The ancient world of Egypt, Greece, and Rome was home to a set of
magical and spiritual technologies, called theurgy, that unite the
practice of magic with the aims of religion. Theurgy, or godwork,
is the art of creating a stronger bond between the theurgist and
his or her deities. The results of this stronger bond were
imminently practical: stronger magic, more meaningful existence,
and a better life. With the fall of Rome, these techniques faded
into obscurity, and many of them were lost forever. This book
revives, restores, and reinvents these practices for a contemporary
pagan or magical practitioner. A mixture of scholarly research and
examination of source texts and daring experimentation and
extrapolation leads to a complete and workable system that can
inform a variety of practices, all presented in a relaxed,
lighthearted, and readable way. Whether you practice witchcraft,
ceremonial magic, or chaos magic, you can benefit from the practice
of theurgy. You will learn techniques to create stronger bonds with
divine forces, call up and communicate with spiritual beings,
summon a magical assistant, create statues imbued with divine
spirit, and master your own mind. The ultimate goal is union with
the divine, but theurgy is a practical path, and every step on that
path is designed to improve your life.
Taste real magic. Drawing on her eclectic craft, harnessing
influences from Wiccan and rootwork practices, Anais Alexandre
shares a collection of delicious potions for the modern witch. From
potent cocktails, to restorative elixirs and captivating brews,
this book of drinkable spells offers the powers of time-honoured
wisdom in truly delectable form. Each potion is accompanied by a
simple ritual to supercharge its effectiveness, whether as a
solitary witch or with your coven. Sip on a subtle love potion,
draw monetary fortune your way with a lucky prosperi-tea, or spread
friendship vibes with a warming party punch; as the wheel of the
year turns, discover your own craft through the magic of mixology.
