Levi contemplated "magic" as a new order - an ideology (potentially a politically useful superstition (?)) by which a new hierarchy would be articulated, as he states: "Hereunto therefore we have made it plain, as we believe, that our Magic is opposed to the goetic and necromantic kinds. It is at once an absolute science and religion, which should not indeed destroy and absorb all opinions and all forms of worship, but should regenerate and direct them by reconstituting the circle of initiates, and thus providing the blind masses with wise and clear-seeing leaders."
