Éliphas Lévi is the pen-name of Abbé Alphonse Louis Constant, a Roman Catholic priest and magician. His later writings on the Tarot and occult topics were a great influence on the Spiritualist and Hermetic movements of fin de siècle England and France, especially on such members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as Arthur Edward Waite and Aleister Crowley.

Kind of a collection of letters and ideas Levi never got the chance to assemble into a literary work while still alive. Still a pleasure to read if you're a fan of Levi, and the Appendix by Papus was a nice touch.
