Primary Source on the Temple of Set

Black Magic, the introductory essays to the Temple of Set written by Dr. Michael A. Aquino can be considered a primary source for information on the Temple of Set and Setian practice. From Dr. Aquino's website:

The introductory section of the Crystal Tablet of Set (the volume of the Jeweled Tablets of Set provided to Setians I° of the Temple of Set). This is a summary of the history, principles, and philosophy of the Temple and its initiatory system. While Black Magic was originally intended for Setians only, so many incomplete, inaccurate, and obsolete versions of it have been pirated on the Internet that public disclosure of the complete, accurate, and current text is appropriate. Included with this file is the Temple of Set Reading List (several of whose publications are referenced in the Black Magic text).
