1. Religious Setianism
Brief discussion of Religious setianism (Setians who have chosen to believe in themodern religion of Set as well as pursuing the philosohpy of Xeper) as found

Religious Setianism
(posted to the Setian mailing list)
edited by: Balanone, Apr. 1998 I think it is vital to distinguish religious Setians - such as myself, Balanone, Magister Kelly, and others - as particular aspects of the process of Self improvement and individual growth we call XEPER . It was as a result of MY Xeper that I became a religious Setian, that is where MY Work led me. However, what constitutes the elements which manifest as this "religious understanding" for me may very well not work for anyone else, nor ideally should it (except for those wondrous cases of synchronicity). There is no single Path, and no sure destination of where that path may lead you. The important considerations: Are you Xepering? Do you continue to grow?

Now, you can Xeper and not be a religious Setian, but you can't be a true religious Setian without Xeper - if the term is to have any substantive meaning. Each of us follows a path of our own making; where this path inevitably leads the individual is indeed a grand mystery, one which constitutes the wonder, beauty and Artistry of the LHP. As Adepts and First Degree Setians, it becomes important to understand that the religious Setians do not have any expectation nor desire for you to join them. It is something which will

5. Einauga Kindred - Why We Can't Support Heathens Against Hate, And Why We Don't T
No. This leads us into part two of our clarification section setianism.
http://www.charm.net/~volsunga/NOHAH.htm
“Why we cannot support the ‘Heathens Against Hate’ web ring… and why we don’t think you should either” I kept seeing them when I went to Heathen web pages… little well crafted logos usually at the bottom of a page with the slogan ‘Heathens Against Hate’. Needless to say my interest was peeked and I decided to see what this was all about. The premise seemed sound, Heathens proudly declaring that they were opposed to the small, but often loud, group of people constantly trying to inject their ideologies into the larger Heathen culture. But then I read the description more closely and I found many problems with their statement of intent. I would like to address each of these problems in detail and let the reader decide. “The groups to which I refer claim to be Asatru or Norse Heathen when in fact they do not practice the Old Northern traditions, and by their actions make it clear that they neither grasp the true nature of Paganism nor know the ways of the Old Gods.” Neither grasps the true nature of Paganism nor knows the ways of the old gods? I think it awfully presumptuous of a person to say that they know the true nature of anything , let alone something as numinous as ‘Paganism’. Heathenism is a polytheistic religion, and as such has ‘poly’ (many) views and interpretations, none of them more true than the next. It appears to me that the author is the one who does not grasp the nature of ‘Paganism’ because they are bogged down with what I call “mono-thought”. Heathens may not agree with each other, but we don’t have heretics because our religion is ultimately a very personal one free from dogma and “thou shall not” statements.

Divination, Magical and Occult Resources Divination Ouija Ouija gives you entertainment you have never experienced. It draws the two people using it into close companionship and weaves about them a feeling of mysterious isolation. Unquestionably the most fascinating entertainment for modern people and modern life. Weird and mysterious. Surpasses in its unique results, mind reading, clairvoyance, and second sight. It furnishes never failing amusement and recreation for the entire family. As unexplainable as Hindu magic - more intense and absorbingly interesting than a mystery story I-Ching I Ching readings are a form of Stichomancy: Three coins are cast, or, the yarrow sticks are divided, and the result is referenced in the I Ching or "Book of Changes", one of Confucianism's Five Classics. The selected passages convey information and philosophy that pertains to the life of the questioner.

Is the Temple of Set a religion?

    Text Navigation

  • On Jun 9, 1994, John Machate posted in the PODS ADF echo, and I responded:
    John, What evidence would you wish to see to determine whether Setianism is a religion? (To many it's not it's primarily a philosophy and a way of life, but it is a religion to its priesthood and quite a few others. I am a member of that religion.) In the Temple of Set's entry, under the section "Basic Beliefs", we find: > The Temple considers itself to be consecrated by and dedicated to Set, originally an ancient Egyptian deity. One rival cult, that of Osiris whose myths were erroneously assumed to be "pan-Egyptian" by later civilizations portrayed Set as the god of evil. Setians themselves, however, did not then and do not now consider Set an evil figure, nor consider the Setian religion merely a refutation of conventional religion. Setians perceive the universe as a non-conscious but ordered environment within which Set has, over a period of millennia, altered the genetic development of at least one form of life to create a species humanity possessing an enhanced, self-conscious intelligence. The techniques and teachings of the Temple are designed to identify and develop this higher evolutionary potential in appropriate individuals.

