The History of Magic

Born Alphonse Louis Constant (1810–1875), Éliphas Lévi Zahed was a French occult author and ceremonial magician. Devotee of Kabbalah, Tarot Cards, and magic, his interest in the occult apparently grew during his theological studies. On a retreat in 1839 he was introduced to the writings of Madame Guyon and became attracted to feminine mysticism. He came to believe that occultism provided an interpretive key to the Sacred Scriptures and the history of both humanity, the cosmos, and the human soul. He also saw it as an antidote to the post-Enlightenment materialism. In the hermetic literature, Kabbalah, ancient and medieval magic and and in the Tarot he sought a perennial, hidden wisdom. His writings powerfully influenced the popular, expanding esoteric and magical orders of the 19th century.
