Pre-History and the Stellar Tradition
In the earliest religions of humanity the focus was on the stars and the
night sky, specifically the northern circumpolar stars which never sank below the
from the revolving cycles of nature (the stars, zodiac, sun, planets, gods
that this focus on the circumpolar stars was prominent, nomadic humans also
heavily relied on the rains, the storm gods being associated with the skies same
as the circumpolar stars. In Egypt the god Set was both the storm god and the
god of the northern circumpolar stars, fulfilling both of these important roles at
once. During this early period there was no reverence for the sun as with the
solar religions, and in the first religions of Egypt, the sun was hated and feared
as an enemy of mankind, drying things up and burning them. Rain was needed
for survival and growth, especially before settling in places like the Nile River or
Crescent Valley. Throughout the earliest traditions in Africa it is the sky and
storm gods who were supreme. This continued elsewhere like with Zeus to the
Greeks, or Perun to the Slavs, and into the Chaoskampf myths of storm

For a long time focus on Egypt has been based on the solar traditions,
especially those of the god Osiris and his religion, and to a lesser extent Ra
and Amun. The story of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, which paints the sky/storm
god Set as an evil and demonic force, is easily the most well-known story from
ancient Egypt, and one of the most well-known in history. As G.A. Wainwright
says in his “The Sky Religion in Egypt: Its Antiquity and Effects”: “Very
little research had been done on this great system in Egypt. Indeed, until quite
Detailed study has been confined in the first place to the well-known Osiris
religion, which overrode almost everything else as time went on, and in the
second place to the sun worship which became prominent as the royal religion…
My work has shown that the sky and fertility religion of Egypt include some of
her most ancient gods” (p.7). Even with the increasingly frequent discoveries of
Set’s positive role before Osiris, this aspect of Egyptian mythology is largely
ignored. This is taken to the extreme of being called fake history and
pseudoscience! Yet as we will see some of the greatest, most accomplished, and
most significant kings to ever rule Egypt were dedicated to Set and this
Stellar Tradition.

A full look into Set and his role in Egypt and the modern world is
explored much more deeply in the author’s “Behold: The Prince of Darkness
again entirely here. To summarize from the history section of that text: “Set
was a God dating into pre-history who was associated with the Northern
benevolent God who helped the dead reach immortality and rise above the
other Gods. This religion of Set was over-taken by the religion of Osiris in
early Egyptian history. With the rise of Osiris, Set became demonized, a
scapegoat and a much more traditional “Satan” type character. His popularity
resurged with some of the greatest dynasties in the New Kingdom after
Akhenaten’s short stint with monotheism, but then Set completely fell out of
grace and faded away with the decline of Egypt.” This text is specifically

The best single academic work into the pre-historic Setian tradition and
its rulers comes from the aforementioned “Sky Religion in Egypt: Its Antiquity

until now, many thought to be modern theory. This includes Set being the
welfare of the people and in the deification of the pharaoh, with the pharaoh as
Set’s representative here on earth. Wainwright even traces the fall of this
original “Sky Religion” (or Stellar Tradition) through the elite class’ growing
obsession with this life and their power here in this world, moving towards Solar

literally or ritualistically, while still in his prime. At a time when life was short and

appears in The Pyramid Texts – and the king was the representative of Set on
earth. Due to this the pharaoh could overcome the day of his death like Set.

and mankind. Min came in the form of Khnum to spin human beings on his
potter’s wheel, and festivals celebrated his “coming forth”, especially in Upper
Egypt where he originated. Ash was a god of the oases much like Set, and
both were associated with and likely from Libya. They were also gods of the
desert and the patrons of Nubt, though Ash may have been there even before
Set.
Upon death those dedicated to Set were originally cremated, their ashes
used in rituals for the rain. Later they were buried in simple graves with minor
grave-goods, but nothing suggests the body was overly important to the
afterlife at that time (and the cremation of the body contradicts the idea of the
body being needed beyond this life). Interestingly, it is in these early grave good

Winter Solstice. For a while there was a struggle between the new solar culture
and the old stellar one, and while the myth had existed before in a humorous and
consensual way, this is where the common myth of a “war” between Horus and
Set comes in. As the victors of history the solar god in the myth won of course!
Wainwright theorizes that the move to a solar tradition was first started
by a corruption among the societal elite. Desiring to keep their power for longer
they manipulated the political landscape in order for the king to remain in power
for life. Sed-festivals still occurred, but only every thirty years instead of seven.
Even the later Setian pharaohs ruled for life, it simply became “how things
were” for the ruling class. The solar tradition also made the afterlife more
accessible, rather than requiring dedicated spiritual efforts, and it also lessened
the nature of that afterlife. Rather than self-deification the individual would
remain in the same place within the societal hierarchy after death, things would
just be more stable. For instance a farmer will always be a farmer, but they know

