Detailed Notes

  1. I would like to talk about your life as a Satanist, and Magistra Templi Rex, but first if we can have a little background. Can you tell us a little bit about Blanche Barton?
  2. When were you first introduced to Satanism?
  3. If you don’t mind me asking, what were your first impressions of Anton LaVey?
  4. What was the early Church of Satan like for you?
  5. Was there ever a question the Church of Satan would last as long as it has, becoming a powerful Zeitgeist?
  6. What was it like becoming a mother for you? I ask because every woman I know is changed by it, but not everyone is effected the same way.
  7. Was it ever a burden trying to help run the Church of Satan, and be a mother and wife? (Did you work outside the Church of Satan during those years as well?)
  8. I am sure you met some amazing and probably strange people in your time, did you ever worry about letting people into your lives? Was it hard to trust?
  9. You wrote and released two very powerful books. The Secret Life of a Satanist and The Church of Satan.
  10. When did you decide to write a biography about Anton LaVey? 
  11. Did you learn anything about him that you did not know before collecting the stories for the book?
  12. There has been speculation that some of the information may not be completely accurate. Was there ever a point when you were compiling the book and just thought ‘come on, is that really true?’
  13. The Church of Satan was a wonderful book. Though as with any organization that grows and evolves, there is some information that is out of date. Have you ever considered writing a new edition?
  14. What are some of the big changes you would make to it today?
  15. When do you see yourself releasing that revised edition?
  16. You were also featured in the Satan Takes a Holiday album. What was that process like? 
  17. Would you be willing to talk to us about the passing of your lover, friend, husband, and High Priest Anton LaVey?
  18. Were you ever worried at this point, the Church of fracture and dissolve?
  19. What was it like running the Church of Satan as High Priestess?
  20. Can you speak to the Black House? What about it made you run a campaign to save it in 1999?
  21. Did you get close to your goal of saving the Black House?
  22. It must have been very difficult for you, what was the process of handing off the title of High Priestess like? What informed your decision?
  23. Do you ever regret that your life and the Church of Satan will forever be intertwined?
