Book Synopsis

Waite (1857-1942) was one of Britain's foremost writers on occult themes during the early 20th century, but is probably best known now as creator of the most popular deck of Tarot cards during the 1960s. His account of the related arcane mystical Jewish tradition was first published by Williams and Norgate, London. This edition includes the introduction to the University Books edition of 1960 by poet Kenneth Rexroth. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
