Histoire De La Magie

liphas Lévi

1859

History - Other, Philosophy & Ethics, Religion/Spirituality

Éliphas Lévi's 1860 masterwork remakes how we understand the ancient boundaries between science, religion, and the occult. In this dense, visionary text, Lévi traces magic's journey from Egyptian and Hebrew mysteries through medieval hermeticism to its nineteenth-century incarnations. He challenges the reductionist view that magic is mere superstition, instead positioning it as a profound philosophical science rooted in the correspondence between earthly and divine realms. The work demands careful study, revealing intricate connections between mystical traditions, ritual practices, and esoteric knowledge systems that shaped Western intellectual history. For scholars of the occult, spiritual seekers, and those intrigued by the hidden philosophical currents beneath conventional religion, this text remains an indispensable landmark.

— liphas Lévi

“La alta ciencia, de hecho, está reservada a los hombres que son dueños de sus pasiones, y la casta naturaleza no da las llaves de su cámara nupcial a los adúlteros.””

— liphas Lévi

“Christianity has been wrongly accused of taking over all that was beautiful in anterior forms of worship; it is the last transfiguration of universal orthodoxy, and as such it has preserved whatsoever belonged to it, while rejecting dangerous practices and idle superstitions.””

— liphas Lévi

“Makers of curious experiments in phenomena of extranatural vision are no better than the eaters of opium and hasheesh. They are children who injure themselves recklessly.””

— liphas Lévi

“Through all my later literary life I have sought to make it plain, as the result of antecedent years spent in occult research, that the occult sciences”
