The way to the gods was never lost. It has been kept in temples and books, and it lives today in the practice of its teachings. For the Love of the Gods tells the epic story of theurgy, from its roots in ancient Egypt to its modern day practice. With imagined dialogues between the most influential Western philosophers and their students, and hands-on instructions for theurgic practices, this book is a comprehensive guide to god-work past and present. Join Brandy Williams as she shows how to participate in the life of the gods. Discover the deities specific to theurgy and the most important techniques for approaching the gods: offering devotionals, creating living statues, invoking into ourselves and others, and achieving personal communion.
