Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Biography & Memoir
Christopher McIntosh’s 1972 paperback Eliphas Levi and the French Occult Revival explores the life and legacy of the nineteenth-century magician whose writings sparked a renewed passion for ritual magic across Europe. This Rider & Company textbook traces how Lévi’s fusion of Kabbalah, tarot and ceremonial practice influenced later occult movements, making it a key reference for students of mysticism and New Age spirituality.
The 238-page volume sits neatly on an adult reader’s shelf, its pages clean and free of dog ears after five decades. A few discreet pin holes appear only on the earliest leaves, and a single tiny mark on one edge is noted; otherwise the book remains crisp and inviting, exuding the mellow patina collectors prize in 1970s occult paperbacks.
Ideal for researchers of paranormal history or seekers curious about the roots of modern ceremonial magic, this accessible English-language study delivers both scholarly depth and engaging narrative. Secure this gently preserved copy to enrich your collection of esoteric education texts without the worry of smoke-related odors.
