Bücher von A. E. Waite

Few individuals exerted more influence in "esoteric and occult Masonry" in the late 1800s and early 1900s than A.E. (Arthur) Waite. His hunger for "hidden wisdom" drove him to the study of all matters esoteric. A scholar, magician and Mason, his words drew praise from many, yet were controversial enough to draw a fair amount of criticism ... likely to Waite's delight. This collection of Masonic papers from A.E. Waite represents some of the finest thoughts on the "deeper aspects" of Masonry. Includes: "Discourse on the Fellowcraft Degree;" "Emblematic Freemasonry, Building Guilds and Hermetic Schools;" "Pillars of the Temple;" "The French Mystic and the Story of Modern Martinism;" "The Templars Orders in Freemasonry;" "Some Deeper Aspects of Masonic Symbolism" and more.

The Kabbalah is the occult or secret tradition within Judaism. Waite's comprehensive and annotated guide to this tradition of mysticism is enthusiastic in tone and grounded in scholarship. The author presents and interprets the fundamental ideas within this tradition. He also discusses Kabbalah's foremost interpreters, its impact on Christian scholars, and its reputation as "the secret tradition." Waite's thought-provoking analysis includes a rejection of proposals by earlier occultists that many esoteric practices - alchemy, astrology, and Freemasonry, for instance - are founded on or are integral to Kabbalah
