The Doctrine & Ritual of Transcendental Magic

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.
