A complete history of alchemy revealing the subject as much more
than the attempts in early science of turning base metals into gold
or silver, this book goes about intimating the mystical experience
underlying hermetic symbolism. It outlines some of the 'secret'
inner meanings to alchemy - symbolism, metaphysics, and
spirituality. This book contains a universe of information and is
worthwhile reading for anyone wanting to know more on this engaging
subject. Originally published in 1926.
Born Alphonse Louis Constant, French magician Eliphas Levi
(1810-75) wrote prolifically on the occult sciences. His hugely
popular Dogme et rituel de la haute magie, published in French in
1854, was translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite
(1857-1942) in 1896. In the present work, Waite condenses Levi's
two volumes into one. The first part outlines Levi's theory of the
doctrine of transcendent magic and discusses a wide range of
magical phenomena, including bewitchment, Kabbalah and alchemy. The
second part focuses on the practical aspects of ritual and ceremony
in Western occult philosophy. Waite, a mystic and occult historian,
edited several alchemical and magical texts for publication in the
wake of the mid-nineteenth century occult revival. His translation
is accompanied by a preface outlining Levi's colourful career. The
original two-volume French edition is also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection.
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.
Born Alphonse Louis Constant, French magician Eliphas Levi
(1810-75) wrote prolifically on the occult sciences. His Histoire
de la magie was first published in 1860. In it, Levi recounts the
history of the occult in Western thought, encompassing its
biblical, Zoroastrian and ancient Greek origins, various magical
practices of the medieval and early modern periods - including
hermeticism, alchemy and necromancy - and the role of magic in the
French Revolution. The last section of the book describes
nineteenth-century magical practices and includes details of Levi's
own occult experiences. Prepared by Arthur Edward Waite
(1857-1942), this English translation was first published in 1913.
An editor and translator of numerous magical texts, Waite includes
here a preface comprising an eloquent defense of Levi and
intellectual magic. The original French edition is also reissued in
the Cambridge Library Collection.

This early work by Arthur Edward Waite was originally published in
1911 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory
biography. 'The Pictorial Key to the Tarot' is a classic work that
details the significance of the various cards in the tarot deck and
how to read them. Arthur Edward Waite was born on the 2nd of
October, 1857 in America. Waite was a scholarly mystic who wrote
extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator
of the Rider-Waite Tarot 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
proto-science or as the pathology of religion."
2011 Reprint of 1958 London Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is
Levi's first treatise on magic and was translated into English by
Arthur Edward Waite as "Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and
Ritual." Its famous opening lines present the single essential
theme of Occultism and gives some of the flavor of its atmosphere:
"Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of
ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all
initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of
Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on
the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the
monstrous or marvelous paintings which interpret to the faithful of
India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of
our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practised at reception
by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine
which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed. (
From the Introduction)." Levi's version of magic became a great
success, especially after his death. That Spiritualism was popular
on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1850s contributed to this
success. His magical teachings were free from obvious fanaticisms;
he had nothing to sell, and did not pretend to be the initiate of
some ancient or fictitious secret society. He incorporated the
Tarot cards into his magical system, and as a result the Tarot has
been an important part of the paraphernalia of Western magicians.
He had a deep impact on the magic of the Hermetic Order of the
Golden Dawn and later on the ex-Golden Dawn member Aleister
Crowley. He was also the first to declare that a pentagram or
five-pointed star with one point down and two points up represents
evil, while a pentagram with one point up and two points down
represents good. It was largely through the occultists inspired by
him that Levi is remembered as one of the key founders of the
twentieth century revival of magic.
It is the design of the following studies to present in an ordered
sequence the chief aspects which have been assumed by Emblematic
Freemasonry and its connection and developments in the course of
their progress though the past two centuries. Chapters include:
Intimations from the old records; The acception and Robert Fludd;
Ancient York Masonry; The Mystical Quest in Freemasonry; Masonic
Tradition and the Royal Arch; The second birth of Masonry in the
continental rites; Grades of the secrete tradition; Christology of
the secret tradition; The chivalry of the holy temple; The
development of vengeance grades; The alleged masonic peril; The
place of Masonry in the rites of initiation; Appendix.
