Known for	Church of Satan
Children	Zeena LaVey

Diane Hegarty was born in 1942. As well as being a sorceress, Diane was co-founder with Anton LaVey of the Church of Satan and served as High Priestess for almost 2 decades. Anton LaVey divorced his first wife Carole and began a relationship with Hegarty. She appears in many of the filmed rituals of the Church. These have become stock footage for anyone desiring a depiction of Satanism. Along with her satanic duties as hostess, model enchantress, mother and magician's wife, she helped Anton raise the lion cub, Togare.

Hegarty had administered the Church, typed, edited, and was the secret co-writer and helped LaVey write his books, The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Rituals, The Compleat Witch (aka The Satanic Witch) and The Devil’s Notebook. She did most of the Church's administrative, press and member relations work.

Their daughter Zeena LaVey was in the media spotlight at age 3, at her Satanic baptism.

The LaVeys helped Zeena raise her son Stanton LaVey. In the mid 1980s Hegarty and LaVey had a bitter "divorce". Later in her life, Hegarty dedicated herself to raising the aforementioned Stanton.
