The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

Uncle Jerry discusses how his interest in tarot cards originated from reading the poetry of William Butler Yeats, noting that Yeats was a master of a Rosicrucian fellowship and many of his poems refer to tarot cards. While not a direct reference in The Prophecy's lyrics, Uncle Jerry uses Yeats as contextual background for understanding the tarot tradition that Taylor draws upon in this song.
