Arthur Edward Waite (2 October 1857 – 19 May 1942), commonly known as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. As his biographer R. A. Gilbert described him, "Waite's 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."

Broken-record note for all who haven't yet discovered all the free book ressources available on the net: Mega.nz has decided to terminate my account due to copyright complaints again - the last time +16 GB of books were lost, this time it's 19 GB, and I'm not sure if I want to go to all that reuploading hassle yet again, either on mega or an alternative hoster, only to see my book stash posted here go down the drain again. The book sharing issue is already being discussed among both forum staff and members but in the meantime I'd like to ask you to download this book from annas-archive.org or welib.org.
There's a copy of the book available on Anna's just waiting for you, so why don't you help yourselves?
Download a zip file with my entire book stash here:

Collection - HoldAll Mega Collection (2025-07-14)
It's 31.06 GB large and contains every single book, paper, treatise, etc. I've ever posted here until my second mega.nz account got trashed on July 14, 2025, so you'll hopefully understand now why I'm so loathe to fulfill each and every reupload request, not least because most of the stuff is...

Thank you for your understanding.
