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.
The Wizard of Meudon (Le Sorcier de Meudon) was written by Eliphas
Levi as two short novels in 1847, then reissued in its final form
in 1862. It is the story of the true wizard of Meudon, Francois
Rabelais. Going by the pseudonym Alcofribas Nasier, an anagram for
his true name, he went on to write the Five Books of Pantugruel
& Gargantua. The Wizard of Meudon is the tale of how it all
came to be, along with glimmers to the history of Theleme.
Eliphas Levi was steeped in the Western occult tradition and a
master of the Rosicrucian interpretation of the Qabalah, which
forms the basis of magic as practiced in the West today. The Key of
the Mysteries represents the culmination of Levi's thoughts and is
written with subtle and delicate irony. It reveals the mysteries of
religion and the secrets of the Qabalah, providing a sketch of the
prophetic theology of numbers. The mysteries of nature, such as
spiritualism and fluidic phantoms, are explored. Magical mysteries,
the Theory of the Will with its 22 axioms are divulged. And finally
it offers "the great practical secrets." The true greatness of this
work, however, lies in its ability to place occult thought firmly
in Western religious traditions. For Levi, the study of the occult
was the study of a divine science, the mathematics of God.
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.
