More quotes by Eliphas Levi
Passing beauties are only the fugitive reflectios of the eternal.
Eliphas Levi
When one creates phantoms for oneself, one puts vampires into the world, and one must nourish these children of a voluntary nightmare with one's blood, one's life, one's intellegence, and one's reason, without ever satisfying them.
Eliphas Levi
All miracles are promised to faith, and what is faith except the audacity of will which does not hesitate in the darkness, but advances towards the light in spite of all ordeals, and surmounting all obstacles?
Eliphas Levi
Order is never observed it is disorder which attracts attention because it is awkward and intrusive.
Eliphas Levi
Succeed in not fearing the lion, and the lion will fear YOU. Say to suffering, 'I will that you shall become a pleasure,' and it will prove to be such-- and even more than a pleasure, it will be a blessing.
Eliphas Levi
There exists in nature a force which is immeasurably more powerful than steam, and by means of which a single man, who knows how to adapt and direct it, might upset and alter the face of the world.
Eliphas Levi
If you wish to seduce an angel, you must play the part of a devil.
Eliphas Levi
Hermeticism is the science of nature hidden in the hieroglyphics and symbols of the ancient world. It is the search for the principle of life, along with the dream (for those who have not yet achieved it) of accomplishing the great work, that is the reproduction by man of the divine, natural fire which creates and recreates beings.
Eliphas Levi
It is necessary to DARE what must be attempted.
Eliphas Levi
Everything is possible to him who wills only what is true! Rest in Nature, study, know, then dare dare to will, dare to act and be silent!
Eliphas Levi
Doubt is really a groping ignorance.
Eliphas Levi
An iron chain is less difficult to break than a chain of flowers.
Eliphas Levi
Passing beauties are only the fugitive reflections of the eternal. All beauty alters and all life melts away in short, everything passes with marvelous rapidity beautiful Helen of Troy has become a toothless skull, then a handful of dust, then nothing.
Eliphas Levi
Weakness ever sympathizes with vice, because vice is a weakness which assumes the mask of strength. Madness holds reason in horror, and on all subjects it delights in the exaggerations of falsehood. The cause of all bewitchments, the poison of all philtres, the power of all sorcerers are there.
Eliphas Levi
In olden times gold was manufactured by science nowadays science must be renewed by gold. We have fixed the volatile and we must now volatilize the fixed—in other words, we have materialized spirit, and we must now spiritualize matter.
Eliphas Levi
Succeed in not fearing the lion, and the lion will fear you.
Eliphas Levi
A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.
Eliphas Levi
That great Kabbilistical association known in Europe under the name of Masonry appeared suddenly in the world when the revolt against the Church had just succeeded in dismembering Christian unity.
Eliphas Levi
Magic is the divinity of man achieved in union with faith.
Eliphas Levi
All the power of the occult healer lies in his conscious will, and all his art consists in producing faith in the patient.
Eliphas Levi
