The Way of Divine Union: Being a Doctrine of Experience in the Life of Sanctity, Considered on the Faith of its Testimonies and Interpreted After a New Manner

First published in 1915, “The Way of Divine Union” is a fascinating book on the subject of mysticism 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: “Characteristics of the Present Age in Respect of the Church and the World”, “In Respect of Relations between God, Man, and the Universe”, “The True Life of These Subjects”, “Experience of the Mystical Life”, “Immediate Answers Which It Offers”, etc. Other works by this author include: “The Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly” (1893), “Turba Philsophorum” (1894), and “Devil-Worship in France” (1896). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
