Ah, LaVey. A very interesting character in his time. I remember stumbling upon his Satanic Bible in my father’s wardrobe when I was a kid and reading through the entire thing in about a day and a half, hehe. I was so impressed when I read that the two most cardinal sins according to him are stupidity and pretentiousness. What a refreshing viewpoint!

In fairness none of his ideas are original but one must appreciate a person for reviving formerly oppressed ways of thinking. I wouldn’t have come to appreciate and understand protagonists such as Prometheus and Loki (or my own family’s personal deities for that matter) had I not stumbled upon his literature – or if I did, it would’ve been much later and from a more obscure source. It would’ve taken a lot of digging around to see the connections is all, I guess.

Anyway, sorry for the derail.
