The Devil and Anton Lavey with Carl Abrahamsson

Right Where You Are Sitting Now

We’re back with a devilishly good new episode in which we finally tackle the man, the myth, the legend…Anon Lavey. Our guide into The Black House this week is author, filmmaker, musician and occultist Carl Abrahamsson.

This week we dive into all things Lavey with a true expert and discuss: Is Anton Lavey a ‘real occultist’, the celebrity aspect of Lavey’s life, Lavey’s impact on the occult milieu, and much more.

Carl has a new book out via our friends
at Inner Traditions called ‘Anton Lavey and the Church of Satan’, and we highly recommend it.

For the eagle-eyed and perhaps more ‘old-school’ enjoyers of SittingNow, you may remember we made a video with Carl back in 2014 at Scarlet Imprint’s ‘A Pleasure Dome’ event. Why not get a double-dose of Abrahamsson?
