Set

the red lord of storm and desert

fire

Set is the necessary chaos, the storm at the edge of the ordered world who both murders his brother and defends the sun-boat from the serpent; to dream of him is to meet the wild part of yourself that destroys and also protects.

Fragments

Yet each night he stands alone at the prow of the sun's boat, spear in hand, and drives back the great serpent so that dawn may come at all.

He is the sandstorm that erases the road behind you and the red land where nothing grows, the brother whose envy first taught the world how to murder.
