Our Lady Of Endor

Our Lady of Endor was, besides being a rickety hag of the Old Testament, a former group of Satanists who were founded by a Herbert Arthur Sloane, in Toledo, Ohio, during the 1940's.  Sloane, who was a contemporary and friend to both Antony LeVey and Gerald Gardner, the founders of the Church of Satan and modern Wiccan, believed that he had been visited by a 'horned god' during his childhood whom he identified as Satanas. 
Sloane later came to believe that that horned god was none other than Satan. 
Sloane came to this realization thanks to the book The God of Witches, by Margaret Murray.  He was heavily inspired by classical Gnosticism and blended Gnostic beliefs with his style of Satanism, even going so far as to recite passages from Gnostic texts during ceremonies. 
Soane believed that the 'Christ god' of Christianity was actually a lesser deity to a Greater God, and that Satan was actually the herald of that Greater God.  The serpent in the Garden of Eden had brought truth and knowledge to mankind, as per that Greater God's wishes.  
Sloane was dedicated to his religion, but sadly his group didn't outlive him by long.  He died in the early 1970's, and shortly thereafter the Satanas Cult disbanded.
