Wolfe* a winter's evening in 1967, I drove crosstown in San Anton Szandor LaVey lecture at an open meeting of the Sexual Freedom League. I was attracted by newspaper articles describing him as "the Black Pope" of a Francisco to hear Satanic church in which baptism, wedding, and funeral cere- monies were dedicated to the Devil. I was a free-lance magazine and I felt there might be a story in LaVey and his con- writer, temporary pagans; for the Devil has always made "good copy," as they say It on the city desk. was not the practice of the black to be the story, because that is arts itself that I considered nothing new in the world. There were Devil-worshiping sects and voodoo cults before mere were Christians. In eighteenth-century England a HellFire Club, with connections to the American colonies through Benjamin Franklin, gained some brief notoriety. During the early part of the twentieth century, the press publicized Aleister Crowley as the "wickedest man in the world" And there were hints in the 1920s and '30s of a "black order" in Germany. To this seemingly old story LaVey and his organization of contemporary Faustians offered two strikingly new chapters. First, they blasphemously represented themselves as a "church," a term previously confined to branches of Christianity, instead of the traditional coven of Satanism and witchcraft lore. Second, they practiced their black magic openly instead of underground. Rather than arrange a preliminary interview with discussion of his heretical innovations, my usual him LaVey first for step in an unidentified member of an audience. He was described in some newspapers as a former circus and carnival lion tamer and trickster now research, I decided to watch and listen to as representing himself as the Devil's representative on earth, and whether he was a true Satanist, a I wanted to determine first prankster, or a quack. I had already met people in the limelight •Author of The Hippies, Hitler and the Nazis, The Devil and Dr. Noxin, Pileup on Death Row, and The Devil's Avenger: a Biography of Anton Szandor LaVey. of the occult business; in fact, Jeane Dixon was and my landlady had a chance to write about her before Ruth Montgomery did. But I considered all the occultists phonies, hypocrites, or quacks, and I would never spend five minutes writing about I their various forms of hocus-pocus. All the occultists I had met or heard of were white-lighters: and witches wrapping their God-based, communication. alleged seers, prophesiers, powers around mystic spiritual supposedly LaVey, seeming to laugh at them if not spit on them in contempt, emerged from between the lines of newspaper stories as a black magician basing his work on the dark side of nature and the carnal side of humanity. There seemed to be nothing spiritual As about his "church." I listened to LaVey talk that first time, I realized at once there was nothing to connect him with the occult business. could not even be described as metaphysical. talk he delivered was pragmatic, rational. It The relativistic, was unorthodox, to be sure: a He brutally frank and above all blast at established phony on dog-eatof sardonic satire on religious worship, repression of humanity's carnal nature, pretense at piety in the course of an existence based dog material pursuits. It was also full But most important of all, the talk was logical. It was not quack magic that LaVey offered his audience. It was common sense philosophy based on the realities of life. After I became convinced of LaVey's sincerity, I had to convince him that I intended to do some serious research instead of adding to the accumulation of hack articles dealing with the Church of Satan as a new type of freak show. I boned up on Satanism, discussed its history and rationale with LaVey, and attended some midnight rituals in the famous Victorian manse once used as Church of Satan headquarters. Out of all that I produced a serious article, only to find that was not what human folly. the publishers of "respectable" magazines wanted. interested only in the freak show kind of They were article. Finally, it was a so-called "girlie" or "man's" magazine, Knight of September 1968, that published the first definitive article on LaVey, the Church of Satan, and LaVey's synthesis of the old Devil legends and black magic lore into the modern philosophy and practice of satanism that all followers and imitators now use as their model, their guide, and even their Bible. My magazine article was the beginning, not the end (as it has been with my other writing subjects), of a long and intimate association. Out of it came my biography of LaVey, The Devil's Avenger, published by Pyramid in 1974. After the book was published, I became a card-carrying member and, subsequently, a priest in the share with many Church of Satan, a title I now proudly The postmidnight philoLaVey in 1967 continue today, celebrated persons. sophical discussions I began with a decade later, supplemented sometimes these days by a nifty own music, him on organ and me on drums, in a bizarre cabaret populated by superrealistic humanoids of LaVey's creation. witch or some of our All of LaVey's background seemed to prepare him for his role.

