LaVey was ultimately a materialist, and while he would occasionally entertain the idea of magic, in general (both in public and private) he generally denied any sort of "supernatural" and it has been claimed that the only reason he included any sort of magic in his Satanic Bible at all was as a gimmick, essentially giving Christians more to protest and as a selling point to occultists and other non-conformists.

Anton Szandor LaVey
Anton LaVey, whose real name is Howard Stanton Levey, is an American author and musician with a particular interest in the occult. He founded the Church of Satan and wrote The Satanic Bible. Anton LaVey died in 1997.
Satanism came around when Anton LaVey announced the Church of Satan in 1966. However, that is when it "officially" came around. The philosophy with Satanism can be traced back way before Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan.
Anton LaVey was the founder of the Church of Satan and is known for promoting atheistic Satanism. He rejected the idea of a literal devil or supernatural entity and instead focused on individualism, self-empowerment, and indulgence. While his beliefs and practices may be controversial or considered provocative to some, he was not a traditional genie or wizard.
There is only one "Satanic Bible", written by Anton Szandor LaVey, however there are a variety of other "satanic" books that have been used as source material (aka Bibles) by various satanists over the years ranging from classical grimmoires like the Goetia to the telephone book.