today in the solar religions of the West. It also did not have to be worked for,
Despite the strength and appeal of this solar tradition, there was a brief
resurgence of Setian and stellar ideology in the 2nd dynasty. Today the role of
these early traditions has become much clearer – they were the foundation of

for taking a Set- rather than Horus-name while king. Each pharaoh in history
has a special name they took, and the symbol it was originally put inside was
called a “serekh”. Usually this had a Horus falcon on top of it, the symbol of
the solar tradition, but in the case of Peribsen it had a Set-animal and that
alone. Peribsen fought to curb the abuse of power by high officials and bring
their power back in line. His rule is described as a time of religious and cultural
advancement, but it appears he may have only ruled over Upper (southern)
Egypt, the domain of Set (where Lower Egypt was the domain of Horus).
The mythology of Peribsen was that he had created himself by his own
will, born to try and restore Egypt to its old traditions. He created a cult center
for Set near Ombos, though Peribsen was happy to let the people worship
whichever gods they chose. In this sense he was both a pluralist and henotheist,
accepting the existence of all the gods but preferring Set personally. Some
historians once thought that Peribsen was a hated heretic, and even claimed he
since then has shown this to be untrue. In fact, Peribsen’s funerary cult was still
strong two entire dynasties later in the 4th dynasty, and underwent heavy
10 | P a g e
restoration during the later Setian dynasties of Egypt. Even Peribsen’s
successor, another of our Setian Pharaohs, showed nothing but respect for the
late king. Peribsen’s tomb featured the heavy use of gods like Ash and Min,
as the first man of his kind, a Setian leader in a solar time where his tradition
had been repressed. Not only was he an iconoclast and arguably “heretical” to
the solar tradition, but he was able to rise through the ranks to king despite it.
But Peribsen did not use his power to enforce his views or manipulate his
citizens, instead he was openly pluralist and allowed his people to worship
whichever of the gods they wished, Horus included. It was nothing like what we
will see later with Akhenaten enforcing his solar god as the only authentic one.
Peribsen also sought to liberate and empower his citizens, to balance the
mindset, everyone seeking to have things exactly their way and refusing all
compromise. One mistake and you are an evil monster, one quote of wisdom and
you are a brilliant sage. The Setian knows that this is utter nonsense. The only

We bicker over things like if a Christian must make a cake for a Muslim wedding,
but is that really any kind of true problem? Is the solution all that difficult to
work out, the problem so hard to get around? Peribsen realized that there were
much deeper problems threatening his people – exclusivism and poor dogma, the
abuse of political and religious powers, a cultural mythology which itself strives
to cause dissent amoungst people, and a system that judges people by factors
On top of all this Peribsen was loved for this! His cult lasted decades if

Khasekhemwy
Khasekhemwy was the predecessor of Peribsen, and put both Horus and
Set on top of his serekh. Following the time of turmoil surrounding the struggle
between the Stellar and Solar tradition, Khasekhemwy brought peace back to
Egypt and unified the country. At the same time he kept in place the work done
sought to embody both Horus and Set back in unity, how things originally
ended in the myth before the religion of Osiris changed the story.

Even among the Left Hand Path we tend to seek ways to separate ourselves
from other traditions, perhaps all traditions. Yet we also cannot put people off.
It is one thing to deck yourself out in satanic imagery on the weekends for
instance, but things can be quite difference in the context of a workplace, place
of education, and so forth. The Setian, and any Left Hand Pather really, must
learn how to master their outward appearance in any or all of these situations. It

During this time the old, pluralistic, polytheistic traditions of Egypt were
cast down. Science was abandoned and was seen as being identical to religious
belief. Akhenaten closed all the temples, which were not just centers of worship
but city centers with massive responsibilities like storage of food and drink. The
priesthood was once again corrupted and religious practices that contradicted
Atenism were banned. Akhenaten built a new city for himself and locked himself

