LAVEYAN SATANISM 🔥

It was 1966 in California when Anton Szandor LaVey established a religion, going by the name of LaVayan Satanism; a religion which would soon become one of the most well-known of several Satanist movements in history.

Gathering inspiration from the literary works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Avyn Rand, the beliefs and doctrines of LaVeyay Satanism are documented in The Satanic Bible. The contents of this book, first published in 1969, include rituals, observations, and beliefs outlining Modern Satanism. 

The Satanic Bible has been entitled as the most important document in the influence of modern Satanism, due to it's philosophical and structural content that presented a profound understanding on the basic laws, rules, and beliefs of Anton LaVey's religion. 

Before the publishing of The Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey identified as an atheist and lacked belief of God, which contributed to LaVey Satanism's belief that Satan does not literally exist. Instead, LaVeyan Satanism criticises against the belief of a higher being's existence that Christians and Super naturalists hold, their argument justified by the evidence of biology and natural phenomena contributing to the creation of planet Earth. LaVey did not identify as religious.

Instead of worshipping a higher being, LaVeyan Satanism, their perspective of Satan revolved around rebellion and refusal of society's systems. Their religion emphasised freedom and rights, and Anton defined the exemplary Satanist as someone who was non-conforming to social systems, laws; a person who praised individual pride, respect, and a higher ego than what a mainstream citizen would possess. 

The with-standing belief Anton LaVey held surrounding the advantages of self-indulgence, ego, and rebellion would lead him, now the leader of  to document The Eleven Satanic Rules of The Earth.
