The Satanic Bible
The Satanic Bible was written by Anton LaVey in 1969. It contains a collection of essays, observations and basic Satanic rituals, and outlines the Satanic philosophy devised primarily by LaVey (though influences include Machiavelli, Aleister Crowley, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ragnar Redbeard, and Ayn Rand among others).
The book serves mainly to unify the basic tenets of Satanic thought, and is not (by and large) considered to be a rigid doctrinal code. Rather, it is the philosophical foundation of a way of thinking which LaVey was (most probably) the first to term "Satanism".
