Waite, co-creator of the most widely used Tarot deck (Rider-Waite), represented a moderate voice in the acceptance of occult study. His handbook stands the test of ...

Arthur Edward Waite writes "The Book of Ceremonial Magic" as a newer and more accurate edition of his previous title "The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts", written in 1898. As most ancient texts on magical literature are rare and hard to come by, it becomes very difficult for modern scholars to ascertain an accurate knowledge of ancient spells ...
Kabbalah has gained notoriety in recent years, thanks in large part to a publicity boost from celebrity adherents like Madonna. Yet the uninitiated may be surprised to learn that Jewish mysticism has been practiced for thousands of years. First published in 1929, The Holy Kabbalah is Arthur E. Waite's guide to these esoteric teachings. Divided ...
A.E. Waite's Devil Worship in France was an examination of a most sensational hoax perpetrated by Parisian journalist Leo Taxil in the late 1800s. It was a satirical and somewhat farcical interpretation of this sensationalisation and persecution of occult groups in France at that time. Now, published for the first time, this sequel re-examines and ...
The Holy Grail is central to the Arthurian literature. The lighthearted journeys for women and adventure build up to the journeys of the soul. It becomes clear that these earlier journeys were also not really what they seemed to be, not really journeys on horseback and clothed in armor, but journeys of the spirit. Contents: The Holy Vessel and its ...
Does the secret order known as the Rosicrucians even exist? Though fabled for centuries as clandestine movers and shakers of European and world events-alongside the Knights Templar and the Freemasons-evidence for its authenticity is shaky. But that doesn't mean that later organizations haven't claimed the name, or that libraries of words haven't ...

Considered by some as Hebrew witchcraft, the Kabbalah is the "occult" and "secret" tradition of Judaism, with origins far in the distant past. Here 19th-century scholar and researcher Arthur Edward Waite takes a penetrating yet sensible look at this world of mystery.
First published in Latin in 1678, "The Hermetic Museum" is an anthology of alchemical writings, some so ancient as to be anonymous. Writers included have become part of historical legend: Helvetius, Delphinus, Michael Maier. Readers will find here an alchemical initiation, a sign to the seeker that there is a mystery and that you must begin here ...
This was Waite's last book and is THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON THE ESOTERIC ASPECTS OF FREEMASONRY. "I am not offering in this book a revised edition of two volumes which appeared under the same title so far back as 1911. It is so altered, extended and transformed that it may claim to be a new undertaking and to supersede in fact that ...

The Grail quest is the centerpiece of Arthurian literature -- and here is the legend's most informative and profound exploration. The famed scholar and occultist draws upon Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and other medieval sources to reveal the myth's true meaning, both in symbolic and in historic terms.

MacGregor Mathers, it shows an attempt at being ...

From whatever point of view it may be approached, the Kabalah is of importance: it connects with literatures which are greater than itself and with pregnant issues of history. It is part of the history of philosophy, and as such it once entered into the thought of Europe. It is responsible, broadly speaking, for all that strange tissue of ...
