From investigator Leo we learn this: Two pillars of Satanism are 1) "Do as thy wilt." This was the motto of Occult master Alistair Crowley and Church of Satan founder and ritualist Anton LaVey. Often disguised as Humanism, the credo shuns codes of ethics, and, mostly, Christianity, in favor of individual choice. 2) "Might makes Right." This pervasive contemporary ideology views sheer power as the determining factor in achieving success. It is rooted in the idea of power over others.
