Occult Yeats: Ireland's Mystic Poet Unveiled

In this 'spoiler free' #bookrecommendations, I delve into three recently published books by W.B. Yeats from Black Letter Press that explore his perspectives on magic, the occult, spiritism, and their connections to art and poetry. 'On Magic and the Occult', 'Spiritus Mundi', and 'A Vision' offer insights into how Yeats associated imagination with mystical experiences and polytheism. He linked magic to the evocation of spirits, reflecting the spiritism fad of his era. Yeats saw naturalism and primitivism as essential for the soul, contrasting with the degeneracy of urban life. The books contain quotes highlighting his views on paganism, beauty, and human passions through the lens of literature.
