Pagan Theurgy of Eros with Dr. John Opsopaus

Join us Sunday September 14th @ 11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST for Pagan Theurgy of Eros with Dr. John Opsopaus
Theurgy is the ritual process for communication with the Gods. Our Pagan ancestors used the power of Eros to ascend to Divinity, proceeding through initiatory stages of Purification, Illumination, and Divine Union, which parallel those in the ancient Mysteries. The process was outlined by Diotima, the wise woman in Plato’s “Symposium,” and further developed by the Pagan Neoplatonists and Renaissance magicians. In this workshop I will describe the steps in the Ascent by Love as taught by the Neoplatonists. We will do visualizations and contemplative exercises so you can learn the technique and can apply it later, alone or with a partner.
