The Conjuration of the Four Elements

This short work attributed to Éliphas Lévi focuses on the ceremonial and symbolic use of the four classical elements in magical thought. It is historically significant as part of the broader nineteenth-century revival of ritual magic and elemental symbolism. Readers can expect practical and theoretical remarks on earth, air, fire, and water, along with their ritual and philosophical meanings.

Éliphas Lévi (Alphonse Louis Constant, 1810–1875) was a French occult writer whose works did much to define modern Western occultism. Books such as Dogme et rituel de la haute magie synthesized ceremonial magic, Kabbalah, and Christian symbolism in a highly influential esoteric idiom.
