Damien Echols
DAMIEN ECHOLS was born in 1974 and grew up in Mississippi,
Tennessee, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. When
he was 18, Damien and two other young men were wrongfully convicted
of murder, eventually becoming known as the West Memphis Three.
Having received a death sentence, Damien spent almost two decades
on death row, until he was released in 2011. While in prison,
Damien was ordained into the Rinzai Zen Buddhist tradition. He is
the subject of Paradise Lost, a three-part documentary series
produced by HBO, and West of Memphis, a documentary produced by
Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. Damien is also the author of the New
York Times bestseller Life After Death and Yours For Eternity (with
his wife Lorri Davis).
Damien teaches classes on magick around the country and works as a
visual artist. His artwork entails glyphs, sigils, and symbols
designed to bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the
subconscious, combining magick techniques with his own alphabet and
writing system to break down concepts and scenarios into abstract
designs. He and Lorri live in New York City with their three
cats.
