If you've ever wondered why there was a flurry of interest in the psychic effects of pyramid structures, this book tells all. Wonderfully written, with details galore, that explore the following chapter titles: The Pyramid: Ancient and New Miracle Worker; The Historical Enigma; Mysterious Energy Fields; Pyramids and Plant Power; Effects on Liquids; Effects on Solids; Healing Powers; Rejuvenation; The Voice of the Pyramid; The Pyramid and Altered States of Consciousness; Esoteric Geometry and Energy Grids; House Experiments; The Pyramid Window to the Universe. The authors write with authority and experience. One of the first books to launch the pyramid craze of the 1970's.

This review is from: Secret Power of Pyramids (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a cute little book for sure. It chronicles the search for pyramid power and the struggle to find out just what makes the pyramid so awesome. According to Schul the pyramid can do all the things listed on the inside flap/book description. There are practical ways to apply this to your life. Food may be kept in custom made pyramid shaped containers, and will keep fresh longer. But to harness the full effects of pyramid power one should live in a pyramid shaped house. A section of photos in the center of this book provides diagrams of the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid, our best template for maximum power, and diagrams of a hypothetical pyramid home.

Throughout the book Schul refers to experimentation by himself and others into pyramid power. Experiments with plants grown in pyramid shaped enclosures have produced some suggestive results. There are also chapters on the effect on solids and liquids of being stored inside pyramids. Here the evidence is vaguer. Case studies replace studies and it more describes an area that could be researched than a conclusive discovery.

The book is overall soft science. To be fair Schul often gives the name of a book, article or person and inserts enough information into the text that the sources could be verified. I prefer to see footnotes or endnotes.

Overall this is an interesting book. It is a bit kooky, but it does raise some interesting points. From the cover illustration showing a naked girl floating inside a mystical pyramid to suggestions on building you own personal pyramid tent for meditation this book is a conversation piece.
