About this episode
In 1972, Anton Szandor LaVey released The Satanic Rituals, the companion book to The Satanic Bible. Yet it seems to be the one book of LaVey's which Satanists often pay the least attention to. Satansplain presents a 3-episode exploration of The Satanic Rituals. Part 1 starts with a preliminary debunking of common Satanic ritual misconceptions, an overview of the "whys" and "hows" of Satanic ritual, some history on the book itself, an initial peek into the book's contents, and a look at the general underlying human urge for ritual.
