** "The Tables of the Law; & The Adoration of the Magi" by W. B. Yeats, explores the realms of spirituality and the mystical, seemingly created in the early 1900s. It considers the force of want, how art meets religion, and the tangled mess of being human when looked at through philosophy and religion. The first story sees two men talking; where Aherne, greatly interested in mystical theology, reveals he has a special text from Joachim of Flora, which talks about how spiritual kingdoms change and introduces a questionable idea of divine law. The second tale follows three older men traveling from an Irish island to Paris looking for knowledge. Their journey to find the names of gods leads to a powerful understanding of what truly lasts. The stories weave folklore, spiritual searches, and the drive to create art through strong images and thought-provoking conversations. **
The Tables of the Law; & The Adoration of the Magi
