Renowned French occultist and writer, b. Feb. 8, 1810; d. May 31, 1875. Early life divided between a clerical career (seminary of Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet, Saint-Sulpice) and, after leaving the Church in 1836, years of literary and artistic work marked by several imprisonments for radical pamphlets. From the mid-1850s published his major works under the name Eliphas Levi, including ''Dogme et Rituel de la haute magie'' (1856), ''Histoire de la magie'' (1859) and ''La Clef des grands mystères'' (1861). In 1854 in London, together with Bulwer-Lytton, conducted magical experiments in the course of which he evoked the spirit of Apollonius of Tyana. H.P.B. held him in high esteem as "undoubtedly a great occultist," though she cautioned that he "muddles more than he teaches" and never regarded him as an initiate. {{ctd-source|BCW|1|491-495}}. | Renowned French occultist and writer, b.
