There is a tenet in some magical practices that talks about a witch’s pyramid. In that pyramid’s points are ‘To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Keep Silent.’ It is said that a witch should be willing to keep all those things in balance and to follow the tenets in all they do. The idea of keeping silent is one that has continued across magical traditions, helping practitioners and believers not only with the protection of themselves and the work, but also of the magic they want to bring into being.
