Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
A landmark work in the theory and practice of the occult, Levi lays out the basic philosophy and practice of magic.

Although this kind of work can be dangerous to those that are unprepared for what lays within, those that want to understand a side of society that is often looked down on, this would be a good starting point.

The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic
Author: Eliphas Levi
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849679705
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This work is in two parts: in this one we establish the kabalistic and magical doctrine in its entirety; the other one, called "The Ritual of Transcendental Magic", is consecrated to the cultus, that is, to Ceremonial Magic. The one is that which the ancient sages termed the Clavicle, the other that which people on the country-side still call the Grimoire. The numbers and subjects of the chapters which correspond in both parts, are in no sense arbitrary, and are all indicated in the great universal key, of which we give for the first time a complete and adequate explanation. Let this work now go its way where it will and become what Providence determines; it is finished, and we believe it to be enduring, because it is strong, like all that is reasonable and conscientious.
