[[Anton LaVey]] in ''[[The Satanic Bible]]'' has Leviathan representing the element of Water and the direction of west, listing it as one of the Four Crown Princes of [[Hell]]. This association was inspired by the [[hierarchy of Hell|demonic hierarchy]] from ''The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage''. The [[LaVeyan Satanism|Church of Satan]] uses the Hebrew letters at each of the points of the Sigil of [[Baphome]]t to represent Leviathan. Starting from the lowest point of the pentagram, and reading counter-clockwise, the word reads "לויתן": (Nun, Tav, Yod, Vav, Lamed) Hebrew for "Leviathan".
