self consciousness, i.e, the uniquely human ability to sense its separateness within the body even while it resides within it. this heightened sense of self being, itself the result of polaric constituents- its me, in this other thing called a body- becomes a building block of a personal methodology based upon knowledge, intuition, learning and change as a result of the preceding. the results of xeper are manifestations into the world of ideas, art, science and culture. for the individual the results of xeper become a metaphysical departure point for developing a bond with the prince of darkness by creating a matrix of linked ideas whose path leads towards the genesis of self being. you'll find another comment or two concerning xeper in the ref document. 2.2 initiation- what do those neck

e prince of darkness by creating a matrix of linked ideas whose path leads towards the genesis of self being. you'll find another comment or two concerning xeper in the ref document. 2.2 initiation- what do those necklaces and medallions mean? the temple of set is an initiatory organization, dedicated to the initiation and growth of its members. that dedication to initiation, to the philosophy of xeper, and to set, is represented by our primary symbol, the pentagram of set (a point-down pentagram within a circle. to help our members identify each other so we can work together, and to help them identify which level of initiation has been achieved by each other, we wear this symbol on different colored medallions, normally worn on necklaces of some kind, at formal gatherings. there are six l

own work towards initiation- following from our choice to avoid all practices that would create a barrier between us and our self-created divinity, the setian can not in good faith hold membership in any other religious organization after he has become an adept. membership in organizations that advocate illegal action are likewise incompatible with setian affiliation. one cannot be for one's own xeper, and be working to restrict the xeper of another- the application and its approval. though some applications are approved and acted upon quickly, other applications for membership in the temple of set seem to take a very long time. our "staff" are all volunteers, and their administrative activities within the temple of set are given appropriate priorities *behind* personal initiation, family

s a lesson in patience, and enjoy the anticipation- my answer was: it's highly variable, depending on how busy our volunteer executive director is, and how busy her staff is, and how much difficulty she has finding an available priest for the interview process. then the question becomes how busy that priest is, whether he has email capabilities, etc. you can send a quick email to her at balfaq.ed@xeper.org and verify that she at least received your letter of application- lewis cawthorne asked on xepera-l, date: fri, 18 dec 1998, subject: tos& recognition not to put the cart before the horse, but i do have one minor concern, how would an initiate in a small town in north carolina with some resources at his disposal for traveling to other places for contact with other setians but probably wi

have to take responsibility for maintaining correspondences, for establishing new ones to replace old ones that move on, and for demonstrating to the priesthood his level of knowledge, his activity and study, and his advancement, along setian lines. it's a job. it's not easy. magister l. was the only setian in finland, and he had to work to overcome the difficulties inherent in demonstrating his xeper into the ii. magister w. faced the same challenges in germany some years earlier. magister k and magister a in the british isles had it almost as bad, but at least english was their native language (though they had to deal with many curve balls tossed by our writing most setian materials in american english rather than british english. it's not easy, as priestess n, adept b, priest c, adept

efore attempting a crossing to the east. ramses iii is a significant figure among setian emperors, because he is described in the great harris papyrus as xu thenru ast ast a ari-f em suten (translated as "he did many glorious things and mighty deeds as high priest. this phrase was incorporated in the book of coming forth by night to describe anton la vey, and providing a hidden link to the xepera xeper xeperu formula. the spell is not intended for illustrative purposes, although it does illustrate the myth of creation. it was an operative spell for survival across the expanse of the desert. this is an interesting moment. you are leaving behind the known and are entering the unknown. the known is the divine land of khem, before you the unknown desert with its mirages, bandits, scorpions, sa

magic. as stated in the preface to the 2nd edition, the demonic bible is not a work of fiction but is rather the foundation of what is now known as deitic magic. the roots of deitic magic lie in thelemic (as practiced by the o.t.o./a.a) and setian magic (from the church of satan/temple of set tradition, but is also heavily influenced by the septenary system of the o.n.a. it is only by thelema and xeper that one can attain deitus. an understanding of thelemic and setian philosophy is therefore necessary for an understanding of many of the concepts presented in the demonic bible. this thesis will address thelemic and setian philosophy as it relates to an understanding of deitus. let us begin, then, by considering the basic precepts of satanic belief. the start of satanic enlightenment is the

