A personal symbol of mine is the Alchemical symbol for Black Sulfur centered within a black sun orb with tongues of fire stretching out like tentacles, symbolizing the Black Sun of Eternal Darkness.

For me this symbolizes the balance and protection between male to female symbolizing hell as a great eternal afterlife.

Ronald K. Barrett, speaker of Xem. He painted it himself I believe.

Ronald Barrett?

Supposedly Ronald Barrett was with the TOS for a while till his mind lost it, he tried to plot an assassination attempt I believe on Michael Aquino but he was expelled I believe from the TOS. I've heard he passed away. I do not know a lot about Barrett but I have heard a little bit about him.

I've definitely never heard that. Barret simply made the ToS essentially rhp in black garb in my understanding and all that. You can see the changes he implements in ToS vol. II.

"As High Priest, Barrett envisioned a Temple of Set in which Initiates would be trained according to exacting, standardized criteria. They would have to pass proficiency tests according to a uniform time-schedule. It was not conceivable that someone could stay at, say, the II° level indefinitely; all must move higher, and the goal was the V° for everyone. As the Initiate advanced in degree, he would be confronted more by tests and problems relative to Xem (Barrett’s V° Word) and Per-t (Magus Norton’s Word). Unlike my own Word (Xeper), however, Xem would not be directly explained. Rather one would have to apprehend its meaning indirectly, through various writings which contained both literal and symbolic meanings. "

- Michael A Aquino.

"A Test of Adept Knowledge" in this old copy of the Ruby Tablet seems to lend credence to this. (Edit: I haven't read Aquino's newer books yet.)

It was given to Aquino by the second high priest of the ToS. Totally spacing in his name, @Adramelek knows.

Yes the water color painting you guys are referring to was painted by Ronald K. Barrett Magus of Xem and second High Priest of the Temple of Set, and was presented to the Aquino's as a gift. According to the many articles I've read and inner-ToS sources, Barrett succumbed to the Curse of the Magus. As 1137 pointed out, Barrett as High Priest ruled the Temple with an iron claw, and he eventually succumbed to his own "Id monster".

Leading to Barrett's downfall a I* Setian was living with him and reported to some members of the Council of Nine that Barrett was saying that his Word of Xem must overthrow Xeper and for this to happen the Magus of Xeper Michael Aquino must be "sacrificed". This accusation was found to be true and Barrett was expelled from the ToS along with several of his followers. And apparently some years later Barrett died under mysterious circumstances. "Woe be to the false priest."

Holy crap that's water color? A shame that such talent came at such a cost for him.

Regarding chaos (in its different interpretations), there's also the Ellis Sigil

And, for the gnostics, the eleven-angled sigil

Some people use the phallus, but I can't post a picture of that here. :)
