《The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum》

飛翔朱雀

PREFACE BY THE EDITOR

This translation of a previously unpublished work by the late Alphonse Louis Constant, or, as he preferred to call himself, Eliphaz Levi, is published with the consent of its possessor, Mr. Edward Maitland, the eminent collaborateur of the late Dr. Anna Kingsford, to whom it was given by the Baron Spedalieri, so well known as the friend, disciple, and literary heir of Eliphaz Levi. The original MSS., which is in the handwriting of Levi himself, is written upon pages interleaved with the text of a printed copy of a work by Trithemius of Spanheim, entitled De Septem Secundeis: the edition was published at Cologne, and is dated 1567. This work

The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum

of the Abbot Trithemius is a very curious and interesting dissertation upon the ruling of the world by the seven great Archangels, to each of whom in succession is alloted a period of 354 years and 4 months. The Archangels are referred to the Planets of the ancients, and their successive periods of dominion are taken in the following order:−−−−

Orifiel representing Saturn
Anael | Venus
Zachariel | Jupiter
Raphael | Mercury
Samael | Mars
Gabriel | Luna
Michael | Sol

The first course of these rulers ended in Anno Mundi 2480. The Noachian Deluge is placed at 1656, in the reign of Samael. The destruction of the Tower of Babel (see Tarot Trump, No. XVI., page 63) occured in the Second reign of Orifiel; the life of Abraham in the Second reign of Zachariel; the life of Moses in the Second reign of Raphael; Pythagoras, Xerxes, and Alexander the Great in the Second Solar reign of Michael.

The era of Jesus Christ comes in the Third reign of Orifiel.
The Third reign of Anael began in 109 AD
The Third reign of Zachariel began in 463 AD
The Third reign of Raphael began in 817 AD
The Third reign of Samael began in 1171 AD
The Third reign of Gabriel began in 1525 AD
The Third reign of Michael began in 1879 AD

Levi appears to have been deeply impressed with this system of Rule by Archangels, and Edward Maitland, in his life of Dr. Anna Kingsford, refers to this volume with approval.

Under the heading of "Notes" the editor has given a short description of each Tarot Trump at the end of each chapter, and also a few notes on the mystical meanings assigned to the Tarots by Eliphaz Levi in his other works; some of the views of P. Christian are added. To facilitate reference to such information, a table is added here specifying the places to which the student can turn for further opinions and more detailed descriptions.