The Temple of Set
The Temple of Set was founded in the 1970s by Michael Aquino, a former US soldier (Marine?). He split from the Church of Satan (founded by Anton LaVey) over philosophical differences. The Temple of Set has no official geographic headquarters that I'm aware of. It is primarily an Internet or correspondance-based organization from my understanding, although it does allow its members to form local groupings known as Pylons (originating from an Egyptian word for a temple). Its quarrels with the LaVeyan branch of Satanism have been heated and prolonged, both sides claiming the other to be cheaters and liars. In recent times it seems to have cooled down, and they don't seem to be speaking to each other.
The purpose of the Temple of Set is to "enshrine consciousness." That is, to develop and expand one's conscious being to the utmost limits. They appear to differentiate this consciousness from the concept of "soul" in that the soul is seen to be in another being's care (care of a God or spiritual guardian) while the consciousness is in the direct care of the individual. This consciousness, or self-awareness of being, is the basis for individuality, and sets mankind apart from animals (who have no self-awareness of being). In brief, Setian philosophy seeks acknowledgement, development, and positive evolution of one's consciousness. The archetype of this consciousness is the Ancient Egyptian god Set, whom the Temple of Set claims to be the "oldest known manifestation of the Prince of Darkness." Setians are split between acknowledging Set as an independent metaphysical being, or as a rolemodel and archetypal symbol of what they wish to achieve.

The Setian Plague
by H.J.Mowry, Jr. 4/1995CE Cloaked in "Satanic" terminology and looming in the midst of an academic atmosphere, there exists a sickness that TS (Temple of Set) members refuse to acknowledge but with which they are nevertheless plagued. It contorts, undermines, and marks all of what TS members endeavor to pursue. It acts as an infectious disease raging to epidemic proportions, running wild and stronger the higher it travels through the TS's pretentious degree system. It's the very disease found in all religions and organizations that are accepted upon authority of a "divine" nature. This "plague" which is overlooked and fostered with the TS is one of SELF-DECEIT and HYPOCRISY . It destroys the very principle on which the TS is claimed to be founded: "...to preserve and enhance the more noble concepts which The Church of Satan had conceived and outlined."
Setianism is Not Satanism
My experiences and observations as a member in the TS from June 14, 1993 to February 8, 1995 proved to be far more revealing than the TS would ever concede. There were many subtle yet conspicuous displays of deceit and hypocrisy which are seen by anyone who maintains the slightest semblance of Satanic thought. With the passing of time and through empirical examination it became more and more evident that Setian philosophy and practices are inconsistent with those found in Satanism (as defined in The Satanic Bible).

