    is the storm god set and the thunder god of israel the same deity?

    Dear Werden, First let me say I am enjoying your posts. Keep up the good work! Second, if you have access to a university library just request the book through inter library loans (ILL) they should be able to track a copy down for you at no cost. I'm not sure if a public library can do the...

    What books are you curretly reading? Suggesting? (Setian thread)

    Werden, I don't plan on reading any more of Mihaly's work (not that I won't at some point). I tend to start reading something and it turns into research, which turns into a strange sort of insanity for me...ten years later I have a degree in it. I've learned my lesson. I take what I need and...

    What books are you curretly reading? Suggesting? (Setian thread)

    JWG, It's funny, I would have never read Flow if left to my own devices. It seemed too "self-help", too "easy"--this without ever reading it! However, when I saw it was on the Temple reading list I thought, what the Hel lets give it a go. It really is quite remarkable how books, movies, art...

    How do i know i'm ready?

    UV, I am an obvious n00b here but I have to say that many of your posts that I have read have inspired me or at the very least caused pause for thought. As I understand Initiation and Becoming the first two lines of the above quote speaks volumes. How many people even look for change let a...

    ToS "vrs" Independent Setian... debate thread.

    Dear Daelach, I don't think your example is really so simple. The nonclerical Catholic individual most certainly can speak to God. They cannot, however, administer the Sacraments nor can they be part of the Church's structure. I think you are conflating the physical hierarchy of the Church...

    The 3 Setians

    Valor, I appreciate your offer and will take you up on it at some point, no doubt. Xeper, LK

    The 3 Setians

    Valor, there were a couple I want to read on your list. Thank you for sharing that. Xeper, L

    My Setianism

    PointyHat, I would like to step off-topic for a moment to address your ONA posts. I presented a paper at the conference and you are right, the ONA presentations were of great interest to the participants of the conference; at least they were to me. One thing I observed at the conference was...

    Setian Plague

    An interesting read but dated. The article was written in 1995 presumably just following his affiliation and subsequent departure from the Temple. I would take anything written 14 years ago and obviously informed by some agenda (eg. CoS is Satanism as seen in the "fine print") with a grain of...

    Xeper and the Self

    Thank you very much for clarifying those points for me Sireal; it helps make sense of a few things I've been reading regarding the ToS's general spiritual outlook. Lloyd

    Xeper and the Self

    I realise that my question presented above is very upon ended. I guess what I am asking is: Is the Black flame what drives us to "Become" and is that flame, in turn, derived from Set? Also, is the Subjective universe the matrix through which one gains mastery of oneself (for example using LBM)...

    Xeper and the Self

    On that note then, can you speak to the connection, as you see it, between Set, the Black Flame and the Subjective Universe in the process of mastery? I realise that this is a complex question. I was going to post the question in a separate thread but it seems fitting for this one. Great post...

    Questions about ToS Scroll of Set and reading lists

    Hello Daelach, You are, of course, right about copyright vs. quoting. However, when I research esoteric traditions I try to follow an ethical standard, if possible, that includes not using initiatory material, even if available to non-initiates. I'm not saying people are unethical for using...

    Heathen and Asatruar, What is the Difference?

    Hello Ryynänen47, The difference, as I understand it, is that while Asatru focuses on the Aesir (but that generally includes the Vanir and other beings not hostile to the Aesir), heathenism is a more general term which may or may not involve devotion to the Aesir. Asatru usually focuses on the...

    It is as I suspected, thank you very much for your prompt reply Sireal.

    Asatru Question

    I forget who the interviewee was...come to think of it I seem to forget which podcast it was (the cast on Thor?) but a Ravencast interviewee mentioned that he saw Thor not as the god of thunder or storms but as the very storm itself. I like the idea that the gods can be seen not necessarily as...

    Questions about ToS Scroll of Set and reading lists

    Hello everyone, This is a question to current members of the ToS or those who are in a position to know about current ToS publications policies. I have emailed ([email protected]) for information but I fully realise that the ToS must have a myriad of emails to wade through so I thought, given the...

    Just surfed in...now I'm registered :-)

    I understand, and agree for the most part though I find that often those very concepts you mention are oversimplified and removed from the larger context of Jungian and post-Jungian thought when they appear in more mainstream writings...I suppose my rambling would be better suited to a thread...

    LOL...knock yourself out! Mmmm...virtual voyeurism :clap Caladan, I'm curious, what do you mean by "Jungian thought to be an 'easy listening' philosophy" ? Specifically, I'm curious what aspect of Jungian thought you have in mind. I would just like to orient myself here.

    Hello Odion, I studied religion because I wanted to do an English and Philosophy undergrad degree but either failed or received a poor mark in both areas! I really wanted to study religion (got better marks in those courses) but figured the Eng./Phil. would be more employable. Ah the folly of...
