According to [=LaVey=] himself, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, he ritualistically shaved his head, allegedly "in the tradition of ancient executioners", declared the founding of the Church of Satan and proclaimed 1966 as "the Year One", Anno Satanas-the first year of the Age of Satan (it was later demonstrated that [=LaVey=] in fact shaved his head because he lost a bet and made up the "ancient executioners" story after the fact). [=LaVey=] melded ideological influences from Creator/FriedrichNietzsche, Creator/AynRand, H. L. Mencken, and Social Darwinism with the ideology and ritual practices of the Church of Satan. He wrote essays introduced with reworked excerpts from Ragnar Redbeard's Might Is Right and concluded with "Satanized" versions of John Dee's Enochian Keys to create books such as ''The Complete Witch'' (re-released in 1989 as ''The Satanic Witch''), and ''The Satanic Rituals''.
