At the core of all esoteric arts is science. Those occult groups who acted in secret oft time mixing faith and science have been the discoverers of scientific invention advancing society forward yet hidden from public view. In order to perpetuate faith the Church has always sought to stamp out these Leggi tutto
I find it difficult to review this book. Clearly, for anyone involved in the Western Mystery Traditions, especially magick, hermeticism, modern tarot, or Thelema, this is foundational material. Yet Lévi comes off as conflicted between his occult interests and his ambivalent relationship to the Church Leggi tutto
i'm continuously "currently reading" this book, no matter how many times i finish it. cryptic stuff, and you should trust me, i've been reading it for years.
★★★★★ This is one of the most important books on Western magick extant. This book does require a background in occult symbolism, tarot, and Qabalah to understand, as it's not for the beginner. Ideally, this book should be studied along with either the Tarot of Marseille or the Oswald Wirth tarot dec Leggi tutto
I've read this text about 4 or 5 times. This is the first time translated into reasonable English. From this translation, you can see Levi's influence through out the last two centuries, from Albert Pike to Blavasky, to Artaud to Crowley, to the tarot and beyond.

The experienced—and especially the trained—occultist will find much of value among the leg-pulls, errors, blinds, poli Leggi tutto
Eliphas Levi was one of the "founding fathers" of the occult revival that took place in the late nineteenth century, and his "Transcendental Magic" is a marvellous work. The translation into English by A. E. Waite is smooth and often poetic, whilst the ideas propounded by Levi are at times very intr Leggi tutto
A well done translation of French Occultist Eliphas Levi's The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic. I was both surprised and elated of just how much of the contents of the book is still relevant to modern Occultism today. I was also a fan of the notations found throughout the pages as they clarified a Leggi tutto