itself and immediate gratification of its needs. a man, however, considers his role within a society and satisfies his needs through the setting of long term goals. the aeon of lucifer is a new aeon, the third aeon in the present cycle of expansion. it builds upon the two previous aeons and shares a common theme with all other aeons of the current cycle of expansion. the law of the aeon, thelema, xeper, deitus or will to come into being as a god incorporates the words of the two previous aeons with the word of the current aeon and forms a single statement identifying man s purpose in this aeon. the word deitus completes an unholy trinity: the will, the expansion of consciousness, and personal divinity. to understand the law of the aeon means to reject any supra-personal deity and recognize

rs, we cause more hurt than by simply acting upon our will and not worrying about the consequences to others. love is the law, love under will. it is the nature of man to love and to seek union with another. when the will of two beings are joined in love, it is as two stars forming a binary system. by will, love is purified and then there is rapture in the heavens. the word of the aeon of set was xeper. this word means to become or to come into being. it refers to the continual expansion of consciousness to new levels of awareness and understanding. xeper is continuous and extends through all cycles of expansion. the dialectic method of thesis/ antithesis/ synthesis is the process through which xeper occurs. at any moment, a person manifests the synthesis of all that he has experienced pre

standing. with the expansion of one s consciousness to new limits, the horizon of his understanding changes accordingly. runa remains constant since it is always the unknowable and never the known. the word remanifest, another aeon-enhancing word spoken during the aeon of set, signified the synthesis of all previous knowledge and experience, the final stage of the dialectic method. the expression xeper and remanifest was often used by members of the temple of set. from what i have said previously, this should be clear. at any point, an individual (re)manifests the synthesis of all that he has experienced previously. thus, remanifest is also a constant since it is always the immediate and never what has been or what will be. in the aeon of lucifer i make a brief reference to xem, stating th

lly, to be. or, in another context, it means i am or i have become. while it was meant to be an aeon-enhancing word, it actually had the potential to end the aeon of set prematurely and even possibly bypass the aeon of lucifer to the next aeon which will follow. there was some dispute within the temple of set as to the validity of the word xem since i am seemed to contradict the word of the aeon, xeper or come into being. eventually, the temple of set dropped its support of the word xem. xeper takes on a greater significance when united with thelema. the meaning is no longer simply to become, but rather will to become. together, it refers to the application of the magical will to the process of expansion of consciousness. it is through the application of the magical will that the process o

areness? is it simply to expand indefinitely without end? is there not a goal or a destiny for which man should strive? having an objective in mind does not nullify the significance of the journey but, rather, makes it all the more meaningful. and when that goal is attained, there is still runa, that which is beyond the limits of understanding and therefore new goals to be set. the words thelema, xeper, deitus, when taken together, refer to the application of the magician s magical will to the process of expansion of consciousness with the ultimate aim to remanifest as a god, when the magician can finally say, xem, deitus, or i am god. then a new aeon will begin, a new word will be spoken, and a new law dictated. i have said, the word of the aeon is deitus for man has become god, lucifer h

DEMONIC BIBLE

ical breakdown with reality. this is not a work of fiction but rather the foundation of what is now known as deitic magic. the roots of deitic magic lie in thelemic (as practiced by the o.t.o./a.a) and setian magic (from the church of satan/temple of set tradition, but it is also heavily influenced by the septenary system of the o.n.a. magus tsirk susej says plainly that it is only by thelema and xeper that one can attain deitus. an understanding of thelemic and setian philosophy will certainly aid in understanding some of the concepts presented in this book. since the system of magic presented in the demonic bible is a dynamically evolving one (with its own xeper, it is only fitting that we present an updated version of this text. here then, once again, is the demonic bible. preface to th

ess is an indication of satanic might and therefore the individuals in question deserved the titles regardless of their knowledge or previous commitment. michael aquino, claiming to be in contact with satan (in the ancient egyptian form of set, wrote the book of the coming forth by night in which he declared the start of the aeon of set, a succession to the aeon of horus. the word of the aeon was xeper, an egyptian word which means to become or to come into being. the egyptian god xepera was associated with the scarab beetle and was the god of expansion of consciousness. michael aquino claimed to be the second beast from the book of the revelation of jesus to st. john the apostle and the spiritual son of aleister crowley described in the book of the law. in contrast to the church of satan

