Sinopsis

First published in 1896, &ldquo,Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual&rdquo, is the English translation by A. E. Waite of Eliphas Lévi&rsquo,s French classic &ldquo,Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magic&rdquo,, originally published in two volumes in 1854 and 1856. Waite, an American-born British author and scholar best known for his part in co-creating the Rider-Waite tarot deck, translated Lévi&rsquo,s influential and widely read first treatise into English and expanded upon it with a biographical preface on the life and significance of the author and added footnotes to the work to aid the reader in understanding the detailed material. Lévi&rsquo,s treatise draws connections between religions and belief systems all over the world and finds that they share in common an underlying transcendental magical power. Waite writes in the introduction that &ldquo,there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed.&rdquo, This common and hidden transcendental magic is viewed by Lévi as a way to connect science with religion so that they may co-exist. &ldquo,Transcendental Magic&rdquo, remains a popular and informative treatise on the occult, ritual magic, the Kabbalah, and other mystical beliefs, as well as a valuable resource for those interested in the relationship between magic, science, and religion. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
