A E Waite - Author of Rider Waite Tarot cards
A E Waite - Designer of the Rider Waite Tarot
A E Waite – also known as Arthur Edward Waite – was the designer and co-creator of the now famous Rider Waite Tarot deck.
The classic Rider Waite Tarot was the first tarot deck to fully illustrate all 78 cards, with detailed pictures on the minor arcana cards. The cards were commissioned by Waite and drawn by Pamela Colman-Smith, one of his contemporaries.
Waite was born in 1857 in the US, but was brought up from a young age in Britain, after his father died. The death of his sister in 1874 is believed to have been one of the factors that got him interested in esotericism and psychic research. In 1891, Waite joined the Hemetic Order of the Golden Dawn, became a Freemason in 1901 and entered the Societas Rosicruciana in 1902. He later formed the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross in 1914.
His strong interest in all esoteric matters, such as divination, magic, Kabbalism, alchemy and Freemasony, led to him penning a number of books. These include the Key to the Tarot, The Book of Ceremonial Magic and A New Encyclopedia of Freemasony. He was also involved in translating other key works, such as Levi’s Transcendental Magic.
