Satanic Bible
By: Anton LaVey

Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began
the road to High
Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an
organ player in a
carnival:
“On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls
dancing at the carnival, and on
Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐showevangelists at
the other end of the
carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their
wives and children, asking God
to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday
night they’d be back at the
carnival or some other place of indulgence.
“I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and
that man’s carnal nature will
out!”
Fromthat time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last
night of April, 1966–
Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in
witchcraft–LaVey shaved his
head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation
of The Church Of
Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body
and his carnal
desires as objects ofcelebration. “Since worship of fleshly things
produces pleasure,” he said,
“there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. . .”
