The Pyramidos Ritual is the central magical ceremony developed by Aleister Crowley for use in his Thelemite magical order A.'.A.'..

Pyramidos: Self Initiation in the Aeon of Horus is the first comprehensive examination of this important magical ceremony and includes details of its provenance and instructions for its performance that have never been available for students of magick before.

Pyramidos explores the sources of Crowley's magick method from its origins in the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the book includes a complete explanation of the first initiation ceremony of that legendary magical order. Pyramidos traces the evolution of the Pyramidos Ritual through its various iterations in Crowley's magical work, and the book includes little known ceremonies from his early effort at forming his own magical style at the beginning of the 20th Century in the Order of the Lamp of the Invisible Light. Other influences on the composition of the Pyramidos Ritual, the Ceremony of the Equinox of the Gods and the Golden Dawn Equinox Festival are also included as references, including the complete text of the ceremony used by Crowley that led to the reception of the Book of the Law in Cairo in 1904 are reproduced in full.

As a foundation for understanding the Pyramidos Ritual, the book examines the symbolism and practical skills used in the Golden Dawn Neophyte Ceremony that Crowley used as the foundation for his own rite of initiation. This detailed examination carries over into a complete explanation of the symbolism of the Pyramidos Ritual and there is a chapter devoted to the practical considerations involved in preparing to perform the ceremony.
