Has anybody visited the tunnels of Set? I was planning to do so after I succeed in Evocation.

Yes. I’m giving you fair warning, if you haven’t succeeded in evocation yet, you’re a long way off from mastering those forces. Suicide is a very real possibility, even for adepts.

I don’t know about Choronzon or Daath, at least by those names, but what I do know is that to absolutely and utterly lose hope, over and over again, having it crushed from you so that you’re in absolute despair (and not simply throwing a petulent moue of discontent, expressing your pique to concerned onlookers for effect, until the next external thing comes along to light up your face) is an essential step in becoming – whatever. A “magician,” or “living god,” or whatever else.
Without it, you’re still the property of the external things, the hope-givers: be they security, family, lovers, external ideals, or whatever. You are a puppet.
But if you can face that down and not let it MEAN anything – gaze into the abyss, and realise that bitch in all its howling absence, ugliness, and void, is simply your own reflection – then you become in your heart unfuckable by any manifest thing whatsoever, if you’ll please pardon my language.
Being crushed utterly and stripped of the notion that anything external gives a fuck about you, is the path to liberation – then, and only then, can you choose your values and your obligations, knowing both “they” and the “you” who adores them are ultimately illusory, games, toys, and that there is No Thing, nothing whatsoever, that’s real, solid, reliable, or holy.
I was “lucky” to have this as a kid, and to have to decide upon making up my own reality from that point, and then when I had my RHP era (really, in some ways, I guess trying to return to that void of all meaning) I figured out that I was going to stick around and fuck with the “reality” a little, tidy it up and make things more as I wanted them to be. 
Today is a great day to face down that darkness for a lot of people, because it’s a day that exhalts, on the surface, the “need” for close ties to loving & supportive family and amicable friends and neighbours, plenty of good food and drink, and who’s to pretend any of those are ever a problem for anyone – and all the hollow consumerism and schmaltzy kitsch glam of the holiday.
And those things (well, barring schmaltz, and kitsch, for me) – are all great – they are toys, trophies, and baubles.
But the heart of the holiday our ancestors celebrated in the darkest point of the year was about the triumph of the will, the creation of willed systems (not blind chance, mute obligation, or pathetic begging) to manufacture a life, a present and a future, FROM nothing, GIVEN nothing, simply by virtue of desiring it and relying upon themselves to make it so, by any means necessary.
This is the time of year when we CHOSE what to care about.
The farmers, and prior to that, hunters of our past are long gone, and our darkness, and the chill that can kill us, is usually different to theirs, but we MUST face it and realise we stand entirely alone, unloved, devoid of meaning, stripped of any kind of kinship or relevance whatsoever, with our ancestors dust and our descendents uncreated – and, no “God the Father” nor loving Gaia who will save you from so much as a runny nose.
There is no Faith.
There is no Hope.
There is no Charity – and no ties or liberation, no gods and no flesh, no end and no beginning.
Everything you think exists is speeding, hurtling, towards decay, dust, ashes, extinction. Entropy is the only law of all now-created forms. Every happy memory you have is lost to oblivion, and will never return.
There is only YOU.
Be in that moment, and know that the only living feeling observing thing in all of the land, all of the cosmos, all that ever was or even can be – is YOU.
What fun you can have, once that’s sorted out!

Thanks for your concern. I have read Liber 418(Vision & the voice) and I know about the consequences. My plan is to first master evocation then do the gatekeeper rite and I’m sure that’ll make me strong enough to pass the abyss.

Yes.
See, most so-called “adepts” tend to warn off using these forces until you are a master.
These individuals don’t understand what they’re talking about.
The stages of development that can be brought on by a current such as the Qliphoth are, as Eva points out, necessary in order to shed one’s programming. This is the Tower balanced, as the death of the old self leads to the creation of the newer, stronger self.
Magic is not meant to be wielded by all people, at its highest levels of power. You will be filtered according to how much you can handle, period. There is magic one will never discover, simply because they are too weak. The possibility of their conscious interaction with the forces in question is cancelled.
The capability and accessing of the states which shed the self come first in the process of actual evolution, not this “training” hogwash, and not last.
It is a trial, a test. So is life.
To move beyond the old life, one must first break it down. Those that can’t take the heat, are engineered out of the kitchen. Those that are kicked out, didn’t belong in strength to begin with.

as someone who holds the priesthood of SET i can tell you firsthand that this is total nonsense.
where to begin on this bullshit blogpost… OK first of all the pathways of the Qliphoth are NOT governed by SET. to say so is VERY disrespectful to the beings that actually govern over them.(asking for trouble)
that guy goes into various prayers and rites that HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SET WHATSOEVER! and still he uses the name to…i dont know, give gravitas to his claims? “in the name of horus”…give me a break.
the way the information is presented is disrespectful, ignorant, and will likely lead to you being decived by the forces and spirits of the Qliphoth. i think this person(god i want to insult him…damn forum rules) lost his mind in the abyss and never got it back.
a word from SET: “do not believe everything that my name is attached to. many used it as a way to proclaim some sort of legitimacy. I USED THEM to keep my name from being forgotten. CHAOS infects the minds of those who speak of me and my name falsely…they think it is power. HAHAHA such is foolishness and they shall be struck down by damnation of their own mental creation”
am i denying the existence of the pathways of Qliphothic energies? HELL NO! but don’t drag SET’s name into this, he has almost nothing to do with it.

