Existe-t-il une magie, une science occulte qui soit véritablement une puissance et qui opère des prodiges capables de faire concurrence aux miracles des religions autorisées ?À cette question nous répondrons par un mot et par un livre. Le livre sera la justification du mot, et ce mot le voici: oui, il a existé et il existe encore une magie puissante et réelle; oui, tout ce que les légendes en ont dit était vrai, voire même au-dessous de la vérité.Il existe un secret formidable, dont la révélation a déjà renversé un monde; une science qui confère a l'homme des prérogatives en apparence surhumaines. Ce secret constitue la science fatale du bien et du mal. Il existe un dogme unique, universel, impérissable, fort comme la raison suprême, simple comme tout ce qui est grand, intelligible comme tout ce qui est universellement et absolument vrai, et ce dogme a été le père de tous les autres.Et ce livre est le Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie.Qualité Unicursal----------------------------------------Faisant preuve d'un travail d'édition remarquable, toutes les images, sceaux et caractères ont été entièrement retracés.

História da Magia, best-seller de Éliphas Lévi, o maior ocultista e mago do século XIX e uma das figuras mais importantes da magia cerimonial, é uma leitura essencial para todos que desejam se aprofundar no aprendizado das Ciências Ocultas. Aqui, Lévi relata e explica as realizações dessa ciência através das eras, revelando segredos, procedimentos, ritos e mistérios iniciáticos desde os patriarcas bíblicos até as práticas mágicas e fenômenos espirituais estudados até meados do século XIX, diferenciando os tipos de magia como ¿brancä, ¿cinzentä ou ¿negrä.

A Chave dos Grandes Mistérios, best-seller de Éliphas Lévi, o maior ocultista e mago do século XIX e uma das figuras mais importantes da magia cerimonial, é uma leitura essencial para todos que desejam se aprofundar no aprendizado das Ciências Ocultas. A partir do estudo dos Arcanos Maiores do Tarô, Levi desvenda o ¿Quaternário dos Mistérios¿, apresentando os mistérios da religião, da filosofia hermética, da natureza (que inclui os grandes mistérios mágicos) e da Ciência, ligando-os a diversas outras formas de sabedoria, antigas e modernas, como a ¿Magia Práticä e seus desenvolvimentos e aplicações. O livro se completa com artigos e estudos sintéticos de manuscritos sobre a Cabala e ocultistas clássicos.

Este é o primeiro tratado sobre magia ritual publicado pelo ocultista e mago Éliphas Lévi, a mais importante figura no moderno ressurgimento da magia cerimonial. Com base em fontes herméticas e cabalísticas, ele propõe, nesta obra clássica e magistral, uma dimensão superior, espiritual, para a prática da magia, tendo como meta a transformação espiritual do mago. Dividida em duas partes - a primeira sobre o dogma cabalístico e mágico, e a segunda consagrada à magia cerimonial -, esta obra demonstra seus profundos conhecimentos dos segredos e mistérios mágicos.

As a comprehensive work on magic through the ages, The History of Magic, is hard to beat. Éliphas Lévi was born in poverty in 1810, the son of a Parisian shoemaker. His early associations with the Christian Catholic Church were ambivalent because of his interest in "the Secret Doctrine" - Magic. His voice as a magus emerged in Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual, published in 1855-56, followed by The History of Magic (1860), where he combines his belief in both magic and religion. Recognised as the occult scientist of the 19th century, Lévi has left a valuable legacy in his writings. The present work is divided into a septad of books - based on the sacred number, seven - with seven chapters in each. Lévi begins with a clear definition of magic - "the exact and absolute science of Nature and her laws" and these laws, conforming always to an ideal state of equilibrium, are governed by a supreme intelligent principle, God. Throughout the book the author emphasizes the inseparability of science and religion and that magic is part of both, but he is at pains to denigrate Black magic and counterfeit magicians. He charts magic through the ages, from its early origins to the 19th century occult revival, in which he played a major part. We read about Zoroaster, Abraham, the magic of the Magi, Hermetic magic, Kabalism, Gnosticism, Freemasonry - and much else besides. According to Lévi, the Secret Doctrine was eventually passed down to the Roman Catholic Church of which he became a faithful member. However, he admitted this revered institution had lost the Kabalistic Keys and his life's work was to direct their rediscovery that these powerful tools may be applied to our lives, albeit only within the confines of the hierarchical Church. Occult historian and author in his own right, A. E. Waite provides a valuable adjunct to Levi's book with his preface and detailed notes. The original index has been revised and extended by Aziloth Books.

Pour la première fois, une Histoire de la magie composée de sept volumes regroupés ici en un seul tome, nous montre au cours des siècles quels furent les rituels les mieux gardés et nous en révèle les secrets. Cette oeuvre majeure dans toute bibliothèque d'occultisme retrace l'histoire de la Magie, de ses origines dans les temps anciens à la fin du XIXe siècle. Qu'il y soit question de magie Hermétique, d'alchimie, de sorcellerie ou des secrets de la Kabbale, Éliphas Lévi, dans une démarche qui se veut pédagogique, nous raconte cette histoire dans un langage simple, avec précision et concision. Un histoire qui se lit comme un roman.

