Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling 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 best-selling 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.

Editorial Review

I'm also a big fan of finding whatever works for you, be it running, journaling, or magick, which is what former Death Row inmate Damien Echols attributes his survival to. If the words West Memphis Three ring a bell to you, you'll know that Echols was one of the three teenagers who were wrongfully accused of a triple murder in Arkansas in 1993. Having served 18 years of a death sentence for a crime he didn't commit, Echols attributes his freedom to this Eastern tradition of shaping reality through our intention and will. Sounds a lot like the mindfulness trend—and something that will be a go-to conversation topic at my Thanksgiving table this year. —Courtney R., Audible Editor

This Book Can Transform Your Life

The story in this book is very inspiring, and the exercises themselves can change your life. It is presented in a way that is easy to understand. There is so much helpful information in this book. I've been practicing yoga and meditation for many years, and this is one of the best books on energy work that I've ever read. I highly recommend the companion audiobook:
"A Course in High Magick"

Powerful, magical.

I’m constantly adding more knowledge and ideas. This book is the simplest form and tool to adding constant fruition to the process. Pick up this book, reflect on it. Once you begin you will start noticing things such as people nature animals and the way they unveil themselves towards the new you.

best explanation of material. best personal story.

I bought this book because I'm interested in Magick and all things esoteric but after I had to do a double take when I noticed the authors name. "oh he's THAT Damian Echols" this guy knows his material and has had the time to do nothing but practice it. he is a testimony to its legitimacy.

the Realest Magick book I've read

Of all the books about Magick that I've ever read or listened to, this has got to be the realest, the most down to earth one. Damien briefly tells his story, itself a harrowing tale of judicial treachery and abusive authoritarianism, then buckles down to teach the fundamentals of Magick. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the Western Esoteric Traditions. Absolute n00bs and veteran practitioners will all find delight and value from this book.
