As the last great Romantic, WB Yeats drew heavily from the Gnostic and Hermetic traditions. We mine the works of Yeats to find transcendental truths and magical insights. What is the real meaning behind “The Second Coming” and “A Vision”? What are the timeless secrets behind his use of Pagan Irish lore and Hellenistic symbols? What are his stark prophecies that seem to be coming true today?

I must be getting better at synchronicity, I was thinking of Yeats just about the same time that you were. I only wrote a comment in the Secret Sun blog, but of course it’s a lot harder to prepare a podcast with a suitable guest.
Thank you for yet another excellent show. I have been trying to identify the moving music accompanying your inspiring introduction. Could you tell me where it comes from please?
