Everybody wants to be seen as "the good guy". In this episode of Satansplain, we'll look at Anton LaVey's essay, "The Goodguy Badge", what this Satanic concept means, and the various sellers of this badge of self-righteousness. Perhaps it's a lesson more applicable today than ever before.

In 1972, Anton Szandor LaVey released The Satanic Rituals, the companion book to The Satanic Bible. Yet it seems to be the one book of LaVey's which Satanists often pay the least attention to. Satansplain presents a 3-episode exploration of The Satanic Rituals. Part 1 starts with a preliminary debunking of common Satanic ritual misconceptions, an overview of the "whys" and "hows" of Satanic ritual, some history on the book itself, an initial peek into the book's contents, and a look at the general underlying human urge for ritual.
