Book Discussion Yeats, A Vision

[Xenophon]

I read this for the first time this Spring. At the time I was impressed, till he mentioned how the spirits themselves expressed surprise at what they dictated. A curious situation: a gobsmacked secretary taking dictation for an equally nonplussed coterie of spirit authors. The book IS haunting, but I am not sure it leads anywhere? Maybe it warrants a second, closer read.
Anyone else read the book? reactions?

I think John Michael Greer intends to make A Vision his next book club reading, after he finishes with Levi's Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic.

I should read A Vision. ... Maybe after I make myself get through Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson by Gurdjieff.

Be prepared to read a few pages then set the thing aside for a spell to ponder. It can grow on you, despite my somewhat lukewarm assessment above.
