II. Historie De La Magie & Origine Des Cartes À Jouer

"ORIGINE DES CARTES À JOUER" is a work that addresses and counters the ideas presented in "HISTORIE DE LA MAGIE" by the renowned occultist and writer Eliphas Lévi. This work, authored by Gebelin, serves not only as a critical engagement with Lévi's thoughts on the history of magic but also as an exploration that seeks to challenge certain aspects of Lévi's narrative. Gebelin's piece is characterized as both a response and a counterpoint to Lévi's foundational ideas in the field, contributing to a more nuanced and perhaps contentious discussion around the historical and mystical significance of magic and its symbols.