is the only public mailing list hosted by Setians. Moderation is minimal, topics can be anything of interest to Setians, and participation is open to all who are not openly hostile to the Temple or to Setians. Visit its informational web page for subscription information. - Internet newsgroups - alt.satanism alt.satanism is a newsgroup for discussions of satanic philosophy, religion, organizations, activities, etc. Most Setians avoid the newsgroup because of the high level of juvenile behavior that we run into there. However, there are a few Setians who can be contacted through that newsgroup. - alt.pagan alt.pagan attracts several Setians who belong to that community. We prefer to avoid discussing simply Setian philosophy and religion or Satanism in alt.pagan, since those are more appropriate to alt.satanism, but the relationships between Setian philosophy and religion and other Pagan philosophies and religions are on-topic and suitable for that newsgroup. - soc.religion.paganism soc.religion.paganism is a well-moderated newsgroup in which the same topics can readily be discussed. There are probably fewer Setians on this newsgroup than on the other two, but there should be enough visiting soc.religion.paganism to hold a meaningful discussion when necessary. - FIDO/PODS echoes The Setian Discussions echo (tagname: SET, and previously named "Base of Set" was the only FTN (Fido Technology Network) echo hosted by Setians concerning Setian philosophy or the Temple of Set. Moderation was minimal, and topics could be anything of interest to Setians. Participation was open to all who were not openly hostile to the Temple or to Setians. This echo was carried on the FIDO North America backbone, and by most major hubs within PODS. It was carried in Australia by both FIDO and PODS, and in Germany (and perhaps other areas of Europe) by PODS. Unfortunately that echo closed down in 1999, and is no longer operational. - World Wide Web sites and pages - The Temple of Set's "official" World Wide Web site is http://www.xeper.org/pub/tos/index.html; most sites dealing with the Temple of Set can be found through links from this site. - The Order of the Trapezoid maintains its own web site at http://www.trapezoid.org/ - http://www.dnaco.net/~raensept/ is maintained by a Master of the Temple and contains many pages and links related to the Temple of Set, Setian philosophy, Setian religion, and related topics. It includes copies of the general information letter and other public documents in languages other than English. - FIDO/PODS bulletin board systems: There used to be quite a few bulletin board systems owned and run by Setians, but it seems that all have them have disbanded or gone to mail-only operations. We also used to host a Setian Discussions echo, as part of the FIDO and PODS networks. (PODS is dedicated to Pagan activities and discussions.) That echo is no longer operational. 7.3 Friendly and Neutral Others Though I've often quoted from others' responses to frequently asked questions, still this document is just one person's compilation concerning the Temple of Set. Anyone who needs a more comprehensive view should contact one or more of the other Setians (above, or better through Xepera-l), and perhaps one or more people who aren't Setian. A few people who are active online, whose independent views concerning the Temple of Set at this time appear to be informed and reasonable, are listed in the REF document. Please note that neither I nor the Temple of Set have much influence over nor agree with everything these people say. 7.4 Unfriendly Others The REF document identifies a few people whose messages, documents, or web pages you're likely to run into on the Internet, and who are biased against the Temple of Set for a variety of reasons. 7.5 Getting More Information - General Information Letter The current General Information letter (including membership information and policies) is available upon request. Write to: Executive Director, Temple of Set, Post Office Box 470307, San Francisco, CA 94147, USA. Or provide a *postal* - not E-mail - mailing address to: balfaq.ed@xeper.org There are copies of that letter floating around cyberspace, available on various FTP sites and on BBSs. Unfortunately, most of them are out of date, since the introductory letter is updated semi-regularly, and the files on these unrelated sites aren't. The primary site known and guaranteed to maintain a current copy is the WWW site maintained by a Priest of Set, http://www.xeper.org. - Computerized archives Over the years, a number of other files pertaining to the Temple of Set were made available. These were generally intended for limited distribution, but over time were archived on various Internet and FTN sites along with material /about/ the Temple of Set which did not originate /from/ the Temple of Set. Many of these files contain dated information; the accuracy and authenticity of these is doubtful. In future revisions of this document, comments about these files may be added (if you bring the need for same to our attention). - However, be warned that a lot of files of questionable value are floating around the 'net. Check the source for each document, and if you have questions about its value, ask about it on the Xepera-l mailing list. The REF document discusses at least one such example of this. - Archives hosted by Setians - ftp://ftp.xeper.org/pub Reference: mailto://webmaster@xeper.org Note: This is the only FTP site both managed by a Priest of the Temple of Set and dedicated to the Temple of Set at this time to our knowledge. The reliability of other FTP sites will be lower they will not be as accurate nor current. As other Setian sites are identified they will be listed at http://www.xeper.org - Other FTP sites - FTP://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/religion/satanism/ToS 10/1997: the most recent files found were dated 1994. 