The book is divided into two parts, with the first part covering the theoretical aspects of magic, including the nature of the universe, the principles of magic, and the different types of magic. The second part of the book explores the practical aspects of magic, including ritual practices, the use of symbols and talismans, and the invocation of spirits.Levi's writing is heavily influenced by the Hermetic tradition and draws on a wide range of sources, including Kabbalah, alchemy, and the writings of ancient philosophers. The book is written in a dense and complex style, with a focus on esoteric symbolism and mystical concepts.Overall, The Doctrine of Transcendent Magic is a seminal work in the field of occultism and magic, and is considered essential reading for anyone interested in these subjects.
