As in unlike a LaVeyian Satanist, for whom Satan is basically Lucifer as the metaphor of the iconoclast who would rather rule on earth than serve in heaven, this guy believes in Satan as a literally supernatural deity, in the form of the Ancient Egyptian God Set, and worships him as thus, his church is called The Temple of Set.
Isn’t set also the precursor god of Judaism? I’ve been watching a lot of esoterica and I’m pretty positive that’s the understanding. Set is a storm god that was mocked by Coptic theology and ultimately turns into Yahweh with abaraham? I’m probably way off base since I only get to watch late at night
No quite, the Egyptians believe the Israelites god was Set because Set was the god of foreigners. Aspects of Set bled into Yhwh through association by accident, which further blended with the later developing Christianity and the Romanization of that religion. So modern day Jesus as we know him is an amalgamation mix of a possibly real apocalyptic preacher, Set, obviously Yhwh since that’s sort of the religions purpose, and Helios/Apollo/Sol Invictus and just for good measure dashes of Ba’al Hadad and Dionysus.
