Description
An intriguing vintage booklet exploring the ideas and experiments surrounding “pyramid power” and the mysteries attributed to the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
Basic Pyramid Experimental Guide Book by Bill Kerrell and Kathy Goggin is an illustrated, experiment-focused publication inviting readers to explore pyramid energy for themselves. The cover describes it as an “exciting illustrated fact filled book” containing dozens of experiments that can be performed at home, and encourages readers to join the growing interest in the mysteries of the pyramids.
The booklet is associated with the 1970s pyramid-energy movement, a period when pyramid-shaped structures, sacred geometry, meditation, alternative energy concepts and other forms of experimental metaphysics were becoming increasingly popular within the wider countercultural and New Age landscape. Kerrell and Goggin were also the authors of The Guide to Pyramid Energy, which is advertised on the back cover of this booklet.
Rather than simply treating the pyramid as an ancient architectural form, this literature explored the idea that the shape of the pyramid itself might have unusual energetic properties. Experiments and claims surrounding pyramid power included subjects such as food preservation, plants, meditation and other everyday applications. These ideas later became part of a much broader culture of pyramid-shaped meditation spaces, energy devices and experiments combining pyramidal forms with other alternative-energy concepts.
This small publication is therefore an interesting example of the early popular literature of pyramid power, capturing a moment when readers were encouraged to experiment with these ideas for themselves rather than simply read about them.
Please note: This particular copy is undated. It was published by Pyramid Power-V, Inc., Santa Monica, California, and is associated with the 1970s pyramid-energy literature.
A fascinating little piece of alternative-culture and metaphysical publishing history — and a wonderful example of how seemingly unusual ideas found their way into inexpensive, illustrated booklets intended for curious readers to take home and experiment with.
