This is one man's FAQ document concerning the Temple of Set. Its information is drawn from a number of resources, including electronic discussions, hard copy correspondence, internal Temple of Set documents, etc.

This FAQ is posted monthly to news.answers and alt.answers, and also to alt.satanism, alt.pagan, alt.magick, and alt.magick.order. It's posted less frequently to soc.religion.paganism, the Xepera-l mailing list, and other appropriate forums. It can also be obtained from ftp://ftp.xeper.org/pub/faqs/baltsfaq.txt. IMO the HTML version of this FAQ is much more readable; it can be found at http://www.bigfoot.com/~balanone/baltsfaq.html

This FAQ's answers are intentionally brief and concise, sometimes excessively so, to keep this document's size down. More detailed information is available in the companion document, "Balanone's Temple of Set REF." That REF can be obtained from ftp://ftp.xeper.org/pub/faqs/baltsref.txt. It also has a (more readable) HTML version, found at http://www.bigfoot.com/~balanone/baltsref.html
