    Arthur Edward Waite

    Arthur Edward Waite (October 2, 1857 - May 19, 1942) was an occultist and co-creator
    of the the popular and widely used Rider-Waite Tarot deck and author of its companion
    volume, the Pictorial Key to the Tarot. This was notable for being one of the first decks to
    illustrate all 78 cards fully, as opposed to the 22 major arcana.
    Waite was a prolific author with many of his works being well received in academic
    circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, Rosicrucianism,
    freemasonry, black and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated
    and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works. His works on the Holy
    Grail, influenced by his friendship with Arthur Machen, were particularly notable. A
    number of his volumes remain in print, The Book of Ceremonial Magic, The Holy
    Kabbalah, and New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry having seen reprints in recent years.
