Happy Yuletide everyone :)

A year ago, I said that this would be my first Yule with Satan. That same day, HP Cobra answered me, and that gave me a feeling of relief and that I was being embraced. Today, I'm on my second Yule. It's been a difficult year, I've failed many times, but I've also learned a lot and it's changed me. I am where I belong, where Satan brought me and I will never stop being grateful for the opportunity to fight alongside him.

I like your mindset brother, you understand that sometimes we fail but we should keep going on and on.
May the Gods continue to bless you

I am deeply grateful to all the Gods, to JoS and I thank you, HP Cobra, for answering me that day. A simple message meant a lot to me.

A happy Yule to all, brothers and sisters! Great blessings to us!

Hail Satan!

Anyways Happy Yule but honestly holidays always feel sad and I hate celebrating holidays. Happy holidays and yet everyone is miserable it bothers me deeply that people feel these times as contemplation for negativity.

Anyways I leave this video from an AI made video there is no way this is by hand. The guitar can be played but I doubt it. it's Black Metal/Doom metal hybrid without vocals so no death screams.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAoS2YZUaQM

I know it's not Set it's Lilith but I'm sure the Gods would be pleased by this depiction the AIs really nail the Gods right.

I hope Set gets made into a AI video with the literal and allegorical properties.

I'd also like to know what the future holds in terms of warfare but we'll have to wait and see.

I get where you're coming from about the holidays but it really shouldn't be like that. What are your particular reasons for feeling that way? Our holidays are a joyous occasion, especially now that we're reclaiming our world.

As for the video, this metal is, in the words of the great Gylve Nagell: spastic, lame and weak. I'd add sad but that's a matter of taste so there's no point in discussing it really.

What provoked a reaction is the "artwork" which is anything but. I type a few lines of text and I become an artist? Please. The problem with the "artwork" is that it's blasphemous. Our Great Mother can take on any shape, form and appearance but her true form is a beauty that would be unfathomable to most humans. The depictions in the video are just plain ugly.

True horror and monstrosity has a human face. Our capacity for evil and good are beyond the average imagination. When you see what people can do (and some things cannot be unseen or even blocked out from memory) in real life as opposed to dramatisations on YouTube, then it becomes clearer. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not attacking you or anything, just voicing my revolt against blasphemous depictions of our Gods and disappointment in modern metal.

Happy Yule everyone.

What is the nature of the "darkness" that Set rules over? I have of course heard that darkness is light turned inside out but what exactly is the nature of this and its "role" while I of course don't doubt the necessity of it or the greatness and nobility of Set and I will do the power ritual regardless but I must admit I am ignorant of the "dark" if light is power and represents a higher vibrational frequency then what is dark and how does it tie into the nature of ourselves I would like to know more of this "noble element" as to be honest I have scanned the JoS and when it comes to darkness I seem to get a bit more confused and it seems an appropriate time to learn, is the darkness more akin to the more "physical" nature of our reality or is it something else entirely?
Hail Set!
Hail Satan!

I'm sorry I cannot answer what the nature of the darkness is...

But if I may just say the principle of Ying and Yang.

That the dark is necessary for the light to shine through.

I know that plants grow in the dark so without the balance of light and dark nothing would grow and we would cease to exist.

There always has to be polar opposites. So one cannot feel happiness if there was no sadness to make a comparison with.

I know I never answered your query. I think there is a technical answer that a book I have here has. But I don't have the time to research it. It's all about dark matter and black holes.
 
I wish everyone their happiest Yule! To HP Hooded Cobra, thank you so much for this ritual! I've long been waiting for it and it completes a set of 3 that I was desperate to have. Thank you very much!

It's wonderful. One of the best God rituals I've done so far. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Lord Sutekh's energy gave me focus and grounding like no ritual ever before, and I'm immensely grateful for his presence in my life.
 
Dear Master Cobra,

This is a beautiful ritual, thank you!

It would be nice if someone clarified which are the 144 laws mentioned in Seth's ritual.

Thanks again.

Greetings to everyone in our Spiritual Satanist family,

This year all of us have been blessed with a stronger, more formidable, more advanced, more ready Joy of Satan. It is very moving to observe all these developments we have been achieving as a community, together.

In this time of the year it's also very important to contemplate the notion of family. Sometimes, family is the people that are close to us, material family. That family can be good, very good, or even non present. Our duty as Satanists is to keep in mind the underlying value of all this life around us.

