I have had variations of this same question "Why the Temple of Set? I have never answered in terms of atmosphere, services, convenience, or fun in all of which the Temple scores acceptable marks. Rather I say, "Because the Temple of Set is metaphysically correct, and all the other religions and atheisms are not.

Only the stupid or uneducated actually believe their myths. To the vast majority, atheism or agnosticism is the sensible option. All the profane religions, and the occult systems based upon their mythologies, are nothing more than propaganda devices for control of the masses. This is not just reality, but inevitability. It is also very simple and self-evident to any isolate consciousness awakened to itself.

Once the Setian realizes this, all other questions customarily embraced by religions, occultisms, or indeed human societies are understood to be mere arbitrary constructs and conventions: tools of convenience, control, manipulation. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness.

The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions. The Setian is originally, initially amoral: a being of pure intelligence and discretion.

The Temple of Set does argue for a high personal ethical standard, but this is based, as Plato understood, purely on a love of and dedication to virtue for its own sake - not on social or religious-ideological conditioning, threats, or enticements. Why, if this is so simple and self-evident, isn't every human being a Setian? You have to be smart enough to grasp these truths.

You have to be courageous enough to face them, with all of the universal responsibility that they require of you. That's "why the Temple of Set".

Why have you come to the Temple of Set? Presumably because: 1 You feel that there are metaphysical realities beyond the physical universe, and that this possibility is sufficiently important to you for you to investigate whether or not it is true.

Most of the world's conventional religions 8 prefer influence over their members from birth, so that they have the advantage of working with a "blank slate". Knowing nothing else, the child is indoctrinated into the religion, taught that it is the true and only answer to questions beyond tangible experience. If such indoctrination is strong enough, that religion will remain the metaphysical boundary for that individual for life.

Using the implied authority of its superior vantage-point, moreover, the religion will attempt to dictate ethical and moral codes for the individual, inculcating feelings for "rightness" and "wrongness" that will flow into his personal behavior and the social institutions he shares with others. The more primitive and closed the society, of course, the more effective and enduring such religious indoctrination will be.

But at various times and circumstances in history, such as the Greek Hellenistic and the Enlightenment eras, and in at least certain advanced cultures today, persons will eventually be exposed to other religions, and non-religions, 8 See Appendix 1.

The more inquisitive the individual concerning metaphysical truth, the more he may "shop" among such alternatives, looking for the one with the [most] right answers.

The Temple of Set not only does not indoctrinate anyone from birth, but it prefers to be at the end of an adult enquirer's "shopping list". The Setian religion is not something that either can or should be taken on faith, or in the controlled instruction of childhood, or as an antagonistic rebound from any other religion. To be apprehended, understood, and applied correctly, it must be approached only by individuals who have first examined and discarded as many alternatives as were available and of interest to them.

If any such alternative proved satisfying to an individual, that signals to the Temple of Set that he does not possess the extraordinary drive for metaphysical truth that is required for Setian initiation.

He will be content and fulfilled at the level he has chosen; were he to attempt Setian initiation, he would soon find it disturbing, stressful, and even frightening. A common feature of all conventional religions and Right-Hand Pathways generally is that they are, as they are designed and intended to be, vehicles of comfort and reassurance.

You are blessed, reborn, forgiven, and cleansed. When you die, you will be welcomed into a paradise of bliss and love. His initiation unfolds him into a god - a creator of universes, not their servant, pet, or otherwise- component. While still in physical incarnation, he distinguishes and distances himself ever further from the OU; upon his final separation from it he becomes fully, permanently, and immortally the font, source, primum movens of what was formerly his SU - and now his own OU.

This is a formidable, even terrifying anticipation for nonSetian intellects; their literature abounds with warnings of the dire fate and punishment awaiting those who, like Icarus, dare to approach, much less become gods themselves.

But to the Setian this Xeper, this full Coming Into Being, is the ultimate affirmation, manifestion, and fulfillment of one's conscious existence. Its culmination is implicit and foreordained in one's very first step into the Temple of Set.

So your suitability for Setian initiation hinges not only upon the importance of the above four questions to you, but also upon the assumption that you have indeed explored and exhausted as many simpler answers to them as possible. Because if you are indeed searching for something comforting to which you can surrender your doubts and fears, it is just a question of your settling upon the most pleasing metaphor.

The very last thing you want is the Temple of Set. But if, in your searching, you gradually come to discover that you are not looking for salvation at all - indeed that every additional invitation to it only increases this nameless, formless drive for self-affirmation within you - then the Temple of Set bids you welcome. Enter freely and of your own will.

The Temple of Set provides various publications and communications to present itself and its knowledge to you. At all times it it your responsibility not only to read and consider such information, but to judge it as it is intelligible and relevant to yourself. The importance of this responsibility cannot be overemphasized. The Temple is a vehicle to aid you in your personal initiation, so your comprehension, understanding, and evaluation of your own state of being are essential.

The Temple of Set is committed to the most direct and intelligible presentation of its philosophy possible. Every effort is made to define terms carefully, to avoid vagueness and logical fallacies, and to address important issues squarely. We emphasize this to a degree unmatched by conventional religion, by the "occult subculture", and indeed by most of the academic philosophical community. Even so we are beset by three continuing difficulties: 1 Our knowledge base is incomplete and in many cases insufficient to answer certain questions definitively.

In such situations we offer what seem to be the most promising theories and hypotheses, and encourage the open exchange of ideas towards the eventual truth. Since the Temple of Set is "open to the public" as a formal, legally-recognized religious institution, we must take appropriate care to retain the respect and tolerance of the community in which we exist.

So, while we must and will not shrink from asserting truth as we discover it, we also attempt to do so publicly in ways that will be understandable to that public, and in support only of constructive, non-harmful applications by it.

Houses that kill. Category 6: Satanism as of February 26, Satanism is the Blackest of the Black Arts and until the North Solstice X encompassed the most advanced - and the most dangerous - school of religion and magical knowledge.

Because its doctrines are intensely personal, hence asocial, conventional societies have tended to regard it as a threat to the docile, cooperative obedience of the citizenry. This bias against Satanism as something necessarily criminal will be evident in some of the following accounts, and it frequently resulted in persecution that drove Satanists even farther from the social mainstream.
