Frater Acher
is a magician and author.
Since 2001, he has walked the magical and mystical path as a solitary practitioner. The first decade was dedicated to intensive training at IMBOLC. After attaining communion with his Holy Daimon, he began his ongoing apprenticeship under her/his guidance. Along the way, he encountered the work of Josephine McCarthy, which profoundly reshaped his understanding and practice of Western Magic; so did the late works of Jake Stratton-Kent. Since 2019, Acher’s focus has been on the goêtic paradigm — a subject he explores in depth on his web presence at goeteia.com.
Frater Acher shares his magical and personal life with Harper Feist in Munich, Germany. His books have been published by Scarlet Imprint, Three Hands Press, and others. He holds an MA in Intercultural Communication, Communication Science, and Organizational Psychology, as well as certifications as a Gestalt Therapist and a Systemic Coach.
