Arthur
Edward Waite was an Occultist, Mystic, Freemason and co-creator of the
Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Waite joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn in 1891, becoming one of its leading figures. He also joined
Runymede Lodge, a Masonic temple, in 1901 and the Societas Rosicruciana
in Anglia, a Rosicrucian temple, in 1902. He rose high in both of these
orders, eventually becoming Master of Runymede Lodge in 1910. The
Golden Dawn was torn by internal feuding until Waite's departure in
1914; a year later he formed the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, not to
be confused with the Rosicrucians. Waite was a prolific author with
many of his works being well received in academic circles. He wrote
occult texts on subjects including divination, Rosicrucianism,
freemasonry, black and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also
translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical
works. His works on the Holy Grail, influenced by his friendship with
Arthur Machen, were particularly notable.Waite is best known as
the co-creator of the popular and widely used Rider-Waite Tarot deck
and author of its companion volume, the Pictorial Key to the Tarot.
This was notable for being one of the first decks to illustrate all 78
cards fully, as opposed to the 22 major arcana. Golden Dawn member
Pamela Colman Smith illustrated the cards. The deck was first published
in 1910. A number of Waite’s volumes remain in print today, which shows
his degree of popularity.Book of Ceremonial MagicA.E Waite A Magician of Many PartsHermetic and Rosicrucian Mystery - AE WaiteOrdo Roseae Rubeae et Aureae CrucisThe Doctrine and Literature of the KabalahThe Hermetic MuseumThe Secret Doctrine in Israel, and Turba PhilosophorumIt
