Arthur Edward Waite (October 2, 1857 - May 19, 1942) was an occultist and co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck.Born in the United States, and raised in England, A.E. Waite joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1891 and also entered the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia in 1902. The Golden Dawn was torn by further internal feuding until Waite's departure in 1914; a year later he formed the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, not to be confused with the Rosicrucians. By that time there existed some half-dozen offshoots from the original Golden Dawn, and as a whole it never recovered.Waite, Arthur Edward is the author of 'Devil-Worship in France or the Question of Lucifer', published 2007 under ISBN 9781594629044 and ISBN 1594629048.
