Russell worked for many years with the Irish Agricultural Organization Society (IAOS), a farm and land co-op. He became an important organizer and spokesman for the group, helping to establish local credit unions that would work for the people they served and build local communities. The farm co-op stood in opposition to the established banks that answered only to their stockholders in London.
Russell was a close friend of his contemporary, W. B. Yeats.
As with many spiritually-minded people of his era, he was a theosophist, interested in clairvoyance and Eastern mysticism.
He adopted his pen name "AE" for Aeon, to suggest the transcendent quest of the human spirit.
