Theologically speaking, theurgy is divine intervention in human affairs, or the performance of miracles- specifically, the harnessing of spiritual forces through ritual to effect transcendent spiritual change. Kabbalah and Hermetic magic are both theurgic practices. Theurgic intent is what distinguishes so-called 'high' magick from 'low' magic (magic used for healing, love, personal gain, etc.)
