Infernal Mandate

Michael Aquino’s account of the working he conducted in June 1975, shortly after his resignation from Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, in which the Egyptian god Set is described as having directly addressed him and authorised the constitution of a new order — the Temple of Set — to continue what Aquino regarded as the genuine left-hand-path project the Church of Satan had abandoned. The mandate document, written immediately after the working, has been published in subsequent Setian literature and is the founding doctrinal text of the Temple.
