Eliphas Levi

[Mike1]

Hail again in that sunny, beautiful day.Eliphas Levi, actually Alphonse Luis Constant. I know that his Baphomet's drawing is the most popular and that it is even present in JoS materials but...Wasn't the dude so fascinated by the Yehuborim' so called mysticism and Yehuborim version of kaballah that he chose a Yehubor-sounding alias on purpose? Not to mention that he almost became a catholic priest... That he was a propagator of Yehuborim sorcery, pentagrams filled with Yehuborim alphabet and basically, a big fan of ceremonial magic.So my question is: based on what was written above, how valid his theories/doctrines are for Us, Spiritual Satanists? Are his teachings all utter rubbish, or just a mix-up, like most of everything else that "dabbles" in magic? Hail Satan and all the true Gods!
Hail Gods of War!

..Hail Satan!! Levi's magic was adopted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, founded in London in 1888. Aleister Crowley, who was born the year that Levi died, claimed he was the reincarnation of Levi.
He was thrown out of the church for his left-wing political writings.
BUT--His first and most important book, The Dogma and Ritual of High Magic, Levi devoted 22 chapters to the 22 trump cards, or Major Arcana, of the Tarot, linking each one to letters of the Hebrew alphabet and to aspects of GOD--{Yehubor god}.
So, IMO i do not have time nor interest to read through this 'teachings' as we all know the corrupted non-sense Yehubor inspired writings are.
The fact that you, yourself write "That he was a propagator of Yehuborim sorcery, pentagrams filled with Yehuborim alphabet..." should tell you something.