He with toy delved into manuals and discovered that arsenals for the equip- ment of armies and navies could be bought like groceries in a supermarket and used to conquer nations. The idea took shape head that contrary to what the Christian Bible said, the would not be inherited by the meek, but by the mighty. In high school LaVey became something of an offbeat child prodigy. Reserving his most serious studies for outside the school, he delved into music, metaphysics, and secrets of the occult. At fifteen, he became second oboist in the San Francisco Ballet Symphony Orchestra. Bored with high school classes, LaVey dropped out in his junior year, left home, and joined the Clyde 'Beatty Circus as a cage boy, watering and feeding the lions and tigers. Animal trainer Beatty noticed that LaVey was comfortable working with the big cats and made him an asin his earth sistant trainer. Possessed since childhood by a passion for the ture, LaVey was not arts, for cul- content merely with the excitement of and working them in the ring as a fill-in for Beatty. By age ten he had taught himself to play the piano training jungle beasts by ear. This came in handy when the circus calliope player became drunk before a performance and was unable to go on; LaVey volunteered to replace him, confident he could handle the unfamiliar organ keyboard well enough to provide the necessary background music. It turned out he played better than the regular drunk and the installed "Human LaVey Cannonball," high-wire acts, among When LaVey knew more music and calliopist, so Beatty cashiered the He at the instrument.

"On talks, Saturday night," "I would see men one of our long lusting after half-naked girls dancing and on Sunday morning when I was playing organ for tent-show evangelists 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 at the carnival, of carnal desires. And at the carnival or some other the next Saturday night they'd be back place of indulgence. I knew then on hypocrisy, and that man's no matter how much it is purged or that the Christian church thrives carnal nature will out scourged by any white-light religion." Though LaVey did not realize it then, he was on his way toward formulating a religion that would serve as the antithesis of Christianity and its Judaic heritage. It was an old religion, older than Christianity or Judaism. formalized, arranged into a But it had never been body of thought and ritual. That was to become LaVey's role in twentieth-century civilization. After LaVey became a married man himself in 1951, at age twenty-one, he abandoned the wondrous world of the carnival — to settle into a career better suited for homemaking. been enrolled as a criminology major at the Gty He had College of That led to his first conformist job, photographer for the San Francisco Police Department.

"I saw the bloodiest, grimiest side of human recounted in a session dealing with his past nuts, knifed by life. nature," LaVey "People shot by their friends; little kids splattered in the gutter was disgusting and depressing.

Eventually a "Magic Circle" evolved from this group. The major purpose of the Circle was to meet for the performance of magical rituals LaVey had discovered or devised. He had accumulated a library of works that described the Black Mass and other infamous ceremonies conducted by groups such Templar in fourteenth-century France, the HellFire Club and the Golden Dawn in eighteenth- and nineteenthcentury England. The intent of some of these secret orders was to blaspheme, lampoon the Christian church, and address themselves to the Devil as an anthropomorphic deity that represented the reverse of God. In LaVey's view, the Devil was not as the Knights that, but rather a dark, hidden force in nature responsible for the workings of earthly affairs, a force for which neither science nor religion had any explanation. LaVey's Satan of progress, the inspirer of all great to the development of civilization mankind. He is embodiment of On is "the spirit movements that contribute and the advancement of the spirit of revolt that leads to freedom, the all heresies that liberate." Wdpurgisnacht, the most in the lore of magic and witchcraft LaVey the last night of April 1966 important festival — shaved his head in accordance with magical tradithe formation of the Church of Satan. For announced tion and proper identification as its minister, he put on the clerical collar. Up to that collar he looked almost holy. But his Genghis Khanlike shaven head, his Mephistophelian beard, and his narrow eyes gave him the necessary demonic look for his priesthood ritualistically of the Devil's church on earth. "For one thing," LaVey explained himself, "calling it a church enabled me to follow the magic formula of one part outrage to nine parts social respectability that is needed for success. But the main purpose was to gather a group of likeminded individuals together for the use of their combined energies in calling up the dark force in nature that is called Satan." As LaVey all other churches are based on worand denial of the flesh and the intellect. He a church that would recapture man's mind and pointed out, ship of the spirit saw the need for carnal desires as objects of celebration. Rational self-interest would be encouraged and a healthy ego championed. He began to realize that the old concept of a Black Mass to satirize Christian services was outmoded or, as he put it, "beating a dead horse." In the Church of Satan, LaVey initiated some exhilarating psychodramas, in lieu of Christianity's selfdebasing services, thereby exorcising repressions and inhibitions fostered by white-light religions. There was a revolution in the Christian church itself against orthodox rites and traditions. It had become popular to declare that worked "God is out, while dead." So, the alternative still rites that LaVey maintaining some of the trappings of from a negative mockery to forms of celebrations and purges: Satanic weddings ancient ceremonies, were changed positive consecrating the joys of the flesh, funerals devoid of sancti- monious platitudes, lust rituals to help individuals attain their sex desires, destruction rituals to enable members of the Satanic church to triumph over enemies.

