Temple of Set
The Temple of Set was started in 1975 by Michael. A Aquino. It was given its title after Aquino stated that the Egyptian god Set spoke to him. Aquino was a member of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan until he and others left the organization over administrative differences. The philosophy of The Temple of Set stresses self-enhancement through education and experimentation.
The book, The Jewelled Tablets of Set, articulates degrees within the order:

Local groups of the Temple of Set are called Pylons. Members get together to talk about various topics concerning ultimate reality.
