1652 Theurgy ENT_THEURGY paired_with Magic 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. Walter Burkert, Greek Religion: Archaic and Classical, trans.
