Academic estimates put the Temple of Set at between three and five hundred members, with pylons in the United States, Australia and Europe. It has never sought to be large, and an admission process requiring sustained reading and written work ensures that it will not be.
It is the most intellectually serious of the organisations treated in this section and the least visible. It does not campaign, does not court publicity, and has produced no equivalent of the Baphomet statue or the Satanic Bible; its literature is addressed to members and assumes them.
Its position relative to its neighbours is worth setting out, because the three are routinely confused. The Church of Satan is atheistic and individualist. The Satanic Temple is atheistic and activist. The Temple of Set is theistic and initiatory, and regards the other two as having settled for a symbol. All three reject the accusation that they worship the Christian devil, and the Temple of Set's rejection is the most emphatic, since it holds that identifying Set with that figure is a Christian misreading of an Egyptian god who long predates him.
On the Egyptian material the Temple is candid: it does not claim to be reconstructing the historical cult of Set, which was a state religion of an entirely different kind, and it treats the Egyptian god as the most apt available name for a principle rather than as an object of restored worship. That is a more careful position than most modern orders take about their borrowed antiquity.
Aquino died in 2019. The Temple has continued under successive High Priests, and remains what he built: a small, demanding, literate order that expects its members to write.
