	Chaldean Oracles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An analysis of the Chaldean Oracles demonstrates the tradition's sympathy with contemporary gnostic teachings: fiery emanations initiate from the transcendental First Paternal Intellect, from whom the Second Intellect, the Demiurge comprehends the cosmos as well as himself.
		The Chaldean Oracles in the form in which they survive were attributed to Julian the Theurgist, son of Julian the Chaldean, who served in the Roman army during Marcus Aurelius' campaign against the Quadi.
		The Chaldean Oracles are a parallel endeavour, on a smaller scale, to philosophize the wisdom of Chaldea.

	The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ® The Chaldaean Oracles
		Portions of the Oracles are quoted in the Practicus and Philosophus Rituals of the Golden Dawn, particularly in the Practicus Ceremony.
		The Oracles speak of the "Paths of the Soul," the tracings of inflexible fire by which its essential parts are associated in integrity; while its various "summits," "fountains," and "vehicula," are all traceable by analogy with universal principles.
		One Oracle assures us that, "The girders of the Soul, which give her; breathing, are easy to be unloosed," and elsewhere we read of the "Melody of the Ether" and of the "Lunar clashings," experiences which testify to the reality of their occult methods.

	The Chaldæan Oracles of Zoroaster: Preface
		The term "Oracles" was probably bestowed upon these epigrammatic utterances in order to enforce the idea of their profound and deeply mysterious nature.
		A certain portion of these Oracles collected by Psellus, appear to be correctly attributed to a Chaldæan Zoroaster of very early date, and are marked "Z," following the method indicated by Taylor, with one or two exceptions.
		and these are marked "T." Oracles additional to these two series and of less definite source are marked "Z or T." Other oracular passages from miscellaneous authors are indicated by their names.

	Chaldean Oracles
		The Chaldean Oracles, a work attributed to Zoroaster, were said to have been revealed to Julian the Theurgist, also known as the Chaldean.
		The doctrine of the Chaldean Oracles spoke of emanations from the Father, equated with fire, and of triadic entities.
		The theurgy of the Chaldean Oracles provided knowledge of the magical formulas to aid the soul on its ascent to union with the god.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.06.11
		Professor Johnston's systematic study of Hekate in the Chaldean Oracles (CO), the first of its kind, is divided into two major parts.
		She is at her best in the second part of the book, where she brings the Platonist background of the CO to bear in explaining the practices of Chaldean theurgy and the theurgist's relationship with Hekate as a soteriological divinity.
		In this she is motivated by her judgment that scholars' assumption that Hekate was adopted by the Chaldean system merely because she was a witches' goddess is both simplistic and mistaken: [This assumption] does not explain why she is portrayed in fr.

	The Chaldaean Oracles
		Fire is, so to speak, omnipresent in the Oracles, either as lightning, or the creative and life-imparting breath, or the dazzling or scintillating light in the multiplicity of souls and beings.
		Still in the field of pagan imagery, one is tempted to compare the oracles in the Aiôn, drawing from the Father the fire and intelligence that give life to the worlds, or on Kronos (?) from whom are launched the 'implacable thunderbolts', with the Mithraic representations of the Lion-head spitting flames.
		The Chaldaean Oracles left a profound mark on the great intellects of latter Neoplatonism, to a degree that is hard to conceive and whose importance is difficult to measure.

		Attributed to, but probably not of Chaldean origin; not oracles (in the sense of prophecies); and definitely not Zoroastrian; this is a famous collection of aphorisms cherry-picked from classical sources.
		The earliest editions of the COZ were published during the renaissance, when Chaldea was a land of mystery to Europeans.
		Many of the cryptic 'Oracles' seem to reflect Neo-Platonism, the Kabbalah and Gnostic views, which would have been considered heretical at the time.

	THE FIGURE OF HECATE AND DYNAMIC EMANATIONISM IN THE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Each of these figures is in varying degrees 1) equated with the triad Existence, Life and Intellect, 2) tends to be regarded as having doubles or cognates elsewhere in the scale of being, and 3) performs an intermediary function in the process of the generation of the transcendent world depicted in these various systems.
		Indeed, there is a certain parallel between the Sethian Triple Powered One and the Chaldaean Hecate, in terms both of emanative and intermediary functions, in terms of a common triplicity, and in terms of a strong association of both with Vitality and the source of Life and multiplicity.
		He may even have been familiar with the metaphysical system of the Chaldaean Oracles and perhaps have recognized from the Oracles or elsewhere a certain similarity between the triadic nature and function of Hecate and the triadic nature and function of Barbelo in The Apocryphon of John.

