These are practices that can be done almost anywhere at any time & Damien prides himself, as well as the reader on that. Being on death row & having limited access to materials, he has mastered “high magick” in his own way. For someone like myself, who has not really dabbled or practiced energy magick much or at all, I found this book extremely helpful. It is targeted at beginners, but does work its way up to practices that are more advanced. Keep in mind, this book & author are not the only way to practice energy or “high magick.”

The main value instilled in this book is that you do not need anything other than yourself & your mind to practice magick. Your mind, as the author states, is your most powerful tool of all, especially if you take the steps listed in the book to train your thoughts. I myself have always been a skeptic when it came to positive thinking, especially since I identify as a realistic thinker, & Damien, too felt the same & even poked a bit of fun at those who are self proclaimed positive thinkers. He goes into detail that, yes, positive thinking is great, but how you do it to accomplish & manifest your desires isn’t as simple as thinking “today is great!” He couples it with visualization & the power of the mind, seeing an image & manifesting it into fruition.

To sum it up, I highly recommend this book to absolutely everyone, magical practitioner or not. It’s very uplifting & there is a lot to be taken away from it. Plus, if you’re a true crime nerd like myself, his story will both captivate & fascinate you
