Trips continued to Findias (air), and Gorias (fire), where Pollexfen saw the lower part of the fire God Aengus (“passive form of Lug”). Next, they went to Murias (water), where a Druid showed them a bath full of indolent bathers. Yeats and Pollexfen went – or thought they went – with help of talismans to Falias, wherein a rough stone house George saw a skeleton of gold with diamond teeth. Beyond these Elemental Initiations came that of the White Globe, governed by the elder-god Elathan (front cover). Gonne also received the Initiation of the Stone (earth) whereas Yeats had attracted the powers of the Wand (air) signifying supernatural inspiration.
On questioning the four Druids, Maud Gonne discovered she and Yeats had received the Initiation of the Cauldron (purification/water). Virginia Moore transcribes in 1954 this record of these three Celtic Twilight magicians exploring the four fabled “Cities,” of Falias, Murius, Findias, and Gorias – regions of the four elements, earth, water, air, and fire – under their respective Gods (the Dagda, Danu, Brigid, and Lugh) and High Druids. A black imitation-leather, gold unpublished notebook dated December 1898, shows us the Yeats-Gonne-Pollexfen team at work.
