Synopsis "The Wizard of Meudon: Le Sorcier de Meudon"

The Wizard of Meudon (Le Sorcier de Meudon) was written by Eliphas Levi as two short novels in 1847, then reissued in its final form in 1862. It is the story of the true wizard of Meudon, Francois Rabelais. Going by the pseudonym Alcofribas Nasier, an anagram for his true name, he went on to write the Five Books of Pantugruel & Gargantua. The Wizard of Meudon is the tale of how it all came to be, along with glimmers to the history of Theleme.

Eliphas Lévi, pseudonym of Alphonse Louis Constant (1810–1875), was a French occultist, writer, and former seminarian, considered a key figure in the revival of Western esotericism in the 19th century. Although he began his life within Catholicism, he left the priesthood to dedicate himself to writing and esoteric philosophy. His most influential work, *Dogma and Ritual of High Magic* (1854–1856), laid the foundations of modern ceremonial magic. He introduced concepts such as Baphomet and popularized the idea of the “magician” as a spiritual sage. He influenced later occultists like Aleister Crowley and orders like the Golden Dawn. His thought merges Christian symbolism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and astrology.