Dies geniale Werk des französischen Magiers E. Levi behandelt die Philosophie des Ausgleichs, des Gleichgewichtes, die Balance der Kräfte, die beiden linken und rechten Waagschalen, die zur Gottheit führen. Er setzt den Vergleich zwischen dem Zentrum und der Peripherie, stellt die beiden notwendigen Seiten von Gut und Böse gegenüber, die zur wahren goldenen Mitte führen, wie es bis jetzt in dieser Weise noch nie zu Papier gebracht wurde. Levi schreibt gegen den notwendigen Teufel, weil seine tierischen Eigenschaften nicht im Seelenspiegel enthalten sein dürfen. Gleichzeitig stellt er den dummen und unwissenden Menschen dem weisen und wissenden Eingeweihten gegenüber, um den Unterschied zwischen dem giftigen und vergänglichen Blei und dem ewig glänzenden Gold aufzuzeigen.

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.

In the Introduction, Aleister Crowley, who translated the book, called it the masterpiece of Levi. The author, Eliphas Levi, reveals how to use the most hidden of occult secrets to reach the highest order of the human mind. The author has determined that the key to the world's mysteries resides on a higher plane that can only be accessed by reconciling the contradictions found in the dualism of reality. The methods used to accomplish this are explained as being this key. One may discover in this book the absolute knowledge of good and evil, why alchemy is the daughter of the Qabalah, secrets of life and death, the astral world, and the deeper mysteries of religion, including the Christian Cross. It also covers the use of Spiritualism, the Tarot, mesmerism, mediumship, magnetic powers, and various forms of magic that may be used to invoke either angels or demons. Eliphas Levi is legendary in the field of the occult, transcendental magic and the hidden world. If this book is indeed his masterpiece, it should leave no question in the minds of readers regarding its ability to live up to its title - the key of the mysteries.

This Volume is a compilation of 196 letters from Eliphas Levi to three different students: -1 letter to Mme. Hutchinson -10 letters to Mr. Montaut (also known as "The Elements of the Kabalah") -185 letters to the Baron Spédalieri These letters cover a variety of subjects and are presented in a Bilingual format (English side-by-side with the original French) with copious footnotes and illustrations to help the student grasp the subject matter. Although many of these letters have been published in English before, this is a new translation of them all. This collection is a wonderful way to see into the heart of the Author and contain insights into his Transcendental Philosophy. "The effect which I await for you (from my epistolary lessons) will be the understanding of my books which contain the whole doctrine, but in an abridged and succinct form."

In questo libro Eliphas Lévi affronta argomenti quali il rapporto fra scienza e religione, la natura del cristianesimo, la figura del diavolo nell'esoterismo ed infine quale dovrebbe essere la relazione che intercorre fra l'iniziato tradizionale e la religione.""La chiesa primitiva, obbedendo al precetto formale del Salvatore, non dava i suoi santi misteri in pasto alla profanazione della folla. Non si era ricevuti al battesimo o alla comunione che con iniziazioni progressive. Si custodivano i libri santi, di cui l'intera lettura e, soprattutto, l'esplicazione erano riservate ai sacerdoti. Le immagini allora erano meno numerose e meno esplicite."" ""Gli sforzi continui della luce astrale per dissolvere ed assorbire gli esseri appartengono alla sua natura medesima: essa rode come l'acqua a causa delle sue correnti continue, divora come il fuoco perché è la essenza stessa del fuoco e la sua forza dissolvente.""

Presentiamo, inedito per l'Italia, un saggio di Eliphas Lévi sull'Alchimia. In questo scritto, corredato da 80 note integrative e complementari aggiunte dal curatore, il divulgatore francese affronta il tema dell'Agente Universale Trasmutativo, degli elementi necessari al compimento della Grande Opera e della matematica sequenza delle operazioni richieste. Chiara appare l'evidenza che non si tratta di operazione di laboratorio, bensì di un'Opera che ogni uomo deve compiere nella propria fucina interiore. La nostra opera è la conversione e la trasformazione di un essere in un altro essere, di una cosa in un'altra cosa, dalla debolezza alla forza, dal corporeo allo spirituale (Nicolas Flamel)

This is a compilation of Eliphas Levi's writings on the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and their corresponding Hebrew letters. It includes the "Magic Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum", some extracts from the "Major Keys and the Clavicles of Solomon" and the Editor's Appendix is a large collection of Levi's drawings and diagrams for easy reference. "The science of signs begins with the science of letters. Letters are absolute ideas. Absolute ideas are numbers. Numbers are perfect signs. In using ideas with numbers, one can operate upon the ideas like one can operate upon number and arrive at the mathematics of truth. The tarot is the key of letters and numbers..." "Now, the tarot that we have today ... has come to us from Egypt passing through Judea. The keys of this tarot, in fact, correspond with the letters of the hebraic alphabet, and some of its figures even reproduce the same form of the characters of this sacred alphabet."

Eliphas Levi (1810-75) was instrumental in the revival of Western occultism in the nineteenth century. This posthumous publication (1896), translated from an unpublished manuscript, outlines the meanings of the twenty-two tarot trumps and includes editorial notes on their iconography. It concludes with Kabbalistic prayers and occult and religious maxims.
