About the Witches Pyramid
The Witches Pyramid gives us the four basic "laws" of being Pagan. The traditional form of the Pyramid has four sides, which are "To Know" , "To Dare", "To Will", and "To Keep Silent". The statement "To Know" is the ability to know the Mysteries and secrets of the Old Ways. The statement "To Dare" means to dare to live the Old Ways, to do magick, and to worship the Gods and Goddesses. The statement "To Will" means to will things to happen, to be willing to work magick, worship the Gods and Goddesses, the willingness to change ourselves, and the willingness to teach others who are willing to learn. The statement "To Keep Silent" means to not brag or be boastful about the power you hold and not to out others of the Craft. Also, by keeping silent about your workings you add more power to them and keep out any unwanted influences. By following these four laws, you can come to understand the Deities and the statement of "As above, so below". The Witches Pyramid is a guidance tool to help you along your path to your spirituality.
** This is my personal version of the Witches Pyramid with a brief description of each face.
To Respect: East Face
To Respect reminds us to respect the forces around us. This includes nature, karma, people, spirits, animals, and the God and the Goddess. It also means to respect the forces that we cannot understand so that one day we may come closer to knowing and understanding them.
To Love: South Face
This reminds us to love all things with a full and open heart. It shows that love can help heal the wounds and that the fire of love is reverence to the Goddess and the God.
To Honor: West Face
This reminds us to honor the tings around us. We must honor others, nature, and the God and Goddess. When we honor them in our rites, we become closer to their Divine Essence.
To Understand: North Face
Understanding is the key to all things. We must understand Nature, the forces around us, the Mysteries, the God and Goddess, and the spirits among us.
