    To Setians: What are your opinions on the "Satanist" label and how do your beliefs differ?

    Dear STL, You asked: "What are members of the Temple of Set or its Orders required to believe in order to be Setians? What are your beliefs when it comes to deities?" There are no theological requirements for First Degree (Setian) or Second Degree (Adept) Initiates within the Temple of Set...

    Reason, Religion, Magic, Setianism

    Dear Adramelek, You wrote: The First Degree Setian also begins to work closely with an Initiate of the Setian Priesthood in a student/mentor sort of relationship. This first working magical relationship is designed to teach and help guide the beginning Setian towards the Degree of Adept which...

    some questions

    Dear andy4f, The Soa Gild is not a blog. Nor is it a forum. I gave you a link that describes it. I've also given you an indication as to what it is. As a final attempt: "The Soa-Gild The Soa-Gild is designed to provide a Mentoring environment for new Setians to help them get better...

    some questions

    Dear andy4f, No, there is no spoon feeding. And really the only way you will know if the Temple of Set is right for you is by Working in it as a I*. Reading books or going to forums won't to that for you. The Soa Gild is talked about briefly here: KHPR 001: So you’re thinking of joining the...

    some questions

    Dear andy4f, It is up to the Recongized First Degree to navigate and use the Setian material they have access to. They can, if they chose, join the Soa Gild which pairs the Setian with an Adept. The primary role of the First Degree is to access the Temple of Set and the Temple of Set will do...

    Looking for Setians for discussions

    Dear Akingu, You wrote: I was a member in the late 80s-90s and have considered re-applying but would rather be Recognized and asked to re-join. As you were a former member you know that it would be highly unlikely that someone would ask you to "re-join". You presumably left on good terms...

    Looking for Setians for discussions

    Akingu, Once you get a feel for the books the Magister suggested (and you are interested in learning more) you could always apply to the Temple of Set directly. Should you be Recognized to the First Degree you could then discuss the reading list with many Setians. While these public forums are...

    Lords of the Left-Hand Path by Dr. Stephen Flowers

    Kemble, Good points. I wasn't taking into consideration that base metaphysical assumptions about "anatta" in Theravada but rather the lack of the "Bodhisattva Ideal" (of course not all forms of Mahayana accept this either). Leave it to someone on the LHP to take a core self to be a ontological...

    Lords of the Left-Hand Path by Dr. Stephen Flowers

    Adramelek, in my opinion it would be the earlier form of Buddhism, Theravada, that would be more aligned with Setian philosophy. Theravada has a focus on the individual coming to their own "enlightenment" and acting as an exemplar, in turn, for others. This would be in distinction from the...

    What do you think about the Black Sun?

    agorman, if you bothered to follow my link to the EoB website you would see that critical thinking is an essential part of the work we do both in EoB and within the Temple of Set. The term "Daemon" is the spelling used within The Black Ship for the "higher self", it's a metaphor which may, or...

    What do you think about the Black Sun?

    For those who might be interested, the Black Sun plays a prominent role in The Black Ship, a book by Malphas. The Black Sun is a symbol of, among other things, Pandemonium, the place of all Daemons. http://siriusink.com/black-ship.html agorman, enjoy your delusions about Set or...learn some...

    Are Setians Reconstructionist?

    Iti oj, That is a good enough reason. So based on your understanding of Setian philosophy and practice (here I'm using the term Setian to point to the Temple of Set), is it reconstructionist in your opinion? All best, Lloyd
