Brian Alt on Sacred Materials, Divine Names, and Subtle Physiology in Iamblichean Theurgy
Published 4 years, 3 months ago
Description
We explore the nitty-gritty of the ritual acts lying behind the theoretical discussions in the De mysteriis. Brian Alt is our guide on a journey through Iamblichean theurgy, its many parallels in Hermetica and ‘magical’ papyri from Egypt, and its echoes in earlier and later Platonism.
