Origin of Term
There is debate over who coined the term "pyramid power." Author Max Toth has claimed he coined the phrase, as has Patrick Flanagan. In the 1970s, both authors released books entitled Pyramid Power. This led to a lawsuit by Flanagan against Toth, according to Toth.
However, the term in the context of its current usage first appeared in print in Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder's 1970 book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain. They claim the term was coined by "Czechoslovakian researchers" in the 1960s.
