e ocean of the universal subconscious has tide currents of its own. when the tide is coming in the cycle is one of restriction and when the tide is going out the cycle is one of expansion. the number and frequency of aeonic words is greater near the start of a cycle because of the change in the current from one of restriction to one of expansion. it is for this reason that the aeon of horus, aeon of set, and aeon of lucifer have followed so quickly one upon another. all of these aeons have the same theme and are part of the cycle of expansion which began in 1904 ce. the difference is that each aeon builds upon the previous aeons. we may see the creation of a new aeon within the next decade but eventually the current of the cycle will be entirely one of expansion no longer affected by the p

hat s what it is all about [10, p. 234] the church of satan generally uses satan as a symbol of man s nature as that of any other animal, and rejects the belief in satan as an anthropomorphic being. some of anton lavey s closer associates, however, seem to have been told a different story. for example, michael aquino, who resigned from the church of satan and formed a new organization, the temple of set in 1975, explains that the belief in a literal devil: was axiomatic to all of our [aquino s and lavey s] conversations and collaborations [11] and blanche barton explained to the san francisco chronicle at a press conference following anton lavey s death in 1997 that anton lavey had believed in the devil [12. in an article in the occult explosion anton lavey had acknowledged that: many memb

dubious reasons of sudden disagreement with the church of satan or its founder. 8. the 1975 turning point it is possible that the church of satan started as a genuine organization dedicated to the prince of darkness, but then deviated from its course and focused on perpetuating its professed alliance with the devil only as a conduit for fraud. this is the view held by michael aquino of the temple of set. the fact that the church of satan was originally a home study group indicates that at the very least it was originally an ideological movement. michael aquino describes how the church of satan ostensibly later turned its back on satan, 1975 being the year where the church of satan decided to sell priesthood titles at a fee followed by increasing charges for services and baphomet medallions

aphomet medallions; baphomet medallions previously sold at $20 already with a comparatively high profit of $17 were now sold at $50 a piece [2, p. 420. according to michael aquino, the church of satan practically ceased to exist as a religious organization by 1975, largely withdrawing from the public scene until the late 1980es when peter gilmore entered the scene after double-courting the temple of set and the church of satan (this double-courting illustrates that peter gilmore used two-faced policies from the very beginning of his career in satanism) michael aquino argues that anton lavey had lost interest in satanism and instead attempted to turn the organization into his personal cash cow, and that the organization s continued activities were a financial scam. michael aquino shows evid

ng beast transformation into the crocodile-god from the egyptian book of the dead set is considered in the developing luciferian gnosis as the adversary, an early form of the adversary. the crocodile god sebak in the egyptian book of the dead draws some aspects similar in nature to set, such as the forms he would take. seemingly, it is considered by the initiatory focus into the symbol and traits of set, verily the greatest of the gods embodied many different aspects and forms in egyptian mythology. seker seems to also be a god associated with the early manifestation of set, in the tuat, one of the tunnels which were under the control of seker were guarded by a serpent with four legs, scorpions, vipers and other winged demons. the arabic word tawfan according to e.a. wallis budge may hold

its long and was said to grow strong from devouring the souls of the dead who were there. there is also a mention of a serpent called akriu who was also an enemy of ra as well. there was a place of fire in the tuat as well, where there was a lord in the form of a giant serpent who held the power of the evil eye. this serpent would seduce his prey and then devour their spirits. know that the forms of set are many, the god of darkness and war is also a creative god of progression and shape shifting. he survives by transformation. the path of sorcerous arte known as luciferian witchcraft, is perhaps becoming a clearer subject under the sethian concept of the adversary as a dual and necessary force. just as chaos magick is a development of primal sorcery, without limitations, the luciferian pa

rcery entails. a study of the janus-headed adversary is essential in the context of the sabbatic/luciferian path as well as others. in the brotherhood of saturn the god of the saturnian sphere is baphomet temohpab, being a angel-demon of both a positive and negative side. in azothoz, lucifer is the baphometic spirit which presents in lyrical prose the sides of the adversary, in terms of sethanic (of set) witchcraft and the left hand path. set is presented in azothoz as the egyptian godform of chaos, darkness and storms. he is in this sigillic mask the initiator and tester, the opposer and flame giver. it is indeed the mask of set which was given unto his bride, lilith, to spawn cain, the first sorcerer and initiator of witchblood. as written in azothoz- lilith came unto the prince of darkn

source of strength, and in early paintings he is portrayed as bearer of a harpoon at the prow of the boat of ra, warding off the serpent apep. yet the warlike and resolute nature of set seems to have been regarded with ambivalence in egyptian theology, and the portrayal of this neter went through many changes over a period of nearly three thousand years. pictures of a god bearing two heads, that of set and his daylight brother horus the elder, may be compared to the oriental yin/yang symbol as a representation of the union of polarities. in time, the conflict between these two abstract principles came to be emphasized rather than their primal union. set's battle with horus the elder grew from being a statement of the duality of day and night into an expression of the political conflict am

