The History of Magic (1913) is an extensive work on the origins of ceremonial magic throughout the world's many cultures and religions. Written by mystic and occultist liphas L vi and translated by British scholar A. E. Waite, this is a foundational book for any student of the occult. French occultist Alphonse Louis Constant (1810-1875) was born in Paris to a shoemaker father. At age 22, he entered the seminary at Saint Sulpice for an education that would prepare him for the priesthood. While he did become ordained a deacon, he found that his doubts regarding the doctrine of the Catholic Church precluded him from completing his ordination. A week before he was due to take orders as a priest, he left the Church and returned to civilian life. Constant worked as a tutor to keep himself afloat, continuing to seek spiritual answers. He was influenced by the work of the mystic Simon Ganneau, a socialist and feminist who advocated gender equality and female emancipation. Constant, too, promoted a vision of an ideal society that would be a utopia for all. His first book, The Bible of Liberty (1851), expounds on these ideas. Unsurprisingly, the French government was highly sensitive to any work that advocated a change in social structure a mere 62 years after the terror of the French Revolution. Constant was arrested immediately and spent six months in prison. He would be imprisoned again four years later for publishing a pamphlet critical of Emperor Napoleon III. Through the 1850s and 1860s, Constant developed and disseminated his growing ideas of the occult, mysticism, and the Kabbalistic school of thought. He became a ceremonial magician and developed a social circle of other mystical and occultist thinkers. He also incorporated Tarot cards into his magic teachings, which is why the Tarot is still considered part of the Western magic tradition. Eschewing the charlatan's tricks and parlor illusions, L vi believed that the practice of ceremonial magic required a strong will, psychic force, and powerful imagination to discover true science and influence reality. And anyone who attempted to use magic for personal gain would lead to their own destruction. Writing under the name liphas L vi-a literal translation of his name Alphonse Louis into Hebrew-he began to share his ideas on magic with the public. In 1860, he began work on The History of Magic, an assessment and analysis of sacred magic through many past cultures. By exploring the magical components of the pagans, Kabbalists, ancient Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Catholics, and many other groups, L vi sought to find the secret wisdom hidden within each. He also explored the secret traditions of the Illuminati, Freemasons, and the Knights Templar, among many others. The History of Magic is an essential text for any student of ceremonial magic, revealing the truths behind the fables, allegories, and parables of these cultural traditions. Translated into English by the British poet and mystic A. W. Waite, it was published posthumously in 1913. Waite was one of the creators of the well-known Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, one of the most widely-used tarot decks in the world. The works of liphas L vi would prove to be prime influences on later mystics like Helen Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Delve into Ancient Occult Philosophy and MysticismFrench author liphas L vi (born Alphonse Louis Constant, 1810-1875), who is often referred to as "the last magi," defined magic as "the traditional science of the secrets of Nature which has been transmitted to us from the Magi." And to those who studied this arcane art came a power: "By means of this science the adept is invested with a species of relative omnipotence and can operate superhumanly-that is, after a manner which transcends the normal possibility of men." Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual is Arthur Waite's esteemed English translation of liphas L vi's original, groundbreaking exploration of ancient occult philosophy. L vi was one of the first occultists to integrate the tarot into the discipline of magi-a development that significantly influenced the field in the years that followed. Bringing to light wisdom and information that were previously restricted to secret society initiates and practitioners of the ancient esoteric arts, Levi's work summarizes the common themes of multiple traditions into a single, understandable whole. L vi initially focuses on doctrine and theory, illuminating the foundations of magic and examining the relationships between science, formal religion, and occultism from Kabalistic, Hermetic, and Christian viewpoints. He also explains the meaning of symbols such as the tetragram and the pentagram (including the difference between them pointing up or down), as well as letters, numbers, necromancy, and witchcraft. In subsequent chapters, originally published several years later, L vi describes specific rituals, ceremonies, and divinations, listing the actual materials, tools, and processes involved in practicing magic, identifying the proper vestments and settings for performing rituals, as well as the ideal mindset to adopt and how to avoid falling prey to dark magic. As translator, Waite adds notes to the text, further elucidating Levi's writings with explanations and commentary. Replete with occult wisdom and teachings designed to enable disciplined initiates to shape their environment, this seminal book is a critical resource for any student of magic or Western occultism, and a must-have reference item for any occult science library. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 164837235X).
