The research examines how Yeats combined mystical elements with modernist techniques throughout his poetry as his literary works achieved worldwide recognition for being the most vital of the twentieth century. The study first examines Irish mythology along with folklore and religious practices that Yeats studied in his early life to establish their impact on his poetic mysticism. Yeats obtained spiritual artistic inspiration by joining mystical organizations including Theosophy and the Golden Dawn where he acquired symbolic and esoteric religious elements. After World War I and Irish independence activism Yeats evolved his poetic style toward modernistic aesthetics through historical changes that combined with his writing techniques for directness and deep symbolism and philosophical depth. The essential meanings Yeats employed in his work allowed him to examine modern uncertainties in a critical manner as he used literature to pursue spiritual growth in his collected works. The historical changes no longer affect the spiritual strength of his artistic work which remains evident in his literary compositions.
