Deep dives
Growing Up in a Unique Household
Zina Schreck, born in 1963 and daughter of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, grew up in an unconventional and tumultuous environment shaped by her father's Machiavellian and psychopathic tendencies. LaVey's charisma and beliefs fostered a household where he was both admired and feared, leading Zina to adopt a dutiful role in support of him. The pervasive themes of deception and manipulation came to define her upbringing, as she felt compelled to defend her father's legacy during the satanic panic of the 1980s. Driven by her conscience and a subsequent awakening to the lies she had accepted as truth, Zina eventually distanced herself from that life and sought a new direction.