We can learn a great deal from Horemheb and the preceding Armana
period of Akhenaten. To begin, this period gives insight into the first form of
monotheism. To date, nobody has found any real reason for Akhenaten to
suddenly worship the Aten alone, it was not some planned out ploy or political
There are two possibilities at play: one that Akhenaten did this for some
religious experience. If we accept that forces beyond human beings are at play
in the universe, as many Setians do, perhaps this is the first real occurrence of a
deity trying to claim itself as the only god? Maybe it is the same as the
monotheistic god of today! In fact, many of the modern Right Hand Path ideas
from the monotheistic religions can be seen with Akhenaten. Besides there
being only one god, all communication with that god had to be done through
himself and his family. This is an almost identical role as played by the Pope and
priests in Catholicism. You cannot simply pray to god directly, you must go
through ordained individuals who work as a middleman for god. He also pushed

temples and traditions. Naming all other gods “false” and seeking their

hard not to see the malevolence of this mindset and behavior. Horemheb was
discussed above, the false king Ay could have follow Akhenaten, tutored and
raised king Tut, and possibly even continued the Armana period and religion of
Atenism. What happened instead was Horemheb leading the path for

nor did he roll over and let his kingdom be taken by a false leader. When hit on

iconoclasts, he sought above all to literally and metaphorically destroy the
of lesser magic and used it to create a strong and united kingdom, while
honoring every individual’s right to choose their family gods, to live their life
without violation from a corrupt higher-class, and to rebuilding their temples and
statues in ernest.
It also would have been easy for Horemheb to simply murder Tut and
take the throne at any time. This may have even avoided the short rise of Ay to
the throne! King Tut received a father-figure instead, to guide him in re-uniting
the land and becoming a strong king. There does not appear to have been any
intent on the part of Horemheb to harm the young king, building himself a
modest tomb and being far from home when the king was murdered or passed
Horemheb is the ideal representation of a real life hero myth, a literal nobody
playing the long game even when it means doing something you may not like, of
overcoming any problem bestowed on him by status and birth as a strong and
distinct individual. Adding to this is his obvious dedication to Set himself, and
21 | P a g e
his close friendship and trust in the High Priest of Set Ramesses I. It makes
perfect sense as Set was a god of strength and power, not to mention one of
the gods dating back to pre-history. He played an important role in the re-
place.
22 | P a g e
Ramesses I
Ramesses I was the son of a man named Seti (meaning Man of Set) and
was the High Priest of Set during the rule of Horemheb. His family was long
dedicated to the god Set and possibly dated all the way back to Nubt. As with
Horemheb, Ramesses I was not of royal birth, though it is not known if he began
helping to rebuild Egypt following the decline of Atenism. By the time he was
chosen as Horemheb’s heir and became king he was a very old man, and the
famous pharaohs Seti I and Ramesses II were already both alive by the time
appears Ramesses I and his family saw Horemheb as the true founder of the
dynasty.
Ramesses I greatly exemplifies the Left Hand Path in many of the same
ways Horemheb does. Becoming a king without having royal blood is never an
easy feat, and he must have been highly trusted by Horemheb to be chosen as
advisor. As Ramesses was the High Priest of Set we can see that Set’s cult
must have been quickly recreated after the fall of Atenism, during Tut or
Horemheb’s rule. He aided in stabilizing the dire situation within Egypt and
returning a balance of power to the people and their leaders. Ignoring the
23 | P a g e
eternal glory that would come with being founder of the 19th dynasty, Ramesses
and his family gave that credit to the true founder – Horemheb – regardless of
That Ramesses and his family descend from a sacred home of Set again
ties them deeply to the Setian tradition. It is even thought that the family
sported pale-skinned, red-headed children who had always been seen as the
children of Set (associated with both red and the “foreign” look of paler skin).
While it is unknown if any of the previous kings here had esoteric connections
to Set, with the first kings of the 19th dynasty we can clearly see this
connection.
24 | P a g e
Seti I
Seti I was the son of Ramesses I and father of Ramesses II, the latter of
which was alive through Seti’s entire rule. “Seti” literally translates to “Man of
Set”. Like the pharaohs before him, Seti continued to restore Egypt from the
beginning many new mining projects. With Egypt strong once again, Seti
turned his focus to foreign policy and the expansion of the Egyptian empire.
He defeated the Hittite threat and increased the size of Egypt greatly. Seti
also kept an eye on the state and ruling class, ensuring they did not take
star map rather than something simply artistic as originally though – which focus
on the northern circumpolar stars. The Setian pharaohs of this time were also
careful not to push their own personal reverence for Set too much, knowing
They were henotheists anyways and did not mind the worship of other gods.
25 | P a g e
Yet they kept the symbolism in place, for instance in the tomb where Osiris is
placed far below and separate from the northern stars. It can also be seen in the
where he used the images of Osiris and Isis to spell his name without anything
related to Set!

young man when Seti passed. Seti I was also responsible for the Four
Hundred Years stele, shown in part below. The scene depicts his son,
Ramesses II, shown honoring the god Set in the form of the foreign god Ba’al.
During the second intermediate period some of the Hyksos rulers had
relationship with the god immediately following the period, likely until the times
of the 19th dynasty. This stele was intended to reclaim Set as a true and
26 | P a g e
ancient god of the Egyptians, and not a deity of the foreign rulers. Doing so
allowed the worship of Set to thrive again as a true Egyptian deity. That Set
is shown in the form of Ba’al was not intended to show Set as foreign, but
rather that this god was another form of Set! With the boarders of the empire

circumpolar stars. More than that, it was this tomb which suggested to Patricia
Hardy, former High Priestess of the Temple of Set, that these were more than
27 | P a g e
mere images. It was her peer reviewed paper, “The Cairo Calendar as a Stellar
Almanac”, which clearly showed the Egyptians associated the gods with
specific stars and their movement through the sky. Of course, the importance of
this stellar symbolism continues into the modern esoteric Left Hand Path of
today.

