Arthur Edward Waite

    Arthur Edward Waite fue un místico erudito que escribió extensamente sobre temas ocultos y esotéricos. Su nombre ha perdurado porque fue el primero en intentar un estudio sistemático de la historia del ocultismo occidental. Lo abordó como una tradición espiritual, en lugar de como aspectos de la proto-ciencia o la patología de la religión. Su prolífica escritura en este campo dejó un legado duradero.

      Exploring the foundations of medieval Western alchemy, this text presents two significant versions: the Latin "Turba Philosophorum," a 13th-century translation of a 10th-century Arabic work, and the 15th-century French "Turba Gallica," likely derived from a Castilian original. Both versions serve as crucial historical documents, reflecting the synthesis of philosophical ideas and alchemical practices of their time.

    • Transcendental Magic is a classic of occultism, prized for its wide-ranging wisdom, thorough guidance and revelatory contents. Written by Eliphas Levi in the mid-19th century, Transcendental Magic offers seekers of occult knowledge a bounty of guidance and knowledge. Informed by research spanning many centuries of arcane arts, the author offers us profound guidance to the ceremonial rituals one must perform in order to make contact with spirits and other non-corporeal entities of the universe. In Levi's explanations we encounter various figures of occult lore. Monad is synonymous with God; the creator of everything contained in our physical plane. Derived from the Pythagorean school, through Levi we learn how Monad interacts with the creation. This discussion is related to the Kabbalah, which attempts to define the relationship between what is infinite and what is finite.
