While flipping through the first volume of “The Magickal Link” I came across the following in Vol. I, No 5 May 1981 in the column “Grand Lodge Report”:
A few weeks ago, the Grand Lodge met with the three principal officers of the TEMPLE OF SET. this body has no relationship to Grant’s work or his organization but is a development from S. LaVey’s Church of Satan. The Temple of Set no longer has a relationship with the Church of Satan, either informal or doctrinal senses. The meeting was informational and brought out a number of details that our membership might like to know. The Temple of Set contends that a new Aeon of Set has replaced the Aeon of Horus. This organization possesses incorporation, a detailed and developing study of Liber AL, several holy books of its own and an excellent study course syllibus[sic]. Its membership is nationwide and quite diverse. The three individuals we met were quite polite and entirely civilized. Although it is impossible for any central organization to be entirely responsible for distant members, we believe that the various rumors and stories about negative aspects of this organization are either unfounded or are based on private conduct of unknown individuals not acting on behalf of the organization. thus, although there are very definite differences in doctrine, tradition, and methods of operation between O.T.O. and T’.’S’.’, we are happy to have met these people, and we hope that friendly relations will result. Any future issues of the ML will carry a contact address for this Organization – more later.
