Mythologies was the title W. B. Yeats himself gave to this collection of Irish stories of the supernatural and uncanny, based on country beliefs, traditions, and folk tales, and originally published in the nineties in The Celtic Twilight, The Secret Rose, and Stories of Red Hanrahan. The author's own esoteric speculations and experiences of the same period are described in Rosa Alchemica, The Tables of the Law, and The Adoration of the Magi, and these are followed by Per Amica Silentia Lunae (1917), setting forth the philosophy of the self and antiself which had so marked an influence on his later writings. This book will be essential for all those readers of Yeats' poetry and plays; it reveals that Yeats could work unique enchantment in prose as well as poetry and it further illuminates his extraordinary visionary gifts.
