In this illuminating volume chronicling the birth of the Satanic Temple, we hear from a remarkable array of contributors who have shaped the course of modern Satanism. Anton LaVey, the pioneering founder of Satanism, and his insightful daughter, Karla LaVey, the last living witness to its inception, provide unparalleled firsthand accounts. Stanton LaVey, Anton's grandson, adds a unique generational perspective. Peter Gilmore, a prominent figure from the Church of Satan, and Lucien Greaves, a small voice in the contemporary Satanic movement, lend their insights. Shane Bugbee, esteemed author, friend, and the last person Anton LaVey ordained as a priest in the Church of Satan, offers a deeply personal and rare authoritative perspective. Together, they paint a vivid tapestry of a provocative and enduring ideology.
