Michael Aquino / Temple of Set
The Temple of Set is an occult initiatory order founded in 1975. A new religious movement and form of Western esotericism, the Temple espouses a religion known as Setianism, whose practitioners are called Setians. This is sometimes identified as a form of Satanism, although this term is not often embraced by Setians and is contested by some academics.

The Temple, which has an individualistic foundation, supports the idea that practitioners should seek self-deification and therefore achieve awareness of immortality. Setians believe in the presence of magic as a force that may be used through ritual, although the Temple does not specify the nature of these rituals. Aquino labeled Setian rituals as “black magic,” a phrase he defines idiosyncratically.
