Yeats’ work during the 1920s and 1930s, lending theme and structure to Michael Robartes and the Dancer, The Tower, and The Winding Stair and Other Poems. Its introduction tells the story of how characters from his earlier occult fiction - Michael Robartes, Owen Aherne - discover an ancient method for reckoning human identity and destiny according to the phases of the Moon. Yeats then expounds this philosophy, largely through his commentary on a succession of enigmatic figures and diagrams. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Yeats admits in the 1937 edition, he spans this legend to conceal the truth. In fact, the philosophy is drawn from the trance mediumship and automatic writings of his wife, Georgie Hyde-Lees between 1917 and the first publication of A Vision in 1925.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow canvas hardcover with black lettering. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moons Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57178163019942,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0173\/6563\/1040\/files\/IMG_0502.jpg?v=1787691926","url":"https:\/\/moons-rare-books.myshopify.com\/products\/on-magic-the-occult-black-letter-press-reprint","provider":"Moons Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
