Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Damien Echols presents an unabridged audiobook of the spiritual practices that helped him survive and transcend his ordeal on death row.
 
At age 18, Damien Echols was sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. “I spent my years in prison training to be a true magician,” he recalls. “I used magick—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.” With High Magick, this bestselling author shares his first audiobook on these powerful spiritual techniques.
 
Though modern culture has consigned “magic” to fiction, stage illusions, or superstitions about witchcraft, the magick Damien learned is an ancient Western tradition equal to the Eastern practices of Buddhism, Taoism, and yoga in its wisdom and transformative power. Here he brings you an engaging and highly accessible guide on how to bring magick into your own life, including:
 
• What is High Magick? Damien clears away the stigma and reveals the history and core teachings of this extraordinary art
• The Four-Fold Breath—a foundational meditation practice to train your mind and body to channel subtle energies
• The Middle Pillar—how to bring divine energy into the central channel of your body for empowerment and healing
• The Qabalistic Cross—a centering technique to help you stay balanced and protected regardless of circumstances
• The Lesser Rituals of the Pentagram—powerful ceremonies for banishing negative energies and invoking energy to manifest your goals
• Working with angelic beings and thoughtforms
• Guidance for overcoming your doubts, enhancing your visualization skills, creating talismans, practicing magick ethically, and much more
 
“Magick is a journey,” writes Damien. “It’s a continuously unfolding path that has no end. You can study and practice magick for the rest of your life and you will still never learn everything that it has to teach you.” If you’re ready to discover your untapped potential for co-creating your reality with the energy of the divine, then join this extraordinary teacher to begin your training in High Magick.
 
Read by the author. Foreword by Eddie Vedder.

Goodreads review by Heidi on February 01, 2019

"Magick was out there in the world, and I could learn and practice it! That realization was like a bomb going off inside me. From that moment on, I pursued magick as if my life depended on it (and, in fact, later it did)." pg 11, ebook. Damien Echols has penned a part-memoir/part-magic primer and, I......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on October 17, 2018

When I first took a deep dive into paganism, I read a little bit on whatever I could find. Admittedly, it wasn’t much. After trying to read a few Aleister Crowley books, I quickly determined that ceremonial magick wasn’t for me. The Abrahamic overtones and strict ceremonial structure didn’t jive wit......more

Goodreads review by Rex on March 26, 2019

The only reason I haven't given this a 5 star rating is because it didn't have a bibliography added to the end. Admittedly, Damien did drop a few names of occult authors that inspired him in the acknowledgments section but that's still not the same as a bibliography, which I find extremely important......more

Goodreads review by Lynne on June 24, 2019

This is the best introduction to Ceremonial, or High Magick, that I have come across. The author's practice is rooted in the Golden Dawn version of magic, that was practiced at the turn of the 20th century in Great Britain by some of the best artistic minds of the era, such as the poet W.B. Yeats. Th......more

Goodreads review by Denny on January 11, 2019

Not too many years ago and only after a very long, intense, and difficult struggle, I relinquished all my superstitions including belief in the existence of any form of spiritual or otherworldly realms, planes, or beings. So my initial intent, not long after listening to Echols's introductory chapte......more
