Abstract
Cabalistic theurgy is a composition of the Hebrew word cabala (meaning 'tradition') and the Greek word theurgy (i.e. divine or supernatural intervention in human affairs). The thesis is based on the most relevant research in this field in our region, which was undertaken in the time of pre-war Czechoslovakia and the beginning of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Dr. Jan Kefer (1906-1941), the chairman of the Czechoslovak hermetic society Universalia, found the juncture between cabala and theurgy in the theory of sefirotic tree and the mutual influence between the worlds of spirit and matter.
In 1938, Kefer attempted to convince President Beneš that there is a possibility of using cabalistic theurgy against the enemies of Czechoslovakia. The thesis investigates cabala and theurgy, that have joined in Renaissance Christian cabala, and develops the teaching of Dr.
Kefer.
