Azoth - Or, The Star in the East e-bog

"e;Azoth - Or The Star in the East"e; is a 1893 work by A. E. Waite. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 - 1942), more commonly referred to as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British mystic and poet. He wrote profusely on the subject of the occult and esoteric matters, and is famous for being the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. His work arguably constitutes the first attempt to systematically studying the history of western occultism, which he viewed more of a spiritual tradition than proto-science or pseudo-religion, as was the more common conception. Contents include: "e;The Agnostic Standpoint as the Threshold of Mysticism"e;, "e;Intellectual Difficulties of a Certain Class of Thinkers"e;. "e;Connection between Religion and Morality"e;, "e;Certain Consolation to be Derived from the Mysteries of Life"e;, "e;Philosophical Basis of this Statement"e;, "e;Appeal of Material Philosophy"e;, "e;Ultimately Worthless Nature of this Life Except as a Preparation for the Higher Life"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
