Folks who worship Set: what is your take on this current era of politics/world events and Set as a force of chaos?
My patron deities are Sobek and Djehuti, and I’m also an occult practitioner so my understanding of Set is partly shaped by his role in other traditions. I’m hoping to hear from people who actually worship him/work with him.
In my understanding, Set is very much associated with chaos. I understand that the idea of Set as a “villain” isn’t accurate, even though he is the adversary of the other Netjer in the Contendings story.
Set seems to be very popular here, and for whatever reason, many people seem to be drawn to working with him in this particular time. Given how chaotic world events/politics have been for awhile now, I’m wondering if any followers of Set see this as part of their call to worship him.
I absolutely don’t want to demonize Set - I don’t see him as evil or bad, but given his connection to forces of chaos, I’ve been wondering whether people who work with him see his role/see him as a part of this chaotic time in world events.
Do you see your call to Set as connected to this current era in human history? How do you see His role/influence/archetype participating in world events, if at all?
I’d welcome any thoughts and musings from followers of Set/anyone who works with him! 💗