But also, the important family that we have is our spiritual family. That one is of value that transcends time itself. People that understand us, people that we develop with, people with whom we have a common vision. We must also not forget, that all of us are parts of the family of the Gods and Satan's family.

We grow in this family; family means protection, love, order, a knowledge in the secure element of our existence as we grow spiritually. Family here means blessings. You will see this reflected in the schedule. Family is also to where you can finally relax for a moment. Yes, the world constantly pushes us. But in the protection Satan's wings, there is place for us all.

So to everyone in the Spiritual Satanic family, all those who are new, all those who are doing their work to grow Spiritual Satanism, all those who contributed, even those who are not here now, I wish to you all the most beautiful holidays. Except of Yule cookies and other warm moments, it's important to do your best to approve in your hearts the warmth, love and protection of the Gods.

Below, I am posting a New Ritual, and a small schedule. This Ritual is about Lord Set, the King of Darkness. Set is known as one of the Sons of Father Satan. The reason on why this release happens after Amon Ra, is that Amon Ra is symbolic of the power of the light; Set is symbolic of the power of the darkness. Both are beautiful and essential for existence to continue, each power to it's own role. We in Spiritual Satanism, approve the nature of both, and we see the noble element in both of these powers.

May Set bring all of you close to Him in these holy days for Spiritual Satanism, where the "Largest Night" is approaching.

Of course, after this, Father Satan will be celebrated as every year, where we praise our beloved God for All that He is. Every next year, words fail me more and more to describe Satan's greatness and how this path helped me this year. The growth is too impressive to explain; maybe in the future I will explain more and more.

Yet, I feel like what matters to Father Satan, is that we bring in front of Him an alive, growing, powerful community - stronger every year. Spread to more Nations per year. With more wise people per year. With more beings who found out they have a soul, each next year.

I can only thank Satan, but how can I truly thank Him for all He has done? All the world could be given to Him and still it wouldn't be enough. While Father Satan requires nothing, He shows us the path of appreciation, giving, receiving, justice. All our works and efforts are therefore given in one word: Appreciation. We appreciate Father Satan and the Gods, and we must show this to them.

So to everyone here, I wish all of us a Happy Solstice, for this year, and for a thousand years. Be blessed family of the Gods.

Below is the Schedule.

Your miracles are always with me.

This is a poem I wrote for Lord Sitri. He has always helped me a lot. I am grateful to him with all my heart.

Throne

People would turn and stare at its splendor,
There was a throne in the middle of the sky, in his name,
The sword of darkness on one side and the scales of light on the other,
He used to relieve the most unbearable pain,
The brightest sun would rise in his name.

A yellow dawn was spreading across Sparta,
They were waiting for the dawn with the golden throne,
It was the manifestation of the brightest Sun.

I couldn't sleep before you,
I was thinking many things in my heart,
I was looking back at those tears,
Nobody was talking about why.

If the gates of the sky open,
If he enters on a white horse;
all the pain will go away,
All the horrors are blown away,
Quiet and calm as the rain,
Wise as the mountains.

All the while,
Hurry up, Homeros,
Hurry up, Herakles.

Because I saw eternity in your eyes,
Every day from sunrise to sunset.
 
The enemy is not really happy with all this rituals ongoing . This rituals are ending his reign on earth. Please brothers and sisters, inflame your self with the black flame always. This is a real battle. But by the grace of Satan we shall overcome.

Hail the old Gods!

Hail Satan!
 
In regards to 23 December Satan's Day, I am more than happy to perform Satan's Ritual, we really owe to Satan our survival on this planet.

This morning I could not stop thinking how big is Father Satan's responsibility, how big and noble is His effort to keep many worlds and many beings alive, healthy, enlighted and protected under His command and His Reign.
Hail to Father Satan, may His effort be an example to all of us, my deepest thanks to Father !
 
I have done it already i felt very powerfull i dont know how to describe it take almost 1 hour and half to do but worth every second. Hail Satan, hail sitri!
 
Glory to Father Satan on His day!

