Jesus the necromancer and magician. A different perspective on the myth and meaning of the great Jewish prophet Jesus of Galilee.

For me, Jesus was primarily, however, a healer who had immense power to relieve many of their spiritual – perhaps psychological – and physical ills. In addition, he was a practitioner of a form of indigenous magic, most likely experiencing shamanistic types of spiritual ascension.

The Greek Neoplatonists respected him greatly for his wisdom and theurgic power. The Oracle of Hekate berates the Christians for elevating Jesus to a position higher than he should be. He was a great man with great power, a hero.

Jesus’s healing of the sick and the raising of the dead are part of what the historian and Jewish priest, Josephus, calls his “deeds of power.” For Josephus, these deeds are the defining criterion of Jesus’s teaching and spiritual crusade.
