The Devil's Notebook is a 1992 book by Anton LaVey. It was published by Feral House (ISBN 0-922915-11-3).
The collected wisdom, humor, and dark observations by the founder of the Church of Satan, The Devil’s Notebook was the first original collection of LaVey’s writings to be published in two decades. The High Priest speculates on such topics as nonconformity, occult faddism, Nazism, terrorism, satanic child abuse, cannibalism, erotic politics, the “Goodguy badge,” demoralization and the construction of artificial human companions. Like P.T. Barnum, Ben Hecht and H.L. Mencken before him, LaVey zeroes in on humankind’s limitless capacity for self-deceit and self-denial. Included are instructions for the creation of what LaVey terms "total environments," or places of magical evocation, where the enlightened may escape the deleterious effects of contemporary existence.
LaVey also describes in great detail a ritual on transforming oneself into a Werewolf. Whether Psychological or Physical the ritual has a great effect on the user. There are many people who swear by its transformation, claiming that they feel closest to their 'True Self' in this Werewolf state.
This however is quite similar to that act of Shapeshifting that many Shamans and other Magickworkers practice.
