Iamblichus made several important contributions to Neoplatonism that influenced later esotericism. He focused on divine embodiment and understood the various levels of being to include many divine entities. Iamblichus developed the practice of Theurgy, “Divine Magic,” within Neoplatonism. Through this ritual practice, the magician returns to unity with The One. His theories strongly influenced all later Western Hermetic practices.
