Finally, they agree in connecting him with the foundation of the New and Reformed Palladium through his alleged disciple Phileas Walder; and one of them goes so far as to say that Palladism was a further development or restoration of a Satanic society directed by Éliphas Lévi and operating his theurgic system, which he in turn, if I rightly understand the mixed hypothesis of M. de la Rive, may have derived from the Palladic rite of 1730.
When the lady raised her veil, Eliphas Levi saw that she was of mature age; and beneath her grey eyebrows were bright black eyes of preternatural fixity. Susie Boyd clapped her hands with delight. 'I think it's delicious, and I'm sure every word of it is true, she cried. 'I'm enchanted with the mysterious meeting at Westminster Abbey in the Mid-Victorian era.
But this paroxysm of gladness which Eliphas Lévi, last of the Adepts, has so marvellously analysed in one of his works is of short duration, as are all joys. As dusk creeps over a glorious landscape, so the shadow of Antony Ferrara crept over the happiness of these two.
Far higher forms are those of the magic of the black Takowri whom one meets divining about the streets of Cairo, or of the Arab proper, which brings us fairly to the Cabala and the Jew, Cornelius Agrippa and Eliphas Levi.

'He is the most celebrated occultist of recent years. He is thought to have known more of the mysteries than any adept since the divine Paracelsus. 'I met him once, interrupted Dr Porhoët. 'You never saw a man who looked less like a magician.
"Rather distant, I should fancy," said Cassy, who was conscious of the delay, though not of the click. The delay she had noticed without, however, divining the cause. But how could she possibly imagine that Mrs. Beamish had been evolved for the sole purpose of providing her with basilica opportunities? Yet the fault, if fault there were, resided in her education. She had never read Eliphas Levi.
But when he represents Constant as himself a Mason we have to remember that Éliphas Lévi explicitly denied his initiation in his Histoire de la Magie.
