"Theurgy is ritual magic - but magic that enacts the will of God, not of the magician.  It brings divine energies down to earth, elevating and spiritualizing the world of matter, including the very being and substance of the participants.  Each time the believer takes part with attention and devotion, he or she becomes more attuned to God."
