Product Description
A masterful account of Éliphas Lévi, one of the most celebrated Kabbalistic authors of all times. The influence Lévi exerted on such esoteric movement leaders as A.E. Waite; Madame Blavatsky; Papus; Aleister Crowley; Rudolf Steiner; Max Heindel; H. Spencer Lewis; Paul Foster Case and others is explored as well as remarkable insights into Lévi's life and times. A chapter is devoted to Masonic legend Albert Pike and analyzes Pike's classic Morals and Dogma revealing entire sections Pike took verbatim from the works of Lévi. This is a powerful and essential book by a respected Masonic and esoteric scholar.

The chapter on Pike was very interesting
The Chapter on Albert Pike was enlightening. I knew that Pike had used Eliphas Levi as a source. But, I had not realized how much of a source that Levi was for Pike. Even Levi's writing style influenced Pike's style. Pike took almost whole chapters from Levi's History of Magic and Transcendtal Magic. Overall a good book. Uzzel quotes Reverend Stephen Hoeller as a source. Dr Hoeller is still teaching and his Friday night lecture series is well attended.
