Description

The History of Magic Including a Clear and Precise Exposition of its Rites and Mysteries is a non-fiction book written by Eliphas Levi and translated by Arthur Edward Waite.

The book was originally published in French in 1860 and translated into English in 1913.

In the book, Levi provides a comprehensive history of magic, from its earliest origins to the 19th century.

He explores the various traditions and practices of magic, including astrology, alchemy, divination, and the occult.

He also delves into the philosophical and metaphysical underpinnings of magic, discussing its relationship to religion, science, and morality.

Throughout the book, Levi emphasizes the importance of spiritual development and moral purity in the practice of magic.

He discusses the role of the magician as a mediator between the divine and the human, and stresses the need for practitioners to cultivate wisdom, virtue, and compassion.

Levi's writing is both scholarly and poetic, drawing on a wide range of sources including ancient texts, medieval treatises, and contemporary writings on magic and the occult.

His insights into the nature of magic and its place in human history continue to be influential in contemporary esoteric circles. "The History of Magic" is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring and mysterious human practices.

Whether read as a historical text, a philosophical treatise, or a practical guide to magic, it offers a wealth of insights and inspiration for readers interested in the esoteric arts.
