Holy Daimon is issued in a new edition, with 18 illustrations by Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. This first volume of Frater Acher’s Holy Daimon cycle is the result of more than ten years of ritual and theoretical magical research, and is comprised of three parts: History, Memory and Practice, providing a well-grounded introduction, as well as a practical path to creating communion with one’s holy daimon.
Rather than drawing on Abramelin or Crowley’s Liber Samekh, Frater Acher returns to the source, analysing the daimon as it was experienced in three cultures, Chaldean, Zoroastrian and Ancient Greek. These give a necessary overview to contextualise the material that follows, and restores the daimon to its central place in the journey of attainment.
Acher then gives a full account of his own personal communion with his holy daimon. As a magical record of a modern practitioner it is an important testimony for those embarking on the path, and a rare account given the secrecy within which most practitioners operate.
In the third and final section of the work Acher gives his streamlined exercises for attaining communion with the daimon; culminating in a fully restored rite from the Greek Magical Papyri.
Whilst the author’s focus is on enabling hands-on magical work, the book is not a traditional grimoire or grammar of magic; the work is of a deeply mystical nature.

Verified ownerThis book is not a casual read, nor is it for the faint of heart or the weekend magician. However, there is no dogma, no "holier than thou" attitude- this is the story of one man's search for his Holy Daimon. It also provides an historical perspective and practical guidance for those on a similar path. I found it fascinating, terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Verified ownerThe pictures don't do this masterpiece of publishing justice! It is flabbergasting and ecstatically beautiful. Additionally, the content. Frater Acher reminds us all that the Way is not always the popular one en vogue but is often found off the beaten path, on older near forgotten paths. His integration of modern knowledge and ancient wisdom shows his understanding of how hermeneutics inform praxis -- the cycle from theory to practice and revision. This is an already famous masterpiece and the new art by Sabogal is some of my favourite this creative genius has yet gifted us. May the serpent bite its tail, doch!
