Eliphas Levi and the Kabbalah

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.One entire chapter, devoted to Masonic legend Albert Pike, analyzes Pike’s “Morals and Dogma” revealing entire sections Pike took verbatim from the works of Lévi.
