Anton Szandor LaVey

The Black Pope of the neon age, who took the mirror of magic and turned it back upon the human animal. He represents the "Primal Ego"—the realization that the "god" we seek is often just the person we see in the glass. He is the organ music in the dark and the Satanic Bible, the one who used the aesthetics of the forbidden to preach a gospel of indulgence and the terrifying freedom of self-creation.
