Hermetic magician, author and teacher.
André Consciência
I started practising magic when I was thirteen. Almost three decades later, most of my time is still divided between practice, research, writing and teaching. This site keeps the public part of that work together: books, courses, dialogues, interviews, articles and some of the experiments from which they came.
When I speak of magical research, I mean research carried out through magic itself. A method is practised and allowed to answer back. Its failures matter as much as its first results. Sometimes the end is a book or course. Sometimes it becomes a ritual, an image, a piece of music, or nothing that needs to be made public.
Presently featured
The Hermetic Grade of Jupiter
A Jovian initiation in twelve grades defined by the Zodiac. Each grade develops another condition of the Jovian current until its powers can be exercised together. The book is arranged for practice, step by step.
Dialogues, books and courses
The Thothic Dialogues
Sixteen dialogues arranged as one initiatory sequence. They begin with the human mind’s participation in Divine Mind and continue through imagination, the elements, divine images, consciousness transfer, the magical Word, time, freedom, spiritual beings, theurgy, death, evil and transmission.
They are meant to be read in order. Begin with Dialogue I.
Books
Some books are independent paths. Others make more sense when worked in pairs or as parts of a larger mandala. None was written to repeat a previous title under different symbolism. The Books page gives the editions presently available and the publishers from whom they can be obtained.
Courses
I teach through Perseus Arcane Academy. The courses cover introspection and the soul mirror, elemental and ceremonial magic, neo-shamanism, and the first principles required to make any of them operative.
Perseus handles enrolment, lessons and the student platform.
What Readers Are Saying
The feedback on André’s books and courses speaks for itself. He is the true definition of a modern-day Hermetic Magician.
André’s books are an inspiration. Despite my years of practice, I always feel like it is my first day when reading any of André’s books. This is a wonderful feeling; he goes deep into this knowledge but guides you all the way.
James Robinson
The Dragon Tarot
André’s work is a continued inspiration. Read it and you cannot come back the same.

Through the Soul Mirror to the Sphere of the Sun
I love everything André writes; it all seems so unique but immediately meaningful. His books grow with you, and no matter how long it has been, they always offer something new.

André’s books in general
Exceptional. His articles, his courses—whatever he does—have a certain quality that makes me think more deeply about my own practice.
