What is theurgy?

I’ve been rewatching Midnight Mass on Netflix. Now on the last episode. The consensus interpretation seems to be that it’s an anti-religious/anti-Catholic show. What’s weird - to me - is that I see it as religious. [see below the fold]

I recently had a conversation with my daughter during which she said that she has often felt that life is a dream. Not as an “idea” felt, but truly “felt” its existential possibility as real. I never have. Have you?

I love this painting. The will and courage of the sorceress facing higher powers, perhaps demonic, is thrilling. The painter captures the spirit of the spiritual seeker facing the unknown with forceful determination. The OP provides excellent commentary.

a lovely Black Witch moth visited us yesterday and clung to the screen door.

One of my concerns is that modern lifeways and technology will destroy something essential in us humans, something that comprises who and what we are. Kierkegaard calls this quality "primitivity". This Welsh word captures another aspect of that essential quality.

Morton Smith says that the Egyptian priests had many religious tattoos, and that Jesus and Paul were said to have had them as well. This photo of Princess and Priestess Takushit always makes me want to tat a few on my body. But which ones?

Considered to be one of th most influential hermetic texts of the Medieval era. It reflects Neoplatonic ideas in very succinct and illuminating ways. It is purportedly the consensus set of 24 definitions of God in every aspect.

What’s your pick for most occult song? I’ve asked Google AI but was unhappy with its choices, except this mesmerizing music by Jimmy Page for the occult classic film, Lucifer Rising. Some people find it incredibly unsettling. I do not, though I find it eery and weird.

I divorced myself from Christianity after reading the Greek philosopher Proclus’s Elements of Theology. It became obvious that Christianity had not only “borrowed” from Neoplatonism but had stolen from it and covered up the crime.

I was just banned from r/occult. For posting that picture of the tree on top of a rock pillar, I guess. I had not known it was AI - I am still learning how to detect those - but that has to be the reason. Either that or someone complained about being called "unique" and stardust! LOL

you are unique...

You are unique. One of a kind in a universe unkind to singularity. You are ineffable in a world that stifles and punishes mystery. Seek your true place and sink your roots. You will rise to greet the sun morning and night, and the stars will acknowledge their own.

Today I begin a two-day enactment of the theurgic celebration of Aphrodite, the Philomeidesion. All hail, Aphrodite.

🌹 Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. In Rome she was Venus, although she traces her origins to the Levant: Inanna, Ishtar, and Astarte. 🌹 Whatever we call her, we are here to revive her religion, spread her worship, and bring her blessings to the world. 🌹

My short rosary rite for our Holy Mother Hekate is now available as an iBook on Apple. I'm making it available as an e-book now, but I'll probably publish and sell a few hardcopies in the next few months.

Today I begin a two-day celebration of Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and cosmic harmony. She brings to the gate all seek truth in beauty and beauty in truth. She guides nature to fruitful completion. She brings her devotee to the light that shines through all exterior facade and false allure.
