Synopsis "Dogme Et Rituel de la Haute Magie (in French)"

Born Alphonse Louis Constant, French magician Éliphas Lévi (1810-75) wrote prolifically on the occult sciences. This highly popular two-volume treatise on practical magic attempts to initiate the reader into the mysteries of occult philosophy. Identifying magic as the 'nurse or godmother' of all intellectual forces, Lévi proclaims his firm belief in man as microcosm of the universe, the strength of human willpower and the effectiveness of sympathetic magic. This first volume, 'The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic', establishes Lévi's own philosophical approach to the theory of magic, detailing the various methods of accessing esoteric knowledge of the universe through supernatural methods. Beginning with the ancient origins of occult philosophy and influence, Lévi chronicles the history of magic, including transmutations, black magic, bewitchments, astrology, divination and alchemy.

Eliphas Lévi, pseudonym of Alphonse Louis Constant (1810–1875), was a French occultist, writer, and former seminarian, considered a key figure in the revival of Western esotericism in the 19th century. Although he began his life within Catholicism, he left the priesthood to dedicate himself to writing and esoteric philosophy. His most influential work, *Dogma and Ritual of High Magic* (1854–1856), laid the foundations of modern ceremonial magic. He introduced concepts such as Baphomet and popularized the idea of the “magician” as a spiritual sage. He influenced later occultists like Aleister Crowley and orders like the Golden Dawn. His thought merges Christian symbolism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and astrology.
