Autor

Arthur Edward Waite (1857–1942) was a scholarly mystic and prolific author with a profound interest in the occult and esoteric studies. A writer who occupied the transition period between 19th-century occultism and 20th-century research into mystical and esoteric traditions, Waite is best known for his works on the Holy Grail, ceremonial magic, and the interpretation of the Tarot. His encyclopedic knowledge led to the creation of authoritative texts in the field of occultism, among which 'The Pictorial Key to the Tarot' has been particularly influential. 'Devil-Worship in France; or, The Question of Lucifer' stands out among his works, showcasing his critical approach to the sensational accusations and myths surrounding devil worship at the turn of the century. A member of various esoteric societies, including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Waite's writings display an inclination towards the mystical and a pursuit for understanding the deeper truths behind esoteric symbolism. Waite's literary style is characterized by meticulous research and a somewhat formal prose, indicative of his era and academic rigor. His comprehensive body of work has continued to support and shape contemporary understandings of mysticism and the Western esoteric tradition.
