A poet, novelist, pacifist and mystic, Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) spent her life deeply immersed in the things she wrote about. At first an agnostic, Underhill became drawn to Catholicism, though her husband, a Protestant, tried to dissuade her.

With her work Practical Mysticism, Underhill expounds...

For many people, the word mysticism conjures up occult, secretive rituals held after midnight in some dark cave.

My family is also from Scotland and Northern Ireland so it makes me wonder if I have some Druidic ancestry too. Recently I wrote a book about the Mythical people of Ireland and it also included materials about...

Metaphysics, or the attempt to conceive the world as a whole by means of thought, has been developed, from the first, by the union and conflict of two very different human impulses, the one urging men towards mysticism, the other urging them towards science. Some men have achieved greatness through one of these impulses alone, others through the other alone: in Hume, for example, the scientific impulse reigns quite unchecked, while in Blake a strong...
