Rediscover the Magick of the Gods and Goddesses: Revealing the Mysteries of Theurgy

by Jean-Louis de Biasi

The philosophical roots of much of Wicca and Paganism, as well as Western ceremonial magick, come from ancient Egypt. In this thoroughly researched book, the Grand Master of the Aurum Solis shares the history and evolution of the theurgic tradition―including the origins of Hermeticism in Egypt and the Mediterranean world, the birthplace of the theurgic tradition―and how-to instructions for discovering the presence of the divine in the world. Providing a seven-step system of exercises and rituals to help the reader achieve higher levels of consciousness, Jean-Louis de Biasi also includes tips and techniques for working with sacred texts, information about the five temples of the human being, The Great Work, the three cosmic rituals, and the real planetary days. A valuable resource for those interested in the history and practices of the Western Mystery Tradition.

It's a very interesting read. It's obvious that the author is an expert on the subject and has meticulously researched every chapter of the book. I didn't really know what Theurgy even was, but I'm so glad I read this book.

It's very well written, so is a valuable resource for newbies and experts alike. Each chapter has exercises that are relevant and easily followed.

Like all Llewellyn books, this is a wonderful resource and a beautiful book.

Review to come.

This book is a very enlightening look into the system of Theurgy that can be traced all the way back to the Greek Philosophers. It has some eye-opening twists when looking at the parts that define these systems and demonstrates some components that were left out due to cultural differences.

I could not really connect with the style of writing. Another critical point was the author's egocentric view. Magick's way is humility, which I could not find in his writing. There are not many, but there are other authors who are more knowledgeable and humble.

I didn't finish this book. I just didn't connect with the writing style and didn't find it to be useful for me at this time.
