The Fairy-faith in Celtic Countries
In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.
The Secular Religion of Franklin Merrell-Wolff
In The Secular Religion of Franklin Merrell-Wolff: An Intellectual History of Anti-intellectualism in Modern America, Dave Vliegenthart offers an account of the life and teachings of the modern American mystic Franklin Merrell-Wolff (1887–1985), who combined secular and religious sources from eastern and western traditions in order to elaborate and legitimate his metaphysical claim to the realization of a transcendental reality beyond reason. Using Merrell-Wolff as a typical example of a modern western guru, Vliegenthart investigates the larger sociological and historical context of the ongoing grand narrative that asserts a widespread anti-intellectualism in modern American culture, exploring developments in religious, philosophical, and psychological discourses in North America from 1800 until the present.
The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries
Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (February 2, 1878 - July 17, 1965) was an anthropologist and writer. As a teenager, he became interested in the teaching of Theosophy. While at Stanford University, he studied with William James and W. B. Yeats. After receiving his B.A. and M.A. from Stanford, he went to Jesus College, Oxford, to study Celtic mythology and folklore. At that time he added his mother's Welsh surname and was thereafter known as Evans-Wentz. This book, The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries is based on his doctoral thesis at Oxford. It is an extensive survey of the phenomenon of the Celtic belief in fairies from various perspectives, including folklore, history, anthropology, archaeology, and psychology. He later went on to become one of the leading authorities on Tibetan Buddhism.
