Enlightningment

Description

This booklet presents a modern approach to accomplishing the Great Work of magic using the myths of Zeus and the Orphic tradition.

Rufus Opus explains how the life of Zeus can be seen as a metaphor for the phases of the Great Work, from the rebel orphan who learns the basics of magic, to the warrior who defeats the Titans, to the ruler who enjoys the fruits of his labor, to the demiurge who recreates the universe in his own image.

The booklet also provides a cosmology that describes the relationship between Zeus and all other beings, and how he manifests as the source, the medium, and the end of all things, and offers practical guidance on how to use magic to align oneself with the will of Zeus, and to work with the spirits of the elements, the planets, and the underworld to achieve one’s goals.

The booklet is intended for magicians who want to use the Orphic myths as a framework for their own spiritual development and transformation.
