PARALIBRUM PRESS
Paralibrum Press was born from both necessity and passion. The necessity lay in finding a way to publish works entirely independently of established publishing houses – whether small digital projects such as articles and essays, or full-length books like Frater Acher’s MUTABOR (2024). The passion is the same that inspired the creation of the book review platform Paralibrum in 2020: bibliophilia, the love of the printed, bound, carefully crafted, poetically inflected word.
Several new projects are currently in development. We look forward to sharing more with you later in the year.

Resisting Without Rage, Burning Without Despair.
Late 2026 will bring Frater Acher’s raw and luminous perspective on adversity, resilience, and the magician’s path through darkness. Drawing from Primo Levi’s harrowing testimony and decades of lived magical practice, Frater Acher crafts a handbook for enduring tyranny without losing one’s humanity – as well as a grimoire of the Goêtic craft. Weaving philosophy, ritual, and personal insight, The Rooted Flame offers tools for resistance, not through rage, but through dignity, not through blind faith, but through deliberate, daily acts of defiance.

Published by TaDehent Press in 2022, the 2nd edition of INGENIUM is currently being prepared by Paralibrum Press. — Written for beginners and long-term practitioners alike, INGENIUM: The Alchemy of the Magical Mind is both a work of art and of magic. The book aims to dismantle common misconceptions of Western magic through spirit-practice, Radical Otherness, embodied inner tools drawn from Paracelsian animism, and deeply personal testimony, ultimately guiding the reader not to find magic, but to become it.

MUTABOR is a visceral journey through the tangled histories of beauty, deformation, and the goêtic body, revealing the human flesh as a gateway to radically non-human forms of communion. Blending anthropology, philosophy, and magical praxis, Frater Acher challenges magicians to rethink the body as the living locus of 21st-century animism.

This essay reconstructs the shadowy life of Jakob Dürr, a 19th-century goês whose spirit-healing work and exorcistic practice unfolded far outside orthodox power and record. Drawing on fragmentary sources and Kerner’s evocative Kleksographien, Frater Acher restores Dürr as a rare window into Western animistic magic, offering insight for both historians and modern practitioners.
