 DEVIL WORSHIP
Set was perceived as being a very carnal and indulgent force (even though He was seen as infertile, He nonetheless had quite a reputation for chasing after members of both sexes), which of course lends itself easily to the idea of the Devil as the God of this World.
Set was also God of foreigners, foreign lands and foreign influences, as was particularly believed by the Egyptians when their country was invaded by the Hyskos (who recognized Set, by the name of Sutekh, as their supreme god).
Set was originally perceived by the Egyptians as the one deity who was powerful enough to defend the Sun God Ra from the dragon of darkness, Apep, during the sun's nocturnal journey through the underworld.

 Commentary on Psalms - Volume 2 | Christian Classics Ethereal Library
He had no sensible evidence of their approaching destruction but from the firm reliance which he exercised upon the promise, he was able to anticipate the coming period, and resolved to wait for it with patience.
Though God might make no haste to interpose, and might not scatter his enemies at the very instant when he prayed, he was confident that his prayers would not be disappointed: and his ground for believing this was just a conviction of the truth, that God never frustrates the prayers of his own children.
The repetition adds an emphasis to the sentiment, intimating, that though God delayed the sensible manifestation of his favor, and might seem to deal hardly in abandoning him to the word — giving him nothing more, he was resolved to glory in it with undiminished confidence.

 The Phoenician and Hebrew God Set or Seth
Traces of this God are found in all oriental countries; and in the most primitive religions, whose traditions are still extant, he (or she) appears as the supreme God.
In the history of the god Seth is to be found a clue to the way in which the sublime and philosophical doctrines of the ancients, after their true meaning was forgotten, were finally changed so as to conform to the enforced humiliation and degradation of women.
Later in the history of Egypt, when the gods have become greatly multiplied, and the original significance of the deity obscured, Horus, the child and the third member in the later Egyptian triad, not unfrequently appears in her place as one of the eight great gods.
