Ultraculture With Jason Louv Ep. 234: Eliphas Levi on How to Become an Adept [BLACK FRIDAY FINAL DAY]
BLACK FRIDAY ENDS TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT: friday.magick.me
This episode goes out on the final day of the Black Friday sale for a reason.
What you're about to hear is Eliphas Levi's chapter on The Magician from Transcendental Magic (1856)—the first chapter of the first modern book on ceremonial magic ever written. Levi is going to lay out exactly what it takes to become an adept—"a person who is achieved by will and by work."
He's going to talk about the four powers of the Sphinx: To know, to dare, to will, to keep silence. He's going to talk about why most people never make it. And he's going to say something that hit me hard when I first read it:
"Those qualified for initiation no longer finding initiators, and the leaders of conscience becoming in the laps of time as uninstructed as the vulgar, the blind have grown weary of following the blind."
That's the problem I've spent ten years trying to solve. That's why Magick.Me exists. That's why I built The Adept Initiative.
Listen to Levi. Really listen. And then decide: Are you ready?
KEY PASSAGES:
• "To know, to dare, to will, to keep silence—such are the four words of the magus"
• "Those qualified for initiation no longer finding initiators, the blind have grown weary of following the blind"
• "Once started, we must reach the end or perish. To doubt is to lose one's reason, to pause is to fail, to recoil is to plunge into an abyss"
