Over de Auteur
Arthur Edward Waite was born on October 2, 1857 in Brooklyn, New York. He was a poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Waite joined the Outer Order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in January 1891 toon meer after being introduced by E.W. Berridge. In 1899 he entered the Second order of the Golden Dawn. He became a Freemason in 1901, and entered the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia in 1902. In 1903 Waite founded the Independent and Rectified Order R. R. et A. C. Waite was a prolific author and many of his works were well received in academic circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, 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. A number of his volumes remain in print, including The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911), The Holy Kabbalah (1929), A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry (1921), and his edited translation of Eliphas Levi's 1896 Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual (1910), having seen reprints in recent years. Waite also wrote two allegorical fantasy novels, Prince Starbeam (1889) and The Quest of the Golden Stairs (1893). (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

“De mystieke school wordt waarschijnlijk het beste vertegenwoordigd door Dr.George Oliver en later door A.E.Waite…Waite was er evenals Oliver van overtuigd dat de Vrijmetselarij in wezen christelijk van
karakter was. Hij geloofde dat de Vrijmetselarij haar oorsprong ontleent aan de middeleeuwse gilden, maar dat zij zich heeft getransformeerd tot een stelsel, gericht op het beleven van mystieke ervaringen. Haar ritualen, in het bizonder die van de ‘hogere graden’, zouden een geheime leer bevatten volgens de tradities van de antieke mysteriediensten. Zijn nogal slordige New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, met haar zware nadruk op allerlei bestaande en reeds lang verdwenen hoge graden, werd bij het verschijnen in 1921 door de authentieke school met felle kritiek overladen.”
R.A.Gilbert in AQC 99 (1986) p.99 :
“A new Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry was finally published in March 1921, Waite’s delight at its appearance being tempered by his expectation that ‘the vested authorities and the diehards of dead Masonry might rise up of course to curse me’. And so they did.”… (meer)
