He was a evil man. Read Leo Zagami, an ex-mason.

That's interesting, I met his son who became a born-again Christian and gave his testimony at a Full Gospel businessman's fellowship meeting in the late 1980s, he told the stories of his horrific experience being used in Satanic ritual abuse as a child. And revealed other wicked things that they believed in and practiced

Gladly.

@@maryshaffer8474 What they wanted to see. I think it may be that simple.

I believe I might have saw him play a pretty big organ at an establishment called "Pizza and Pipes"** a restaurant that was once relatively close to where I live. I don't know for sure if it was him, but I feel fairly certain that it was, because someone I used to drink with told me he frequently hung out and ate at a Denny's restaurant that was very close to the Pizza and Pipes, and I just put "2 and 2 together" so to speak. If it was him that played there, I certainly didn't know it at the time. ** In case you're wondering, it was mainly a pizza restaurant with a QUITE LARGE pipe organ that could have provided music for the Mormon Tabernacle--I recall the thing being very large, and even had some moving parts in the pipe section that would have fascinated damn near ANY autistic young boy😂😂 Please don't get all super-sensitive about my use of the word "autistic" in such a context!!!!

@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 We used to go to that same restaurant, it was near the JC.

Lydia Benecke, a german criminal psychologist called LaVey probably a narcissist in an analysis of him and his "church"

@@alexanderleuchte5132 Makes sense. I think one of the reasons I idolized LaVey was because (besides being a bit of an edgelord myself with a goofy sense of humor and who, like LaVey, enjoyed cultivating a larger-than-life persona) LaVey's teachings spoke to me as someone who was searching for something that would give me self-confidence. I grew up the son of a violent malignant narcissist so someone like LaVey, peddling "self-confidence" and "empowerment of the self", would certainly attract a young man who grew up instilled with self-hatred. Of course, selling phony philosophy promising "self-empowerment" is the PERFECT profession for a narcissist.

@ASmith1917 Are you familiar with Nikolas Schreck's takes on LaVey? I have been listening to hours of Schreck's interviews in recent months, and I feel pretty confident in his take on LaVey. But, hearing that you are an 'insider', I'd be interested to hear your opinion on Schreck's take. Also would be interested in how you felt about Zeena leaving the church.

@@Noctis_et_Lux I was personally never on good terms with Zeena or Niklas for various reasons I won't get into here, but I think there's definitely elements of truth to Zeena's testimonies of growing up in the Black House. It was certainly an unhealthy family dynamic no matter how you cut the cookie. It's confusing though because his other daughter, Karla, and his son Xerxes, paint a much rosier picture of their father than Zeena and Niklas do, although IT IS telling that every single member of the LaVey family has left the Church of Satan, even those that continue to identify as Satanists.

@@ASmith1917 Thanks for elaborating a bit. Sounds like a very interesting life you've had! if you feel like speaking anymore on the topic in less public setting you can find me on Facebook, same name and profile pic.

What he did wasn't illegal but it wasn't ethical either. I hate gray areas but we have to live with them.

@@mrooz9065 I hate people who argue morals with legalities. It's infuriating when people unironcially argue that a 67 year old dating an 18 year old is okay. People who talk about the law of a state being 16 for consent as if the fact its legal makes it morally okay. You're literally the first comment I've ever seen in relevance to this subject that points this out, thank you for that.

@Kind Asshole Because grooming is a thing. An adolescent will know far less and will be far more susceptible to manipulation/ grooming than someone 30+. It's reasonable to ask what it says about the middle aged or elderly men(or women) who seek out people who are just barely in their adulthood with little life experience or resources.

