Being a self-created god, Set is a powerful archetype of the Adversary and a kind of “guiding star” for a practitioner who has embarked on the Path of the Mysteries of becoming a god. He was feared by the faint-hearted and revered by those who aspired to power; he became a symbol of storm and change, movement and transformation, strength and energy. Its fiery nature symbolizes lust and rage, which are the driving force on the path of metamorphosis, and its Black Flame is the inner spark of Divinity, which successively becomes the Fire Pillar of Ascension on the Path of self-initiation.
