Religion Is Magic Sanctioned By Authority

Religion Is Magic Sanctioned By Authority is a philosophical work written by Eliphas Levi, a French occultist and influential figure in the 19th-century occult revival. The book explores the relationship between religion and magic, arguing that both are rooted in a fundamental desire to connect with a higher power and that they are essentially the same thing. Levi contends that religion is a form of magic that has been sanctioned by authority, while magic is a form of religion that has not yet been accepted by mainstream society. He also examines the role of symbolism and ritual in both religion and magic, and how they can be used to achieve spiritual transformation. Overall, Religion Is Magic Sanctioned By Authority offers a unique perspective on the nature of religion and magic, and their place in human history and culture.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paradoxes of the Highest Science, by Eliphas Levi.