established the embassy of lucifer as the vehicle for the aeon of lucifer and the word deitus. for six months he carried out in earnest the task of the magus, presenting the word deitus to the satanic world. the demonic bible and other documents of the embassy of lucifer were published freely on the internet, not for profit or prestige but simply to advance the aeon of lucifer. the words thelema, xeper, deitus were used together in order to emphasize to satanists that they must will to come into being as gods! and that only through thelema and xeper can deitus be understood. while the embassy of lucifer enjoyed great success during the short time it was active on the internet, magus susej felt that most people were simply not ready to accept deitus since the aeon of lucifer followed so qui

timately served as a vehicle for the advancement of thelema. every other tract written by that prestigious organization on the subject of yoga, the cabala, or the tarot pales before that which was written concerning thelema. the eol, similarly, has many goals but its central role is to promote the word deitus. the word of the aeon is deitus (as in a deity or a god. the law of the aeon is thelema, xeper, deitus( will to come into being as a god. this is the aeon of lucifer. lucifer has risen man has become god. the embassy of lucifer is the vehicle for the message of the new aeon. the magical art in the course of a man's life, there are moments of clarity and there are moments of darkness. at his mental peak, he experiences great clarity of thought and profound realization. and at his low

LEWIS JAMES SATANISM TODAY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION FOLKLORE AND POPULAR CULTURE

, in the late 1980s he was investigated by local, federal, and military agencies for supposedly sexually molesting a young girl at the army base in san francisco. an in-depth investigation showed him to be completely uninvolved with the day-care center on base or any of the children. the temple of set views itself as a philosophical organization, revolving around the ancient egyptian principle of xeper (which setians translate as self-improvement or self-creation, and the ideals represented by a modern understanding of set, perhaps the closest divinity the egyptians had to satan.many members of the temple believe that the individual does not automatically have an immortal self, but that he or she can, by certain practices, achieve immortality. thus, while xeper is related to contemporary n

or older brother. the core of the setian religion is individual self-development, which is the cornerstone of lhp initiatory groups. this is described by balanone, a long-time member of the temple, on his (unofficial) temple of set information site: the term left hand path suggests a philosophical orientation which feels that the individual is extremely important. the individual initiate pursuing xeper is more important than our society in general, any peer group, and any organization (including even the temple of set itself. responsible individualism and freedom are goals to which the organization lends its energies. the temple of set s ambivalence about the satanist label is reflected in balanone s remarks where he states that, if by satanism you mean the worship of a satan, or anti-chri

ON COMMUNICATION WITH SET

t as an average magician may write a talisman on a piece of parchment, set writes his talismans on certain hard-won human qualities such as courage, curiosity, determination, play, and creativity. just as the human magician uses his talisman to draw wealth or love into manifestation in the objective universe form the the unmanifest, which the profane call the future, set uses his talisman to draw xeper form the unmanifest. set's purpose does not require communication. his method for working in the objective universe is by providing an insight into the nature of personhood. this insight given through the medium of his aeon is fourfold. firstly there is the observable fact of the xeper of setians. this takes years to see, but when you've seen former street people getting their ph.d.s or aver

ces of inspiration to those that come after us. thus our biographies are set's talismans. secondly there is the observable fact of the genius of your own creation. there are moments when you exerted will and became what you are now (will is the process of choosing between two or more desires. you draw inspiration for future adventures based on knowledge of your past states. this process is called xeper "i have come into being" desiring more of such knowledge the self is impelled to start new tasks. this is the source of further will, and defines the object of that will. thirdly there is the observable fact that others have used the powers of magic through out history, and gained a victory over evil (let us recall that for the setian evil= stupidity. by study of their methods and results we

story, and gained a victory over evil (let us recall that for the setian evil= stupidity. by study of their methods and results we can obtain knowledge of the nature of set, and of *ourselves* for we are the products of such magic. fourthly there is the observable fact of the magic of the aeon, which is that when sincere intelligent people get together to discuss the ideas that feed or are fed by xeper, the general level of brilliance goes up. that there is in fact a "quickening" of the minds involved as they benefit not only from their hard work and the thought-provoking ideas of their fellows, but actually form an otherwise hidden force. these methods of communication with the prince of darkness are much more profund and subtle than what may be experienced in the emotional aspects of the

