Dear David and list,
 
Yes, as one of Yeatsians, Neil Mann is great Yeatsian and scholar: http://www.yeatsvision.com/
In my research and my intuition, Yeats was a natrual Gnostic, magician so he was interested in Rosicrcuianism. However I guess he almost depended on the unknown instructors words and he should follow them because he was a spiritualist such as Boehme, Swedenborg, and Blake.  I recommend The Mystery Religion of W.B. Yeats by Granam Hough and W.B. Yeats and W.T. Horton: the record of an Occult Friendship by George Mills Harper. Horton was a spiritualist and he might be connected with Yeats's vision so he could see the Immortal Rose in the world, Yeats's beloved.  They did not agree with their thought but they could keep their friendship by spiritual vision on the Divien feminine. 
 
   I am sure Yeats is waiting for  his descendants as current magicians. If time is gone, everything will come true, because  that is Magic, God's will.  Yes, a real great magician is God-worker. He could see and hear the God's Voice and Will. However as a human, nobody can't know the Truth  until it come true.  Although Yeats could not know all he could embody all.
Yeats left his Will to his descendants through his whole poetry books and he seems to defeated magician but I understood  his prophetic poetry is coming true.  Therefore, I try to open the meaning by my own interpretation. He prophesied all. That is a real magic. A real White Magic comes true as the right time is coming. You can read his poem "The Tower":
 
It is time that I wrote my will;
I choose upstanding men
That climb the streams until
The fountain leap, and at dawn
Drop their cast at the side
Of dripping stone; I declare
They shall inherit my pride,
The pride of people that were
Bound neither to Cause nor to State.
Neither to slaves that were spat on,
Nor to the tyrants that spat,
 
Yes he expected "upstanding men."  That is magic by magician, God-Worker.
Yeats played the masculine principle instead of Jesus Christ, the Archetypal image of the masculine principle. His beloved, the feminine principle will open his magic as Arthur can take out the Sword. There is no enemy but time for Sophia, Universal God.  Yeats and Trojan Heroes bet Helen of Troy, and they were defeated because the right time was not come yet.    
I want to tell Yeats was and is the great Magician as Christ's messenger. He dedicated his life to bloom Rose Tree:
 
 
'But where can we draw water,'
Said Pearse to Connolly,
'When all the wells are parched away?
O plain as plain can be
There's nothing but our own red blood
Can make a right Rose Tree.'  ("The Rose Tree")
 
I hope to tell bravely who Yeats was and is to all sages. You may meditate this poem, the great magic power:
 
I  had this thought a while ago,
'My darling cannot understand
What I have done, or what would do
In this blind bitter land.'
And I grew weary of the sun
Until my thoughts cleared up again,
Remembering that the best I have done
Was done to make it plain;
That every year I have cried, 'At length
My darling understands it all,
Because I have come into my strength,
And words obey my call';
That had she done so who can say
What would have shaken from the sieve?
I might have thrown poor words away
And been content to live.  ("Words")
 
Yes, Yeats lived in "blind bitter land,"  the  masculine god's age. Yeats told that "I grew weary of the sun." The sun symbolizes masculine god, Sophia's enemy. Yeats, the great white magician dedicated to his life to the Divine feminine, Isis-Sophia, Sophia-Christ and at last she awakened as the right time comes: "'At length / My darling understands it all, / Because I have come into my strength ." Who is his darling? Who is  Holy Grail? What is the most precious White Magic in the world? I ran to all the sages to tell his magic power and prophecy but I found out there are no longer Yeats's descendants and I was surprised at the real world. And I should take a heavy burden to run to all  sages to know.    I understood Yeats's agony and prophecy so I should run and run even I found out "Knave and dolt."
I am a weaker but I follow the desire and I know his powerful magic is not fake at all. I am proud of my knowledge and words. I should help Yeats because I am Oneness with the masculine principle as the feminine principle. We are all same condition we need to achieve Great Work, "Profane perfection of Body," by unity the masculine and the feminine principles. That is simple but the blind cannot see Light.
 
I am so glad you can discuss about W.B. Yeats, the great and sole priest for Sophia.
 
    Best Regards,
       Mina

Oops, I forgot to say, on the alchemy link, the Bennett book makes explicit links between paracelsus and later forms of philosophical re-enchantment, e.g. Deleuze

Hi,

Hi Caroline

This book, by Alex Owen, is also very interesting:

The Place of Enchantment : British Occultism and the Culture of the Modern
(ISBN: 0226642011) - University Of Chicago Press, 2004

Available on AbeBooks:
<http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?&isbn=0226642011&nsa=1>

It has a lot of information about Yeats, Florence Farr, Annie Horniman,
etc. and it is very well written.

I would also have said Yeats' own work, "A Vision" was indispensable for
those interested in his magic.
