Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

1.448 - 41.462

There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started. I'm Susie Atkins. Oh, is that what's happening? I was trying to figure out the Susie Atkins voice. It's been a while since I even thought of her. You're going to. Or is it more Janice? Like, for sure. Oh, yeah. No, sure. I think it's more Janice. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

41.442 - 46.531 Henry Zebrowski

I mean, really, the Manson girls, they're far more tough than when you listen to them talk.

0

46.551 - 69.012

They're like, Charlie Manson is the fucking genius man in this fucking world. Ain't nobody going to take Manson down. It's kind of crazy to see tiny little ladies going like, I'll kill a fucking police officer for Charlie. He's my Christ. He's my Satan in arms. Yeah, they're all hot chicks that ate rocks. Yeah. They weren't as hot as you, you know, when you look back on. They're dirty.

0

69.272 - 75.342

They're younger man's energy, I'd say. I bet you clean them little Manson girls up and you take them anywhere you want.

0

75.362 - 84.797 Henry Zebrowski

Disgust me. Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Sparks. I'm here with Henry Zebrowski. And I'm taking a Swiffer to the Manson girls.

85.807 - 90.554

That's my job is scrubbing them up, scrubbing them down, getting them ready for Ed's consumption.

91.175 - 94.28 Henry Zebrowski

We've got the man who'll give any woman a chance. It's Ed Larson.

94.3 - 100.97

All right. Here comes the hoes. They're twiggy. Who's one of them? They're sneezy.

101.851 - 127.536 Henry Zebrowski

Dopey. Yeah, there's a lot of them. You're thinking of squeaky from. Squeaky. Okay, okay. And here we are at Anton LaVey part three, part three of four. We're going to get into it. We are doing Satanism fully. Yeah, and Anton LaVey fully because it's not just Anton LaVey. That's the thing about Satanism. It's not just him. It's everybody around him.

Chapter 2: How did Anton LaVey's Church of Satan attract celebrities?

562.41 - 577.212 Henry Zebrowski

They would all soon settle at Spahn Ranch. And by August of 1969, just 18 months after Atkins performed in LeVay's show, Atkins was writing the word pig on Sharon Tate's front door with Sharon's own blood.

0

577.392 - 594.087

It's all about coming to play where the work is. Yeah. That's what Hollywood's always been about. It's where the work is, and that's where you go. So, of course, you got picked up that quickly because you went where it was. If Sharon Tate was in San Francisco, she'd carve out the baby there.

0

594.588 - 596.071 Henry Zebrowski

You got to come to Los Angeles.

0

596.091 - 597.975

How many people got murdered in Tate?

0

598.075 - 600.16 Henry Zebrowski

There's five, five or six.

600.14 - 607.351

You know, it sucks for everyone else that wasn't a hot, blonde, like, movie star. They just, they're just lumped in in the Tate murders.

607.371 - 613.601 Henry Zebrowski

Oh, Abigail, yeah, Abigail Folger, Stephen Parent, there was, was that Wojciech Frykowski?

613.621 - 619.55

Well, it's because of the Sharon Job to fucking know their names. But Sharon Tate's one was really sad. Yeah.

619.57 - 621.032 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chapter 3: What significant events occurred during the Witch's Sabbath ritual?

673.568 - 677.835

But guess what you didn't do? Meddle in the affairs of a Hall of Famer. I did not.

0

679.418 - 689.769 Henry Zebrowski

Now, Anton LaVey certainly commented on his association with Susan Atkins, as he did with any infamous character who crossed his path. Susan Atkins was not even close to the last one.

0

689.889 - 691.411

Yeah, he probably fucking loved it.

0

691.431 - 709.29 Henry Zebrowski

Well, I mean, he said that Susan's downfall came mostly because of drugs, which was a fair point, because events with the Manson family certainly would not have gotten as out of hand as they did without the excessive amount of acid that Manson was providing to family members. Of course, whether or not Manson was being provided that acid by the CIA...

0

709.27 - 718.801

is another matter altogether. Long story. We'll get into it. We are doing that, though. We are doing it, yeah.

719.041 - 719.381 Henry Zebrowski

Acid?

