You may notice that most of today’s pioneering authors and perpetuators of education on Left-Hand paths are females! In the past, the most notable authors and founders of LHP traditions were visibly male – Michael Aquino (founder of the Temple of Set), Anton LaVey (founder of the Church of Satan) and Peter H. Gilmore (present-day Magus of the Church of Satan) are a few examples.
This male-dominated field is certainly changing!

Diane Vera is quite arguably ‘the’ voice of Theistic Satanism today.
