Alphonse Louis Constant / Eliphas Lévi (1810-1875) was a French occultist. Constant, who would rename himself Eliphas Lévi as the reviver of a neo-Christian-Kabbalist tradition, was a fashionable presence in European intellectual circles of the time and deeply influenced the thought of novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton, with whom he wrote a treatise on magic in 1855, and the birth of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Enochian Magic.
