The Candle of Vision

Known to his contemporaries as the Myriad-Mind Man George William Russell (1867-1935) was an artist a journalist a poet a playwright a mystic a seer and much else besides. A friend and rival of W B Yeats Russell - or AE as he liked to be known - played an important part in the Celtic Revival of the early twentieth century wielding an influence which today is largely forgotten. In The Candle of Vision Russell attempts to describe the revelations and visions that came to him with increasing frequency from his early twenties messages and intuitions that convinced him that the Golden Age was all about me and it was we who had been blind to it but that it had never passed away from the world. The author treats of clairvoyance astral travel of the Language of the Gods of Celtic Nature Visions and meetings with what in todays world view we would regard as UFOs. This is a must-read book for all those fascinated by Nature mysticism and Celtic lore.
