    Specifically speaking, Set is the earliest recorded 'form' of the Prince of Darkness, Satan is an anthropomorphised Judeo - Christian figure.
    Set would be seen as the oldest known mythological expression of this principle of Isolate Intelligence. This is a transcultural, universal principle, a form, which results in there being different cultural manifestations of this principle throughout the world.

    I remember years ago when I was 13 someone told me Westport house has a history of satanic worship.
    And some strange things happened,there was a concrete cross there which was upsidedown....
    Is Seth the same as Satan.

    You may find this thread of use regarding Set as it contains additional information under the title 'Prince of Darkness'

    Saw a good documentary on BBC a few months ago about Satan.
    Basically said that the whole cast out of heaven for trying to overthrow God thing is a myth that was made famous by renaissance painters and writers.

    Sounds interesting. Of course, all religion could be classed as mythology, not that such classing diminishes its inherent wisdom mind you.

    Here is a doc I came accross some time ago called The Occult Experience'.
    Another sensationalist oldie but still with some great clips from late Church of Satan and LaVey, Michael and Lilith Aquino and the Temple of Set and aesthetics from HR Gigar. Worth a look see, I'll leave it up to the discerning viewer to pick and choose the wheat from the chaff.

    Here is a good quote from 'Contemporary Religious Satanism, a Critical Anthology' by JA Petersen (2009) concerning the goal of modern Satanism:

    "The goal of modern Satanism is found within, not outside the individual, whether it is humanities human nature or the isolate intellect. When combined with antinomian or elitist interests, we have a project of self-actualisation transgressing the moral boundaries of society, setting the self above conventional expectations and mores. Indeed, as it is contaminated by socialisation, the self must confront and dispense with this influence to realise itself. Thus modern Satanism must be understood as a double negotiation of positive identity construction - self realisation - and negative identity destruction - the lack of conformity".

    Apologies for bringing an old thread back(I know people don't like when that happens),and also apologies if this question has already been asked,but...

    Regarding the number 666.do Satanists really see it as having any special significance,or is this just a number which was/is demonized by christians and possibly other theists?
