Famed as the muse of W. B. Yeats, Maud Gonne shared with him a fascination of the occult. In her autobiography, A Servant of the Queen, Maud intermixes a number of paranormal and occult experiences with her campaign for Irish freedom. Throughout her life she feels the presence of otherworldly forces guiding her and punishing her enemies...

Crowley attacking Yeats on the astral plane, etc... and Yeats rallying a bunch of white magicians to protect the main temple in London... This is straight out of a Doctor Strange movie. Except that Yeats and the others had these experiences long before 1963, when Doctor Strange made his debut appearance in a comic book. This is incredible shit. Now I wonder if Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (comic book creators of Doctor Strange) knew of Yeats' strange happenings, and fictionalized them. If so (and I don't know either way), that would make W.B. Yeats the prototype of Doctor Strange.

Also, I love how much effort and research you have put into this! Like many, I thought that she was a fool to have not been with Yeats cuz come on now who doesn't want to be with the guy who adores you and creates great art and literature being inspired by you, the muse? No one! But that is because I only knew so little about her and so little about him! I feel like we were so quick to judge her and had you not made this video we would have never known her reasons and sufferings. This project does justice to her life and if her belief in spirits is, in fact, true then I think she would be happy knowing that finally, someone understands her!

Thd figure that appeared at the foot of her bed blamed herself for the deathbof her child. This made Maud nervous becauze of past trauma and refused to ackowledge the figure I feel. I hope Maud doesnt mind me saying. I love her. This us Justice you see for her?❤

The fairies snatched her away.

I always thought why would Maud ever not love or like or marry Yeats but now it's clear to me that even though they were working towards the same cause and had the same mindset, they weren't really the same sort of person if that makes sense. Both may have been using the other and sometimes even been jealous and thus taken actions, not from a sound mind. I would like to them to have lived happily ever after before I came to know so much about them but now, it just doesn't feel right.

@TheIrishNationLives 3 года назад

A very good analysis. Maud was worried that Yeats would grow tired of her or expect her to give up on her activism and settle down. She also felt he wrote his best work BECAUSE of the unhappiness she caused him by not marrying him! If things had been different and they hadn't lived in such a dramatic time I think they would have been together.

@@TheIrishNationLives I think it ultimately came down to politics more than anything else. Yeats was an elitist, anti-republican and arguably a proto-fascist. (Yeats was close friends with fascist Ezra Pound.) Yeats was also a fanatical supporter of the Golden Dawn. Maud left G.D. after discovering their ties to Freemasonry, which she believed to be rooted in British imperialism. Yeats' uncle George Thomas Pollexfen was a G.D. member and a mason, so Yeats was likely fully aware of G.D.'s masonic origins, despite feigning ignorance to Maud.

Automatic writing was done by his new wife, Georgie, who was also a member of Golden Dawn...

Have you a biography? Your content is fascinating.

@TheIrishNationLives Год назад

No, and sadly this channel has fallen by the wayside a bit. I'm finishing a masters at the moment and am hoping to get it going again afterwards. Thanks very much for checking out this video. If you're interested I have another channel where I look at Irish history through video games, here's a video where I recreated the H-Blocks in Prison Architect: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s_3r1AYV4K0.html

W B Yeats loves Maud. 💜 🧡

@TheIrishNationLives 4 года назад

I don't think the feeling was mutual though!

@TheIrishNationLives 4 года назад

@@marcelloferri2028I was commenting on the fact that Maud didn't love Yeats back. He proposed to her multiple times which she turned down, after one of them he proposed to her daughter

@keithp6699 2 года назад

And when he couldn't have her he tried to marry her daughter Iseult

@natashapope3785 Месяц назад

Mauds child died. She cracked wide open. George. At 2 years. Then she conceived Essie , by Georges tomb side in France, in the hope George would come back to her. Maud tried to conceal Essies identity. The Masons are weird from my perspective. I hope you dont mind me saying. Shouldnt dabble. Unhealthy in my opinion, sacred journey IS life too.I knew Yeats was that. Maud wasnt interested. He was a predator I feel. Unhealthy. Couldnt accept No. And went for her daughter? Weird I feel. OA knew too.