badly in life as to end up behind bars. in the early days of the on, the temple was still a rather small,cozy environment. almost all setians had met each other and it was relatively easy to keep one's eyes open for any psychic disorders or initiatory quandaries.even in that more easily monitored temple of the past, certain initiatesexploded, slowing down the rate of the setian mission to export xeper to human minds. now that the temple is in a cycle of growing exponentially on every continent, the need for a tougher review of those perfect strangers who come to our doors seeking initiation becomes a necessity. the priesthood takes on a new responsibility. we must actively become guardians of the precious black flame that set has mandated us to preserve.we do so by taking a few hours of o

ed your responsibility. if you do have a bad feeling about someone don't let them down then and there. tell them you'll let them know by telephone, postor email. this will avoid a dramatic scene of no use to either of you. evenin those cases that seem positive some suspense and expectation is not magically harmful. as the setian's driving core purpose in all things should be to actualize your own xeper, never do this out of a sense of dutiful obligation. in theright frame of mind, these encounters can help refine your own ideas about setianism. you may very well learn something unexpected from the candidate. i've very often heard a novel approach or a radical new idea that took root later in my own work. these strangers may be taking the first stumbling step to immortality and godhood. hon

or fairly obvious reasons. those that require balance are opposites in which approaching the absolutes can be harmful or dangerous, and the order's initiates will strive to maintain balance in these areas. an obvious example of opposites requiring balance is abstinence and gluttony. we still feel this is a useful tool for cataloging opposites, and one which can be very applicable to an initiate's xeper and/or quest, but we do not currently use this classification as the major division. indeed, we have identified several pairs of opposites for which neither balance nor opposition are required. we therefore code each set of opposites with a letter indicating its opposition class "b" for those requiring balance "o" for those requiring opposition "n" for those requiring neither, and" for those

but we believe the number of measurement points to be finite, if large and unknown. hierarchy only that which lives can be conscious, and therefore this set of opposites is of lower order than life. opposition consciousness is preferable over unconsciousness. many setians have adopted the ouspenskian term "awake" to indicate the conscious state. hierarchy an earlier draft of this hierarchy placed xeper and its opposite here, subsidiary to consciousness and unconsciousness. the lack of a name for xeper's opposite brought suggestions of "stasis" as that opposite from dr. aquino and magus flowers. magus flowers' discussion stated "in greek there is a perfect set of opposites for this: dynamis (which is also a normal word used for magical power) and stasis" he proposed that xeper and dynamis w

iculty in defining the opposite direction. we have no good term for the opposite of xeper. setians often use the terms "mutate" or "mutation" to signify the reverse of xeper. since xeper is a positive change in one's being "degeneration" is another term often used. the order of shuti is not satisfied with either of these, and welcomes suggestions. polarity this is a bipolar set of opposites. both xeper and its opposite are active changes, often willful or at least intentional; they are simply changes in opposite directions. hierarchy initiation is a process brought about when xeper is directed by wisdom. it is a form of xeper, and that is why we place initiation/mundanity here in the hierarchy. hierarchy only that which at least from time to time evidences consciousness can ever exhibit wi

SYMBOLISM

ages remain hidden except for those who can perceive and understand them. on the other side of the scale, if our writings are read by someone totally unfamiliar with occult symbolism, then the message can be totally lost, and the reader may never see it. symbolism can be visual (examples are the pentagram of set, pictures of the egyptian neters, etc, and verbal (the closing we use on our letters "xeper and remanifest, is a statement and reminder of our dedication to this formula, a way of developing and keeping the habit of xeper and remanifestation going strong. each word itself is a symbol (xeper, indulgence, thelema, etc, as is each neter (shu, tefnut, sekhmet, bast. a lot of principles can be used as symbols which have more meaning to the initiated than they do to those who just read a

tten, spoken, or communicated through one or more other senses. 1565 based on the idea that a single symbol can have a whole galaxy of meaning, a useful communications skill is the ability to use symbols in the proper places, in the proper ways, to communicate more meaning in a smaller package (with fewer words. perhaps of greatest importance within the temple of set are the magical aeonic words: xeper, remanifestation, and xem, and the preceding words of indulgence and thelema. by using these words in writing or other forms of communication, we communicate the meanings associated with those words. if i say the word "xeper" to an initiate, it means something totally different than it would mean to someone off the street, and it means something totally different to a setian than it would me

