The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey, Father of Modern Satanism

 Anton Szandor LaVey, a showman, provocateur, and the father of modern Satanism, redefined religious thought with the publication of The Satanic Bible in 1969. This controversial and influential work not only served as the foundation for the Church of Satan but also articulated a philosophy that blended self-deification, atheism, and ritualistic pageantry. 

 Written during the countercultural revolution of the 1960s, The Satanic Bible shocked the world and sparked a movement that continues to resonate today. This video explores the context in which LaVey developed the book, the intellectual and cultural influences that shaped his ideas, the process by which he wrote the text, and the reasons for its enduring relevance in modern times.
