There is no substitute for reading the works of Anton LaVey if you are interested in The Satanic Witch. Read LaVey first, then ask practitioners questions. No one is going to spoon feed you.

I have given, I think, 6 workshops on the history of the Devil. 4 were live at a shop called Muses of Mystery in the city center of Melbourne, Australia; one was at WitchCon online which is a US-based event but open to an international audience; one was at the Australian Wiccan Conference online, Australian based but open internationally. All of these included content on The Satanic Witch, but the most recent workshop, given on 13 January 2024 at Muses of Mystery, foregrounded much more material on Anton LaVey, The Church of Satan, and The Satanic Witch. So if people want to know more about it, apart from doing research yourself, I occasionally do workshops.

Workshop
The Devil’s Mischief 6 Feb 2021

Who is the Devil and what is his association with witchcraft? This workshop will explain the history of the Devil, covering his relationship to ancient Pagan gods, biblical angels, special humans, and his connection to witchcraft today. Join Dr Caroline Tully in this seminar and tutorial in order to learn how to utilise the Devil’s tools of glamour, bedazzlement, wonderment and fascination via techniques of High and Low Magic. Through discussion and practical ritual, ancient and modern approaches to enchantment will be revealed.

The presenter: Caroline Tully is interested in the practical side of magic and has been a modern Witch since 1985. She has written for many Pagan and occult publications and was a feature writer for Australia’s Witchcraft Magazine for six years. Caroline is also an archaeologist who studies ancient Mediterranean Pagan religions and their manifestation in the modern world.

Witchcraft Researcher seeks interviewees.

Dear all, I am a historian at the University of Sussex, and have published several books on early modern witchcraft (particularly focused on gender and emotions). I am currently working on a new book project on the 'identity' of the witch from the early modern period to the present, and am very interested in interviewing practitioners as part of this project. If you would be interested in being interviewed, please email me at [email protected] and I can send you more information. Many thanks for your time!
Laura Kounine.

I can vouch for Dr Laura Kounine, I just did an interview with her.
