"Anton Szandor LaVey - The Satanic Bible" - читать интересную книгу автора (LaVey Anton Szandor)

The evidence is clear to any who are willing to view the record: Anton LaVey
brought Satan out of the closet and the Church of Satan is the fountainhead of
contemporary Satanism. This book summarizes the message both convey, and remains
both challenge and inspiration, as timely today as when it was written.

SAN FRANSISCO December 25, 1976 (XI Anno Satanas)

PREFACE This book was written because, with very few exceptions, every tract and
paper, every "secret" grimoire, all the "great works" on the subject of magic,
are nothing more than sanctimonious fraud - guilt-ridden ramblings and esoteric
gibberish by chroniclers of magical lore unable or unwilling to present an
objective view of the subject. Writer after writer, in efforts to state the
principles of "white and black magic", has succeeded instead in clouding the
entire issue so badly that the would-be student of sorcery winds up stupidly
pushing a planchette over a Ouija board, standing inside a pentagram waiting for
a demon to present itself, limply tossing I-Ching yarrow stalks like so many
stale pretzels, shuffling pasteboards to foretell a future which has lost any
meaning, attending seminars guaranteed to flatten his ego - while doing the same
to his wallet - and in general making a blithering fool of himself in the eyes
of those who know!

The true magus knows that occult bookshelves abound with the brittle relics of
frightened minds and sterile bodies, metaphysical journals of self-deceit, and
constipated rule-books of Eastern mysticism. Far too long has the subject of
Satanic magic and philosophy been written down by wild-eyed journalists of the
right-hand path.

The old literature is the by-product of brains festering with fear and defeat,
written unknowingly for the assistance of those who really rule the earth, and
who, from their Hellish thrones, laugh with noisome mirth.

The flames of Hell burn brighter for the kindling supplied by these volumes of
hoary misinformation and false prophecy.

Herein you will find truth - and fantasy. Each is necessary for the other to
exist; but each must be recognized for what it is. What you see may not always
please you; but you will see!

Here is Satanic thought from a truly Satanic point of view.


The Church of Satan San Fransisco, Walpurgisnacht 1968

PROLOGUE The gods of the right-hand path have bickered and quarreled for an
entire age of earth. Each of these deities and their respective priests and
ministers have attempted to find wisdom in their own lies. The ice age of
religious thought can last but a limited time in this great scheme of human
existence. The gods of wisdom-defiled have had their saga, and their millennium
hath become as reality. Each, with his own "divine" path to paradise, hath
