Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Biography & Memoir
Eliphas Levi and the French Occult Revival by Christopher McIntosh is the go-to 1972 paperback tracing how nineteenth-century magician Alphonse Louis Constant became the legendary Levi and sparked Europe’s esoteric renaissance. In 238 pages McIntosh blends biography with cultural history, mapping Levi’s influence on ritual magic, tarot, and later figures like Aleister Crowley.
This Rider and Company textbook is now out of print and keenly sought by collectors of occult, mysticism, and New Age reference works. The 1970s academic style makes it both readable for modern seekers and a nostalgic shelf staple for seasoned occultists.
The copy offered is in good, gently-used condition: crisp, smoke-free pages free of dog-ears, marred only by a handful of tiny pin holes in early leaves and one minuscule edge mark. A tidy, affordable addition to any magic or spirituality library without the premium price of pristine firsts.
