"AE" (George Russell)
AE was a visionary who literally wrote the book on how to cultivate mystical awareness and powers (The Candle of Vision, 1918). A friend of Yeats and a key figure in the Irish Renaissance, he was a gifted painter, poet and prose writer, as well as a political reformer, but the core of his life was the spiritual world. He considered clear dreams to be as revelatory as (indeed indistinguishable from) the highest waking, intentional visions. The two best examples below are Over the Volcano and Planet-Sculpting Ape.
RELATED TOPICS: Yeats - other dreamworkers of the era: Carl Jung - Sigmund Freud - William Archer - Edwin Muir - E.M. Martin - Mary Arnold-Forster - Havelock Ellis - an earlier mystic influencing both Yeats and AE: Anna Kingsford -- See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
