Rory Keys
Hephaestion of Thebes Katarchē for Ritual Magic
In Book III of Apotelesmatika, Hephaestion details the electional parameters for magicians to observe when undertaking their work. Protocols for divination through ritual sacrifice, consecrating statues, and petitioning the gods are all described. Much is left unsaid, prompting further contemplation and speculation. By referencing Dorotheus - who heavily inspired Hephaestion - we seek to fill in the gaps, and fortify our ritual elections by doing so.
