W.B. Yeats — Library Set

Spiritus Mundi—In Yeats’s conception, the spiritus mundi is a universal memory, a collective unconscious that serves as the wellspring of creative inspiration and symbolic imagery. This volume includes selections such as The Second Coming, The Adoration of the Magi, Swedenborg, Mediums and the Desolate Places, and The Celtic Element in Literature.

On Magic and the Occult—This collection delves into Yeats’s esoteric philosophy, revealing his intellectual path shaped by Kabbalistic and Hermetic traditions, particularly the Rosicrucian renaissance of alchemy and magic, with echoes of figures like Maier, Fludd, and Ashmole.

A Vision—Yeats’s metaphysical cornerstone, originally published privately in 1925 and revised in 1937, is an exploration of life’s cyclical rhythms. Drawing on automatic writing (with his wife Georgie Hyde-Lees) and influences ranging from astrology to mystical doctrines, this philosophical treatise illuminates the imaginative and occult dimensions of his art.