Nevertheless, LaVey himself soon you replied: "People find in baseball tired of the games. There were setbacks. First, some of LaVe/s neighbors began complaining about the full-grown lion he was keeping as a house pet, and eventually the big cat was donated to the local zoo. Next, one of LaVe/s most devoted witches, Jayne Mansfield, died under a curse he had placed on the head of her suitor, lawyer explained in The Sam Brody, for a variety of reasons I have Devil's Avenger; LaVey had persistently warned her away from Brody and felt depressed over her death. It was the second tragic death in the sixties of a Hollywood sex symbol with whom he had been intimately involved; the other was Marilyn Monroe, LaVey's paramour for a brief but crucial period in 1948 when he had quit the carnival and was playing organ for strippers around the Los Angeles area. On top of all that, LaVey was tired of organizing entertainments and purges for his church members. He had gotten in touch with the last living remnants of the prewar occult fraternities and of Europe, was busily acquiring their philosophies secret rituals left over from the pre-Hitler and needed He had long era, time to study, write and work out new principles. been experimenting with and applying the principles of geometric spacial concepts in what he terms "The Law of the Trapezoid." (He scoffs at current faddists who are Marking up the wrong pyramids.") He was also becoming widely sought as speaker, guest on radio and television programs, and production and/or technical adviser to scores of television producers and moviemakers turning out satanic chillers. Sometimes he was also an actor. As sociologist Ginton R. Sanders points out: ". . no . occultist has had as direct an impact upon formulaic cinematic presentations of satanism as has Anton Szandor LaVey. Ritual and esoteric symbolism are central elements in LaVey's church and the films in which he has had a hand contain detailed portrayals of satanic rites and are filled emphasis upon ritual in 'intended to focus the emotional pow- with traditional occult symbols. the Church of Satan is The that ers within each individual.* Similarly, the ornate ritualism mechas a is central to LaVey's films may reasonably be seen anism to involve and focus the emotional experience of the cinema audience." At last LaVey decided to transfer rituals and other organized activities to Church of Satan grottos around the world, and devote himself to writing, lecturing, teaching—and to his family: wife Diane, the blonde beauty who serves as High Priestess of the Church; raven-haired daughter Karla, now in her early twenties, a criminology much major of her time lecturing like her father before, on satanism spending at universities in many and finally, Zeena, remembered by people who saw the famous photo of the Satanic Church baptism parts of the country; as a tiny tot, but now a gorgeously developed teenager attract- ing a growing pack of wolves, human male variety. Out of LaVey's relatively quiescent period came his widely read,, pioneering writing is in its boob: First, The Satanic Bible, which at this twelfth edition (and this is my second, revised introduction, after having written the original introduction to the first edition).

Satanism's growing popularity has naturally been accompanied by scare stories from — religious The groups complaining that Satanic Bible now out- sells the Christian Bible on college campuses and is a leading causative factor in youngsters' turning away from God.

It has been clear from the first people want to read this book to learn many edition that how to start and ritualize black magic. The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals are the only books that have demonstrated, in a way that is authentic and true to relevant traditions, how all of that can be done.

With all of the contradictions in the Christian scriptures, many people currently cannot rationally accept Christianity the way it has been practiced in the past. Great numbers of people are beginning to doubt the existence of God, in the established Christian sense of the word. So, they have taken to calling themselves "Christian Atheists." True, the Christian Bible of contradictions; is a mass but what could be more contradictory than the term "Christian Atheist"? If prominent leaders of the Christian faith are rejecting the past interpretation of God, how then can their followers be expected to adhere to previous religious tradition?

The Satanist realizes that only by putting himself he fully and unhypocritically in league with these forces can utilize the Powers of Darkness to his best advantage.

It it was to report human delinquencies to was not until the Fourteenth Century that he began to be depicted as an evil deity who was part man and part animal, with goat-like horns and hooves. Before Christianity 55 gave him the names of Satan, Lucifer, etc., the carnal side of man's nature was governed by the god which was then called Dionysus, or Pan, depicted as a satyr or faun, by the Greeks, Pan was originally the "good guy," and symbolized fertility and fecundity.

