Set(h) is Not Satan

divinecerviine:

i find that since today is balls day, the day where we celebrate Set’s new gonads, that i should make this post

its been done before but ever since ive been looking into satanism again, i keep seeing theistic satanists (not dual-worshipping kemetics) worshipping Set like he is Satan. and as a kemetic and a theistic luciferian, i feel like its appropriate that i say this myself

Set is Not Satan!! Set is not the “egyptian version” of Satan or Lucifer. Set is the god of chaos, yes, but necessary chaos. most views on how Satan is as a god is that he is chaotic, but just for the sake of being chaotic and individualistic (if that makes sense?). Set does the things that he does because they’re necessary for certain things to happen. like killing his brother, Osiris; that had to happen in order for there to be an afterlife.

Set is also not only a chaotic god but he also protects Ra!! and slays apep!! Set being considered the god of necessary chaos does not mean that he is only the god of necessary chaos. no gods (at least in the egyptian pantheon) are limited to what their ‘titles’ may say.

please please please, if you respect Set, i would suggest not worshipping him as if he is Satan or Lucifer. im not here to police anyone on how they worship or go about their path but i find that it may be rather disrespectful to view Set as ‘the egyptian Satan’. if you want an ‘egyptian Satan’, look at apep (’the nameless one’). but seriously dont worship ‘the nameless one’ because that thing will literally eat everything we know and love. it is not a god!

idk, i just felt certain gut feelings recently that i should make this post
