Eliphas Lévi, pseudonym of Alphonse Louis Constant (1810–1875), was a French occultist, writer, and former seminarian, considered a key figure in the revival of Western esotericism in the 19th century. Although he began his life within Catholicism, he left the priesthood to dedicate himself to writing and esoteric philosophy. His most influential work, *Dogma and Ritual of High Magic* (1854–1856), laid the foundations of modern ceremonial magic. He introduced concepts such as Baphomet and popularized the idea of the “magician” as a spiritual sage. He influenced later occultists like Aleister Crowley and orders like the Golden Dawn. His thought merges Christian symbolism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and astrology.

Arthur Edward Waite (October 2, 1867 - May 19, 1942) is considered one of the greatest scholars and experts in occultism and esotericism of recent times. He belonged to various secret orders, such as Freemasonry, the Rosicrucian Order, and the Golden Dawn, and was noted for his deep knowledge of the Kabbalah and Western mystical traditions.

Although he wrote numerous works, his most famous legacy was the creation of the Tarot deck that bears his name, a contribution that consecrated him worldwide.
