The Great Secret completes a trilogy of books by Eliphas Levi
published in his "Studies in Hermetic Tradition" series, the two
previous volumes being The Book of Splendours and The Mysteries of
the Qabalah. Taken together these writings represent a fitting
memorial to one who "has been both the keeper of the hermetic
tradition and the absolute renovator of esoteric thinking in Europe
in the 19th century".
"You will be as gods, knowing good and evil".
So concludes what Eliphas Levi considered to be his last
testament, his most important and final treatise, and a summation
of his esoteric philosophy. This volume is the conclusion of the
work he started with Book One, The Hieratic Mystery or the
Traditional Documents of High Initiation, published as The Book of
Splendours (Weiser, 1984). The Great Secret contains his final two
works: Book Two, The Royal Mystery or Art of Subduing the Powers,
in which Levi discusses such topics as Evil, the Outer Darkness,
the Great Secret, Magical Sacrifice, Evocations, the Arcana of
Solomon's Ring, and the Terrible Secret. Book Three, The Sacerdotal
Mystery or the Art of Being Served by Spirits, covers Aberrant
Forces, the Chaining of the Devil, Sacred and Accursed Rites,
Divination, Dark Intelligence, and the Great Arcanum.
