Publisher's summary

Filling a huge gap in our spiritual culture, here - at last - is a comprehensive and elegant translation of the 1854 French masterwork of occult philosophy.

The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic reignited the esoteric spiritual search in the West and led to the emergence of Madame Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, and the New Age revolution.

Lévi's study of magic is an absolute must for every seeker in occult, esoteric, and druidic realms, but this need has been frustrated by dated and inaccurate translations - until now. Greer, a respected occult scholar, and Mikituk, a masterful translator, collaborate to restore this landmark work to the center of the alternative spiritual canon.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Interesting to say the least

New to many of the outlined events. Still just an observation of what was going on at the time. The ideas relayed are a very old way of thinking. Still relevant in many ways. Definitely recommended for the arsenal of thought.

Regardless of one's beliefs, you must read this .

Understanding of life and nature and how everything you say or do makes a difference. This book explains everything to those who have enough intelligence to understand what was written.

Levi is the original European occultist

This is the foundational text for a lot of western occult philosophy. Levi is fantastic in this new translation of the original work and the narrator is great i thought.

Required reading for the fearless.

⛧ If you are a coward, dimwitted, lazy, or satisfied pass by this book and curse it thoroughly in public and private. Take refuge in your ignorance and so that you may not be exposed to your incompetence. But if you desire truth, grasp it firmly and read it in silent places. Hold your tongue. Witness the verb. ⛧

Excellent for the student of Hermeticism

if you are a student of light then this book will unlock more doors toward that ultimate goal. If you are not a true student this book will be hard to understand. Read the Kybalion first.

Simply a fantastic translation.

A well done translation of French Occultist Eliphas Levi's The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic. I was both surprised and elated of just how much of the contents of the book is still relevant to modern Occultism today. I was also a fan of the notations found throughout the pages as they clarified a great deal of obscure references. John Michael Greer and Mark Anthony Mikituk did a wonderful job with the new translation and I highly encourage people interested in the Occult to give this a read. “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”
