Classics Collection of Arthur Edward Waite. Illustrated: The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, The Occult Sciences, The Real History of the Rosicrucians, The Pictorial Key To The Tarot
Description:Arthur Edward Waite was a British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider–Waite tarot deck (also called the Rider–Waite–Smith or Waite–Smith deck). As his biographer R. A. Gilbert described him, "Waite's name has survived because he was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of Western occultism—viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of protoscience or as the pathology of religion." He spent most of his life in or near London, connected to various publishing houses and editing a magazine, The Unknown World. He wrote texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, freemasonry, and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several mystical works. He wrote about the Holy Grail, influenced by his friendship with Arthur Machen. A number of his volumes remain in print, including The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911), The Holy Kabbalah (1929), A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry (1921), and his edited translation of Eliphas Levi's 1896 Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual (1910), having been reprinted in recent years. Waite also wrote two allegorical fantasy novels, Prince Starbeam (1889) and The Quest of the Golden Stairs (1893), and edited Elfin Music, an anthology of poetry based on English fairy folklore.The Book of Ceremonial MagicThe Occult SciencesThe Pictorial Key To The TarotThe Real History Of The RosicruciansTranscendental MagicWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