		Perhaps that was where the Oracle ritually bathed, not in the area open to the public, as some would have it.
		On the morning of a day when the Oracle was scheduled to prophesy, a goat would be sacrificed at an altar just outside of the great Temple of Apollo, and its entrails would be examined.

	The Chaldean Magi
		Judging by the fourth century BC accounts of Eudemus of Rhodes, a pupil of Aristotle, and Greek historian Theopompus, these Magussaeans were adherents of the Zurvanite heresy.
		Borrowing from the conceptions of the Chaldeans, Zurvan Akaran, or Boundless Time or Fate, was seen as the father of twin sons, Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, the evil spirit.
		Plotinus went, heard a lecture, and exclaimed to his comrade, "This was the man I was looking for!" From that day he followed Ammonius continuously, and under his guidance made such progress in philosophy that he became eager to investigate that practiced among the Persians and that perfected by the Indians.

	"Lucius Rising—Theurgic Ascent in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses"
		These oracles taught the theurgist the proper magical rituals to perform to effect divine visions and ultimately bring about the ascent and purification of both the lower and higher elements of the soul.
		Using the Chaldean Oracles as my text of comparison, I argue that this is exactly what Lucius accomplishes in book 11.
		In the Chaldean Oracles the first psychic ascension seems to be some sort of mysterious out-of-body experience—the theurgist is raised on the rays of a divine sun into the presence of a host of deities.

	The Chaldaean Oracles of Zoroaster
		This powerful Guild was the guardian of Chaldæan philosophy, which exceeded the bounds of their country, and diffused itself into Persia and Arabia that borders upon it; for which reason the learning of the Chaldæans, Persians and Arabians is comprehended under the general title of Chaldæan.
		Oracles, too, accord with this account; for they assimilate the employment of the Soul in Hades, to the delusive visions of a dream.
		The Oracles of the Gods declare, that through purifying ceremonies, not the Soul only, but bodies themselves become Worth) of receiving much assistance and health, for, say they, the mortal vestment of coarse Matter will by these means be purified." And this, the Gods, in an exhortatory manner, announce to the moat holy of Theurgists.

		Also important as Pythagorean "scriptures" are the Chaldean Oracles, a poem that is dated to the second or third century CE.
		The Oracles, which survive only in fragments, are important for what they teach us about spiritual practices such as theurgy (see below), which the Julians perfected; I will quote the Oracles from time to time.

	Brisson Paper Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180 A.D.), Plato expressed himself through the mouth of a medium (Julian the son), and set forth the essential features of his doctrine, as presented in the Timaeus, in the context of oracular consultations requested by Julian senior.
		The surviving fragments of the Chaldaean Oracles bear witness to this strange interpretation of the Timaeus, developed within a magical context.
		The interpretative context in which the Chaldaean Oracles were written is that of Middle Platonism, which developed around the three principles of God, the Models, and Matter.

		The Oracle therefore sayeth, seek thou the Souls path, or the way by which the Soul flowed into thee; or by what course (viz of Life) having performed thy charge toward the Body, thou mayst Mount up to the same place from which thou didst flow down, viz.
		The Oracle therefore sayeth, that to this Exaltation of the Soul, both speech concerning Divine Worship (Prayers,) and Religious Rites (Sacrifices) are requisite.

		Moreover, even with such restrictions the quest for understanding would still be complicated by the poetic/theological contents of the Oracles, the largely unintelligible nature of the Parmenides, and uncertainties concerning the context of the "doctrine" in the first place.
		Then there is also the apparent significance of the Chaldean Oracles in this particular context, while matters are further complicated when Egyptian and Pythagorean knowledge are also factored into the equation, as would appear necessary if the contents of Timæus are to be fully addressed.
		Perhaps it is safe to say that he was the first of the moderns to quantify and confirm the law, and that in view of his stated sources, that this was perhaps closer to his own assessment.

	The Chaldæan Oracles
		It has been believed by many, and not without good reason, that these terse and enigmatic utterances enshrine a profound system of mystical philosophy, but that this system demands for its full discernment a refinement of faculty, involving, as it does, a discrete perception of immaterial essences.
