 | | Some claim he was thrown out of the Church for his heretical views or as the story goes for "preaching doctrines contrary to the Church." Before his death in 1875 Lévi is said to have reconciled with the Catholic Church and died having received last rites. | | | This he felt to be a reference to King Solomon's Temple, which Eliphas believed had the sole purpose of bringing peace to the world. | | | Not commonly know, is that Eliphas Lévi was the first to separate the pentagram into good and evil applications. |

| | Levi is also responsible for the bringing together of such elements as Qabalism, Gnosticism, Alchemy, Masonry, Spiritualism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and the Tarot, into what we know today as, "occultism". | | | Levi was to evoke Apollonius twice more over the coming days, and each time Levi claimed the great sage gave him the answers to many deep philosophical questions, Levi had asked. | | | Up until his death on the 31st May 1875, Eliphas Levi was making a living from giving lessons in the art of magick and occultism, but he would now revert back to the Catholic faith. |

| | Eliphas Levi |
| | Levi acknowledged being influenced by an earlier writer, Francis Barret, who had attempted unsuccessfully to revive magic in the early 1800's. | | | In Dogma, Levi devoted 22 chapters to the 22 trump cards, or Major Arcana, of the Tarot, linking each one to letters of the Hebrew alphabet and to aspects of God. | | | At his third request, a greyish spirit appeared in front of him, thin and sad and wrapped from head to foot in a grey shroud. |

| | THE ELIPHAS LEVI BAPHOMET DRAWING |
| | It is plain that the use of the Goat as a symbol in Paganism the world over is related to its relevance in the day-to-day mundane life of the locality, not to any religious belief in a Devilish deity. | | | In his book 'Transcendental Magic' from 1860 Levi (who had been a Roman Catholic priest) explains that his image symbolises the position of non ascended / non aware humans, linked more to their bestial nature than their god like consciousness. | | | Levi's figure has nothing to do with witchcraft for it is based on Judaic and Quabbalistic philosophies which are not the same as the use of the goat in Paganism. |

| | Born Again Pagan - From Pagan High-Priest to Faith in Christ |
| | Before completing his second book Levi reverted to the Catholic faith, but though ceasing there-after to regard Magick as the one true science, he remained fascinated by it. | | | He was a believer in the 'secret doctrine' that links all occult beliefs. | | | One of the major problems with 'defining' Paganism and/or its beliefs and practices is that it is an 'organic' movement, in that it is undergoing constant change and re-evaluation from within, and as such any 'one-size-fits-all' approach to understanding Paganism will be found wanting. |

| | THE PENTAGRAM AND THE MODERN MORMON CHURCH |
| | Eliphas Levi, one of the most influential magicians of the 1800s, wrote in his massive volume on transcendental magic: "the pentagram signifies the domination of the mind over the elements, and the demons of air, the spirits of fire, the phantoms of water and ghosts of earth are enchained by this sign". | | | This sign is used to call on the demonic forces of Satan, and has no place on a Temple of God! | | | The followers of Satan take this pentagram very seriously. |

| | Levi believed that the heat and exhaustion enabled the pilgrims to project the astral larvae out of their body, but it was not to last. | | | These authors are: Eliphas Lévi, The Key of the Mysteries; Mouni Sadhu, The Tarot; and Franz Bardon who wrote four books on Hermetic Tarot inspired by the first four Arcana. | | | There is a fascinating correlation between those few authors who have written on Tarot and magic and the subject of Larvae. |

| | [SECOND PAPER.] ELIPHAS LEVI affirms that all religions have issued from the Kabbalah and return into it; and if the term be intended to include the whole body of esoteric knowledge, no advanced occultist will be likely to dispute the statement. | | | The interpretation of Eliphas Levi, who was an occultist rather than a Mystic, and does not seem to have ever really understood Mysticism, may be called intellectual, as a single citation will suffice to show. | | | But these are the two chief sources of inspiration, in the sense that they have prompted research, and that it is not necessary to go outside them to understand how it is that we have come later on to have Theosophy, Christo-Theosophy, the New Kabbalism of Dr. Wynn Westcott, and the illuminations of Mrs. |

| | Usually known by his pseudonym "Eliphas Lévi Zahed," which is a translation of his name into Hebrew, this Parisian was almost single-handedly responsible for the popular resurgence of the Secret Traditions in the 19th Century. | | | In 1852, Constant met the messianic mathematician Jozef Maria Hoëhne-Wronski (1778-1853), whose brilliant attempts at fusing philosophy, religion and mathematics provided Constant with the impetus towards synthesizing the disparate elements of his own life: Christianity, utopian idealism, mysticism and rationalism. | | | This synthesis manifested as occultism, whose tenets Constant set forth in a treatise called Dogme de la magie, written under the pen name Eliphas Lévi. |

| | SATAN: LUCIFER |
| | ELIPHAS LÉVI seeks to explain the dogma of his Church by paradoxes and metaphors, but succeeds very poorly in the face of the many volumes written by pious Roman Catholic demonologists under the approbation and auspices of Rome, in this nineteenth century of ours. | | | That the Latin scholastics have succeeded in transforming the universal soul and Pleroma, the vehicle of Light and the receptacle of all the forms, a force spread throughout the whole Universe, with its direct and indirect effects, into Satan and his works, is no news to any one. | | | But the Initiates give an explanation which differs from that given by Eliphas Lévi, whose genius and crafty intellect had to submit to a certain compromise dictated to him from Rome. |

| | Taking their name from the pen name of an 19th century French occultist, their music revolved around the dark arts. | | | The Key Party label was known for its unique bands, who often incorporated the decadent, gothic, and Victorian into their individual styles, and Eliphas Levi was no exception. | | | It borders on the verge of boring, and the dramatic storm effects and change of tempo don't do much to disguise the mediocre songwriting, but once again, Camus surprises with some unexpectedly interesting basswork. |