Happy Yule SS family!
 
i definitely appreciated Seeing this ritual Getting publicly available, Since i'm quite closely connected to the divine SET ... it appears i might have even been a priest of him, in one of my past lives, considering the visions i had and the things i have heard ... in the last week many things has been revealed to me,in a way that has never happend before, a very interesting period indeed, i'll just never be the same ^

Glory be to Satan It's Saturday 23rd December, HAIL SATAN! HAIL SATAN!! HAIL SATAN!!! Let us HAIL SATAN today and bless his Holy name. Let us hail him for the freedom he has given to us. " I am he whom men come with their rightful worship, not the false Gods of their books wrongly written." Glory, power and might be given to Satan forever and ever. Glory power and majesty be unto you O' lord of Thaumiel.
HAIL SATAN.
 
The God Set, is a most excellent and mystical Demon. I could feel his power an hour prior to doing his ritual. His ritual made me more open to the astral plane, and I almost astral projected after I was finished. I will do more of his ritual when I have the time. Thank you HP Hooded Cobra for your excellent work on making these rituals a reality!

Hail Set!
Hail Satan!

Hello, in josrituals.org was a wrong ritual, yesterday showed also Set's Ritual but in this topic is not wrote for a day 23 and I made it, I did wrong?
 
A short story of how the gods kept me from starting over:

About 2 years ago in May of 2021 the gods placed an impenetrable force field around me to save my life. I will never forget this and while I hesitate to write this from my words being misunderstood I also realize there is much to gain for members who are worried.

DO NOT GET COMPLACENT BECAUSE OF WHAT I WRITE HERE!!!!

You can be obsessive with your Aura of protection and even still there will arrive a day when the intervention of the gods will be necessary so long as we don't have fully Satanic communities with armed protection, and I do wait aggressively and impatiently for this day to come. I will never be able to repay them for this except in infinity.

I can't go into detail as I don't have all of the devil just yet. I had been losing sleep in the days coming up to this and I had felt like something was very wrong the whole day. Your AOP can alert you to threats.

I was going all out in my training and maxing out on abs and then going into backwards bends between sets in the sun which is my routine for firing up my solar plexus. I was also stating affirmations for protection while holding the backward bend. I always felt like Japans flag was symbolic of the tremendous expansion of the will. To bleed like a dying sun is most honorable, especially when one thinks their time is about to run out. When I was finished I decided to go take my dog to the dog park and when I came back I felt panicked. Something was seriously wrong and I had no clue what.

I felt as though someone was near the door so I went around to my kitchen to peak through the window to see if anyone was by the front door.

FORCE FIELD!

WTF?!?!?!??

What would be you first thought if you all of a sudden had a force field limit your movement? Mine was: "holy shit the enemy perfected force field technology and I am fucked".

I pushed against what felt like a gravity field with all of my might. Then I held one hand back and pushed with just my left arm as I was starting to lose balance fighting against the field.

A voice: "Calm down you are witnessing a miracle".

Me: "It would have been nice to now that first so I didn't panic.Why didn't you say so?"

Silence

I knew the answer and they knew that I knew the answer so nothing was said. If I had been told I would 100% went around out back to see what it is that was waiting for me out front. I can be too curious for my own good sometimes and it would have gotten me killed. The gods have given me more info since then and its something that I have to stay quiet about for now, but I'm also aware that it majorly backfired on the enemy.

Since then I do not worry anymore about my safety, but It almost feels though there is a certain edge that I am lacking by not feeling as though I am in danger reacting to it with intense do or die training. It was a turning point in my life and I will miss the days before.

It is not so much that I did not believe the gods are incapable of miracles, but more that I might not be deserving of one. I the mid 2000's the gods were much more "physically" present before an ex high priest gave the call toward spiritual warfare. There was much more interaction back in those days and I would witness them move things in my room, touch me, and communicate directly. It almost feel like a past life it was so long ago. I always felt the we had to deal with these sorts of issues ourselves and if it ever came down to it with shots being fired that I would be dead. They are dealing the with enemy ET on their level and we are dealing with the enemy here on earth on our own, or at least I thought that is how it was going to be. I'm glad I was wrong.
 
Thank you.

I forgot to thank you, I have to pull myself together.

It was a great ritual for Lord Set.
These rituals are getting better.
Thank you.

Hail SET!

Hail SATAN!
 
After doing Set's ritual, I felt a great mental healing and sense of clarity wash over me, which I severely needed during my absence. I also learned that Set is my guardian, which makes perfect sense considering he was always my favourite Egyptian God that I felt a strong attachment to ever since I was a small child <3

I think this refers to the 144000 Nadis of the soul.
 
