Synopsis "The Book of Ceremonial Magic: Including the Rites and Mysteries of Goetic Theurgy, Sorcery, Black Magic Rituals, and Infernal Necromancy"

The Book of Black Magic is Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus of occult lore; this edition contains the author's original icons, symbols, seals and drawings. This supreme guide to occultist history, lore, magick, and ceremony is split into two parts: The first is entitled "The Literature of Ceremonial Magic". Here, Waite examines the ritualistic traditions which surrounding the occult movement for centuries. He notes various texts, and how these had a bearing upon the practice of the occult and of magical ceremony. The second part, "The Complete Grimoire", concerns how those who practice black magic and occult ritual become versed in the craft. The stringent physical and mental requirements, and the need to practice a spiritual attunement and inner ablution, is detailed. Astronomical knowledge of the planets and their movements is a necessity, as is possession of a variety of instruments, plus a deep knowledge of the various symbols and scripts used in occultism.

Arthur Edward Waite (1867-1940) está considerado como uno de los mayores estudiosos y expertos en ocultismo y esoterismo de los últimos tiempos. Miembro de las distintas órdenes como la Masonería, la Rosacruz o la Golden Dawn, fue un profundo conocedor de los saberes ocultos, especialmente de la Cábala y de las tradiciones iniciáticas de Occidente. Escribió numerosas obras, aunque la mayor contribución por la cual fue reconocido universalmente es la de ser creador de la baraja de Tarot que lleva su nombre.
