The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum

Eliphas Levi

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum:

"The twenty-two Tarot Trumps bear a relation to numbers and to letters; the true attributions are known, so far as is ascertainable, to but a few students, members of the Hermetic schools: the attributions given by Levi in his Dogme and Rituel, by Christian, and by Papus are incorrect, presumably by design. The editor has seen a manuscript page of cypher about 150 years old which has a different attribution, and one which has been found by several occult students, well known to him, to satisfy all the conditions required by occult science.

The eight coloured plates with which this volume is embellished are facsimile copies of Levis own drawings; they add greatly to the charm of the work, and are a credit to the publisher and to the artist who executed them. The design on the cover is the monogram drawn by Levi to represent the 'Completion of the Great Work,' see page 45. The Cross---four, multiplied by the triangle---three, gives twelve the complete number of a cycle: the Hebrew letter Tau represents the Universe.

'The Mysteries of Magic, a Digest of the Writings of Eliphaz Levi, by Mr. A. E. Waite, published by Mr. Redway in 1886, has had so large a circulation among English readers, that the editor anticipates a cordial reception for this little volume.

LONDON, February 1896."
