The Satanic Bible - Anton LaVey

This is the classic book that so many Satanists read. Many Satanists throughout the years have taken the path of Satanism because they have read this book and seen a reflection of themselves within the pages. This book offers insights from the High Priest of the Church of Satan's founder, Anton LaVey.

While it was written in 1969, its writing has captivated satanists for a few generations now. I refer to this book as the 'Satanist's Primer' because of its introductory nature. When you read this book you will have insight on the history of Satanism as it began in the late 60's, and you will see influences of that today, within the numerous Satanic orders that have followed in the footsteps of the Church of Satan.



The Satanic Rituals - Anton LaVey

Satanic Rituals, written by Anton LaVey is the companion book to the Satanic Bible. This book allows you to see how LaVey used ritual along with the teachings in his Bible. It contains information on the history of the Black Mass from LaVey's perspective, and it also includes the Rites of the Black Mass, and other rituals that are proper for Satanists.

Some say that this book isn't as useful as the Satanic Bible, but if you read both books together you can see how LaVey intended for these works to be used by the Satanists of his Church. The Black Mass provides an initatory experience, and it allows you to let go of your former religion or whatever path that you were on, breaking your ties with the past so that you can move onto the future. It was adapted from storybooks and translated into German by a member of the Church of Satan. See This link for more information on the Truth and Lies about LaVey.
