Chapter Four: The Witch’s Pyramid
Also known as, the Four Powers of the Witches’ Temple, the Witch’s Pyramid, is the basis for all magickal work, symbolizes the belief that is required to create magick and the traits to be accepted by all witches. It is the learning tool for pupils of the Craft. There are four declarations that epitomize The Witch’s Pyramid: To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Keep Silent. Each one of the influences is linked with a direction as well as an element. Each of these powers can be applied as a way of seeing a method to study. In order for a Witch to have a perfect understanding of anything, all these powers should be present.

It is the will, or self-control when performing with the skills that we have learned. This is the goal both in your magickal and in mundane life. You need to improve your skills as you work with magick. The manner a witch manages their life, their faith and obligation to any spell or ritual that they are performing, it is the ability to increase, achieve, and control the power, and maintain focus and intention. The will (which is associated with Fire) has to do with the absolute belief and energy to manifest the magick. A witch must know how to call and direct energy and work with their inner drive, will, want, and focus which leads to the manifestation. To create magick a witch has to believe explicitly in the magick they are creating. Anyone wanting to manifest understands that his or her will is an important part of magick. The zenith of understanding is Will, and alpha consciousness. True understanding only comes when the Will desires it. This is how short-term cramming becomes long-term information. In addition, some room for creativity is necessary here, because this level of understanding is about action and …show more content…
It is the fourth pillar which is to do with not continuously saying exactly what you know when it comes to witchcraft. Some things are just better off not being said and silently assumed by the individual witch. Because of the reality that you know, you do not automatically have to say it. It also means to think before we speak. This can be one of the greatest challenging pillars to achieve. The spoken word can have such intense effects on others. We must make certain that we choose our words carefully so as not to harm others. At other times, we may need to keep silent with our opinions. There is power in remaining silent. Keeping silent also has to do in addition to the silence within. Being centered and grounded before starting all magickal work is imperative to hold on to a clear intent. When you invoke the gods, a still mind and clear channel is necessary for effective and powerful connections. The same as when invoking and receiving messages, there must be silence to hear the guided wisdom.
This is possibly the hardest part about the learning process. In terms of the Four Pillars when we’re speaking of magick, this is the power of keeping to yourself and not sharing your work with others whose resolve may work against you (because they don’t believe in what you’re doing, they want something totally different to what you want, it’s something they think is wrong, or they don’t believe it will
