Introduction. Many of the contributions to this volume were originally written for publications within the Temple of Set. There was generally no rhyme or reason as to the subject matter, they mostly represent things which might have caught my fancy as I was doing research on other projects. Each of the contributions has in many ways been edited for a more general readership, corrections have been made, and in many cases the article has been expanded and substantially revised. The article entitled “Offshoots and Parallels of the Lords of the Left-Hand Path” was originally written as the eleventh and final chapter of the book Lords of the Left- Hand Path. (Rûna-Raven, 1997). This chapter was not used in the final version of the book because it seemed that there was a “disparity of magnitude” between the groups and philosophies discussed in the other ten chapters and the ones analyzed in this final chapter. However, there are some interesting ideas contained in this material, which will be found of interest. The text has been somewhat revised and updated since that which first appeared in 1993. The impetus which lies behind the perhaps controversial document entitled “Contra Templum” is the continuing trend of my work being discussed in the context of Setian history and philosophy, when it often has little to do with that philosophy. The “sensationalistic factor” of connecting the object of their study to “Devil-Worship” is often too great a temptation to pass up. I realized that if I were not to make a positive statement to the contrary, scholars who were only looking at biographical details might not be to blame for their misapplications of emphasis. It is from this Need that the document arose. Edred March 21, 2001 Woodharrow. ...