Many pleasures revered before the advent of Christianity were condemned by the new religion. It required little change- over to transform the horns and cloven hooves of most convincing devil! Pan into a Pan's attributes could be neatly changed into charged-with-punishment sins, and so the metamorphosis was complete. The association of the goat with the Devil is found in the Day Christian Bible, where the holiest day of the year, the Atonement, was celebrated by casting lots for of two goats "with- out blemish," one to be offered to the Lord, and one to Azazel. The goat carrying the sins of the people was driven into the desert and became a "scapegoat." This which is still in Egypt, The diversified. is the origin of the goat used in lodge ceremonies today as where once a year devils of it was mankind are The performance sacrificed to many, and who was also used a God. their origins of Satanic ritual does not embrace the calling forth of demons; this practice those it is followed only by are in fear of the very forces they conjure. Supposedly, demons are malevolent spirits with attributes conducive to the deterioration of the people or events that they touch upon. The Greek word demon meant a guardian spirit or source of inspiration, and to be sure, later theologians invented 56 — —— upon legion legion of harbingers these of inspiration — all wicked.

It activity is the religion, is often assumed that sexual is most important factor of the Satanic and that willingness to participate in sex-orgies a prerequisite for becoming a Satanist. be farther from the truth! In fact, Nothing could opportunists who have no deeper interest in Satanism than merely the sexual aspects are emphatically discouraged. Satanism does advocate sexual freedom, but only in the true means sense of the word. Free love, in the Satanic concept, —freedom to either be faithful to exactly that indulge your sexual desires with as many one person or to others as you feel is necessary to satisfy your particular needs.

Many of those who are constantly preoccupied with 66 dem- onstrating their emancipation from sexual guilt are, in reality, who simply and don't make held in even greater sexual bondage than those accept sexual activity as a natural part of life a big to-do over their sexual freedom. For example, established fact that the and heroine of girl is all an is nymphomaniac (every man's dream lurid novels) not sexually is and roves from man actually frigid it to man free, but because she is too inhibited to ever find complete sexual release. Another misconception in group sexual activity is the idea that ability to engage indicative of sexual freedom.

The Satanist realizes that if he is to be a sexual connois- seur (and truly free from sexual guilt) he cannot be stifled by more than he can by the so-called sexual revolutionists any the prudery of his guilt-ridden society. These free-sex clubs miss the whole point of sexual freedom. Unless sexual activity can be expressed on an individual basis (which includes personal fetishes) , there is absolutely no purpose in belonging to a sexual freedom organization.

A large percentage of people, especially those over forty, cannot emotionally accept the fact that masturbation is natural and and healthy, even if they now accept it intellectually; they, in turn, relate their repugnance, often subconsciously, to their children.

THE HIGHEST PLATEAU OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IS THE AWARENESS OF THE FLESH! ATANISM encourages their natural desires. its Only by followers to indulge in so doing can you be a completely satisfied person with no frustrations which can be harmful to yourself and others around you. Therefore, the most simplified description of the Satanic belief is: INDULGENCE INSTEAD OF ABSTINENCE People often mistake compulsion for indulgence, but there is is a world of difference between the two. A compulsion never created by indulging, but by not being able to indulge. By making something desire. Everyone not "Forbidden to. Webster's thusly: "To taboo, likes to it only serves to intensify the do the things they have been told fruits are sweetest." Encyclopedic give oneself up Dictionary to; defines indulgence not to restrain or oppose; to give free course to; to gratify by compliance; to yield to." dictionary definition of compulsion is: "The The act of compelling or driving by force, physical or moral; constraint of the will; (compulsory, obligatory)." In other words, indulgence implies choice, whereas When compulsion indicates the lack of choice. a person has no proper release for his desires they rapidly build up and become compulsions. particular time and place If everyone had a for the purpose of periodically in- dulging in their personal desires, without fear of embarrassment or reproach, they would be sufficiently released to lead unfrustrated lives in the everyday world. 81 They would be free to — plunge headlong into whatever undertaking they might choose instead of going about their duties half-heartedly, their creative urges frustrated by denying their natural desires. This would apply in the majority of cases, but there will always be those who work better under pressure. Generally, those who need to endure a certain amount of hardship to produce to their full capabilities are in basically artistic vocations. (More through self-denial.) be said will about fulfillment later This does not mean to imply that artists fit into this category. On many the contrary, all artists are unable to produce unless their basic animal needs have been satisfied. For the most part, it is not the artist man the average middle-class working the proper release for their desires.

