by Eliphas Lévi (Author), A. E. Waite (Translator)
One of the most influential magical treatises ever written, The Doctrine & Ritual of Transcendental Magic is Eliphas Lévi's landmark work and a foundational text in Western occultism.
This is a deeply philosophical guide to the spiritual science of transformation. Drawing upon Kabbalah, Hermeticism, alchemy, and Christian mysticism, The Doctrine & Ritual of Transcendental Magic offers a bold synthesis of ancient wisdom and nineteenth-century spiritual inquiry. Divided into two parts, the 'Doctrine' sets forth the theoretical underpinnings of magic, and the 'Ritual' outlines its ceremonial practices.
Eliphas Lévi (1810-1875) helped shape the occult revival and his vision of the magician as a seeker of divine truth, balancing science and faith, inspired generations of mystics and philosophers.
First published in 1896, The Doctrine & Ritual of Transcendental Magic endures as an essential volume for students of the esoteric, and a profound meditation on the forces that govern the Universe.
