| book description |

A pioneering analysis of Eliphas LÃ©viâ€™s The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic, one if the most influential works of occult literature, exploring ceremonial magic, magical philosophy, cabala, hermeticism and more! The work of Eliphas LÃ©vi has undoubtedly shaped the course of modern magic.Â The Doctrine and Ritual of High MagicÂ systemised magical theory and practice in a way that re-situated occultism as a serious field of academic study, moving it away from the fringes of society into a massive cultural force in the Western world. Chapters include discussion on cabala, sacred geometry, necromancy, astrology, enchantments, philosophy, and much more.Â But the transmission of LÃ©viâ€™s work in the English-speaking was disrupted by the wider politics of occult circles at theÂ fin di siÃ¨cle, meaning that it was often ignored as a key text in occult schools and mystical traditions. Now, for the first time,Â The Great Arcanum â€“Â John Michael Greerâ€™s groundbreaking analysis and commentary ofÂ The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic â€“Â changes this, uncovering the key themes and messages in LÃ©viâ€™s work for use in magical study.Â Greer focuses specifically on how LÃ©vi was able to so successfully revolutionise magical practice in the Western world, and the meanings that can be gleaned from his writing. Key themes discussed include the source of magical power; astral light as the foundation for magical phenomena; and using the tarot deck as a key to unlock the secrets of the occult tradition.Â The Great ArcanumÂ delves right into the core of where modern magic was born, and will prove a stimulating and thought-provoking read for any serious student or practitioner of the occult.Â