Set is thought of in the mass consciousness as one of the most mysterious Gods, associated often with darkness, shadows, storms, and the desert. His enigmatic appearance is one of the most recognizable facets of Ancient Egyptian culture, and it is no exaggeration to say that Set is one of the most famous Gods known to humanity. Many across the ages have interpreted Him as the villain of the Egyptian pantheon, a perception resulting from misunderstanding.

As far as darkness and the storm are concerned, this God represents the plight and force of all beings in nature and the material realm, including the evil and ignorant sides of all beings. For this reason, Set was appointed as the eternal Guardian of the lesser humans and andrapoda subject to samsaric forces, as well as the stern and enigmatic arbiter of their general fate in the world. He was referred to in the Coffin Texts as ‘Outcast’ for this reason. For some, the symbolism of Set could represent potential reversion back to this state:

Ἑλληνικὸν γὰρ ἡ Ἶσίς ἐστι καὶ ὁ Τυφών, ὢν πολέμιος τῇ θεῷ καὶ δι᾿ ἄγνοιαν καὶ ἀπάτην τετυφωμένος καὶ διασπῶν καὶ ἀφανίζων τὸν ἱερὸν λόγον, ὃν ἡ θεὸς συνάγει καὶ συντίθησι καὶ παραδίδωσι τοῖς τελουμένοις, ὡς ἱερώσεως σώφρονι μὲν ἐνδελεχῶς διαίτῃ καὶ βρωμάτων πολλῶν καὶ ἀφροδισίων ἀποχαῖς κολουούσης4 τὸ ἀκόλαστον καὶ φιλήδονον, ἀθρύπτους δὲ καὶ στερρὰς ἐν ἱεροῖς λατρείας ἐθιζούσης ὑπομένειν, ὧν τέλος ἐστὶν ἡ τοῦ πρώτου καὶ κυρίου καὶ νοητοῦ γνῶσις, ὃν ἡ θεὸς παρακαλεῖ ζητεῖν παρ᾿ αὐτῇ καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτῆς ὄντα καὶ συνόντα.

For Isis is Greek, and Set—being Her adversary, puffed up by ignorance and deceit—tears apart and destroys the Holy Word, which the Goddess gathers, composes, and hands down to the initiates. By means of a prudent and continuous consecration—through abstention from many foods and from pleasure seeking, which puts limits on the lawless and pleasure-loving impulses—and by training [the initiates] to endure unbroken and resolute service in the sacred rites, its goal is the knowledge of the first, supreme, and intelligible, whom the Goddess exhorts [us] to seek from Her and with Her, for He is present and abides with Her.

Isis and Osiris, Plutarch

Somewhat paradoxically, Set also represented endings and the way out of ignorance by overcoming it, just as a travelling pilgrim of wisdom leaves the desert wastes and scorching heat. For those wishing to transcend problems they had created, Set was recommended for worship. Plutarch, a very high-level authority on religion, claims that in the Egyptian religion, Set and Nephthys were allegorically considered to be the children of Kronos, suggestive of Their relation to limitations and breaking them.

Many symbolic mythologies of punishment and harshness evolved around the entity. Set was known to be broken on the wheel, gored and half-emasculated by Horus, even cast down from the heavens. In comparison to Osiris, who suffers the fate of being cut into pieces, he remains whole or with some manhood intact amidst these gruesome punishments, showing on a poetic level that no use of the active faculty comes without pain and setback.

For the Egyptian state, Set was widely invoked and heavily represented around the frontier regions of Egypt, both in defense and as a symbol of what was fundamentally foreign and unknowable. References to Set as ‘valorous’ throughout the Egyptian corpus represent one dimension of how he was regarded as a war God. The consent of this deity to initiate combat was seen as an essential element of power projection and maintenance from outside threats. Symbolically, it can be painful and destructive to fight a war against others, yet sometimes it is a necessary step. The Pharaoh often used the imagery of this God in times of war and strife.

Enemies of the Gods were treated as personal adversaries, and the mantle of Set was brought against them. While warlike Pharaohs such as Peribsen, who took arms against foreigners, adopted Set as their patron deity in the past, Ramesses I and his son Seti I did so specifically to overturn the Atenist program of communism. In his grand effort to reshape Egypt with even greater ambition, the legendary and divine ruler Ramesses II, grandson of Seti, also took up the divine mandate of his ancestor, reversing every prerogative of ‘Akhenaten.’

