Bending Reality: Inside the Witches' Pyramid
What if magic isn’t about eye of newt or bubbling cauldrons, but a rigorous system of psychological hacking? In this Deep Dive, we unpack Paul Huson’s 1970 counter-culture classic, Mastering Witchcraft, and explore the mental framework known as the Witches' Pyramid.
We break down how Huson treats the occult less like supernatural worship and more like "method acting" for the mind. From the concept of "Virulent Imagination" to the audacity of "Temporary Megalomania," discover how 1970s occultists trained their brains to delete doubt and bend reality.
Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this episode reveals how the four cornerstones of the pyramid—Imagination, Will, Faith, and Secrecy—can be applied to mundane life, from acing job interviews to unlocking creative potential.
