Yes, the Temple seems to remove itself from what are usually percieved to be a church's duties. ]|-D 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Trakka Area: Base of Set To: Dark Star 23 Jul 94 06:37:00 Subject: Re: The Contemporary Left-Hand Path UpdReq > Tra> So the Christian Church suffers as the Satanists did - Isolated > Tra> incidents, performed by twisted members [ouch], with the central body > Tra> bearing the criticisms and slurs. > Ummm, you must really be isolated from the media to have said > that.

The Satanic genre has yet to separate itself from its less appreciated members - the various ram cults and so forth - which earned the original persecution, and while Set may have successfully defended itself from the press' onslaught, the culprits remain. And continue to practice, I am certain. ]|-D 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Lady Byron Area: Base of Set To: Deep Black 22 Jul 94 16:53:28 Subject: Re: Giger's Tarot UpdReq DB> Nigel: "Yeah, it's kind of a cross between Mozart DB> and Bach.

When joining the Temple you are given 2 years to work out what it is all about. If it can take that long for someone who wants to understand, how can you expect someone who is not particularly interested to understand in 2 minutes? There is only one person in Sydney, that I know of, who wants to "go public" with the Temple and, as far as I can tell, he has not even tried to understand what the Temple is about. Until this time last year there was no one in Australia who could represent the Temple, which is probably why you have only heard second hand information about the ToS. We now have a Priestess in Sydney who can talk to you officially about the Temple so you may see a more public image emerging. Under her leadership the ToS in Australia is now on friendly terms with the Pagan Alliance (PPPA), the CAW and the OTO. If people are genuinely interested in the LHP they are welcome to talk to her or one of the Adepts who are publicly available in the area. But as is the case for most magical paths people have to seek us out as there is little to be gained evangelizing. The Address for the ToS Australia is: P.O.Box 623, Alexandria, N.S.W. 2015 Quintin. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Mike Ellis Area: Base of Set To: All 29 Jul 94 15:20:50 Subject: Occult Resource Guide UpdReq Greetings to all, I am in the process of compiling the Nationwide Occult/Pagan Resource Guide.

There was a fellow that used to frequent this area who used that moniker. He told me it was the Eastern Indian equivalent of a "vampiric" concept. He was not too explicit and I'm not real clear on what he did tell me. You are probably correct that it is in some Eastern Indian text or another. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Diabolus Area: Base of Set To: Michael Aquino 30 Jul 94 15:49:00 Subject: Re: Glinda File "BloodBk" UpdReq I'll be happy if some legal action takes place. I just read it and it appears that her own admitted emotionally instability in the beginning of the book seems to be her motivating drive behind these slanderous facts. (As if her affiliation with you was the catalyst for the breakup of her marriage.) I don't find it surprising that they actually printed carl raschke's review of the book, who, from what I remember, had the fortune of dealing with numerous lawsuits from various institutions. -Bruce- 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Michael Aquino Area: Base of Set To: The Cub 29 Jul 94 07:18:46 Subject: RE: The Set like in Conan UpdReq TC> Is this the same kinda Set cult like in conan or is this just for TC> talking about darkside things.
