—a social experiment in blasphemy, liberty, and individualism. Once he and his intrepid cohorts stepped within, they found not a sanctuary, nor a fortress, but instead a road, for Satanism is not a place or position where one cowers and stagnates, but is instead the journey each one of us takes over the course of our vital lives. He envisioned a cabal of erudite, civilized ladies and gentlemen who would treat one another with the gentility […]

Happy Birthday Anton Szandor LaVey! On the anniversary of his birth, we celebrate the wisdom and strength of the man who founded the Church of Satan, codifying a rational, atheist philosophy that takes Satan as its inspirational icon. His insights into the human animal lead him to weave together many threads from earlier iconoclasts into that dark tapestry of ideas he called Satanism, launching a movement that continues to thrive. He lived life to the fullest, and provided us with a powerful tool so that we may do the same. As we move from victory to victory, he remains a […]

Reverend Byrd has created a web page documenting his recreation of LaVey’s library through the volumes set forth in this bibliography. There is much to […]
