Best Answer

Anton LaVey is the person generally considered to be the person who brought Satanism into the public eye. There were satanists before him, but it's not something they would publicly claim.

LaVey also wrote the Satanic Bible, along with a few other books. He also invited people to come and watch his satanic rituals. For this reason hes often percived as an attention grabber, or a fake - but it could be that he just wanted to make sure his religion (or philosophies) would not be forgotten after he is.

Is Anthony jess lavey really the son of Anton szandor lavey?

No. He has been discredited, and could never prove his claims of being Anton LaVey's son. At least one of the original news sources covering his story (Cornerstone Magazine) issued a retraction and basically said he was a liar when they asked for proof, then he threatened to sue them. LaVey had 2 daughters and only one son, a boy named Xerxes who was born in 1993 and has not converted to Christianity or renounced his father.
