Theurgy in Late Antiquity
by
Tanaseanu-Dö Ilinca bler; Ilinca Tanaseanu-Dobler
Theurgy is commonly taken to denote a complex of rites which are based on the so-called Chaldean Oracles, a collection of oracles in hexameters, which were probably composed during the late 2nd century AD. These rituals are mostly known through Neoplatonic sources, who engage in a passionate debate about their relevance to the salvation of the soul and thus to the philosopher's ultimate goal.
