Cult of Taweret
The Cult of Taweret is a cult within the ranks of the Followers of Set that claims Set's childe Taweret as their patron. Its Founding Temple is the Palaces of Veils in Kharga Oasis in southeastern Egypt. Most Taweretans follow the Path of Ecstasy, instead of the Path of Typhon.
Overview
The Taweretans emphasize liberation through ecstasy and debauchery. Some Setites consider the Taweretans a little too self-indulgent, but these Serpents hold their own view about the best way to oppose the Aeons. They corrupt people one at a time, but show great skill at picking victims whose ruination can cripple a company, pull down a government or otherwise cause public shock and cynicism at the scandal. The Taweretans never operate in groups larger than three: they argue that the Aeons taint any bond not based on personal emotions.
Fifth Edition
The Order of Taweret are founded by a Ba’ham who fled to the Church of Set for protection. Mmebers of the Order are nominally followers of the Church’s doctrine — but they focus on Lilith as Set’s progenitor, and not on Set himself.[1] As a goddess of painful childbirth and funeral rites, Taweret - represented as a hippo-woman in Egyptian mythology - has links to growth and the Underworld, which makes her an obvious avatar of Lilith.
Order devotees keep urban gardens, usually on empty lots or in their apartments. They assist their Church of Set fellows in judging the ethos of humanity — but through this harsh and unforgiving judgment, they find those who have been chosen to walk the Path of Lilith. This is their strongest divergence from Church orthodoxy, the idea that those who suffer in their own imperfection can find a way out, instead of dying in it. Order members are spiritual midwives, torturers, shepherds, and psychopomps. Pain and love are both gifts to be given, and Order members only offer them to the genuinely willing and able.[2]
