Éliphas Lévi

    February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875

    Éliphas Lévi, the pen-name of Alphonse Louis Constant, was a French Roman Catholic priest and occultist. His later writings on the Tarot and esoteric topics profoundly influenced the Spiritualist and Hermetic movements of fin de siècle England and France. Lévi's work is still valued today for its depth and impact on modern occult traditions. His writings offer a compelling insight into mystical thought and symbolism.

    • Transcendental Magic is a classic of occultism, prized for its wide-ranging wisdom, thorough guidance and revelatory contents. Written by Eliphas Levi in the mid-19th century, Transcendental Magic offers seekers of occult knowledge a bounty of guidance and knowledge. Informed by research spanning many centuries of arcane arts, the author offers us profound guidance to the ceremonial rituals one must perform in order to make contact with spirits and other non-corporeal entities of the universe. In Levi's explanations we encounter various figures of occult lore. Monad is synonymous with God; the creator of everything contained in our physical plane. Derived from the Pythagorean school, through Levi we learn how Monad interacts with the creation. This discussion is related to the Kabbalah, which attempts to define the relationship between what is infinite and what is finite.

      Filling a huge gap in our spiritual culture, here--at last--is a comprehensive and elegant translation of the 1854 French masterwork of occult philosophy. The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic reignited the esoteric spiritual search in the West and led to the emergence of Madame Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, and the New Age revolution. Lévi's study of magic is an absolute must for every seeker in occult, esoteric, and druidic realms; but this need has been frustrated by dated and inaccurate translations--until now. Greer, a respected occult scholar, and Mikituk, a masterful translator, collaborate to restore this landmark work--complete with its original illustrations and symbols--to the center of the alternative spiritual canon.
