It's a hoax that was circulated, esp. among the right, in the lead-up to '04. But it has a comical pop cultural value (well, to me), even though it's a photoshopped fake thing, which is documented here:

Kerry's only real occult that involvement anyone knows about is one he shares w/ Dubya: Skull & Bones.
Now, LaVey's pix with Jayne Mansfield and Sammy Davis, Jr. -- those are, interestingly, real pictures. But not that photoshopped Kerry pic.
