The Incommunicable AxiomOccultist Éliphas Lévi suggested that all magic was embodied in knowledge of this secret. The axiom was to be found enclosed in the four letters of the Tetragram arranged in a certain way; in the words Azoth and Inri written kabbalistically; and in the monogram of Christ embroidered in the labarum. Whoever succeeded in elucidating it became omnipotent in the practice of magic. Thus did Lévi deal with a Western occult interpretation of Jewish Kabbalah and Eastern teachings about the creative power of the Ineffable Name of God, Aum. (See also Divine Name; Mantra; Shemhamphorash) Sources:Lévi, Éliphas. Transcendental Magic. London: Rider, 1896. Reprint, New York: Samuel Weiser, 1972. |
