Éliphas Lévi, Transcendental Magic
Tetragram in Lévi
Lévi’s tetragram chapter reads the fourfold name as an expression of God in humanity and humanity in God. He places its letters beside a wider set of fourfold divisions and visible signs. The name’s arrangement is linked with other symbolic words and the monogram of Christ. The book presents these connections as keys to one occult doctrine.

Context & interpretation
This entry follows Lévi’s argument in Waite’s English translation. The entry concerns Lévi’s spelling and symbolic arrangement; it does not claim his Christian-occult reading exhausts Jewish uses of the divine name. The correspondences are attributed to this occult synthesis rather than presented as a universal account of every earlier tradition.
