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?
