So we’ve learned that you can enhance the telos of an object and encourage each of the elements mixed into them toward their telos using your own or atherial blood. We assume atherial blood has to have human blood in it, no other known blood source works.
Clearly human blood is unique and is affecting the telos of objects and elements in objects. Since we know that let’s take a look at the litany we learned Theurgery from with new light.
“I look beyond the ephemeral. I see the nature of things, their reasons for being, the final causes of all their motion. I see that nothing comes into the world without purpose. Fear does not cloud my vision. I see the world without its masks. I see myself without a mirror. I see the ends of all things. And I know. I am the nature behind nature. I am the cause beyond the final cause. I am a Maker of Change.”
“I see the nature of things, their reasons for being, the final causes of all their motion. I see that nothing comes into the world without purpose.” This part screams telos with fresh light. Purpose, cause, reason, synonyms for telos.
“I am the nature behind nature. I am the cause beyond the final cause. I am a Maker of Change.” This is the interesting part, the part that let’s you change and enhance a things telos. However you need blood for it, human blood.
So what makes that blood special though? The Codex says that Xthonos is That Which Is, the Angels are Its emanations, and humans nature’s apex. The litany from the scroll says ‘that nothing comes into the world without purpose’. Xthonos is That Which Is, the Angels are to be like It. But what are we to be?
‘I am the nature behind nature. I am the cause beyond the final cause. I am a Maker of Change.’ That is what we are to be, Makers of Change. It’s how we fuel Theurgery. It’s our Teloi!
And that’s how Theurgery works boys and girls.