@@sugarcravings1797 I'm 22 and am only now getting wise to the gaslighting an manipulation tactics that friends casually employ, probably unwittingly, to get their way. An older person intentionally employing manipulation tactics on an 18 year old? Not only is Ms comment above me a great reason itself, taking their life situations into account, but even a perfect life scenario still has grounds for predatory manipulation. The fact is the valley in life experiences is so different that it's far stacked in the older persons favor, they have a lifetime of mental training where an 18 year old is in an insecure turbulent mental space because they are constantly under the stress of trying to make their futures coalesce in an uncertain social and economic sphere, even if they're rich, this is where they discover themselves. Which, is why the idea of an older person inserting themselves as a necessary component in their self discovery, is clearly malicious and self serving. I have a hard time thinking theres anything healthy about a 60 year olds decisions to date someone less than half there age. I don't think the 18+ law was ever meant to be taken as a justification point, it was designed as a hard legal barometer, but just because 18 isn't legally punishable where 17 is, that doesn't make it okay, it makes it not a crime. The law is not designed to punish bad behavior, you won't get arrested for driving like an asshole, and just because you aren't breaking any road laws technically doesn't mean you aren't demonstrating bad behavior indicative of a deeper personality problem. People somehow don't notice this applies to this law too, which, I think is really indicative of the inner character of a lot of people. I think it's a great radar of character when someone is disgusted by an elderly person dating someone soon after they are legally allowed, and someone who thinks its just okay because they traversed the legal technicality. It's ironic how these same peiple say its arbitrary that it's not okay at 17 but it is at 18, not seeming to realize they themselves choose to interpret it that way. Showing a clear intent to lower or conflate this to an even younger age. Its so clearly rooted in malicious intent, it's like the glasses in they live, it seems like me and a sparse few others seem to understand the real damage that is caused by passing this law off as a social certificate of morally just behavior. Sorry for the ramble, but I hate this sort of stuff, like when people think that victims of female pedophiles should feel lucky. Its a common and disgusting moral failing

Joyce Maynard and J.D. Salinger come to mind.

Was this "Carlos" Richard Ramirez?

Sorry to break it to you, but he was still viewed as a nerd on the same level of D&D kids.

I considered myself knowledgeable about the Manson story and know of Lavey as well, never knew there was a connection!

I might be wrong of course but I don't think Jay was into Satanism. He was into bondage and drugs, yes. He probably knew LaVey because most folks did. He may have attended a function LaVey held considering it a spectacle.

you haven't even begun to realize, my friend, how many connections like that are actually in that case Mama Cass, Mia Farrow, even Peter Falk, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson are just some of the names involved somehow into the background of the Manson case even Jim Jones briefly met several members of the so-called Family

@@ledialeylaago191 I have a feeling I'm wasting time explaining this to you because you don't care to learn, but perhaps someone else out there will benefit from it... There are different kinds of Satanism. LaVeyan Satanism is more of an atheistic philosophy and uses the name "Satan" as a symbol. There is no actual god or sacrifice. However Luciferian Satanists are theistic and may use real sacrifices in their ceremonies.

He reminds me of Kane from the Command and Conquer games.

he as a showman, he went to HS in Marin County where I live

I have the biography of him written by Blanche Barton. Inside it is a photo of him that actually stunned me with its "innocence"--He was much younger, with a full head of hair and sitting at an organ keyboard , with a grin or smile as "threatening" as a baby deer. Of course that was the ONLY one--the rest of the photos definitely gave off vibes, that he was NOT someone to be fucked with, even the photos of his younger self besides the one with him at that keyboard with his pleasant smile.

LaVeyan Satanism is like many of the heavy metal bands. They use Satanic imagery and wording as it gets attention and is cool but they do not actually mean any of it and are not actual Satanists

"humanist" Much of what you wrote is true, such as his critique of religious hypocrisy, etc. but Lavey was no humanist, and in fact was very much against the idea that people had any obligation to be altruistic. The Satanic Temple is an example of an organization that also uses a non-literal Satan as a symbol of rebellion against oppression but has tenants of altruism most of us can get behind - and as such they are doing things every day to help others and protect our rights. What remains of the CoS hates them for it, btw.
