About This Item
(UK, 1987): Crucible. First Edition. Octavo. 208 pages, index. The first great study of A.E. Waite who introduced lost occult books which began the Victorian occult revival that influenced W.B. Yeats (who created dramatic rituals for Arthur Machen and a major force in the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross). Charles Williams also followed his lines of thought and used them in his important books. A fine copy bound in pale blue cloth, spine lettering gilt, in a fine unclipped pictorial dust jacket.