1896_1_prv.jpg


The primary centers of worship for this God were the sanctuaries of Omnbos (also called Nubt) in Lower Egypt, around the town of Permedjad. Ten miles outside this town, the most important temple of all was built near Sepermeru, a town considered the ‘gateway to the Sahara’ and highly symbolic of Set. The high regard of Egyptians for Set is shown in the way they reference Him:

Set-Nubit, lord of the South land, great God, Lord of Heaven, fair Child of Ra. Giving praise to thy Ka, Set, the very valorous…
Click to expand...
Nubt inscription

Many of these sanctuaries were adorned with sacraments to Nephthys in proximity to Set. History records that Ramesses II contributed many hieratic monuments in this area for the glory of the infernal couple. Indeed, Set and his wife represent the formidable nature of the chaotic world of life and the contemplative realm of the dead, with certain mysteries about existence emanating from both as points of access. Separated, the two realms of natural life and death stand, but choices in one easily influence the other. The epithet of Set as ‘friend to the dead’ is a reflection of this, one of the major reasons Egypt put so much emphasis on the afterlife. The title ‘Finality’ was also applied to Nephthys as the wife of Set.

Set was also worshiped at the Temple of Matmar, which Ramesses tore down a Temple to the Aten to create. In this Temple, Set is signposted in superlative terms as the most important foe of Akhenaten’s heresy. The city itself was dedicated to Set, with numerous cult objects being discovered.

The most infamous and poorly understood myth of Set involves the affair of Nephthys and Osiris after the latter confuses Her appearance for Isis, a matter that leads the vengeful God to cut Osiris into pieces.

Concerning Nephthys, contained in this myth is an allegory for the playful and dormant feminine energies (responsible for processes like arousal and sleep) being gradually focused, condensed, and activated by opening the fertile and creative Sacral Chakra in the practitioner, bringing them into an active state. Starting with the Third Eye of Osiris, the opening of the soul also enables the activation of the Astral senses related to Her realm. There is a union of energy, out of which the creative force of Anubis is born.

Set rules over the electric side of the serpentine energy. As anyone with basic knowledge here hopefully knows, pre-emptive goading of this force (with the goading represented in the adulterous act of Nephthys) due to the Chakras merely being opened can result in total disaster—so does opening them in the wrong order and aligning them incorrectly as the practitioners of lies recklessly advocate.

However, as with many of the Egyptian myths, there are multiple meanings to this. The mutilation by Set also evokes the necessary processes of the Magnum Opus as it symbolizes the destruction of energies and the dissections of the Philosopher’s Stone (elixir). During transformation, the natural ‘part’ withers away, and the elixir is divided into elemental parts in stages, before being continually refined and perfected by each separation and application of elements.

The matter shows why Isis is depicted hovering over the lands as a kite in search of the God of the Dead and stitches Osiris back together with Nephthys’ assistance. Once the Chakras achieve connection, Magick also becomes possible, and the increasing bioelectricity drives the work. The Goddess of Magick then uses Osiris' discarded member (the imperfect elixir) to become pregnant. Horus is born from this union as the embodiment of the perfected elixir, reflected in mythology through his radiant lightness and ‘stone-like’ barque.

typhon.png


In the Greek imagination, Set was represented as the terrifying mythological figure known as the Typhon. Without the intervention of the Holy Zeus, all beings would submit to this formidable figure and become devoured by its presence. Putting it bluntly, this is an allegory for the eventual state of any being without access to the powers of union of the soul: they submit, wither, and potentially disappear. Set and Nephthys assuming power as the king and queen of Egypt in Osiris’ absence also relates to the inevitable primacy of immediate nature. Even advanced beings who have superior genetics, spiritual talents in the soul and other advantages are required to meditate and complete the Work.

Vicious acts by the Typhon terrorizing the world illustrate the case in cryptic terms that the sheer power of the serpent within an activated human is vast, inexplicable, and absolute. Only by using the ultimate and imperial powers of Zeus-like meditation can it be tamed and incorporated once unleashed. Much like the myth of Sekhmet, which represents the chaos of misusing the magnetic and feminine side of this force without preparation, the myth among the Greeks highlights the destructive potential of its fully activated, masculine counterpart when goaded improperly.

