Foi um escritor, ocultista e mago cerimonialista francês, considerado o maior ocultista do século XIX. O seu pseudônimo "Éliphas Lévi," sob o qual ele publicava seus livros, resultou de pretender ter, neles, um nome de origem hebraica, associando-o, desse modo, mais facilmente a outros cabalistas famosos.
