Exploring ancient philosophy reveals its dual role as both a path to divine intellect and a means of alchemical transformation. It emphasizes initiatic 'death' and restoration through mystical illumination, likening the journey to the soul regaining its wings. The text asserts that this philosophy is deeply intertwined with hieratic rites and draws from Egyptian and Mesopotamian traditions, which Neoplatonists later revived as 'theurgy.' Understanding the theurgic practices, especially the animation of statues, is crucial for grasping the evolution of Neoplatonic mysticism in late antiquity.
