This week i dive into the sordid history of Col. Michael Aquino, and the Temple of Set. His name goes round in conspiracy circles quite a bit, but let's see if we can go a little further as we dive deep down the rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream!

Cheers, and Blessings

 

Ipsissimus Michael Aquino - Founder Temple of Set, Grand Master Emeritus of the Order of the Trapezoid, Temple of Set. In 1975 Michael Aquino was given an Infernal mandate by the Prince of Darkness which resulted in the founding of the Temple of Set and the re-consecration of the Setian Priesthood. Magus of the word "Xeper". -Lefthand Path Sorcery Website 

Michael Aquino was a very highly decorated military man with numerous awards in fact so many that it took up two pages of his book MindWar.


In 1968 while serving or the 306th Psychological Operations Battalion at Fort MacArthur in California, during the Vietnam War, He Joined Satanic Church after meeting Lavey at theatre showing of Rosemary's Baby•

He became a Satanic priest, & worked closely with the Lavey's for over 10 years. He started having disagreements with the way Lavey was portraying Satan and how he was running the church. Michael did not approve of the hokey B-movie imagery and wanted the church to be more serious. Lavey had became a recluse and would only speak in front of the Adepts of the congregation. He changed the way members worked there way up the degrees, & it became a for profit system where the Lavey's would take money, property, and gifts in exchange for adepthood. 

Michael decided to consult Satan on the issue. On June 21st 1975 as the clock struck midnight at his home in Santa Barbara he did a magical working, & spent 4 hours writing his book that would become the manual for the Temple of Set called, "Coming Forth By Night."
He believed that Satan had passed the torch of early representative from Lavey to himself. (Æon of Set)

Set-
Upon the ninth Solstice, therefore, I destroyed my pact with Anton Szandor LaVey, and I raised him to the Will of a Daimon, unbounded by the material dimensions. And so I thought to honor him beyond other men. But it may have been this act of mine that ordained his fall.

Set-
The Satanist thought to approach Satan through ritual. Now let the Setian shun all recitation, for the text of another is an affront to the Self. Speak rather to me as to a friend, gently and without fear, and I shall hear as a friend.


In The New Satanists book by Linda Blood, who was a mistress of Aquino she says they wrote letters to one another, & eventually she was able to meet him at a Temple of Set convention. A few weeks later they began having an affair. She joined the Temple, & began learning the rites, & ceremonies. She discovered that a Aquino had a fascination with Nazi memorabilia, the Thule, and Vril society and especially Himmler's occult operations. 

The Setian concept of good and evil is based on the idea that whatever is good for one individual may well be considered evil by someone else, and who is to say who is right and who is wrong? Aquino cautions his followers that "profane" society will tolerate them only if they are "perceived" to be ethical people. 


"Aquino called the average society of profane masses, "World of Horrors,"

"Mindwar is magic. Every MindWarrior must therefore be a magician.

On behalf of the military and the World Affairs Council, he took a tour of European NATO offices, And also traveled to Germany to the Schloss Wewelsburg's Westphalian castle (a triangular fortress) where Himmler had had the SS ritual chambers, and trained The Nazi Black Order in occult teachings.