Both the 144 Laws of Set and the one hundred heads of the Typhon are representative of the 144,000 nadis of the soul. The Typhon myth also contains a warning alluding to the ‘Cup of Poison’ in meditation, as the creature spreads venom to the ends of the earth.

The consequences of sealing off the God power in people have been disastrous:

At the base chakra, human beings have been sealed off from energy. [This is symbolized by those two angels who guard the "tree of life" with flaming swords.] This is analogous to tying off a limb and allowing no blood or lymph to circulate and leaving it to wither and die. This has been the case with the human soul, which "Yahweh" has sealed off from Kundalini energy. Our souls have drastically degenerated. Bringing up the Kundalini serpent is very difficult and can be dangerous for the average person, as we are used to operating on a very low level of bioelectricity.

Finally, as many Egyptian artifacts relate, Set was said to rule over the application of Black Magick in certain areas. This was another force of destruction that was meant to be used only when necessary and not on a whim.

Ultimately, Set is also a deity of Life. Just as he represents the harshness of the barren wasteland and its unforgiving nature, He is also embodied in the desert flower, the riverbank, and the oasis—symbols of salvation that harken a gradual path to rejuvenation of the wastelands altogether.

SYMBOLISM OF SET​

Plutarch explained that Set’s name is etymologically related to overpowering:

ὄνομα δὲ Τυφῶνος ὑπερβολὴν καὶ βίαν σημαίνει, καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα διερμηνευόμενον τοῦτο δηλοῖ.

The name Typhon [i.e. Set] signifies excess and violence, and the word itself, when interpreted [in Egyptian], implies this meaning.

The most striking aspect of Set’s imagery is the Set animal. Many attempts have been made to identify this animal, with academics guessing it represents a dog, an aardvark, a giraffe, and a boar, amid various other kinds of creatures.

In truth, the peculiar animal was intended to be a composite image of land animals reflecting the state of pure nature and the flow of natural karma. Every being, humans included, must make their way out of the abyss and the storm to reach the divine. The reason why the hieroglyph of Set’s name is also a word for ‘tempest’ is a code alluding to this state of affairs.

Ignorance and the evil side of nature are represented in this animal. The ambiguity of the Set animal reflected the general character of the beings dwelling in the physical world that He rules over. Sometimes, its stark appearance served as a warning for the holy to absolve themselves of the affairs of the ignorant, the dangerous, and the parasitic, lest brute nature consume them whole.

It is feasible that the Predynastic Egyptians traversing through the dangerous desert environment would seek to placate, by worshipping the deity of that dangerous land, to ensure their safe passage to and from the gold mines and the Red Sea coast. That god was not perceived as being one of the resident fauna of the Nile valley but a creature of their imagination that they believed inhabited the inhospitable desert, the Seth animal.

In the Late period and by the onset of the Hellenistic world, the Set animal was often represented as a donkey instead, sometimes in elaborate themes. The donkey imagery helped in elaborating Set’s functions to foreigners.

This animal also came to represent foreigners as a whole. The Egyptians were fiercely proud of their very holy civilization and frankly considered many of the peoples they encountered to be closer to the natural world. Sometimes, they would use the imagery to represent the babbling and enigmatic nature of outsiders, something misunderstood by historians as representing a disregard for Set as a being.

Set was deemed the Lord of the Red Land, the desert that represented limited samsaric consciousness and the bounds of isfet (chaos). He was also associated with the color red, particularly crimson and dark red. Visual codes of this color are related to the Base Chakra but also matters of rage, blood, the reddish hotness of the desert, and markers of sexual arousal.

The sexual force related to virility and masculine pleasure for its own sake, found among the Book of Aphrodisiacs and many other texts, was associated with Set. Even red-haired individuals were considered lascivious in Egypt due to their visual association with this God.

One way Egyptians viewed sexual functions within a moral framework was through the lens of man and woman—more abstractly, the feminine and masculine forces in any couple—representing distinct and hidden worlds to one another, much like Set and His wife rule over realms that seemingly never overlap. Sexual union, then, forms an unstable meeting point between these worlds, one that can lead to either good or bad outcomes.

Extreme force by men through their libido and thinking purely through their ‘second brain’ (so to speak, a product of ignorance) can burn women to cinders. On the other hand, deliberate sexual deadness in a woman is either emblematic of severe problems or feminine immaturity and often dissolves a relationship. Conversely, the Egyptians believed the rectified and ‘set aright’ forms of Set and Nephthys, in dutiful assistance to Horus and Isis after Set has been overcome and Nephthys joins Isis on Her quest, respectively, represented a couple of balanced forces whose bond could not perish even in death.

