Occult Sciences

Before you is one of the works of the famous occultist of the 20th century, Arthur Edward Waite. Primarily known in history as the creator of the most famous Tarot deck, Arthur Waite also left behind a rich literary legacy. Occult science, or "Occult Sciences," is one of these books.

Although this book is positioned by the author as a "basic textbook for beginner researchers" of occult sciences, its content may also prove to be quite interesting for "advanced users." In addition to an introductory excursion into many forgotten and existing occult movements, the textbook contains detailed descriptions of certain rituals, a critical analysis of superstitions, descriptions of cases of mediumship, practical methods and conditions necessary for summoning spirits, confirmed by numerous experiments, and much more. The value of this textbook is significantly increased by the excerpts used by the author, taken from rare and ancient treatises, many of which, evidently, will never be translated into modern European languages.
