Inhaltsangabe

The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts is Arthur Edward Waite's complete guide to ceremonial magic, exploring arcane folklore, occult rituals, and the history of esoteric practice.

Far more than a simple collection of spells, this volume offers a scholarly examination of the philosophies, symbols, and ceremonial systems that shaped the Western magical tradition. Drawing from a wide range of rare manuscripts and texts, Waite, the renowned mystic and co-creator of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck, examines subjects such as the antiquity of magical rituals, the literature of ceremonial magic, and the methods and mysteries of transcendental magic.

Regarded as one of the most comprehensive overviews of the occult ever written, The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts remains an essential resource for students of magic and mysticism.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Arthur Edward Waite (1857-1942) was a British scholarly mystic and poet, born in Brooklyn, New York. He was raised in England and educated at a small private school in London. After his sister's death in 1874, he began psychical research and started reading into esoterism. In January 1891, Waite joined the Outer Order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He's best known for his co-creation of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, which was first published in 1910. Waite also wrote multiple books on the occult, such as the 1923 guide, The Occult Sciences - A Compendium of Transcendental Doctrine and Experiment.
