About the book: year / "The Witch" is one of LaVey's key works dedicated to the so-called minor magic, and intended mainly for women and dedicated to the Woman. It must be said that the Chief Mystifier of the 20th century loved women sincerely and selflessly, and knew how to understand and feel them well. His connections with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield are, to date, one of the most colorful legends in the history of the creation of the Church of Satan. And this love is felt on every page of this monograph. LaVey's "The Witch" is to this day the best guide to survival, self-determination and self-realization for a modern woman in a modern consumer society. However, obviously without even suspecting it, the Great Mystifier in this work approached problems of a deeper nature related to the survival of humanity as a whole. The Satanic Witch is one of the last works of the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey. The book was first published in 1971 under the title "The Perfect Witch", but was subsequently republished in 1988 as "The Satanic Witch", and until 1988 it was published under the title "The Complete Witches Guide". The book contains the principles by which a woman witch should live, psychotechnics, the relationship of a witch with the outside world and society. The book contains virtually no descriptions of various satanic rituals. Even in The Satanic Bible, LaVey denies the division of magic into light and dark, introducing a different classification, according to which all magic is divided into greater magic, or ritual, and lesser magic, or manipulative, for the implementation of which one does not need rituals. The first type of magic is discussed in more detail in “Satanic Rituals,” while the latter (minor magic) is the subject of “The Satanic Witch.” Ave Satanas!
