View the Full Post & Notes on Urban Odyssey

These documents, authored by Michael Aquino, provide an overview of his work on psychological operations ("MindWar") for the U.S. military and his philosophy and practices within the Temple of Set, a group he founded that emerged from the Church of Satan. The text on MindWar proposes a shift in military strategy toward influencing the enemy's will through psychological means, even suggesting its application to domestic populations. The Temple of Set material introduces its beliefs, structure, and magical practices, contrasting them with conventional religions and other occult traditions, emphasizing the development of the individual psyche and a non-natural approach to reality. The writings explore the concept of the soul, different theories of reality, and the practice of Lesser and Greater Black Magic as means for self-transformation and influencing the world.
