Satanists have long been associated with the
Cabbalists, Rosicrucians and other secret, mystical
orders of the Middle Ages and later. Modern, orga-
nized satanism first appeared in California in the
1960s.
In 1966, Anton Szandor LaVey announced
that he had founded the Church of Satan. But ac-

tually, at the beginning of the 20th century, long
before LaVey, Aleister Crowley laid the founda-
tions of what would become modern satanism.
Known as “The Beast 666,” Crowley became infa-
mous for his evil spells, and rituals with liberal use
of narcotics in masses and in which animals were
sacrificed. Crowley’s basic philosophical principle

was “Do what thou wilt.”
