James, I cannot thank you enough. The advice you have given me is invaluable.
I am with a lineage of the A.'. A.'. but my Zelator/Superior is unable to advise me at this time for personal reasons but when He is able then I am sure I can be advised further on matters such as the secret word of the Neophyte.
I intend on acting it out numerous times before I perform it proper but I just wanted to get a few things straight even before rehearsing it.
The manuscripts I have been using are the ones that are freely available online but the one I have been referring to most of all is the key entry by Frater T.S. for NIWG / Celephaïs Press. With regards 'Rubric' it is written like this;
'Asar! Who clutches at my throat?
Who pins me down? Who stabs my heart?
I am unfit to pass within
This Pylon of the Hall of Maat.
(Rubric as before)
The Lustral Water! Let thy flood
Cleanse me—lymph, marrow, and blood!
The Scourge, the Dagger and the Chain
Purge body, breast and brain!
The Fire Informing! Let the Oil
Balance, assain, assoil!'

The Greek pantheon retrofit for Pyramidos is very helpful so thank you for providing it. I very much look foward to studying it as much as I have the Egyptian form. I am tempted to work with this one also as the Greek pantheon holds slightly more appeal to me than the Egyptian. I am not sure if my superior would recognise it however.
Again, I cannot thank you enough bows.

I am soon to be going through the self initiation of Liber Pyramidos but there are certain things that I am unsure about so I thought I would consult those here that have either been through it or know a little more about it than I do.
I guess I should list here the things I am unsure of:
Invoking Spiral Dance: Is this spiralling clockwise while also circling clockwise or are there a couple of different ways it should be done?
The secret word of the Neophyte: I have seen it written as M....M and I have seen it written in its entirety. Is it what I think it is?
Cutting the cross on the chest and drawing blood: How necessary is this?
Anointing the wounds: Would this be, the forehead, chest and buttocks?
Magickal Motto: When giving this as in 'Speak fair words for ... May he flourish' would it be ones 0=0 motto or ones chosen 1=10 motto?
Rubric: What does this mean exactly? Is it to repeat a certain section, if so, which one?

I would also like to know how it is to be performed. Is it just the one time or should it be performed at the beginning of a week and then doing some dedicated practice for a week and then ending with Liber P or should it be performed every day for at least a week?
I have have searched high and low for detailed information on Liber P but have found very little so any advice that can be provided to me will be very much appreciated.