Seti also sought expansion of the Egyptian empire, setting his eyes on
foreign territories. Again the association of Set with foreign lands brings an
led him to seek farther horizons. A deeply spiritual man, he focused greatly on
the rebuilding of religious institutions like his father and Horemheb. As with the

Ramesses II
Known by many as the greatest pharaoh, Ramesses the Great ruled from
a very young age to a very old one. He brought a time of peace to Egypt by
infamous sea pirates who were ravaging the Mediterranean, and on the other he
created the first peace treaty in human history with the Hittite empire.
Following this was a time of great growth and prosperity for the empire.
Ramesses was renowned and loved as a wonderful king across the kingdom, and
he ruled across the entire lifetime of many of his citizens. Indeed, there was a
belief that when Ramesses died the world itself may end.
Ramesses was intentionally built near the city of Avaris, a city with a heavy
focus on the worship of Set (sometimes called “Lord of Avaris”). In the city
each quarter was assigned a deity, and the residing deity in the south was Set,
with his wife Astarte residing in the east. Wadjet, the eye of Horus (which
according to the Pyramid Texts only became magic after Set touched it), rules
the north, and Amun, the hidden god, rules the west. As the former director of

cultures rivals perhaps even Alexander the Great, who shared the same title as
the earlier Ramesses (“the Great”). Ramesses was not just seen as a god-king,
but as a god full stop, a being who became fully deified and joined his ranks
among the gods. He honored the idea of magical rejuvenation at certain ages,
31 | P a g e
Setnakhte
Setnakhte and his son were the last great Setian pharaohs, and indeed
the last great pharaohs of Egypt after the death of Ramesses II. After the
chaos at the end of the 19th dynasty, Setnakhte became the founder of the
new 20th dynasty. It is likely that Setnakhte was once again a commoner, though
strength of will and might, Setnakhte stabilized Egypt one final time, and it was
known that “He was Khepri-Set when he is enraged”. The name Setnakhte
itself means “Victorious of Set, Beloved of Ra”, and similar to Peribsen he was
thought to be self-created. Setnakhte was only able to reign for two or three
years before his death, leaving his son as the last great ruler of an ancient land.
It also appears that during the reign of Setnakhte, foreign rulers had
period like those before. The king worked to save his cities from the invaders
and make a country safe for his people to life in. Unfortunately not much more
is known of Setnakhte, and it appears he had a very short rule before passing
the torch to his son, Ramesses III. Yet we can still see the same self-
identications with Set, focus on the same values, drive towards the same goals

Ramesses III
Known by many sources as the last great pharaoh, Ramesses III took his
name after his great inspiration – Ramesses II. Ramesses was known as a warrior
pharaoh, and spent a large portion of his rule defending his country against
invasion. The Sea Peoples, who had destroyed many of the Bronze Age
civilizations in the area, were defeated by Ramesses and made citizens of the
empire thanks to an Egypt unified by Setnakhte. During his rule the world saw
events such as the Trojan War and the fall of Mycenae, and thanks to the Sea
and foreign expeditions, such as into the important land of Punt, which had been
abandoned since the time of Ramesses II. Similar to his inspiration, Ramesses
III celebrated his own Sed-festival. Like the others before him he sought to
inspect and reorganize the priesthoods and government to minimize the abuses
However, the corrupt priestly cast was once again tired of being

Conclusion
This has simply been a brief investigation into the Setian Kings of
modern Setian ideology. Their use of both lesser and greater magic is
unmatched, and their political and religious revolutions always sought to emulate
modern Left Hand Path ideas such as self-deification and heroism, judgement
based on individuals and not things beyond their control, pluralism and
the many out there who act as if Setianism is some unfounded or historically
inaccurate path. Yes, perhaps the modern world has caused changes to some of
those ideas and practices, but as this clearly shows there is a precedence for
the cult of Set, Stellar Tradition, and Left Hand Path dating back into pre-
historical Egypt. This is not some new path created out of thin air in 1975, it is
the constant rediscovery of a path older than time, one which has influenced us
