Eliphas Levi
| Eliphas Lévi was a French Roman Catholic priest and occultist, most famous for his Dogma and Ritual of High Magic, a book about magic with a famous Seal of Solomon and drawing of Baphomet (El, the horned god Pan). It was published in 1854 and 1856. It contained 22 chapters, like the 22 cards of the Tarot. He was a friend of Flora Tristan (socialism, the Feminist Church), Fabre Dolivet, Jozef Maria Hoene-Wronsky and Papus (Order of the Kabbalistic Rose Cross, HOGD). He played a role in the Pluto in Taurus era (transformation of religion, era of Darwinism). His wife had a relationship with architect Hector Lefeul and later married Maurice Rouvier, Minister and Finance and pm of France from 1905. |  |
He died in the year of birth of occultist Aleister Crowley.
Arthur Edward Waite, member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn with Crowley, translated Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie into English.
The picture of Baphomet was used in a scene with Mia Farrow in Roman Polanski's Antichrist movie Rosemary's Baby and became a trope in pop culture (music videos in program Hip Hop, transgender agenda).
