Ronald K. Barrett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald K. Barrett (September 29, 1944-June 27, 1998) was the High Priest of the Temple of Set from March 15, 1979, until his resignation in May, 1982 [1]. He lived in Potter Valley, California.
Barrett made several changes to the Temple of Set, including instituting exams for advancement from one degree to another. His chief contribution to the Temple was his use of the word "Xem". "Xem" is an Ancient Egyptian word meaning "state of being". He stated that it was the progressive aim of "Xeper", the Ancient Egyptian word meaning "to become", which is the central concept of the Temple of Set [1]. Barrett resigned from the Temple amid controversy and was followed by Michale Aquino, who reclaimed the rank of High Priest of Set. Barrett died in 1998.
