===Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn===
{{further|Magical organization}}
Some organizations, such as the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], teach a type of theurgy that would help one ascend spiritually as well as understand the true nature of the self and its relation to the Divine and the Universe.<ref>Chic and Tabatha Cicero, ''Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn tradition'', Chapter 1</ref> This tradition holds that theurgists are usually solitary practitioners who seek the divine light alone. Theurgy in this [[Hermeticism|hermetic]] sense stresses the need for the individual to separate and analyze the individual components that constitute everyday consciousness and reunite them in a way that changes one's personal awareness into a state that understands and partakes in spiritual grace.<ref>Israel Regardie, revised by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.
