Arthur Edward Waite (1857 1942), mystic and historian, was an
influential figure in the occult revival of the nineteenth century.
Brought up a devout Catholic, he became increasingly involved in
spiritualism in his late teens following the death of his sister.
Choosing not to enter the priesthood, he pursued instead his
interests in occult philosophy. A translator and editor of several
alchemical texts in the 1890s, Waite also wrote several histories
of magic in his later years. First published in 1902, the present
work establishes Kabbalah's significant influence on
nineteenth-century occultism. The book chronicles the history of
Kabbalist practice from its ancient Hebrew origins to its effect on
other branches of the occult, including Rosicrucianism,
freemasonry, hermeticism and tarot. Waite also connects noted
occultists to Kabbalah, including Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa,
Paracelsus and Eliphas Levi.