It ever conscious of his "moral obligations," is is society's bills he who must be and who is condemned for normally indulging in his natural desires. The Satanic religion considers this a gross injustice. who upholds his responsibilities He should be most entitled to the pleasures of his choice, without censure from the society he serves. Finally a religion (Satanism) has been formed which com- mends and rewards those who support the society in which they live, instead of denouncing them for their human needs. From every set of principles (be some good can be philosophical), it religious, political, or extracted. Amidst the mad- ness of the Hitlerian concept, one point stands out as a shining example of when he —"strength this offered the through joy!" Hider was no fool German people happiness, on a personal level, to insure their loyalty to him, and peak efficiency from them. It has illnesses been clearly established that the majority of all are of a psychosomatic nature, and that psychosomatic illnesses are a direct result of frustration. It has been said that "the good die young." The good, by Christian standards, do 82 die young. It is the frustration of our natural instincts which leads to the premature deterioration of our minds and bodies. It has become very fashionable to concentrate on the better- ment of the mind and to one's and to consider giving pleasure spirit, body (the very shell without which the mind and spirit could not exist) to be coarse, crude, and unrefined, as of late, MOST PEOPLB WHO DEEM THEMSELVES EMANCIPATED HAVE LEFT NORMALCY ONLY TO "TRANSCEND" INTO IDIOCY!

It seems, to the Satanist, that after being harnessed with unreasonable religious for so many human for once! demands one would welcome the chance to be centuries, If anyone thinks that by denying his natural desires he can avoid mediocrity, he should examine the Eastern mystical beliefs which have been in great intellectual favor in recent years. Chris- tianity is "old hat," so those who wish to escape its fetters have turned to so-called enlightened religions, such as Buddhism. Although Christianity is certainly deserving of the criticism has received, perhaps it has been taking more than of the blame. The Both humanisms on religions are based as the "misguided" Christrite philosophies, mystical religionists profess to be enlightened from the guilt-ridden dogma which However, the Eastern mystic is is but the and emancipated typified by Christianity. even more preoccupied than the Christian with avoiding animalistic actions that remind he is share followers of the mystical beliefs are every bit as guilty of the little tians. its it not a "saint," but merely a man—only him another form of more often worse, than those who and who, because of his "divine spiritual and animal, sometimes better, walk on all fours; intellectual of development," has become the most vicious animal all! The Satanist asks, "What is 83 wrong with being human, and having human limitations as well as assets?" desires the mystic has come no closer to than his kindred soul, the Christian. By denying his overcoming compulsion The Eastern mystical beliefs have taught people to contemplate their navels, stand on their heads, stare at blank walls, avoid the use of labels in discipline themselves against ure. Nevertheless, I am any desire for sure you have seen many and materialistic pleasjust so-called disciplined yogis with the inability to control a habit as anyone else; or just as life, as many smoking supposedly emancipated Buddhists become just as excited as a "less aware" person when member of the opposite—or in some Yet when asked to explain the reason they are confronted with a cases, the — same sex. for their hypocrisy, these people retreat into the ambiguousness —no one can pin them down which characterizes their faith there are The no if straight answers that can be given! simple fact of the matter that the very thing which is has led this type of person to a faith which preaches abstinence, is indulgence. Their compulsive masochism is the reason for choosing a religion which not only advocates self-denial, but praises them for it; and gives them a expression for their masochistic needs. sacrosanct avenue of The more abuse they can stand, the holier they become. Masochism, to most people, represents a indulgence. Satanism points out of rejection many meanings behind meanings, and considers masochism to be an indulgence if the any attempt to sway or change the person from his masochistic traits is met with resentment and/or failure. The Satanist does not condemn these people for giving vent to their masochistic desires, but he does feel the utmost contempt towards those who cannot be honest enough (at least with themselves) to face and accept their masochism as a natural part of their personality make-up. Having is to use religion as an excuse for their masochism bad enough, but these people actually have the effrontery to feel superior to those who expression of their fetishes! are not bound-up in self-deceitful These people would be the condemn a man who found his 84 first to weekly release with a person who would beat releasing himself him soundly, thereby the very thing which would, if — make him By unreleased, — a compulsive church-goer or religious fanatic. are from as they finding adequate release for his masochistic desires, he no longer needs to debase and deny himself in his every waking moment, as do these compulsive masochists. Satanists are encouraged to indulge in the seven deadly sins, as they need hurt no one; they were only invented by the Church to insure guilt on the part of its followers. The Christian Church knows that it is impossible for anyone Christian to avoid committing these sins, as they are all things which we, inevitably committing being human, most naturally do. After these sins financial offerings to the church in order to "pay off" God employed as a sop to the parishioner's conscience! are Satan has never needed a book of natural forces have kept man and "sinful" rules, because vital intent on preserving himself and his feelings. Nevertheless, demoralizing attempts have been made on which only his illustrate body and being for his "soul's" sake, how misconceived and misused the labels of "indulgence" versus "compulsion" have become. Sexual activity certainly is condoned and encouraged by Satanism, but obviously the fact that honestly takes this stand, given so much the reason it has been traditionally literary space. Naturally, them is the only religion which it is if most people belong to sexually, anything written going to make for on religions this provocative subject is titillating reading.

