Lévi began to write "Histoire de la magie" in 1860. The following year, in 1861, he published a sequel to "Dogme et rituel", "La clef des grands mystères" ("The Key to the Great Mysteries"). In 1861 Lévi revisited London. Further magical works by Lévi include "Fables et symboles" ("Stories and Images"), 1862, "Le sorcier de Meudon" ("The Wizard of Meudon", an extended edition of two novels originally published in 1847) 1861, and "La science des esprits" ("The Science of Spirits"), 1865. In 1868, he wrote "Le grand arcane, ou l'occultisme Dévoilé" ("The Great Secret, or Occultism Unveiled"); this, however, was only published posthumously in 1898.
