Called by many of his followers the 'Black Pope', Anton Szandor LaVey began the road to the high priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was just 16 years and played the organ at a fair: "On Saturday night, I saw men looking lustfully at the girls dancing half nude in the carnival and on Sunday morning, when he played the organ in the tent of the evangelists at the other end of the fairground, he saw these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children asking God to forgive and free them of carnal desires. However, following Saturday night, returning to the show or some other place of convenience. I knew then that the Christian Church was founded in hypocrisy and that the carnal nature of man is inevitable! "
From that early experience in his life, the road was to follow was clear. Finally, the last night of April 1966, the night of Walpurgis the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft, LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the founding of the Church of Satan. He understood that there was a need for a church to recover the body of the man and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. "Because the carnal worship produces pleasure," he said, "there should be a temple of glorious indulgence ..."
The Satanic Bible contains all the teachings of La Vey. Far from the traditional image offered by the Christian Church Prince of Darkness as a bearer of evil, misery and vice, LaVey claimed figure Satan as a true symbol of freedom, wisdom and kindness. For the author, Satan was the purest embodiment of enlightenment and knowledge, and it shows in this iconic work.
The Church of Satan is recognized as a legitimate religion in America.
