First published in 1860, this book chronicles the idea of magic from its ancient origins to the nineteenth century.
Eliphas Levi, who was the Abbe Louis Constant, has given us in this book a classic of High Magic. Steeped in the Western occult tradition, Levi was a master of the Rosicrucian interpretation of the Qabalah, which forms the basis of magic as practised in the West today.
