| 1652 | ENT_THEURGY | paired_with | ENT_MAGIC | medium | Theurgy and magic are paired as overlapping late-antique ritual categories that the tradition itself labored to distinguish: theurgy (theurgía) claimed divine sanction and soul-ascent; magic (goeteia/mageia) was the pejorative other. Iamblichus De Mysteriis I.1-2 is the key text defending the distinction. They share techniques while differing in theological framing. | SRC_BURKERT_GREEK_RELIGION | reviewed |
