The Mysteries of Magic - A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi | Free Book
Arthur Edward Waite
“The Mysteries Of Magic” is a 1927 work by A. E. Waite that explores
the life and work of Éliphas Lévi Zahed (1810 – 1875), a French occult
author and ceremonial magician. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 – 1942),
more commonly referred to as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British
mystic and poet. He wrote profusely on the subject of the occult and
esoteric matters, and is famous for being the co-creator of the
Rider-Waite Tarot deck. His work arguably constitutes the first
attempt to systematically studying the history of western occultism,
which he viewed more of a spiritual tradition than proto-science or
pseudo-religion, as was the more common conception. Contents include:
“Life of Alphonse Louis Constant", "Notes on the Mysteries of Magic as
expounded in the Occult Philosophy of Eliphas Levi", "Threshold of
Magical Science", "Doctrines of Occult Force", "Written Tradition of
Magic", "Doctrine of Spiritual Essences, or Kabbalistic Pneumatics",
"Ceremonial Magic", "Science of the Prophets”, etc. Other works by
this author include: “The Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly” (1893),
“Turba Philsophorum” (1894), and “Devil-Worship in France” (1896).
Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