719.401 - 719.882

That's great.

719.902 - 721.283 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah, fuck yeah, bro.

721.504 - 724.747

I want to do some fucking CIA acid. Dude, we have some.

Chapter 4: How did Susan Atkins' background influence her involvement with the Manson family?

973.862 - 988.759

And I was like, hey, can you make a church with a big pile of shit on top of it? And I went around flyering. I'm out there in Long Island City trying to put this in bike stores. And people are like, no, I don't want that up in my store. And I'm like, why not? It's hilarious. This is the funniest thing in the world. You just don't understand.

0

988.839 - 1007.821 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah. It's like when I was in college and I was in a band. We called ourselves Hugs a Bunch Pedophile. And when we went out to put flyers around town, that's when we realized... Not everyone finds that funny. It's so funny. It's not that funny. It's not that funny, of course, now. It's stupid. It's what a bunch of kids come up with. But, yeah, no one wanted that in their window.

0

1008.061 - 1021.477

Yeah, exactly. And that's why we're where we're at, man. They should have listened to us, dude. Brown Sabbath is a funny name. That's a funny-ass name, dude. Yeah, and I just played a bunch of, like, there was, like, a Black Sabbath mariachi band. I played their music before the show.

0

1021.537 - 1022.338 Henry Zebrowski

It was a lot of fun. Oh, yeah.

0

1022.438 - 1026.743

It's a great band. Live from North L.A.,

1027.988 - 1049.453 Henry Zebrowski

Now, as the Church of Satan grew in popularity, Anton LaVey's Black Masses became more ornate. Although I made a discovery just this last weekend in Pittsburgh at my favorite store in America, Edie's Entertainment, that put the creation of the Black Masses in a whole new light. See, I'm a collector, and one of the things I collect are the more obscure men's magazines from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

1049.694 - 1069.814 Henry Zebrowski

The ones outside of your standard Playboys, Penthouses, and Hustlers. Playboys too high class, Hustlers too low class. Yeah, you don't like the pissing on the ankles or anything. In Penthouse, it's too middle of the road. And while the pornography contained therein is naturally a bonus, I live in the year 2026, for Christ's sake. I don't need magazines to obtain pornography.

1069.935 - 1084.388

I also kind of feel weird. You know what's funny is that I don't mind pre-fluffing to a woman that's definitely dead, but there's something about masturbating to completion to a woman that is very much a skeleton in a grave.

1084.608 - 1090.655 Henry Zebrowski

I have no problem with that, but... That's neither here nor there. Because you're not jerking off to these magazines, are you? No, no, no. Oh, sure.

Chapter 5: What led to Anton LaVey's disillusionment with the Church of Satan?

3252.628 - 3272.415 Henry Zebrowski

In his mind, he'd wanted the Church of Satan to evolve into a, quote, Kabbalistic underground instead of the long-running pageant it had become. And that is, of course, his words, long-running pageant. And furthermore, the grotto system under Michael Aquino had, again, in LaVey's words, turned the church into a Satan pen pal club.

0

3272.435 - 3277.242

It's kind of funny. Yeah, it went from, like, ceremonies to meetings. Yeah. Exactly.

0

3277.442 - 3300.53 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah. But concerning the pageantry, LeVay began feeling embarrassed to be seen with members who wanted to show the whole world that they were Satanists all the time, wherever they went. LeVay said that he'd step off a plane and there his dark children would be, huddled together in black velvet robes and capes with huge Baphomet necklaces at the fucking airport.

0

3300.69 - 3304.535 Henry Zebrowski

Because there's a time and place for this shit, and it ain't the fucking airport.

0

3304.555 - 3311.121

I've learned- Yeah, he's got a target on his back. He doesn't need the moment he lands for there to be a crowd waiting for him.

3311.141 - 3311.563 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah, yeah.

Chapter 6: How did Anton LaVey's views on public image change?

3311.583 - 3315.499

Like, here's the Church of Satan guy. Everybody kill him. Yeah.

