Sloane’s brief involvement with Satanism and the Church of Satan, and debunks his claims of having a Satanic “coven” pre-dating the Church of Satan.

Satanism supports science and clearly advocates keeping an open mind as we continue to learn more about the Universe. LaVey was always very careful to use terms like “supernormal” or “supranormal” for any atypical experiences which can be documented and examined, as they are part of […]
