What is Theurgy?

Theurgy is the practice of using incantations or charms to summon divine spirits (e.g., a god, angels, etc.) and persuade them to do or reveal something. Angel magic involved rituals such as prayer, fasting, scrying or meditation on holy images to purify the soul and open a channel of communication with angels (1).

The body of Margaret Jensen was removed from the offices of Excel Technology by the coroner. Her coworkers said she had been unsteady on her feet, slurring her words and acting confused all morning. They assumed that she was intoxicated. Margaret had never been drunk at work before, but she had always acted a little "off"; always telling them that she was a practicing witch. She even wore a pentagram on a chain around her neck. There had been a mark around the back of her neck, which indicated it was ripped from her neck. Strangely, there remained a dark pink imprint on her upper chest, where the pentagram usually rested. It was missing. Forensic Investigator Bradley Thomas stood surveying Margaret's desk. There was a tumbler of sickly sweet smelling fruit smoothie, the half eaten remains of a slice of cake from the office party and a mug with the dregs from the office coffee pot. Among various files and forms in her desk drawers was a pack of what smelled like clove cigarettes and a half empty bottle of aspirin. How should Bradley proceed? What evidence should he collect? Why? Should anything be sent to the lab for analysis? Does this appear to be a case of death by magic or murder? #murder #mystery #puzzle #occult #whodunnit #sleuth #armchairdetective #slueth Occult detectives investigate occult crimes, using their powers of extrasensory perception and otherwordly knowledge to pierce the veil between this world and the underworld.
