   Levis magickal accomplishments
  On the Tree of Life

 

The following list was composed by Eliphas Levi, and describes the various magickal and alchemical accomplishments attributed to the paths of the Tree of Life. The idea is that as the adept climbs the paths in return to divinity, he claims these powers, each one by one. In this case he definitely has some things out of order, for example he says the adept will get the power to transmute gold at path 21, but he doesn't get the stone till 18 (the paths being reclaimed in reverse order). Nevertheless I think this table is a good starting place for some contemplation.
