You say this, but HPHC had the following to say about this.
We have to state here that Set is also parallel with Loki in Norse mythology, and that He is the master of darkness and the serpent power.
Yes, thank you for the important addition to my post. It's true.
Although it does not contradict what I wrote for the reasons described in the post itself.
The same Deity can express different Powers and aspects of many Gods.
Spiritual allegories are always very layered. There are also references to Set/Seth being Satan (
SAT). Not literalness. Although it is one of Satan's 7 sons. This is understandable and also has parallels between the images of Satan and Loki. I want to make some clarifications on this subject that have been revealed to me while researching this topic.
Let's start with the fact that
SAT or
SET means
«Truth», means
«God» and in hebrew Kabbalah, which is hidden from the masses, means
«Infinite Light». Satan still technically means
«Truth» but if you break that name down into two, as above, it shows the real nature of Satan as a Being.
Further, going deeper, in the early dynasties of Egypt
SAT or
SATA is Satan who is the King of all Gods. As we know in Sanskrit
SATA is also written as Satan,
the name of the Supreme God and also called the Savior of the Gods. Similar was the case in ancient Egypt. Sometimes in other records
SATA is related to
SET (
God known as Seth, Sutekh, Sitri).
Seth is shown as the Force that guards Ra's ship from Apep (Apop). Which allows the Energy to flow through the Soul. Many authors try to compare Seth to Apep. Some authors try to argue that Seth was turned into an evil Deity later in the Greek and Roman period but we have a depiction of
SETA being worshipped in many Mystery Schools in those times.
Apep (Apop) is simply a symbol of the Soul in a state of Entropy, and SAT or SET is the manifested Force that opens the Soul and liberates it from that state.
SAT or
SET are symbolically shown as ghosts symbolizing their Divine Spiritual Power. The Egyptians depicted perfect humans as having the head of
Set and
Horus (
God known as Gor, Purson) on several Sides. It looks like
Janus.
This is because Seth and Gor are depicted in Egyptian frescoes as the Moon and Sun Channels standing on either side of the Tet column (the spine or Central Channel of the Sushumna). Set and Gor are symbolic of the
Left and Right Sides of the fully opened brain and the
ascended Serpent. The struggle between Set and Gor is the
Adept's effort to merge the Energy into the Central Channel. Now I think you detected very striking parallels between both of his Emanations reducing to each other.
This is not surprising, Satan has so many emanations and aspects expressed through different allegorical images in Mythology.
