Excerpt from The Secret Societies of All Ages and Countries, Vol. 2 of 2
The wisest of the pagan world, and their greatest philosophers, held Theurgic Magic in the highest esteem. Theurgy was, according to them, a divine art which served only to advance the mind of man to the highest perfection, and they who by means of this magic had the happiness to arrive at what they called Autopsia or Intuition, a state wherein they enjoyed intimate intercourse with the gods, believed themselves invested with all their power. - mayo.
