Arcanum, Great
The great secret that was supposed to lie behind all alchemical
and magical striving. God and Nature, alike, wrote
Éliphas Lévi, have closed the Sanctuary of Transcendent Science
. . . so that the revelation of the great magical secret is happily
impossible. Elsewhere he states that it makes the magician
master of gold and light.