good and evil after egypt expelled the hyskos in the 18th dynasty. some say the hyskos were asiatic invaders, and others say they were an indigenous minority that seized control of the nation. this tribe ruled egypt for a time and happened to favor the set cult, seeing a resemblence to a storm-god of their own pantheon. the set cult never recovered from this identification with the hyskos. mages of set were destroyed or defaced. by the time greek historians visited egypt, wild asses, pigs, and other beasts identified with the set cult were driven off cliffs, hacked into pieces or otherwise slaughtered at annual celebrations in a spirit akin to the driving out of the biblical scapegoat. the report of these historians is often thought to be a valid account of a a timeless and immutable theo

al celebrations in a spirit akin to the driving out of the biblical scapegoat. the report of these historians is often thought to be a valid account of a a timeless and immutable theocracy, but just looking at the frequency with which the ruling capital moved to different cities (each being a cult-center) is enough to dispel this idea. one controversial egyptologist has suggested that the worship of set might have predated the concept of paternity. later cults incorporating a father god would reject this fatherless son. this introduces another bizarre factor in the transformation of the night/day battle between brothers into an inheritance dispute between set and horus the younger. any book on egyptian myth you pick up contains the gory details of this cosmic lawsuit, which includes things

supports the latter meaning directly. te velde suggests that the egyptian theologian would have agreed with the first meaning as it goes hand in hand with set's mythological function. in the coffin texts (of the middle kingdom) the first meaning might have been avoided by substituting the set-animal by a sign that means 'to separate. this sign later fell into disuse, but te velde says the meaning of set as 'the god set apart' or 'the god who separates' was carried on "the seth-animal functions as a determinative for words indicating concepts divergent from the normal order, which to the egyptian mind was given by gods and is guarded by them, and it has a negative meaning (p. 24) in gods of the egyptians (part ii: p. 244) budge puts it that set was generally thought to be the cause of every

beginning of confusion. set caused disorder even before his name existed, and disturbed the regular processes of creation [as reflected in his allegedly disorderly birth; plutarch "not in due season or manner, but with a blow he broke through his mother's side and leapt forth] te velde observes that this is in keeping with set's unpredictable and violent nature. while discussing the significance of set's testicles he comes to a like- minded opinion "the testicles of set represent the savage, elementary, yet undifferentiated urges" he seeks to establish that set was a sort of inevitable disorder in order, whose myths render possible experiencing unacceptable things within fixed bounds. set would thus be a"'spirit of disorder. the lord of unbridled forces in nature and in civilization (p. 5

cultism began to focus seriously on archaeological data coming from egypt. particularly important highlights were the publication of the rite of the headless one, in which the deity transforms himself into has certain typhonic names. aleister crowley s success with that invocation in april 8, 9 and 10 of 1904, wherein part of his revelation consisted of the audible word coph(rr- which is the word of set. april 30, 1966 when anton szandor lavey founded the church of satan and began a magical exploration of the psychological factors of the christian satan. 1972, when anton lavey published the satanic rituals, which included die elektrischen vorspiele, which was privately known as the rite of the is-to-be. this text, based on the eighth precept of the emerald tablet of hermes use your mind to

son, comprised the egyptian trinity he was represented as horus s brother, because set stood for the opposing forces of evil and darkness. set was jealous of osiris s power and sought to seize the throne from him. in ensuing struggle, osiris was dismembered, leaving horus to oppose his evil brother/uncle. in the war between the two that ensued, horus and the forces of good prevailed. in the story of set s insurrection can be seen a parallel with the hebrew tradition of lucifer s rebellion, his defeat by michael and the angels, and his subsequent expulsion from heaven. set, therefore, is clearly an early forerunner of christianity s and islam s irreconcilably and absolutely evil satan. the temple of set maintains, however, that regardless of how evil set may be portrayed, his essential func

she preformed one of the most scandalous acts available to a woman- she acted as a man. this early feminist clearly found set, a great archetype to work with. set was popular among her family until the kingship of akhenaton (may he be reborn forever drowning in the jaws of sobek the crocodile god. the very militaristic pharaohs of the nineteenth dynasty, who were probably descended form a family of set priests at tanis, delighted in set both in his militaristic role and as god of foreign places. ramses ii for example called himself the son of set. the set cult too was very popular with foreigners coming to live in egypt. his worship has always been connected with the outsider. the twentieth dynasty began by looking very favorably on this god, as is shown in the name of its founder setnakt

herefore it was necessary for the well-being of the former that copies of spells against them should be written upon the walls of tombs, coffins, funerary amulets, etc. the gods were just as open to the attacks of venomous reptiles as man, and ra, himself, the king of the gods, nearly died from the poison of a snake-bite. now the gods were, as a rule, able to defend themselves against the attacks of set and his fiends, and the poisonous snakes and insects which were their emissaries, by virtue of the fluid of life, which was the peculiar attribute of divinity, and the efforts of egyptians were directed to the acquisition of a portion of this magical power, which would protect their souls and bodies and their houses and cattle, and other property, each day and each night throughout the year

d from ancient egypt. i feel that the egyptian cults were too severe and respectable to go in for the blood practices used by africans. i think pythagoras, who is generally credited with bringing the mysteries to greece, was not the sort of man who would have had anything to do with blood sacrifices or other objectionable practices. but it is conceivable that there were two sects, the worshippers of set, as well as those of osiris, who crept in with the plea 'there is a short cut; if you cannot work magic properly, you can gain power this way' the writings of witches speak with horror of the practice of sorcerers using blood to gain power. but the evil knowledge may have kept pace with the good and may account for some of the statements against the cult which i am still inclined to think w