The was scepter, whose top end resembles the mysterious animal’s head, represents Set’s power to wield the forces of nature in a corrective manner. It also symbolizes the ultimate and terrifying power of nature, capable of shaking even the Gods. Furthermore, the scepter embodied the Pharaoh’s power to punish the ignorant and lowly through the authority and approval of the Gods and to set them aright. Khnum and Sekhmet also wield this scepter of unimaginable power.

Among actual animals, Set is strongly associated with the hippopotamus, especially in the context of being fought or bound by a resurgent Horus. This animal is known to be the most powerful and fearsome of all land animals.

Set's card in the Minor Arcana is the Seven of Pentacles. Arcadia elaborated this card can definitely mean things feeling like "drawing blood from a stone". In the Rider-Waite deck, the background is represented as being like a desert or savannah. The black-haired, tanned man [note that Set has these characteristics], slouching, additionally overlooks a bush with bountiful fruit from his labors represented in the pentacles or coins. The card represents overcoming karmic obstacles through dedication, hard work and patience: success being around a difficult corner. It also deals with karma and purification in the number seven.

SET AND THE ENEMY

It is known from antiquity that Set’s attributes were used to insult the so-called god of the Hebrews by pagan individuals. Given the general contempt of antiquity against Yehuborim and Christianity, some scholars take this as some sort of proof that Set was considered a highly evil entity and the worst of the Gods. If he was equated with something so despised, how could this not be true?

Firstly, much of this stems from a misunderstanding of the word IAO (rendered in Greek as ιαω and looking like IAW, which appears frequently in Hellenistic Egyptian spells and was later stolen by the Yehuborim and fashioned into the Mosaic myth.) Set, Typhon, and IAO-Zeus represent the culmination of the mythology, unifying the serpent into the trine force.

Another truth is that the Egyptians used a certain code, understood among themselves, as a way to defend against persistent Yehuborim attacks on their Gods, as well as the hostility and genocidal hatred towards Egypt expressed in the Bible—something that, by the Hellenistic period, increasingly filtered into the public consciousness of Gentiles as the notorious acts of specific Yehuborim within the realm were exposed, especially as they came to make up a gigantic portion of Alexandria’s population.

Beyond initial naivety about Yehuborim as merely peculiar foreigners, the symbolism was used to reveal that the Hebrews and the entities behind them were engaging in nothing other than the entropic forces that would ultimately consume them—irreversibly locked into the domain of Set, where they would be judged and destroyed by Him... nothing more. This is also the reason why many pagan authors insult the Yehuborim by claiming that they worship a golden ass.

Therefore, insulting the interlopers in this manner was multilayered and rich with symbolism, not an actual equivalence between Set—or even the monstrous Typhon—and the vile ‘host’ of the Yehuborim. The Yehuborim, however, attempted to reappropriate this collocation for their own purposes, particularly those who adopted Greek manners and lifestyles in Hellenistic Egypt, leading to residual confusion. The so-called magical papyri of Alexandria and other source documents from across the Levant demonstrate how this confusion about entities began to seep into reality.

One book I read some time after grasping this—though quite spurious in many of its assumptions—illustrates the matter well:
Egyptian priests, including renowned historians like Manetho and Chaeremon, would have been horrified by the rhetorical violence of the Exodus myth, wielded against Egypt, its people, and its gods.

The Egyptian gods were depicted as powerless to defend themselves against the relentless attacks of a foreign deity—a being who openly favored his own people while unleashing what was essentially biological warfare upon the Egyptian populace.

Beginning in the first century BCE, Hellenized Egyptian literati pushed back to refute and reverse elements of the Exodus story, drawing on the resources of their own millennia-long cultural memory. In their retellings, it was not the Egyptians who were plagued; rather, the Hebrews were afflicted with leprosy and boils.

Instead of the Egyptians drowning in the Red Sea, it was the Hebrews who drowned in lakes on leaden rafts. Instead of the Hebrews bursting out of Egypt, weighed down with gold, they were disgorged into the desert—the realm of Seth—and left to wander with nothing.

