TaDehent Books
TaDehent Books is a collaboration between Josephine McCarthy and Frater Acher, along with Stuart Littlejohn as art editor/cover designer and M Sheppard who handles formatting and copyediting.
Our aim is quality over quantity, a small selection of titles that grows steadily, but is always known for the high quality esoteric/magical content. Our books have an affordable price range and are available in all formats: kindle, paperback and hardback.
TaDehent has come to life since 2017 out of two different sources: Some of its books emerged from the Quareia magical training course yet are meant to be read and studied independently. Today, however, the majority of TaDehent’s titles stem from Josephine McCarthy’s and Frater Acher’s desire to bring the whole publishing process of their works ‘in house’. Thus, TaDehent’s catalogue includes both new titles, as well as previous works from McCarthy republished here in updated, expanded and higher quality editions.

Sacred Women: Images of Power and Wisdom is a treasure house of art and text dedicated to the feminine power. A full colour collection of paintings by the renowned British artist Stuart Littlejohn, this book serves as a celebration of all that is great yet ignored, of all that is powerful yet shunned, from goddesses to warriors, from mystics to the mythic.

Cyprian of Antioch: a Mage of Many Faces is a detailed analysis of some of the lesser-known strands of myth, history, evidence, and magical hearsay that surround the enigmatic Cyprian of Antioch. It moves beyond the well-known territory of St. Cyprian and peers into some of the more hidden areas of the Mage's history and legend, unearthing a complex and beautiful path that leads, ultimately, back to one man.
Rosicrucian Magic is a book of magical reformation that lays a path of contact with spirits and beings through a lens of integrity. Drawing upon wisdom and knowledge from the ancient world through to eighteenth century influences and beyond, Frater Acher takes us on a journey of discovery on Becoming Alike to the Angelic Mind as originally articulated by Johannes Trithemius.
Written for the magical beginner just as much as the long-term practitioner, INGENIUM: the Alchemy of the Magical Mind, is Frater Acher’s most radical book yet. A beautiful book that is both a work of magic and a work of art with the illustrations of Joseph Uccello, Ingenium reaches through common misconceptions in western magic and shines a light along the path of genuine respect for beings and ways of being. INGENIUM takes the reader on a journey not to find magic, but to become magic.
Tarot skills for the 21st Century - Mundane and Magical Divination is a toolkit and guide for exploring and expanding your tarot divination skills.
