Alphonse Louis Constant

(Elifas Levi, Zahed 1810-1875). French esotericist, cabalist and author. He became a deacon but was expelled from the seminary, probably for his too liberal acts and for showing too much interest in the occult sciences. He was Master of several Masonic rites and initiate of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. A member of the Frates Lucis, he is considered one of the highest and most important Occult Personalities of the last century. He is the author of: Dogma and Ritual of High Magic, History of Magic, The Book of Splendors, etc. * Samael confirms his Mastery, quotes him frequently and tells us some of his experiences with this Master.
