Hello lightbeing one and all I emplore you my journey has gone from one thing to the next I went to visit my father (a soul conetent currently on lifing fostering hatred over anything else...while I spent time with him I felt negative vibrations rubbing onto my very being as I slowly was shredded from my inner piece I faught against him and left not just 4 days of being there this is the thing however... before even speeking to him I had a desire to get intouch with crystals for balancing my energies...now with that a long story short my father gave me him collection and after abit of me revealing what and how extreme my path has been opening up letting go of my brains programmed notches of happit letting events have impact on my being i allow the event to effect the eye the heart the me... as we all do this is why anger is in the world today... anyway he gave me a book on The Book Of Ceremonial magic.. its of the rights and mysteries of the goetic theurgy, sorcery and infernal necromancy...its for the student of the occult and the black arts.. origional secrets of the occult Signs, Symbols and talismans of both white and black magic its devided into two parts the literature of ceremonial magic and the complete Grimore... now at present letting tgo of everything in my thaughts worries doubts feers its been a struggle reprogramming my bain however I have come to fruition that it can be done through a discipline direction... today I looked at a logo with a pyramid got a click tho different my very cerebral awareness is there and my very self is like that of the pyramids... I have yet to attune myself with powering up my chakras and becomming totally aware of them and controle them like a musscle nothing more removing the impulsive thaught is a struggle but like everything a endeering challenge... until i am like an obilesk I will not even touch the Book of Ceremonial Magic its very vibrations are intesnce and dark there is practices of White Magic there as I mentioned hoever I know within me lies a lust for power until i am fully aware of my inner deamons I will never touch such a Book... also on a final note my father is the only one left alive who was into "this stuff" everyone on my dads side is no longer with us all died in unessessary sircumstances i emplore you guys for further training material as I need as much knoledge as I can get my hands on I follow a compassionate life today through awareness I have become aware that it what we are not aware of we dont have controle over. ~ namaste brothers and sisters

Very interesting post there and one that I can shed some light on for you. I hope what I say helps you some.
Within everything we have duality both lets say for this post 'black and white', to know one you must know the other so that you gain a balance between the two. When you study magickal arts it is always good to learn both sides of the equation so that through that study you will know the truth and also gain the strength spiritually to always look at both sides and to be wise in all you do. But everything cant be white as this is not balanced and not everything can be black as again there is no balance so you must find your middle path and follow that with a loving heart always never to change any ones free will, or harm anything or anyone. ‘Harm you none, do what tho wilt’
You mentioned the pyramid, well this has a greater meaning in the magickal arts. The Witch's Pyramid is known as the four Powers of the Magus or 'the Four Secrets of the Sphinx', whose energy is considered to be the foundation and four pillars of all practical and esoteric magick. Whether you are coungering the weather for a great day at the beach or concentrating on empowerment the witch within, the basic building blocks are always the same: To Know, To Dare,To Will, and To be Silent, known in some craft circles by their Latin names as Noscere (to know),Representing the elements of air:Audere (To dare), designated by the element of water; Velle (to will) stands for the element of fire; and Tacere( to be silent) linked to the element of earth.
The most difficult lesson to learn of the four corners is the last, to be silent. There are witch's who have been in magick for twenty yrs and still haven't learned that one!
When the four powers are gathered together, then the fifth sacred power occurs, that of quintessence, or the spirit, which represents the top of the pyramid, sometimes called IRE, meaning 'to go'- the movement of energy towards manifestation guided by the hand of the witch. Without this solid foundation (the four corners of magick, not to be mistaken for the for the four elemental quarters, though the association can be considered),the cone of power will stutter and fall and the enchantment will break apart before it can reach your desire. The Oath you take upon seeking entry into the craft, whether you are doing the seeker ceremony, a dedication, or an initiation, rests entirely on the foundation of the witch's Pyramid!
To know means that you will strive to learn as much as you can in this lifetime and that you will apply this knowledge to your daily life. It also means that you will seek truth in all things and be willing to change your perceptions to meet your awakening spirituality.
To Dare says that you have pushed fear behind you and that you will be courageous and proactive in all that you do. You will believe in yourself and have faith in the universe and in your own abilities.
To will means that you will learn to focus your thoughts and practice meditation and visualization in order to reach your goal. It means that you won't sit back and let the world pass you by-you will work towards your dreams. You will meet obstacles and find positive solutions to overcome them.
To Be Silent is, perhaps, the most important. It means that you will keep your mouth shut about the magick that you do..(as I do!) , lest your friends and others destroy the magick with their negativity before it even manages to manifest. It also means that you will think before you speak, and that you won't throw pearls before swine (which means don't give good information to bad people). Finally, it means that you will follow the etiquette of the craft and not blab about what happens in ritual circle ( i do not work with a group as I am a solitary witch so this doesn't apply to me).
To Go means that you will master the four pillars (energies) of the base of the pyramid and use them in a positive way to help yourself as well as others. To Go is the ultimate meaning of The witch's Oath of Service.
Not only must you begin by studying and believing you can do anything, you must end that way as well. faith followed by magick followed by faith.
I hope this makes some sense but by watching the link at the beginning of this post you may understand more.
