Ritual: An Essential Grimoire

Damien Echols and Lorri Davis share a beginner-friendly treasury of their most valuable practices for weaving magick into your everyday life.

The promise of magick is both simple and extraordinary. Magick can support you in any aspect of life, from helping you succeed in everyday tasks to helping you achieve your most cherished dreams. What’s more, you don’t even have to believe in magick to make it work. The only thing required is regular practice—and the easiest way to practice is to make magickal rituals part of your daily life.

With Ritual: An Essential Grimoire, magicians Damien Echols and Lorri Davis share a broad selection of their most effective rituals, meditations, and prayers—presented in terms accessible to all. “You won’t find a lot of arcane terminology or lengthy ceremonies here,” says Damien. “What you will find are simple practices to develop your own connection to the energy and intelligence of the universe.” 

In this book, you’ll discover:

  • Essential breath and concentration techniques for working with subtle energy
  • Grounding practices to cleanse your body and environment from stagnant energies or thoughts
  • Everyday meditations for improving sleep and dreams, blessing food, inviting abundance, and more
  • On-the-spot practices that include invoking protection, relieving pain and anxiety, and seeing goodness in difficult situations
  • Methods to amplify and reinforce your ritual work with talismans, celestial forces, and angel magick
  • How ritual work can advance your spiritual evolution and openness to divine guidance
  • Moving stories from Damien and Lorri about how magick changed their lives—and how it can change yours

Damien and Lorri learned magick to help free Damien from his wrongful incarceration and 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.”

Angels and Archangels book by Damien Echols

Angels & Archangels: A Magician's Guide

The ultimate goal of working with angels is to become one ourselves. That’s what people actually are―unconscious angels.

Angels do not belong to any one single religion, system, or dogma. They are almost pure energy―the very substance the cosmos is made of. They’re also incredibly willing to work with us if asked. With my new book Angels & Archangels, I present an essential resource for understanding what angels are, how they make themselves available, and magickal practices to invoke their power to transform your life.

For the magician―or anyone seeking to enlist helping forces on the path of awakening―invoking angels and archangels gives you access to incredible potential for manifestation, healing, and spiritual growth. In this lucid and information-packed guide, I share my unique understanding and experience of magickal practices refined in the crucible of my wrongful death row imprisonment.

High Magick Book by Damien Echols

High Magick: A Guide to the Spiritual Practices That Saved My Life on Death Row

At age 18, Damien Echols was sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. “I spent over 18 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 this practice manifested was my freedom.” With High Magick, this bestselling author shares his first book on the powerful spiritual techniques that helped him survive and transcend his ordeal on death row.

“An incredibly powerful book about the power of consciousness and the human spirit to transcend any situation or adversity. Damien spent nearly 20 years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, and if this guy can walk the talk, anyone can.” —Tony Robbins

“Through the practice of high magick, Damien Echols tapped into his soul to find the inner-strength to overcome the appalling injustice that was bestowed upon him. He is an amazing testament to the power of the mind and body, and we’re proud to call Damien our friend.”  —Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne

Damien Echols Life After Death book cover

Life After Death

In 1993, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr.—who became known as the West Memphis Three—were wrongfully convicted of murder. Deemed the “ringleader,” Echols was sentenced to death. Over the next two decades, the WM3 became a worldwide symbol of wrongful conviction and imprisonment, with thousands of supporters who called for a new trial. In a shocking turn of events, all three men were freed on an Alford plea, an unusual technicality whereby the defendants were released but not vindicated, in August 2011.

Now Damien Echols shares his story in full—from abuse by prison guards and wardens, to portraits of fellow inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and perseverance that kept him alive and sane while incarcerated for nearly two decades.

“[Echols] has written a haunting book, and the story it tells is hardly over. He is living out a sequel that is no less strange and magickal than what he has already been through.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Somehow, in the depths of his unspeakable nightmare, he found the courage and strength not only to survive, but to grow, to create, to forgive, and to understand. Life After Death is a brilliant, haunting, painful, and uplifting narrative of a hopeless childhood, a wrongful conviction, a brutal incarceration, and the beginning of a new life.”—John Grisham

Yours for Eternity a Love Story on Death Row

Yours For Eternity: A Love Story on Death Row

After seeing the documentary “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills,” about the West Memphis Three, Lorri Davis—a New York-based landscape architect—wrote Damien Echols a letter. Thus began a 13-year correspondence that witnessed their marriage while Echols was still on death row, and culminated in Echols’ release in 2011. Sharing their private letters, Yours for Eternity is a must-read for the legions who followed the case, as well as anyone who appreciates an extraordinary love story.

West of Memphis

“West of Memphis” tells the untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man. Directed by Amy Berg in collaboration with the multiple Academy-Award winning team of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, the documentary is told and produced by those who lived it - Damien Echols and Lorri Davis. The film uncovers new evidence surrounding the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, and exposes the wrongful conviction of three teenagers who lost 18 years of their lives imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.
