""The Threshold of Magical Science"" by Arthur Edward Waite is a book that explores the history, philosophy, and practice of magic. Waite, a prominent occultist and member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, draws on his extensive knowledge of esoteric traditions to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject. The book covers topics such as the origins of magic, the symbolism of the tarot, the use of ritual and ceremony, and the role of the magician in society. Waite also discusses the relationship between magic and science, arguing that the two are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary disciplines. Throughout the book, Waite emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in the practice of magic and encourages readers to approach the subject with a spirit of reverence and humility. ""The Threshold of Magical Science"" is a thought-provoking and informative work that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and practice of magic.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mysteries of Magic: A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi, by Arthur Edward Waite.
