Author Description

A. E. Waite, an American-born British scholarly mystic,wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters. His name has survived because he was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of western occultism--viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of proto-science or as the pathology of religion. His books on Freemasonry, Kabala, Rose-Croix, Alchemy, and all those subjects that forever have intrigued human beings --because of our need to know what some people don't want us to know-- are the best and more serious on the subjects. Yet, they are extremely difficult to find, which make us wonder, why? Who is suppressing these jewels of knowledge? We have endeavored to rescue and publish all his books. THE SECRET TRADITION IN FREEMASONRY (two volumes in one, with all the original symbolic illustrations) is the first of many to come.