9/1999: The site URL has changed (capitalization only), and the most recent files at this time are dated 1996. It does have a 1994 copy of the Temple's reading list. - FTP://nic.funet.fi/pub/doc/religion/occult/magick/thelema/ToS (this is the original slopoke tree moved to funet) - Obsolete FTP links (no longer useful) - FTP://etext.archive.umich.edu/pub/Quartz/occult/set Reference: mailto://ftp@etext.archive.umich.edu (Paul Southworth) October, 1997: I could not find the Quartz/occult directory November, 1997: It appears that all files dealing with the ToS have been removed from this site because of their age. 7.6 Those Stories About Us Despite our general policy of keeping a low profile, sometimes rumors about us do get spread, generally by people who dislike or fear us for some reason (perhaps because so little is known about us, or simply because of our non-Christian belief system, or for other reasons). If anyone (perhaps someone else at a location of one of our formal meetings, or someone you meet on the 'net, or some other acquaintance) should ask you any of the following questions, it's good to be able to give them the correct answers. 7.6.1 A Cult? "Is this a cult?" No. Some people may define "cult" to mean any non-Christian religion, and then yes, we don't believe in the Christian religion. But most people reserve the word "cult" to you mean something dangerous to society or its members, and no, we're not a cult since we are beneficial to our members, and we're not anti-social by any means. The REF document contains more discussion on this topic. 7.6.2 Satanists? "Are you Satanists?" A lot of people say yes, and a lot of people say no. A lot of Setians say yes, and a lot of Setians say no. See the REF document for this discussion. 7.6.3 Naziism and Fascism Are you fascists? Nazis? No. See http://www.bigfoot.com/~balanone/nazitrap.html or http://www.necronomi.com/magic/satanism/fascist.set.txt for one member's discussion of this question [as of July 6, 1998, the necronomi.com copy was not found online]. 7.6.4 Presidio What about the Presidio stories? On August 14, 1987 CE the San Francisco home of Lilith and Dr. Aquino was raided by San Francisco Police officer Glen Pamfiloff on a search warrant obtained as a consequence of the accusations of Army chaplain Lawrence Adams-Thompson that the Aquinos had kidnapped and sexually abused his stepdaughter as part of the Presidio of San Francisco day-care witch-hunt. These claims were investigated in depth by the SFPD, the FBI, and the US Army CID. No charges were ever made in any jurisdiction, and the evidence has shown Dr. Aquino and Lilith Aquino to be innocent of any such activity. Full details can be read in the alt.pagan post, dated Sun Jun 02, 22:14, From : scratch@gladstone.uoregon.edu, Subj : Re: Curio courts the CAW. 7.6.5 Other Occultists - Why should Wiccans, Druids, and other types of Pagans defend those who call themselves "Satanists" against the Christian majority? I've never understood why Wiccans, Druids, and others might think we want their defending. There are ethical and social reasons to do it, and that's why Setians generally defend other Pagans against discrimination and other forms of attack, but Satanists don't need others to defend them Satanists would be happy if other Pagans would simply stop buying Christianity's lies and attacking the Satanists as if allied with Christianity's blind bigots. There's a little more discussion of this in the REF document. - "Are you witches?" That depends upon your definition of a "witch." We do explore activities which many people would call "magic," such as telepathy, divination, and methods of strengthening our souls and spirits through mental and spiritual discipline. However, modern witches usually believe that their magical powers come from one or more gods or goddesses, and many Christians believe these powers come from the devil. We don't believe in any such gods or goddesses or devils. Most modern witches claim we are not witches. - Perhaps the most important point to know and remember about us is that we believe a primary requirement of self-improvement and individual Xeper is to be honorable and ethical. We do not tolerate any illegal activity. We do not tolerate any illegal drugs, and we frown upon excessive use of legal substances like tobacco and alcohol. We believe in individual freedoms, and respect everyone else's desire to live life the way they want to, asking in exchange only the freedom to be able to live life the way we want to. We do enjoy companionship and camaraderie. At our various conclaves, many of us will gather in private rooms, local restaurants, and the hotel lobby, and we'll just talk for hours, about almost anything. Some of our people will even sometimes forget to go to sleep, being so wrapped up in talking to people they see only once or twice a year. We enjoy life, we enjoy growth, and we enjoy each other. If you spend time with Setians, you'll find that most of us smile a lot, honest smiles, reflecting the enjoyment we find in life. - What about Magda Graham?
