Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS volume represents the high-water mark of the thought of Eliphas written by him as his Thesis for the Grade of Exempt Adept, just as his Thesis for the grade of a Major Adept. He is, in fact, no longer talking of the fixed and universal. He is beginning to see something of the contradiction inherent in things, or at any rate, he constantly illustrates the fact that the planes are for practical purposes, although in the final analysis they turn out to be one. Subtle and delicate irony of which Eliphas Levi is one of the greatest minds baffled the pedantry and stupidity of such commentators such as Waite. ~ Aleister Crowley
