Arthur EdwardWaite(1857-1942) was an English mystic and historian of occultism who was raised by his devout Roman Catholic mother. However after the death of his sister in 1874 Waite was drawn to spiritualism and from there to theosophy, alchemy and the occult.

He was actively involved in the occult revival of the late 19th century, being a member of the Golden Dawn and a founder of the Alchemical Society.

But Waite was never truly an occultist. He saw himself as a mystic seeking what he termed the "secret tradition\', the knowledge by which man can achieve union with the divine. It was to further this search that Waite joined the Freemasons in 1901 and rapidly joined every masonic order open to him. This work, one of his most ambitious, was the result.
