Synopsis

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum is a strange mystic work created by Eliphas Levi and translated posthumously into English by W. Wynn Westcott. The work subjugates various magical principles and ideas to the tarot trumps, such as the tower, the devil, the hierophant, and such. The work mixes Rosicrucian and alchemical materials in with those of Kabbalah, and the end of the work is a lengthy section of ritual practices and prayers along similar lines.A note by Westcott at the end of the work indicates a belief that Levi essentially renounces the entire work at the end with a decidedly Catholic screed. Whether this is actually indicative of the same, or of an attempt to evade censorship, is debatable.
