Temple of Set
Temple of Set
Following initiation into the Temple, a Setian can proceed along a series of six degrees, each of which requires greater responsibilities to the group; as a result, most members remain in the first two degrees. Governed by a high priest or high priestess and a wider Council of Nine, the Temple is also divided into groups known as pylons, through which Setians can meet or correspond in order to advance their magical work in a particular area. Pylons of the Temple are now present in the United States, Australia, and Europe, with estimates placing the Temple's average membership is 500.
Later development
Aquino stood down as High Priest again in 2004, to be replaced by Patricia Hardy who was elected to the position of High Priestess. Although no longer in charge of the organization, he nevertheless remained its most visible spokesperson.
Writings
The private Temple literature is not regarded as secret per se, but is kept restricted because it contains materials which, according to the Temple, may be dangerous to the non-initiated.
