Arthur Edward Waite is best known for the tarot cards that bear his name. However, the tarot cards he co-created with Pamela Cole Smith at the turn of the 20th century reveal nothing of his contributions to occult literature. Waite was a consummate writer in the areas of mysticism and ceremonial magic. He worked arduously to uncover esoteric knowledge. Waite translated lost manuscripts describing the secret rites of the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, the Templar Knights, and the magical writings of several historically significant occult figures. A.E Waite was also remembered for his association with the legendary Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn or “Golden Dawn.” Waite was an integral member of this group, which included the likes of Samuel Liddell Macgregor Mathers, William Butler Yeats, William Westcott, and the infamous Aleister Crowley. This organization was concerned with the research and experimentation of ancient systems of esoteric knowledge such as the Kabbalah and the Enochian System of Magic. The Golden Dawn gave rise to many of the present-day mystical and magical societies, including several that adopted the name of the Golden Dawn as their own. A.E. Waite passed into transition on May 19, 1942, leaving only his books and tarot cards as his legacy.
