To Be Silent: Speak not of your magick doings to others lest they
seek to undo them. Take care in what you say as we
attract that which we speak of. Silence yourself to hear
your inner voice or divine instructions. Do not reveal
you magick before it is done so as not to dissipate it's
power or effectiveness. Listen much - talk little.
