Term: Pyramid

DEFINITION:
The origin of the word is debatable, although some have claimed it comes from forms of “pyr,” meaning “fire,” and “mid,” meaning middle, hence “fire in the middle.” A pyramid is the name for any three-dimensional object where the base is a polygon and the sides are triangles which meet at one point above the base. The most common forms have a base with three sides (such as used at the top of the pillars used by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) or four sides. Four-sided pyramids were created in large sizes by the ancients all over the world. The pyramid structures had many purposes ranging from temples to mausoleums. It is believed by some that the angles of the Great Pyramid on the Giza plateau have some sort of power that can be reproduced at any size. Models of that pyramid have been used for such things as improving sleep, intensifying dreams, preventing decay in foods, and even keeping razor blades sharp. Although most archeologists and scholars believe that the Great Pyramid was used as a tomb, questions about the design have led others to claim it was used for initiations into magickal groups or for signaling UFOs.
