Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

Closely related to the triangle is the pyramid. One author writes: “The pyramid has a close relationship in symbolic significance to the triangle. Indeed, the pyramid is shaped in triangular form. A number of New Age communities and groups, such as the Institute of Healing Sciences in New York, have erected pyramid-shaped structures. Some New Age churches display small pyramid replicas on their altars.

“New Agers believe in pyramid-power. Some wear miniature pyramids on chains to bring positive energy forces into their bodies; others make cardboard pyramids and place them into close proximity with foodstuffs, believing in the curative and preservative powers of pyramids.” [Emphasis in the original] We can see that the triangle represents pagan gods and has a sexual connotation. When the upward triangle and the downward triangle are joined, it forms the hexagram or the six-pointed star. We will cover this symbol in the next chapter.
