I.   INTRODUCTION AND BIOGRAPHICAL TIMELINE
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

William Butler Yeats, the famed poet, playwright, and Irish revolutionary,
was also a ceremonial magician.  Understanding his lifelong involvement 
with the occult (and specifically, with the Hermetic Order of the Golden 
Dawn) is crucial for understanding his literary work.  Conversely, the
field of Yeats scholarship is a virtual gold mine for students of the
history of the Golden Dawn, since he ensured that many of his private
papers ended up in collections accessible to the scholarly public.

Below is a brief biographical timeline of Yeats's life, with special
emphasis on his participation in the Golden Dawn.  It does not attempt
in any way to be comprehensive of the many other significant events in
his life, however.

Thanks, by the way, go to LeGrand Cinq-Mars (rjb@u.washington.edu)
and to Peter Cawley (pcawley@island.net) for helpful suggestions to 
this project.

13 Jun 1865    Yeats born in "Georgeville," near Sandymount Castle, Dublin

       1885    Presides over Dublin Hermetic Society

30 Jan 1889    Yeats meets Maud Gonne

   Oct 1889    Joined Esoteric Section of Blavatsky's Theosophical
               Society

               Took as Neophyte (0=0) the magical motto:  "Demon est
               Deus Inversus" (D.E.D.I.,  "the Devil is God inverted")

               About this phrase, Blavatsky said:

     "This symbolic sentence in its many-sided forms is certainly
      most dangerous and iconoclastic in the face of all the dualistic
      later religions -- or rather theologies -- especially so in
      the light of Christianity."

                           - H. P. Blavatsky, _The_Secret_Doctrine_
                             (I, 411-424), quoted by Virginia Moore in
                             _The_Unicorn,_ endnote VI:29.

16 Nov 1891    Maud Gonne joins the Isis-Urania Temple, with 0=0 motto:

   Mar 1901    Yeats publishes  "Is the Order of the R.R. & A.C. to Remain
               a Magical Order?"

       1903    Felkin's Stella Matutina & Waite's Holy Order split.
               Yeats remains with Felkin's Temple, now named "Amoun"

10 Jul 1912    Felkin certifies Yeats's examination for the grade of
               Theoricius Adeptus Minor

16 Oct 1914    Yeats advances to the grade of Adeptus Major (6=5)

       1915    Yeats writes "For initiation of 7=4", an unpublished poem,

       1916    Yeats advances to the grade of Adeptus Exemptus (7=4);
               Felkin emigrates to New Zealand

20 Oct 1917    Yeats marries Georgie Hyde-Lees, with Ezra Pound as 
               best man

       1920    After several years of discord in the Amoun Temple,
               Felkin rejects Yeats as Ruling Chief

       1922    Yeats resigns from the Stella Matutina

       1925    Dedicates _A_Vision_ to "Vestigia" (Moina Mathers):

    "Perhaps this book has been written because a number of young men
     and women, you and I among the number, met nearly forty years ago
     in London and in Paris to discuss mystical philosophy."

       1929    Yeats visits the Hermes Temple of the Stella Matutina,
               in Bristol

28 Jan 1939    Yeats dies at Roquebrune, in the South of France
