Anton LaVey
The most notorious figure in mofern Occultism, LaVey is a witch but he is a Satanist witch, which most Wiccan workers reject because Satanism is merrely an inversion of Christainity. LaVey works out of Los Angeles, has written the eminently sensible and highly witty The Satanist Bible and though she's not often credited, his relied a great deal on his wife Zeena for advice, guuidance and stylistic inspiration. A charismatic figure, he is a true self-made man. He also played the Devil in the Polanski film Rosemarry's Baby. LaVey started out, by the way, as a police photographer - his photographs are very good, indeed!
