Arthur Edward Waite's ¿The Book of Black Magic¿ represents an exhaustive guide to the occult, looking at lore, magick, occultist history, ceremony, and much more. It contains a large number of magical spells and occult writings taken from a variety of sources, and it constitutes one of the greatest overviews of occultism by one of the most influential figures in Western occultism. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 ¿ 1942), more commonly referred to as A. E. Waite, was an British scholarly mystic and poet. He was a prolific writer on occult and esoteric subjects who also co-created the Rider-Waite Tarot deck.

"The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross - A History of the Rosicrucians" is Arthur Edward Waite's study of the elusive Rosicrucians, a secret society which the first appeared to the public in Germany in the early 17th century. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 - 1942), more commonly referred to as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British mystic and poet. He wrote profusely on the subject of the occult and esoteric matters, and is famous for being the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. His work arguably constitutes the first attempt to systematically studying the history of western occultism, which he viewed more of a spiritual tradition than proto-science or pseudo-religion, as was the more common conception. Contents include: "Mythical Rosicrucian Precursors", "Militia Crucifera Evangelica", "Alchemists And Mystics Symbolism", "Of The Rose And Cross", "Fama Fraternitatis R C", "Confessio Fraternitatis R C", "The Chemical Nuptials", "Authorship Of The Chemical Nuptials", "Development Of Rosicrucian Literature", etc. Other works by this author include: "The Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly" (1893), "Turba Philsophorum" (1894), and "Devil-Worship in France" (1896). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Book Second: From the Forward - THE MYSTICISM OF A. E. Waite IT happens that when one seeks for the three writers of the most important and significant books on mysticism recently published in England, one immediately calls to mind Dean Inge, Miss Evelyn Underhill, and Mr. A. E. Waite. The first two have in common with one another more than either has with the third. Employing a loose classification, the attitude of Dean Inge towards mysticism may be termed philosophic, that of Miss Underhill scientific, and that of Mr. Waite sacramental. Both Dean Inge and Miss Underhill are associated with the Established Church, but Mr. Waite, while he stands apart from all formal religion, is avowedly sympathetic towards Roman Catholicism. The importance of youthful influences may have been overstressed in recent years, but anyone who attempts to define Mr. Waite's position in the literature of mysticism and neglects to give due consideration to the early influences of this writer is willfully throwing away an important key. It cannot be denied that Dean Inge, although the severest critic of the modern age, with the possible exception of Mr. Chesterton, is nevertheless as much a product of it as Mr. Wells or Mr. Shaw; while of Miss Underhill, it can be said that she is perfectly at ease with current scientific and philosophic speculations. But Mr. Waite stands apart from the life of to-day. His spirit, inasmuch as it pertains to any historical period, unmistakably belongs to the Middle Ages. A conception of the Middle Ages which assumes this period to have been wholly one of superstition and unreason is current. Such a false conception is not intended here. It is not contended that the mind of Mr. Waite lacks logic, nor that he is incapable of analytic and synthetic thought. Indeed, the purpose of this essay is to indicate that Mr. Waite's most important achievement is his acute analysis of the mystic's position. The contention is that, although the method of scientific thought is employed by Mr. Waite, the general outlook of modem man is undeniably foreign to him. His mind is calmer, more reposeful than that of the modem mind, and above all he has certitude and conviction.We are told that Mr. Waite was scarcely out of his teens when one day, while browsing around a second-hand bookseller's, he came across a copy of Eliphas Levi's Dogme et Rituel de I'haute magie. No one who has read this amazing concoction of truth and charlatanism, written in a cunning and fascinating style, can doubt the nature of the impression which it made upon the sensitive mind of Arthur Waite. The glamour of magic is incomprehensible to those who have not sensed it, but to those others who have come under its spell, the very symbol suggests unseen worlds. There can be little speculation as to the effect which magic had upon Mr. Waite in these early days, but it is only necessary to study his writings to discover the extent to which his thought was bound up with ancient magic. Mr. Waite is a voluminous writer and has produced many scholarly and illuminating books, but those which are the most significant and certainly the most relevant to my present purpose are two-The Occult Sciences and Lamps of Western Mysticism.

The book "Devil-Worship in France or The Question of Lucifer" was written by British occultist Arthur Edward Waite. The book explores the phenomenon of purported devil worship and demonic rituals in late 19th-century France through historical and investigative lenses. Waite investigates several incidents and hearsay concerning the presence of occult rituals and secret groups, especially those connected to Lucifer worship. Along with examining the social and political ramifications of such ideas, the book also examines the historical and cultural background of the period. He examines the data and offers a critical evaluation of the assertions regarding the prevalence of devil worship made by certain modern authors and religious leaders. Waite adopts a cynical attitude throughout the book, casting doubt on the reliability of the sources and drawing attention to the hype that frequently surrounds these stories. To offer a more logical explanation for the purported devil-worship phenomena, he makes an effort to distinguish reality from fantasy. The significance of "Devil-Worship in France" lies not just in its examination of occultism but also in its portrayal of the religious tensions and cultural fears that characterized late 19th-century Europe.

Minor Doctrines of St. Martin is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite, which delves into the lesser-known teachings of the French philosopher and mystic, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin. Saint-Martin was a disciple of Jacob Boehme and a prominent figure in the Christian mystical movement known as Quietism. The book explores Saint-Martin's ideas about the nature of God, the soul, and the universe, as well as his views on the role of the individual in spiritual development. Waite provides a detailed analysis of Saint-Martin's writings, drawing on his extensive knowledge of esotericism and occultism. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian mysticism and the development of esoteric thought.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Unknown Philosopher: The Life of Louis Claude de St. Martin and the Substance of His Transcendental Doctrine, by Arthur Edward Waite.