0

3316.154 - 3334.844 Henry Zebrowski

From how LeVay saw it, the grassroots people around the country didn't know much about subtlety or decorum. In other words, LeVay was disappointed that as Satanists, they didn't know how to just be cool. Just fucking hang out. It doesn't have to be like this all the fucking time. He said, and this is my favorite Anton LeVay quote.

0

3335.645 - 3356.123

I was trying to present a cultured, manned image. And their idea of protest to shock was to wear their lodge regalia into the nearest Denny's. This is the thing that I think about all the time, because this is kind of what I've even modeled myself after in a way, because Anton LaVey, he straight up gets what he kept saying.

0

3356.163 - 3376.013

He's like, the Church of Satan part of me is only like a 20 percent part of me. Like I actually have all these other things. I am actually I have all these other abilities and all these other interests. And I started this thing and it was actually never supposed to be a merch carrying club. Like this was supposed to go underground for me.

0

3376.093 - 3394.632

This was supposed to be for me and for the people like minded to me. Because Satanists, if you believe how the Satanists believe themselves, we're the fucking elite. That's the idea, right? We're supposed to be the fucking top of the top. They don't get fucking pulled in the nets of these religions and shit. It makes you naturally a very divisive human being.

3394.972 - 3399.421

But the dude fucking just was like, can't you just... Do it with style.

Chapter 7: What was the significance of Sammy Davis Jr. in the context of Anton LaVey?

3399.722 - 3407.451

Yeah. Yeah. Or just hang out. He was right about the Denny's thing. I feel like that's wherever I see a Satanist is in like a Denny's or a shitty diner.

0

3407.591 - 3413.659 Henry Zebrowski

Well, I mean, I don't know what it is, but just, I mean, it's a well-known fact that goth kids are drawn to Denny's. It is.

0

3413.759 - 3414.64

It's a safe place.

0

3414.74 - 3415.141 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah.

0

3415.181 - 3417.043

Perkins as well. They like Perkins.

3417.063 - 3424.092 Henry Zebrowski

Yeah. No, I mean, I don't know how many times you just hung out and it was because you could sit, hang out in a Denny's, unlimited coffee, and you could smoke.

3424.292 - 3425.053

And they won't kick you out.

3425.073 - 3426.655 Henry Zebrowski

And they won't kick you out. And it's open 24 hours.

3426.635 - 3428.277

As long as you don't fight nobody, you good.

Chapter 8: How did Sammy Davis Jr.'s experiences shape his relationship with Satanism?

3491.632 - 3501.802 Henry Zebrowski

He didn't want to be the center of attention for a bunch of Satanists he didn't like or respect, further explaining that for him, which I totally fucking get, Halloween was like New Year's Eve to a bartender.

0

3501.822 - 3510.611

It's just the truth. Hanging out with LaVey was more fun. A Tuesday night, man, that's... When do you want to meet the fucking Pope of the Church of Satan?

0

3510.631 - 3513.554 Henry Zebrowski

I want to meet the Pope of the Church of Satan on April 14th.

0

3513.614 - 3515.457

Yes, middle of the day.

0

3515.777 - 3523.006 Henry Zebrowski

Actually, not April 14th back, because he's in preparations for Volpurgisnacht. Yes. Yeah, I want to meet him sometime in, like, June.

3523.187 - 3528.293

Yeah, after. During the normal anti-Christian celebration.

3528.273 - 3547.53 Henry Zebrowski

LaVey also announced that in an attempt to steer the church back to a dignified place, he was done doing performative satanic rituals. He said that the new type of Satanist is not ostentatious nor garish, but a substantial, responsible citizen who prefers to keep his Satanism on the inside rather than on his sleeve.

3547.51 - 3562.047 Henry Zebrowski

LeVay had also dismantled Michael Aquino's beloved grotto system because the majority of the grottos couldn't get their shit together due to rivalries, scandals, and the general types of antics that one would expect more in a high school glee club than in a satanic mini-cult.

3562.227 - 3587.007

Can I speak as the charismatic leader of a small group of people that do form side groups and explain that every single time you do that, when you form a Facebook group or you form a Reddit group, Begins to suck and does begin to eat itself because the Internet, because groups of people in those areas, for some reason, just slowly become like evil or dark rats to each other.
