The Rooted Flame - A Goêtic Grimoire

The Rooted Flame - A Goêtic Grimoire

By Frater Acher

Foreword by Harper Feist

Illustrated by José Gabriel Alegría Sagobal

The Rooted Flame appears as the culmination of many of Acher’s earlier works. It carries forward the heart-flame first kindled in Rosicrucian Magic and Holy Heretics. It continues the path begun in Holy Daimon, now stepping out into the open field of our familiar spirits. It is also a direct sequel to Ingenium: where that book prepares the inner self for spirit work, The Rooted Flame begins where those preparations are assumed to have been completed. Finally, it stands upon the broad shoulders of the entire Collectanea Goêtica, while aspiring to be his most technically explicit work yet on the practice of what he calls goêteia.

From the Introduction:

“What you hold in your hands is not a dark book, but a book for dark times. As I invite you to immerse yourself in the terror and tyranny of the Holocaust, in a world that seems to have come unhinged, even to the co-existence with parasites within your own bodymind – none of this is intended to shock or numb you beyond the pain you already live in. Rather, this book is intended as a field guide for times of tyranny. It teaches us how to resist without rage, and to burn without despair, but with deep roots, calm hands, and an open heart.”
— Frater Acher
