called "the black pope" by many of his followers, anton
lavey began the road to high priesthood of the church of satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: from that time early in his life his path was clear.
Finally, on the last night of April,1966-Walpurgisnacht,
the most important festival of believers in Witchcraft-
LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient
executioners and announced the formation of The Church
Of Satan.He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man's body and his carnal desires as objects
of celebration."Since worship of Fleshly things produces
pleasure,"he said,"there would then be a temple of glorious
indulgence..."

| "On Saturday night i would see men lusting after half-
-naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on sunday mor-
-ning when I was playing the organ for a tent-show evan-
-gelists at the otherend 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
of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they'd be
back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence.
"I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hyp-
-ocrisy, and that man's carnal nature will out!"
