High Magick

Description

High Magick by Damien Echols
A guide to the spiritual practices that saved my life on death row

At 18, Damien Echoes was unfairly sentenced to die for a crime he was innocent of. “I spent my years in prison training to be a true magician,” he recalls. “I used magic, the practice of reshaping reality through our intention and will, to stave off incredible pain, despair, and isolation. But the most amazing feat of all that practice and study was to manifest my freedom.”

In this groundbreaking book, the bestselling author shares his insights on the transformative spiritual practice, drawing on his vast knowledge of high magic. He used this spiritual practice to overcome his struggles. Now, you can learn from his experience to transform your own life. He provides straightforward, accessible training on meditation techniques and practices like the four-fold breath, the Qabalistic Cross. His teachings also include relatable insights into lesser pentagram rituals, covering the use of sigils, talismans, and interactions with angelic forces.

“Magic is a journey,” teaches Damien. “It’s a continuously unfolding path that has no end meant for questioners, seekers, and those who desire to peel away the surface of reality to see what lies beneath.” If you’re ready to discover your untapped potential, then join this extraordinary teacher to begin your training in High Magic.
