The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum

About This Book

Written by the French occultist Eliphas Levi (born Alphonse Louis Constant, 1810-1875) and published posthumously in 1896, this treatise represents the practical application of Levi's groundbreaking theory connecting the Tarot trumps to the Hebrew alphabet and Kabbalistic tradition. Translated into English by Dr. William Wynn Westcott, one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the work maps out a ceremonial path toward the Sanctum Regnum through the twenty-two major arcana. The text had a direct influence on the Golden Dawn's ritual system and, through it, on virtually all subsequent Western ceremonial magic. Scholars of esotericism, students of Tarot history, and those tracing the lineage of nineteenth-century occult revival will find this a foundational document.