Oh really? SET told me the exact opposite of that, ain’t it funny how he works? =D
Last year i asked SET, “who are the spirits that serve you”, i was expecting to get the names and maybe sigils of ones i had never heard of, And who showed up? Naamah and the others followed her. I knew of Naamah and the qliphoth before that but had no plans or desire to work with her or it and i only heard of this tunnels of set back in december…How very interesting.
I have held back about speaking of my working with Set because what would be the point? He deliberately tells different things to different people, and he has a good reason for doing it, i’d say what that is, but why ruin the surprise or spoil the fun? And being disrespectful is a big part of what he does, Set will walk up and shit all over anyone’s cheerios if he had a mind to, who the hell is going to stop him?
Once an association is made to Set and something else and is put out in whatever you want to call it, the collective unconscious, ether, astral plane, Set will claim it as his own, again who’s going to stop him? Me? You? That little bitch horus? I do not think so.
But who cares, i don’t and Set really dosen’t give a fuck, so think as you will, believe as you will, do as you will, as long as it works.

all is bound to chaos
This will probably seem absurd. I could be wrong and welcome correction, but reading in between the lines, and I mean no arm-chairing here, but can’t the tunnels be seen as a forced evolution of sorts? Also, I will assume many individuals who enter sorcery and magick are not what one would label as wholly balanced or stable individuals ( hence we use ritual to balance ourselves because societal measures ALWAYS FAIL) , so couldn’t this be used to force one to a balance?
Also was under the impression one has to go from the 32nd path to the first, implying no tunnels, no Qlippoth. Is this an accurate assessment? I assumed one has to go from 32 Thantifaxath to 1 Thaumiel… Have been told before the traversing of the tunnels is a form of destruction of self , but what is self really? And is that not the point? To strip away the human baggage to enter into and become other? Really can’t find being a meatsack that functions from sheer autopilot to bored disinterest in the day to day mundane drivel as being the answer to happiness in life…
I could be wrong (or maybe I’m not competent at this, although the experiences thus far are convincing me there are intelligences who will interact with you, aside from making the perception of one’s own body seem …permanently different …i mean u will kinda know its them) . Wont go into the reasons to move from 32 to 1 Thaumiel (personal matters being best left as such) , but isn’t the air of fear and warning more or less tools used from those of a different ideology (lhp vs rhp) as a means of preventing FREE ACCESS to something that may be tremendously empowering…That is if this isn’t all just a self delusion building head trip. What I’m getting at is , is the fear being used to keep traversal obscure to just a few? I have no doubt forces that are caustic and very very very intimate are not to be toyed with like a Saturday night of fun with Oija board and friends…One feels a sort of like crashing waves within them even if one is dead still… Occurences that seem to force change seem to come fast, and unpredictably , but this too can be a delusion created by a desire to believe the thing is what it is written to be.
Have to resurrect this because there is a very large interest in this. So far have been using data written by Grant, and also data put out by V.K. Jehannum to form the ritual structure. I am inclined to ask knowing someone else out there has to be traversing the tunnels or in the very least evoking the Sentinels of the Tunnels of Set. As for who or what they really are, I DO NOT KNOW. I know what others write about them, but the nature of them ( or any god, demon, entity, insert type here) be a mystery (or rather nothing that we humans as a species have worked with ever had to tell us the truth…so how would we know…) I digress. Am interested in other’s experiences on the matter…Have any of u passed through them all? What did u feel? What did u gain? What did u lose? I’m not convinced by those who equate it purely to self destruction, especially considering there are things one has to let go of to free space to move on and evolve…
Any responses have my gratitude.

I provided the sigils as traditionally described by Grant. Took time. Figured creating them using the hexadecimal values for each color via photoshop with backgrounds resembling surfaces they are to be painted on work as good as painting them on something…room did see alot of activity uploading them. My question about Karlsson’s sigils woulld be as to whether they are to be taken as is or are to be pained on the same surfaces and in the same colors that Grant’s sigils would be. I’m certain having both versions of each sigil could only magnify the working ( more artifacts the better) .
About the only reason this deviant account exists is for this. Enjoy them if u want or make ur own, or whatever :D. Alls well when it’s fun. Didn’t opt to but the tarot by Falorio because the act of replicating each sigil digitally for me was intimate, and the sigils as described seem art enough (even though the art in the background is really pretty) .
Still more or less using V.K. Jehannum’s resources as a guide. Did this a year ago and made a rookie mistake of starting from Amprodias with no resources other than Nightside of Eden, and assumed I only needed to achieve an altered state rendering myself temporarily unconscious over them…which was a disaster …i will never disclose…I was new to it then and didnt understand the real concept of inversion as relates to the Qlippoth…Feel free to use it if u want.

The Gods of the Tunnels of Set purge all light to let the darkness corrupt the planes of existence and the Chaos to grow.

I would like to know how one even goes about traversing the tunnels with all of the diagonal paths. (The knowledge will come in handy once I’m prepared to embark on the journey.) E.g. if I am ready to move onto Gamaliel (9) from Nahemoth/Lilith (10), I would take path 25, that of Thantifaxath. However, say I finish Lilith’s sphere and am ready to move onto that of Adramelek (Samael (8)). I would take the path of Raflifu (30), but then, I would be skipping Shalicu (31)?
The same goes for transitioning from Samael to A’arab’zaraq. I take path 27, but miss 28 and 29. I’m a tad confused here and could use a hint or two — which would be massively appreciated.
