We spoke about The Witches' Pyramid last time. This time,
we're talking about how to get the most if its (and your)
power.
So often, new students ask questions that begin with "What's a good
spell to do...?", or "how would you use magick to...?" and so one
of the first things I usually do with those who learn from me is
make a comparison between someone who cooks burgers at a local
fast-food franchise, and a top chef.
The burger-flipper knows how to follow instructions in preparing
pre-manufactured ingredients into something you and I are supposed
to be able to eat. Most openings for such jobs do not have
too stringent qualification requirements, and pay starts somewhere
in the neighborhood of minimum wage.
It takes years to make a chef, and a chef knows food well enough to
create recipes as needed, and make variation as required by
occasion, need and availability. While a shortage of some key
ingredient will inspire the chef to be creative to meet needs in
spite of the shortage, the burger-flipper might only know that
there's no point in asking if you want fries with that if a potato
shortage means that fries are not available.
Likewise with a Priestess or Priest. It is entirely proper
that learning begins with learning how to do something from someone
who already knows how to do it. But eventually, this learning
creates an assimilation of principles which will give you the
ability to create on your own.
And this is when it gets good - when it's uniquely and specially
yours. You'll see. It's here.
Blessed Be!
