7.2 Informal Contact
Description
This article is from the Temple of Set FAQ, by balfaq@xeper.org.
7.2 Informal Contact
- "My name is ... and i wish find a Setian Priest in my area to inquire
as to joining the Temple."
Information on how to join the Temple of Set is readily available at
the Temple's web site, by following the General Information and
Admissions Policies links.
To ask the Executive Director if she can help you contact a Priest of
Set in your area, a) find her email address above, b) send her your
request, including your postal address and/or phone, so our local
Priesthood can contact you (they may not have email).
- Electronic Mail mailing list(s)
Xepera-l <http://www.xeper.org/pub/tos/archives/xepera.html> is the
only public mailing list hosted by Setians. Moderation is minimal,
topics can be anything of interest to Setians, and participation is
open to all who are not openly hostile to the Temple or to Setians.
Visit its informational web page for subscription information.
- Internet newsgroups
- alt.satanism
alt.satanism is a newsgroup for discussions of satanic philosophy,
religion, organizations, activities, etc. Most Setians avoid the
newsgroup because of the high level of juvenile behavior that we run
into there. However, there are a few Setians who can be contacted
through that newsgroup.
- alt.pagan
alt.pagan attracts several Setians who belong to that community. We
prefer to avoid discussing simply Setian philosophy and religion or
Satanism in alt.pagan, since those are more appropriate to
alt.satanism, but the relationships between Setian philosophy and
religion and other Pagan philosophies and religions are on-topic and
suitable for that newsgroup.
- soc.religion.paganism
soc.religion.paganism is a well-moderated newsgroup in which the
same topics can readily be discussed. There are probably fewer
Setians on this newsgroup than on the other two, but there should be
enough visiting soc.religion.paganism to hold a meaningful
discussion when necessary.
- FIDO/PODS echoes
The Setian Discussions echo (tagname: SET, and previously named "Base
of Set" was the only FTN (Fido Technology Network) echo hosted by
Setians concerning Setian philosophy or the Temple of Set. Moderation
was minimal, and topics could be anything of interest to Setians.
Participation was open to all who were not openly hostile to the Temple
or to Setians. This echo was carried on the FIDO North America
backbone, and by most major hubs within PODS. It was carried in
Australia by both FIDO and PODS, and in Germany (and perhaps other
areas of Europe) by PODS. Unfortunately that echo closed down in 1999,
and is no longer operational.
- World Wide Web sites and pages
- The Temple of Set's "official" World Wide Web site is
http://www.xeper.org/pub/tos/index.html; most sites dealing with the
Temple of Set can be found through links from this site.
- The Order of the Trapezoid maintains its own web site at
http://www.trapezoid.org/
- FIDO/PODS bulletin board systems: There used to be quite a few bulletin
board systems owned and run by Setians, but it seems that all have them
have disbanded or gone to mail-only operations. We also used to host a
Setian Discussions echo, as part of the FIDO and PODS networks. (PODS
is dedicated to Pagan activities and discussions.) That echo is no
longer operational.
