Draft:Michael A. Aquino

  • Comment: Could be notable. Curbon7 (talk) 14:01, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: This really needs a couple more reliable sources. The one interview with Aquino (footnote 1) is a good start, but it is a fairly small journal. If he appeared on Oprah, there would be some newspaper coverage confirming that. Incidentally, it would help a lot if the footnotes used the proper cite web or cite news templates - then we could easily see what is persuasive. Final point: I see this article is create-protected after having been deleted twice before. It would be a good idea to talk to an administrator about having that changed before resubmitting.

Michael Angelo Aquino Baron of Rachane, FSA Scot (October 16, 1946—September 1, 2019), was an American Army officer, academic and occultist. He was a career officer with the US Army specializing in psychological warfare, having previously served in the Vietnam War, where he became a lieutenant colonel.

Upon returning from Vietnam, Aquino became a priest within the Church of Satan, but eventually became disenchanted with the leadership of Anton LaVey, and in 1975, he split from the Church of Satan and established a church of his own, known as the Temple of Set.
