Holy Daimon
by Frater Archer
Holy Daimon, the 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 Archer returns to the source, analyzing the daimon as it was experienced in three cultures, Chaldean, Zoroastrian, and Ancient Greek.
These give a necessary overview to contextualize the material that follows, and restores the daimon to its central place in the journey of attainment.
Frater Archer then gives a full account of his own personal communion with his 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 final section of the work, Frater Archer gives his exercises for attaining communion with the daimon; culminating in a fully restored rite from the Greek magical papyri.
Frater Acher is the author of theomagica.com as well as a friend and collaborator of Quareia Magical Training. He has studied Western Ritual Magic in theory and practice at I.M.B.O.L.C. and has been actively involved in magic as a lone practitioner for more than twenty years. His other books include Cyprian of Antioch: A Mage of Many Faces and Speculum Terræ. He lives in Munich, Germany.
