Narrado por: Damien Echols

Learn to call on the divine assistance of angelic forces to shape your life and accelerate your spiritual practice in this in-depth guide from Damien Echols.

“The ultimate goal of working with angels is to become one ourselves. That’s what people actually are—unconscious angels.”
—Damien Echols

“Angels do not belong to any one single religion, system, or dogma,” teaches Damien Echols. “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 Angels and Archangels, this bestselling author presents 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, Damien shares his unique understanding and experience of magickal practices refined in the crucible of his wrongful death row imprisonment. Here you’ll discover:

• A clear presentation of angels and archangels as they have been honored in mystical traditions for thousands of years
• The names and qualities of individual angels and archangels, as associated with the elements, the Zodiac, the Tree of Life, and the Tarot
• Foundational practices and meditations for building your skills with magick
• How to call on angels for blessing, protection, invocation, the creation of talismans and sigils, and more
• Advanced angel magick rituals, including the Rose Cross, the Celestial Lotus, and the Shem Operation
• The Holy Guardian Angel—the key contact for stepping into your true nature beyond ego consciousness

“When working with angels and archangels,” says Damien, “I’ve come to realize that they don’t carry out the tasks we charge them with just because we ask them to—they do it because they perceive the divine within us.” Angels and Archangels is an essential resource for every magickal library, an invitation by one of the most exciting modern teachers of the art to discover the enormous potential waiting for your call.

Wonderful Follow Up to “High Magick”

This is an incredibly valuable book. I suggest buying the physical copy as well as the audiobook. Damien’s voice is so calming and soothing, too. I can’t wait for the next one :)

Angels live

Angels live in I/You/We now. Damien's portrayal of practice and experience brings real to reality. Enjoy!

Occult Angels

Regardless of your own religious or spiritual background, Echols provides a great approach to working with these powerful forces of the universe which have been invaluable allies to the magician and the witch throughout history. He gives a quick run-down of the importance of angels in the world’s mystical traditions from the earliest civilizations to now.

In Angels and Archangels, Echols approaches foundational concepts and practices in the Western Occult Tradition and how angels can be worked with on various levels and degrees of one’s life and magickal practice. The book examines how to work with angels and archangels as an entry point and builds to semi-intermediate occult practices including the LBRP, the Rose Cross and the Shem Operation. There’s also discussion of the Holy Guardian Angel in Western Occultism and how working these ceremonial practices helps one to come closer to their HGA and building and strengthening the magickian’s Light Body.

Echols provides fascinating perspectives related to the archangels that I have never come across before. He also shares some really unique adaptations and purely original techniques and practices that he developed on death row when falsely convicted during the Satanic Panic era, as well as ones he’s developed and modified since through his own personal practice. While still extremely approachable for the beginner, this isn’t your run-of-the mill sugar-coated Hay House book on angels, and is a fantastic book that belongs on every aspiring magickian’s bookshelf, and is one of the eight books that I recommend to witches looking to learn High Ceremonial Magick.

listen to it nightly

this book is so chock full of information that I listen to it nightly and still learn something new. Even more, I practiced his rituals, invoked angels I needed, and WOW. Within 2 to 3 days, amazing progress and proof that this works. Will use this forever and learn more.

Great work

Excellent interpretation of angel magick using the core principles and explaining them in a concise real world clear functioning picture. It shifted my perceptions and work with angels instantly in a very enlightened way. Helped give my sound healing work a new framework to set among my own sound and energy healing practice. I am interested in the follow up book as well as the seraphs were first found from historical data in Ancient Mesopotamia.
Interesting to note as a sound healer, I am grateful to have his audiobook to really hear from his voice, when toning the names, because you can tell the authenticity from his intonations. Great book! -Brien Egan
