We delve into theurgy in ancient Greek culture. This study includes Homeric Greek and dactylic hexameter use in the Chaldean Oracles and examines the connection between shamanic practices and theurgic rites. We shall also analyze the theurgic themes and events in the Odyssey and the philosophical theory and ritual practices described by Neoplatonists. And prepare to get acquainted with the goddess Hekate and the method of telestikē and its ties to ancient Egyptian and Greek traditions.Astral Guest – P.D.
