This book of neoplatonic philosopher Iamblichos is a great synopsis of many teachings of ancient hellenic philosophy. I found pythagorian, platonic, aristotelic, neoplatonic teachings as well as pre-socratic, orphic... with the platonic current lead all the way to the end. Inside there are basic teachings from all schools written in a clear way, with a great flow of thinking and many of the teachings are repeated, so the reader consolidates them. Not only it is a guide to philosophy, but a guide to life too, as by practicing the virtues of philosophy and leading ourselves with fronisis we obtain happiness (eudaimonia). I consider it as a basic book for any Witch of antiquity due to the clarifications and the guidance it provides to live a better life according to virtue and lead by fronisis.

Theurgy and Philosophy are two different methods which lead to the union with God.
