The founder of this underground Church of Satan is Anton Szandor LaVery, commonly known as LaVery. He was born in Chicago in 1930, and his parents moved to California with him shortly after he was born. Before he founded the church, he was a normal American. He had been interested in music since he was a child and was engaged in work in this field, such as playing, scoring and composing music. However, he was also interested in supernatural things since he was a child, and at the age of sixteen I have felt that I have some supernatural powers since I was 10 years old. In the following decades, he toured in circuses and West Coast carnivals. These experiences made him realize that human beings are quite stupid and that life is meaningless.
Beginning in the 1950s, he was actually invited to serve as a "psychic investigator" in the police station, handling some alternative or missing cases (so there are rumors that there are actually some psychic investigators in the US police force) Many Satanists).
Later, he established an interest group called "Magic Circle" to explore supernatural things and the hidden meanings of the world. The members of the group include many musicians, singers, Hollywood directors, etc.
After discussion, they concluded a series of ideas, especially regarding Satan and the devil, so everyone consciously asked Navi to found a church. Therefore, the "Church of Satan" was officially established between the evening of April 30 and the early morning of May 1, 1966! They chose this time because it was after the beginning of spring for the pagans.
Navigation even called the year when the church was founded the first year of the Age of Satan, that is, 1966 was the year of Satan, 1967 was the second year of Satan, and so on. .