[…]

Thinking of Yahweh as donkey-shaped was perverse because educated Greeks and Romans knew that the Yehuborim claimed to use no pictures or statues to represent their deity. But claiming that the Yehuborim were in fact hypocrites in this regard was part of the polemical twisting of the knife.

The Evil Creator, M. David Litwa

In the Roman era, this imagery of insult was increasingly directed at Christians across the Empire as well. Beyond the fact that most early Christians were essentially Yehuborim promoting a new type of belief, Christians were considered beastlike, ignorant, and dangerous due to their persistent attempts to undermine Roman religion, their endless vicious sectarianism, and their hostility toward all other creeds.

Much like with Osiris, the destruction of the sanctuaries of Set and Nephthys was caustic and ugly in scope. It is clear that the Yehuborim certainly did not regard the actual deity as representing them.

In the Goetia, Set was represented as Sytry, one of His names. This element of Set focused on the erotic and lesser-known element of His cult, being described as a Demonic entity that brings man and woman together. He is represented with the ferocious head of a leopard and wings of a gryphon. Certain Egyptian representations of Set show Him as gryphon-like.

Certain individuals have also associated Set with certain evil currents over the ages. Other manifestations, such as the Temple of Set, have generally reflected a more positive outlook than traditional occult orders. In my experience, Set is a most helpful and gentle God to all of the followers of Zeus. I believe much of the reputation of Set as a philosopher-figure even in Christian and Islamic confusion (like the below) results from this disposition. HPS Lydia, who has worked closely with Him, has stated many times over the years that Set is a most wonderful and understanding God.

SET AND JUDAISM

For themselves, the Hebrews reinterpreted the figure of Set as Seth, the son of Adam and Eve and the remaining brother of Cain and Abel. This figure appears in the Bible as the progenitor of a fallen humanity.

Many of Seth’s functions relate to Yehuborim mysticism and certain texts passed down through Gnostic groups. One example is the text known as the Apocalypse of Moses, in which Adam explains to his son the nature of death and illness, noting that no one had ever died from illness prior to being expelled from Eden. He recounts that prior to being cast out, God promised to help Adam become risen to eternity if he led a sinless life. Upon his death, God eventually has mercy on Adam, who is carried off to heaven in a chariot of light (merkaba) and is promised that everyone ‘of his seed’ will rise to this state at some point.

Eve and her son traverse the wastes of the world, knocking on the doors of Eden and begging for the ointment from the Tree of Mercy, from which she was banished. The archangel Michael tells them in a cryptic manner that they are never to receive the ointment and become as Gods until the mission of the Hebrew race is accomplished on Earth.

Tablets written by Seth are placed on the Temple Mount, where only Solomon (the fashioner of the temple of the risen body) is able to recover them. The 144,000 Laws of Set are also incorporated into the Mosaic mythos – following the Laws of Moses rigidly grants the Yehuborim access to Eden. We can see here how the serpent myth is appropriated in the mission of the anti-theists.

One of the infamous groups around the fall of Rome was the Sethians, who directly worshipped this figure. It is unclear whether this group were covert pagans or if they worshipped the Yehuborim formulation of a serpent in the form of Seth. Some speculate that the Gnostic group attacked by Plotinus in the Enneads was the Sethians, who seemed to believe that matter and the world were evil.

SET AND ISLAM

In comparison to the Yehuborim scriptures and the Christian Bible modeled after them, Sith (Seth) is barely mentioned in the Qur'an or the Hadith.

In spite of this, certain works by Muslim scholars advertising the ‘wisdom and philosophy of Sith’ appeared in the early Middle Ages, many of these stolen from prior Egyptian works. Sith is represented as the incarnation of the law and the transmission of sacred wisdom, as well as the natural world.

Certain crafts, such as the manufacture of combs from horns, were said to be taught from Sith, a practice associated with Set in Egypt.

Amazing and Helluva informative. Thanks for this. I sometimes wonder why it is Set that I have on my mind from time to time. The Temple of Set was also something I enjoyed reading about. Was is because He is the God of Darkness, I don't know, but His ritual I found to be the most pleasant.
 
Thank you JG Karnonnos and others who have helped for this most wonderful article on our God Set. Recently I have been attracted to him and I have been thinking it is due to my need to overcome my karmic burdens and work specifically on my Base and Solar chakra. I will be doing His ritual today.

Hail Satan!
Hail Nephthys!
Hail Set!
