by Arthur Edward Waite (Author)
The Hermetic Rite of Pernety is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite, first published in 1897. It is a study and translation of a 18th-century French esoteric text called ""La Clef de la Magie Noire"" (The Key to Black Magic) by Dom Antoine-Joseph Pernety. The book explores the Hermetic tradition, a philosophical and mystical tradition that originated in ancient Egypt and Greece, and was later developed by alchemists and occultists in Europe during the Renaissance. Waite provides a detailed analysis of Pernety's work, which includes teachings on astrology, divination, magic, and theurgy. The book also includes Waite's own commentary and interpretation of the text, as well as an introduction to Hermeticism and its history. The Hermetic Rite of Pernety is considered a classic of Hermetic literature and is highly regarded by scholars and practitioners of the occult.THIS 16 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Secret Tradition in Freemasonry, by Arthur Edward Waite.
