Adam P. Forrest

Editor & Designer

Adam P. Forrest serves, along with Chic Cicero and S. Tabatha Cicero, as a Chief Adept of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an office he has filled for more than 35 years. He is also a priest and steward of the Hermetic Fellowship.

He has been a ceremonial magician since he was a teenager and chalked his first Magic Circle and Triangle in the loft of an unused barn back in Tennessee.

He is a Bakchos priest of Dionysos, and has also served as a priest of Hermēs-Thōth, Apollōn, Hekatē, Jēsous- Osiris, and his own Higher and Divine Genius. 

At the request of Israel Regardie, he contributed a ritual of evocation to The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic (Falcon Press, 1984). He was a regular contributor of articles, rituals, and illustrations to the Golden Dawn Journals, and has also contributed to The Light Extended: A Golden Dawn Journal. Additionally, he provided his translations of two of the Orphic Hymns to Written in Wine: A Devotional Anthology for Dionysos (Bibliotheca Alexandrina, 2008). In 2016, he was invited by Larry L. Roberts to join him in founding Azoth Press. Adam edited, designed, and illustrated A Compendium of Writings on Angels and Other Spirits in Modern Magick (2016). Since then he has edited, designed, and created illustrations for Gateways Through Light and Shadow (2016) by Frater Ashen Chassan/Bryan Garner; Giordano Bruno, On the Shadows of the Ideas (2017) translated by John Michael Greer; and The Dolmen Arch: A Study Course in the Druid Mysteries (2 volumes, 2018 and 2020) by John Michael Greer. He is by vocation a magus and priest, and by profession an editor, graphic designer, illustrator, and writer. Adam lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Isidora, and a black cat named Pyewacket.

Submissions

Magical books are Hermetic and Talismanic Works of Art produced by the integration of well-written, well-researched, and fascinating content with beautiful design and elegant binding.
