Éliphas Lévi

Éliphas Lévi, Alphonse Louis Constant, Abbe

France 1810 - 1875

“Eliphas Lévi was born Alphonse Louis Constant in 1810, and was a very influential writer on the topics of magic and Hebrew mysticism. He is considered by many to be the prime mover in the revival of magic in the West during the 19th century, and his ideas became a cornerstone of numerous occult movements and organizations. Crowley actually claimed to be a reincarnation of Lévi. He is perhaps best known now for his (in)famous drawing of Baphomet.”—eliphas-levi

Éliphas Lévi appears as Alphonse Louis Constant in all but the first (The International, XII 3) versions of the Saints of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica in Liber XV, published during Aleister Crowley's lifetime. Alphonse Louis Constant is on the short list in all versions where his name appears, and is therefore a name celebrated at all performances when Saints Collect from those versions is read.
