Description

The History of Magic: Including a Clear and Precise Exposition of Its Procedure, Its Rites and Its Mysteries by Eliphas Lévi, translated by Arthur Edward Waite, is a seminal historical and philosophical work on Western occult traditions. Covering the origins and evolution of ceremonial magic from ancient paganism, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Kabbalah to 19th-century occult revival, the book explores rites, alchemy, secret societies, and the philosophical principles behind magic. Lévi defines magic as a science of nature’s laws, distinct from superstition, while Waite’s translation provides clarity and accessibility for English readers. This edition includes Waite’s preface, notes, and contextual commentary, making it essential for scholars, practitioners, and collectors of occult literature.
