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.

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.

We so often feel like our lives are beyond our control, so how can it be true that we somehow create our reality? The Western tradition of magick tells us that our thoughts and intentions do shape the world-and that ritual is one of the most effective tools for becoming conscious participants in our own destiny. "Ritual teaches us that we are never truly powerless," says Damien Echols. With Ritual: An Essential Grimoire, he joins his wife and teaching partner Lorri Davis to bring you an invaluable collection of practices for daily use. Magickal ritual goes beyond creating good habits or routines. Each practice Damien and Lorri share is a grounding point that enables divine energy to enter the physical world-uniting earthly efforts with the unseen forces of creation. This grimoire (or book of spells) contains rituals and meditations for protection, joy, love, luck, prosperity, creativity, and spiritual insight-all presented in plain, accessible language that anyone can use. Damien and Lorri used magick to help them get through the most trying times-to help free Damien from his wrongful incarceration, then to help both of them heal from the traumatic aftereffects of his imprisonment. "Many of these rituals are the very same we used to rebuild our lives," Lorri says. "We share these practices in the hopes that you will use them to survive, thrive, and create the life you desire."
