Festival of Set

This ritual should take place indoors during a thunderstorm. It is never a good idea to be outside during any storm activity, so make sure you practice safety above all else. During a storm, you will find that the air is full of power. The God that controls that power is Set, God of Thunder and Master of the Chaos from which our earth was formed. Now is the time to worship Set in all his glory.

Kneel or sit in a dark room, where you can look out a window without having to be right next to the window and watch the storm. This is natures best sound and light show. As the storm is building, allow the powerful forces to enter your soul. Read the following out loud:

A storm is brewing on the horizon.
I can hear the thunder
And feel the electrically charged air,
As it moves ever closer.
The raindrops beat a savage serenade
On the leaves of the trees around me.
The Great God Set approaches.
The thunder increases its tempo
Until it sounds like the pounding
Of the hooves of the thousand horses
Which make up the army of Set.
The lightning flashes,
Sending me to my knees
In praise of this powerful God,
Who rules the storms of chaos.
The wind strengthens,
Making the trees sway in time
To the heartbeat of this Great God.
Dead or dying branches are blown
from the trees to make way
For new growth.
And then, with a crash, an old tree falls,
Making way for 5 young trees to take its place.
The old tree shall lay in silence,
feeding the soil and the forest creatures
as it slowly decays.
Set is working his magic,
Allowing new life to spring forth from death,
Renewing our forests and our lands
Through his Chaotic forces.
Set grabs nature and makes her scream
In pain and pleasure.
Then he moves on
For his work is never ending
And he dare not tarry
In one place long enough
To cause total destruction
As long as even one small breath of life remains
Existence is possible.
And all those who hid from his passion
And screamed in fear of his touch
Shall emerge in sorrow for their loss.
But, those who boldly faced his truth
And cried his name in praise
Shall reap his reward
And be protected.

Breath deeply and count the seconds from the lightning to the thunder. When there is no time in between, the storm is right on top of you, at it’s worst, (or best, depending on your point of view).

Say:

“Great God Set, I praise your names
Lord of Chaos, God of Thunder,
Master of the Red Lands.
I ask that you accept my prayers and praise on this night (or day).
May your name live forever in the hearts of men.”

Use the power within yourself to do some spellworking or divination work if needed.
