Paths to Power

The Books of Waite Tarot Works.

Arthur Edward Waite (2 October 1857 – 19 May 1942) was a British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider–Waite Tarot (also called the Rider–Waite–Smith or Waite–Smith 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."

Waite is best known for his involvement with the Rider–Waite Tarot, first published in 1910, with illustrations by fellow Golden Dawn member Pamela Colman Smith. Waite authored the deck's companion volume, the Key to the Tarot, republished in expanded form in 1911 as the Pictorial Key to the Tarot, a guide to tarot reading. Prior to the publication of this deck, many esoteric tarot readers used the Tarot of Marseilles playing card deck. The Rider-Waite deck has gone on to have a large influence on contemporary tarot card reading.

This publication I have combined the following three books/articles on the Tarot into one compendium edition. This will be a valuable reference guide to those who wish to study the mysteries of the Tarot.

“The Pictorial Key to the Tarot”, "The Great Symbols of the Tarot", and “The Book of the Secret Word and the Higher Way to Fortune”,
