A cornerstone text of Western ceremonial magic. Arthur Edward Waite compiles and interprets key grimoires and magical systems from the medieval and early modern period, making them accessible without needing rare manuscripts.
This edition brings together material from The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts and expands it into a structured overview of ritual magic, including methods, hierarchies of spirits, and classical sources like the Lesser Key of Solomon.
Part study, part reference, part working manual. Dense, historical, and still widely cited in occult circles.
