Theurgia or the Egyptian Mysteries is a book written by Iamblichos, a philosopher and mystic who lived in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.

He also explores the concept of theurgy, which he defines as the art of divine communication through ritual and prayer.Throughout the book, Iamblichos draws on the teachings of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Pythagoras, as well as the writings of earlier Egyptian mystics and priests. He argues that the true purpose of the Egyptian religion is not simply to gain material wealth or power, but to attain spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine.The book is considered a classic of ancient mysticism and has been highly influential in the development of Western esotericism. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners of mysticism, as well as anyone interested in the history and philosophy of ancient Egypt.1911.
