For several years the High Priest of the Temple of Set, unveils some of his own personal inner teachings originally shared with Initiates of the Temple. From the contents of this book all persons who are serious about their own initiatory self-transformation will learn things of deep value which can be put into practice for purposes of self development, regardless of the path they are on. The Temple of Set is the leading philosophical branch of the Left-Hand Path Initiation openly operating in the world today. This book makes some of the inner teachings of the Temple available to the general public for the first time. Don Webb was for some years, before his retirement, the High Priest of the Temple of Set.

More About the Author
I have been nominated for and not won very prestigious awards. Last year alone I lost both the Shirley Jackson Award and the International Horror Critics Award. I am hoping to not win other awards of note in coming years. I had been cited in Best American Short Stories (as well as 70 other citing in one "best of the year" list or another).
I have had 12 books and about 400 other items published --ranging from poems in Chinese, trucker fiction in Truckers USA, a story in an honest-to-god Norton Anthology, a book on the Greek Magical Papyri, more Cthulhu Mythos stories than Lovecraft himself, a story in a Norwegian anarchist magazine. I have guest-curated at an art museum, shot fireworks professionally, been the head of a pagan religion, and worked in a corndog factory
I was born on Walpurgisnacht (April 30), 1960 in Amarillo, Texas -- a town whose major industry was the assemblage of plutonium enriched parts of atomic weapons. My mother's family had share-cropped at the first ranch in the world to use barbed wire. Mys work has been translated into 12 languages. In 1988 Ie watched a documentary entitled "Satanism in America" --a cheap piece of yellow
journalism that promoted the (now debunked) myth of "Satanic Crime." I was impressed with the calm logical answers of Dr. Michael Aquino and sent him an approving letter. My letter noted that I did not understand how "Working in a group could strengthen individuality." Dr. Aquino humorously
challenged me to join and explain it to them. Eight years later I becamethe High Priest of Set and a Magus (V*) of the Temple. My major Initiator was Dr. Stephen E. Flowers, and I have written four books on Left Hand Path topics for Flowers' Runa Raven Press. In addition to my
prose, I has published a volume of poetry, written lyrics for rock-n-roll songs, and been in a documentary about his home town, _Plutonium Circus_.
My formative teachers include Paulea Patterson, whp taught Latin at Tascosa High School in Amarillo, from whom I gained a love of classics, a high school counselor who told me that because of his ever dyslexia he should not ever even think
of becoming a writer, and Bruce Sterling, Austin Science Fiction writer, who founded the important writers' group Turkey City. I teaches a variety of on-line creative writing classes for UCLA.

For the few.,
This review is from: Mysteries of the Temple of Set (Inner Teachings of the Left Hand Path) (Paperback)
It is important to realize this book is not for everyone, it does contain certain things that may empower your imagination and views on life but for most people it is quite harmless, to get to this book I recommend you have studied the ways of the Left Hand Path on your own before (there are other two books from the same author that may be most suited for beginners) or you risk yourself to misunderstanding what is being told to you in this book.There is much information about the Temple of Set in the internet, some of it may be hidden for those who are just momentary curious but for those who are indeed interested there are hundreds and hundreds of pages of information regarding the Temple and it's practices, this book however contains the very basics (or core) of Setian philosphy (plus one). There is another reviewer who says something about Michael Aquino (founder of the Temple) and his "fascination with Nazi leaders?" of this you shall know then that the Temple and this book is not for those who judge before knowing, if you want to know more about it I recommend the Masters of the Left Hand Path book by Dr. Stephen Flowers.

Mysteries? Ok Maybe.,

This review is from: Mysteries of the Temple of Set (Inner Teachings of the Left Hand Path) (Paperback)
Let start from negative to positive. I am not sure there were really any secrets told in the book , however it was still a very good read.The book gave this seeker some insight of what the Temple of Set may be like, which I guess would mean I did learned a few secrets.I will say I really liked the book. It is written at a college level which made it a bit more difficult for this high school grad to understand at times, but I will probably read it again in a few years after I progress further in my magical life. Oh I did get the candles and wish Uncle Setnakt alot of prosperity LOL. I would read this book after one reads "Uncle Setnakt's Guide to the Left Hand Path". Which is what I did. Both good books for the seeker. Just buy it if your thinking about doing it you won't regret spending the few dollars.

This review is from: Mysteries of the Temple of Set (Inner Teachings of the Left Hand Path) (Paperback)
The Temple of Set fascinate me; Michael Aquino has an aura about him that is somewhat attractive, somewhat sinister. I definitely hold the philosophy of someone on the Left-Hand Path; but occasionally, I'm turned off by the Temple of Set's not-so-aristocratic approach to religion.Good book, check it out.