ings associated with those words. if i say the word "xeper" to an initiate, it means something totally different than it would mean to someone off the street, and it means something totally different to a setian than it would mean to an egyptologist who /thinks/ he knows the egyptian god xepera. our use of the word is quite different and the symbol carries so much more meaning than just the word "xeper" would carry in a modern egyptian dictionary. this use of symbolism doesn't apply just to magical words or formulae, but applies to symbols of many different kinds, in many different uses. you'll sometimes find certain words capitalized in text, as are "words" and "formulae" above. when not overly used, this is a clear indication that the author wishes you to view these words with their symb

n people (singular or multiple) in certain ways. the magician (or politician or religious leader or arts director or other manipulator) will use lighting, music, fragrance, and other symbols in ways particular to their audience's response to the symbols. symbolism can be used upon ourselves in a similar manner, to bring out responses from us that we want to bring out, as in ritual or as an aid to xeper. words which have become symbols to us can be used as a means of increased concentration, as a visual mantra or as a sensual mantra. such mantras can be used in ritual, in nonritual meditation, or whenever we choose to remind ourselves of the principles carried within that symbol. over time, some symbols can become richer and can carry more and more meaning to those people who work with the

ings, and through the course of the communication this symbol can almost hold or reflect an entire world view. this is the way the people influenced by the symbol see their world. at a political rally the symbol might be "america "democracy, or "the party (citizens of other countries may substitute those symbols meaningful in your domain. to some, the symbol might be "the environment. the symbol "xeper" has a similar impact within the setian culture. group consensus is important for communication through symbols. different groups can have differing uses of symbols, and attempts to communicate between these groups using the symbols particular to one group (or those symbols which are viewed differently by different groups) can result in confusion or worse. because setians come from such dive

TECHNICIANS GUIDE TO THE LEFT HAND PATH

ion is of little significance, either way it is a tool for placing the experiences of the subjective and objective universes of man into a model activity that can be emulated. taken to its extreme limits, it is an advanced initiatory approach towards obtaining expanded levels of consciousness. the dynamic potential of self individuation through the left hand path is reflected by the egyptian word xeper (pronounced keh-fer. this can be understood in many integrated ways, but for the focus of personal initiation, xeper will be dealt with as a process. it is this process- if willfully enacted- that results in the initiation of the individual. immediately, we are faced with the question what is initiation? from the standpoint of the xeper process it can be most easily be described as a separat

object within focus of that lense will be impacted every time the relationship of these elements is readjusted and synchronized. it is a shaping and reshaping of the psychological constructs we each use to create our reality. it is a form of meta-cognitive shape shifting. as one useful paradigm is functionally depleted another is created to take its place (the lenses is readjusted. the purpose of xeper therefore is to see more, and by this vision clearly see what can be, and then do what needs to be done. from the outset is vital to understand that the left hand path is represented by a diversity of ideas. these divergent ideas are bound together by their intent to create changes within the individual. the variance of ideas is a development that has occurred over time, a deviation largely

extension of the idea into human consciousness that stands. the gloss it is covered within is a question of time, psychological disposition, genetics, culture, religious indoctrination and heritage. understanding is an art as much as it is a process. as long as culture, its myths, history can be understood to contain a means to transmit and inscribe vital principles, it can aid in the process of xeper. once the culture, religion, myths, or social constructs become more idealized than the principles of transformation they may be housing, the efficacy of the principles will be subverted. a word to the aware should be sufficient in this regard. it is easy to spot those who have hit this wall where tools build only more of the same kind of tools and are never used to create something new. it

this silence each must listen to the voice of their heart; not because of dogmatism and rote, but due to personal discovery and revelation. this is important to understand for there is no expectation other than to believe what one personally experiences both subjectively and objectively for the antinomian. this includes the freedom to dissent from the lhp itself in order to follow ones own ideas. xeper can never be regulated or packaged as a system for attainment, however xeper finds its best tools for the continuous personal evolution and self-deification within the lhp of the post modern setian mysteries. it is the challenge for the individual to explore and discover which tactic suits their personal needs. however, given this broad characterization of approach, a certain tension is crea
