The Conjuration of the Four Elements: Eliphas Levi

by Éliphas Lévi, Christian Templesage (Editor)

Excerpt: "The four elementary forms separate and specify by a kind of rough outline, the created spirits whom the unive rsal movement disengages from the central fire. Everywhere spirit work s and fecundates matter by life; all matter is animated; thought and soul are everywhere. In seizing upon the thought that produces the diverse forms, we become the master of forms and make them serve for our use.....Elementary spirits are like young childre n. They torment those more who busy themselves with them, unless one has control of them by means of superior rationality and great sever ity. These are the spirits which we designate under the name of 'occult elements.'......" LUKE 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
