Horus is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.

-Yeats had a lifelong interest in mysticism, spiritualism, [[occult]]ism and [[astrology]]. He read extensively on the subjects throughout his life, became a member of the paranormal research organisation "The Ghost Club" in 1911. His mystical interests, inspired by a study of [[Hinduism]], formed much of the basis of his late poetry. During séances held from 1912, a spirit calling itself "Leo Africanus" apparently claimed it was Yeats's [[demon|Daemon]] or anti-self.
-During 1885, Yeats was involved in the formation of the Dublin Hermetic Order. That year the Dublin Theosophical lodge was opened in conjunction with Brahmin Mohini Chatterjee, who travelled from the Theosophical Society in London to lecture. Yeats attended his first séance the following year. He later became heavily involved with the Theosophy and with hermeticism, particularly with the eclectic [[Rosicrucian|Rosicrucianism]] of the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]].
