Вот мы и подошли к концу нашего путешествия через прошлое. Вы познакомились с тем, что нам завещал античный мир – через фильтр восприятия греков и римлян – их религиозные воззрения и некоторые их магические практики; вы узнали о том, как неоплатонисты, особенно Ямвлих, перенесли это наследие в теургию, которая легла в основу всей западной магической традиции; узнали, что христианство пыталось погубить эту традицию, одновременно сохраняя в себе ее части; о том, что возрождению западной магической традиции способствовало восстановление древних текстов с помощью Византии и исламского мира; а еще узнали, что Агриппа подарил нам искусно составленную и влиятельную сумму нашего великого наследия.
Дорогой читатель, далее лучшие из лучших предоставят вам пояснения глубин этого наследия и обеспечат инструментарием, позволяющим практиковать многие из его ответвлений.
Да пребудет с вами успех!
