<p><strong><em>The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts</em> is Arthur Edward Waite’s complete guide to ceremonial magic, exploring arcane folklore, occult rituals, and the history of esoteric practice.</strong></p>

<p>Regarded as one of the most comprehensive overviews of the occult ever written, <em>The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts</em> remains an essential resource for students of magic and mysticism.</p>
