KHPR: The Voice of Darkness

KHPR 011: Yogic Self Transformation

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:39:45 +0000

Today, we are speaking with Adept Clint Kapp, affiliated with the Temple of Set for nearly ten years. Clint is a certified yoga teacher as well, and has been a student of the sciences of yoga for nearly three years. Yoga, in the classical sense, is not a religious practice, and as such, the sciences and disciplines can be used to amplify and accelerate any religious or philosophical convictions and experiences.

Our interview today is about the applicability of yoga as a Left Hand Path practice, and how Adept Kapp uses yoga to intensify his experiences of Setian Initiation.

Adept Kapp’s blog is about Setian and yogic initiatory practices. Please feel free to visit, and questions and comments are always invited.

KHPR 010: Regarding Oneself and the Cosmos: Rational Ethics as the Guide to Well-Being

admin — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 22:29:43 +0000

Today, the last day of 2010 we bring you a lecture that was give by Magister Doug Pridgen at our last Conclave this year. As you might remember, Magister Pridgen did an earlier interview with me on Philosophy. Here’s to the end of 2010 and you’ll be hearing more in 2011!

KHPR 009: Ogham, The Gaelic Magical Runes

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:44:00 +0000

Ogham is a little understood Gaelic written language that was used for magical purposes by the elder Irish. Today we have Priestess Siobhan McGowan and Adept William Melmoth talking about their research with the Oghamic Studies Group, now known as the An Bradán Feasa Element within the Temple of Set. We also go into the usage in magic of Ogham in practical as well as divination that surprisingly is a more modern representation.

KHPR 008: Sex Magic, the in’s and out’s

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:21:56 +0000

Rather appropriately, the day after Valentine’s Day Magister Mark Luskin and I talk about sex magic and some of the odd things about it as well as some of the good things about it. It’s hard for use to stay serious at times, but when it comes down to it, sex in and of itself is a truly magical act. We cover some of the historical inaccuracies, aphrodisiacs and how they don’t work, as well as how you can discover more of yourself by trying a few new things you might not have thought of before.

KHPR 007: Art and Culture in Setian Initiation

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:28:39 +0000

Today I talk with Priest James Kirby, an artist within the Temple of Set who creates many Setian inspired works, such as the Stele of Set that you see on this page. Priest Kirby uses art as a form of magic to inspire and transform himself and those around him while working with stone, metal and multiple media formats to create sculptures and jewelry artifacts that will live on past him. Priest Kirby also talks about the processes he uses to create his art and some of the techniques he uses to replicate the bas-relief work of the ancient Egyptians.

Learn how you can apply art as a method of self transformation as well as visit his website where you can view and purchase some of his creations at www.wulvzwerx.ca which should be up and running in a few weeks.

KHPR 006: Don Webb, Prolific Setian Author

admin — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:29:29 +0000

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Don Webb, former High Priest of the Temple of Set, second Magus of the word Xeper, Grand Master of the Order of Setne Khamuast and the author of many books that bring the teachings of the Temple of Set outside the Temple to the public at large.

Don spoke in great detail about the various aspects of magic that the Temple of Set uses and how they have brought magic into the modern era without the medieval trappings or something as simple as performing a magical ritual while walking through a museum.

He also talks about those not of the Temple who do magical work that they don’t even call magic, such as corporate team building retreats, or the work of Walt Disney creating a world that mesmerizes people who walk through it’s gates to Thomas Jefferson who’s work help build a country.

KHPR 005: Magister Doug Pridgen on Philosophy as an Initiatory Path

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 01:03:41 +0000

Today we talk with Magister Doug Pridgen on how he uses Philosophy in his initiatory path of self-transformation.

Magister Pridgen talk about his initiatory influence from classical philosophers such as Pythagoras, Aristotle and Socrates and how they have effected his life. We also talk about philosophy as a foundation to self-transformation and how it is a necessary tool for Setians to know how to use correctly and not to become “arm chair philosophers.”

KHPR 004: Dr. Stephen Flowers on Runa

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:21:55 +0000

Today we are taking a bit of a different turn. Instead of an interview, KHPR is presenting a lecture by Dr. Stephen Flowers an Ipssisimus of the Temple of Set and the Magus who uttered the word Runa, which means “seek the mysteries.” Dr. Flowers gave this lecture at the recent Conclave held in Austin, Texas and is an accomplished writer of over twenty books on Runa and related subjects.

In 1980 he founded the Rune-Gild, the world’s largest and most influential initiatory organization dedicated to Rune-Work and the Odian path. For more information on Dr. Flowers work you can visit his community website at www.edred.net. Dr. Flowers also hosts the thrice weekly Radio Free Runa podcast on this site.

KHPR 003: Dr. Michael Aquino, Founder of the Temple of Set

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:11:00 +0000

Today I had the rare privilege of having Dr. Aquino in my studio for an interview on the founding of the Temple of Set. During the interview we talk about many aspects of the Temple that he puts into words that people outside the Temple of Set will have no problems understanding.

We speak about the word he received as a Magus—Xeper. What it means and how one applies it as wellas just what exactly Set is. This is a question I receive frequently when people see a reference to Set as a “literal being.”

Dr. Aquino gave a fascinationg interview, one that I would have to say bordered on being a lecture about what the Temple is because I felt it would be best to just sit back and let him talk. My commentary in response to what he had to say was minimal as I just wanted to let him go at it and give us what is locked up inside his brain.

Note to listeners: This would have been recorded better, but I noticed half way through that I had a mic failure and you’re actually hearing him from about three feet away from my mic, but I believe I managed to compensate for it over all in the end, or as they say “it was fixed in the mix.”

KHPR 002: Music and Magic

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:00:22 +0000

Today we’ll be taking a look at music from a Left Hand Path perspective. With me today is Priest Andrew Keller and Priest James Elliot.

•What is the Black Muse Element and why was it created in the first place?
•Muse in relation to the Black Flame
•How the Music of Black Muse is uniquely created
•Music and Magic
•Priest Keller’s uses of Music and Sigils
•Priest Keller’s music inspired by TBoCFbN
•Eric Kauschen’s musical works

Questions for the show:

1. I’ve recently discovered your podcast KHPR and had a few questions for you about the Temple of Set. Would you be willing to address some of these in future podcasts?

2. How rigorous is the entrance process for Temple members? Should I plan on waiting hours, days or weeks before my application is processed?

3. I’ll get to the point here. I’ve a respectable position with a massive, multi-national company that I believe association with the Temple of Set would probably hurt. What steps does the Temple take to ensure my privacy is respected?
