Transcendental Magic is a classic of occultism, prized for its wide-ranging wisdom, thorough guidance and revelatory contents.Written by Eliphas Levi in the mid-19th century, Transcendental Magic offers seekers of occult knowledge a bounty of guidance and knowledge. Informed by research spanning many centuries of arcane arts, the author offers us profound guidance to the ceremonial rituals one must perform in order to make contact with spirits and other non-corporeal entities of the universe. In Levi's explanations we encounter various figures of occult lore. Monad is synonymous with God; the creator of everything contained in our physical plane. Derived from the Pythagorean school, through Levi we learn how Monad interacts with the creation. This discussion is related to the Kabbalah, which attempts to define the relationship between what is infinite and what is finite.

In the Introduction, Aleister Crowley, who translated the book, called it the masterpiece of Levi. The author, Eliphas Levi, reveals how to use the most hidden of occult secrets to reach the highest order of the human mind. The author has determined that the key to the world's mysteries resides on a higher plane that can only be accessed by reconciling the contradictions found in the dualism of reality. The methods used to accomplish this are explained as being this key. One may discover in this book the absolute knowledge of good and evil, why alchemy is the daughter of the Qabalah, secrets of life and death, the astral world, and the deeper mysteries of religion, including the Christian Cross. It also covers the use of Spiritualism, the Tarot, mesmerism, mediumship, magnetic powers, and various forms of magic that may be used to invoke either angels or demons. Eliphas Levi is legendary in the field of the occult, transcendental magic and the hidden world. If this book is indeed his masterpiece, it should leave no question in the minds of readers regarding its ability to live up to its title - the key of the mysteries.

This Volume is a compilation of 196 letters from Eliphas Levi to three different students: -1 letter to Mme. Hutchinson -10 letters to Mr. Montaut (also known as "The Elements of the Kabalah") -185 letters to the Baron Spédalieri These letters cover a variety of subjects and are presented in a Bilingual format (English side-by-side with the original French) with copious footnotes and illustrations to help the student grasp the subject matter. Although many of these letters have been published in English before, this is a new translation of them all. This collection is a wonderful way to see into the heart of the Author and contain insights into his Transcendental Philosophy. "The effect which I await for you (from my epistolary lessons) will be the understanding of my books which contain the whole doctrine, but in an abridged and succinct form."

Presentiamo, inedito per l'Italia, un saggio di Eliphas Lévi sull'Alchimia. In questo scritto, corredato da 80 note integrative e complementari aggiunte dal curatore, il divulgatore francese affronta il tema dell'Agente Universale Trasmutativo, degli elementi necessari al compimento della Grande Opera e della matematica sequenza delle operazioni richieste. Chiara appare l'evidenza che non si tratta di operazione di laboratorio, bensì di un'Opera che ogni uomo deve compiere nella propria fucina interiore. La nostra opera è la conversione e la trasformazione di un essere in un altro essere, di una cosa in un'altra cosa, dalla debolezza alla forza, dal corporeo allo spirituale (Nicolas Flamel)

This is a compilation of Eliphas Levi's writings on the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and their corresponding Hebrew letters. It includes the "Magic Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum", some extracts from the "Major Keys and the Clavicles of Solomon" and the Editor's Appendix is a large collection of Levi's drawings and diagrams for easy reference. "The science of signs begins with the science of letters. Letters are absolute ideas. Absolute ideas are numbers. Numbers are perfect signs. In using ideas with numbers, one can operate upon the ideas like one can operate upon number and arrive at the mathematics of truth. The tarot is the key of letters and numbers..." "Now, the tarot that we have today ... has come to us from Egypt passing through Judea. The keys of this tarot, in fact, correspond with the letters of the hebraic alphabet, and some of its figures even reproduce the same form of the characters of this sacred alphabet."
