Here's a general thread about Set. Please post anything && everything about Set, especially if it's game-related! Prespos ("Little Set") Ps1. This is the third version of the OP. First was redacted, second was expanded. Thread name changed from: Temple ov Set to: Set. In general, probably better to work with generalities. Ps2. In case anyone is interested, there is an actual temple of Set, that has been around for a while: xeper.org/Not sure how close it is to the traditional worship of Set, who was basically the god of Upper Egypt.

Interesting. I read a few of the essays. Knowing that Bowie was a vociferous reader, and at times occultist, I had a connection on this line from Ziggy Stardust:
he played it left hand, but made it too far
as referring to a "left-hand path"

The "left-hand path" was referred to by Anton La Vey, in his writings. (Historically, being left-handed was considered to be a sign ov The Devil.) Michael Aquino, head ov The Temple ov Set, was a member ov The Church ov Satan.

"I've just come back to show you All my words are golden So have no gods before me, I'm the light..."
the words of Jesus, or of Satan? Or Alice Cooper? (Second Coming, Love it to Death) Although it is claimed the song was actually a dig at the Beatles which were at the time seemingly beyond reproach.
I'm not sure why the "Satanists" ever bothered with Satan, or any of its imagery, given the general philosophy, which certainly has nothing to do with worshiping Satan, or anything else. Maybe it was for the inevitable press coverage. After all, every Church needs money. So dressing up like a vampire and pushing those buttons worked then, and probably works now. The robe costume was already taken. Maybe I'm too cynical, I don't know.
The Prince of Darkness, the Prince of Peace. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Prince. Sides of a coin? Left hand, right hand? Right brain, left brain? Left and Right politics?
Taoism seems to me to be a mediation on the transcending of such dualities, of all duality, that these opposites are labels of the mind. (especially: Hua Hu Ching ) I've always liked the two-handed sword, the piano, the guitar. Baroque restraint and metal's fury. One is meaningless without the other. Who else would one meet in the greatest western darkness, but Jesus, the light? While his very idol is held aloft in the Church of his name, burning incense, eating flesh and drinking blood? So there had to be a Satanic church, not just another philosophical & magickal iteration. Only Nixon could go to China.
I don't know, man, I don't know much of anything, just jamming. MORE BASS

I'm a bit pressed for time, unable to do more than basic 'maintenance', here. Hopefully, I'll remember to open a thread about Lao Tzu, perhaps in the 2e subforum. Admin Ps. Getting back to Set: if anyone knows of a source that lists out all Egyptian temple ruins, please post!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Set#SetInteresting point of view, although, one that differs radically from that ov the Egyptian, whereas Set was "just another another deity" in the pantheon. Well... of course, Set wasn't just another deity: he was the lord of Upper Egypt! Most people understand him as the mega-bad-guy, especially D&D volk && the Conan followers. However, there is more to Set's story... See here: Necropolis, Little Set Ps. I hope to rework this thread into just a general thread about Set. Deity threads are fun!