The Eastern mystical beliefs teach humans to discipline themselves against any conscious will for success so they might dissolve themselves into "Universal Cosmic Awareness" —any- thing to avoid good healthy self-satisfaction or honest pride in earthly accomplishments!

But for anyone who has every opportunity for material gain, to choose this form of religious thought seems foolish, indeed! The Eastern mystic believes strongly in reincarnation. To who has virtually nothing in this life, the possibility may have been a king in a past life or may be one in the life is very attractive, and does much to appease his need a person that he next for self-respect. If there in this life, is nothing in which they can take pride they can console themselves by thinking, "there are always future lives." It never occurs to the believer in reincarnation that his father, grandfather, if had developed "good karmas," by beliefs and and great-grandfather, etc their ethics as his present ones adherence to the same —then why is he now living in privation, rather than like a maharajah? Belief in reincarnation provides a beautiful fantasy world in which a person can find the proper avenue of ego-expression, but at the same time claim to have dissolved his ego. This emphasized by the past or future roles people is choose for themselves in their lives. Believers in reincarnation able character. If the person is do not always choose an honorof a highly respectable and con- servative nature, he will often choose a colorful rogue or gangster, thereby fulfilling his alter-ego. Or, a social status may woman who has much pick a harlot or famous courtesan for the characterization of herself in a past life. If people were able to divorce themselves 93 from the stigma attached to personal ego-fulfillment, they would not need to play self-deceitful games such as belief in reincarnation as a means of satisfying their natural need for ego-fulfillment. The Satanist believes in complete gratification of his ego. Satanism, in the only religion which advocates the in- fact, is encouragement of the ego. Only tensification or a person's if own ego is sufficiently fulfilled, can he afford to be kind and complimentary to others, without robbing himself of his self- We respect. generally think of a braggart as a person with a large ego; in reality, his bragging results from a need to satisfy his impoverished ego.

It will allow the Satanist to who is down the stairs to peek this child-like vitality that peek through the curtain of darkness and death and remain earthbound. Self-sacrifice is not encouraged by the Satanic religion. Therefore, unless death comes as an indulgence because of extreme circumstances which make the termination of welcome is relief from an unendurable earthly frowned upon by the Satanic own was intolerable for them, but to use as a tool to further the religious belief. that suicide, if existence, suicide their lives, —even though 94 not because supreme sacrifice We must assume, done for the sake of the church, and even encouraged a religion.

The stories of unbaptized babies being stolen by Satanists for use in the mass were not only effective propaganda measures, but also provided a constant source of revenue for the Church, in the form of baptism fees.

Furthermore, a black mass does not necessarily imply that the performers of such are Satanists. 100 A black mass is essentially a — parody on the religious service of the Roman Catholic Church, but can be loosely applied to a satire on any religious ceremony. To the Satanist, the black mass, in orthodox of all rites, is its blaspheming of The nothing more than a redundancy. services established religions are actually parodies of old rituals performed by the worshippers of the earth and the flesh. In attempts to de-sexualize and de-humanize the Pagan beliefs, later men of spiritual faith whitewashed the honest meanings behind the rituals into the bland euphemisms "true mass."

In the year 1666, some rather interesting events occurred in prance.

An inter- esting sideline of Sir Francis, which lends a clue to the climate of the Hell-Fire Club, was a group called the Dilettanti Club, of which he was the founder. It was the 19th Century that brought a whitewashing to Satanism, in the feeble attempts of "white" magicians trying to perform "black" magic.
