The Magos in Greek

The Magos in Greek meant a male practitioner of illegal and or morally suspect ritual acts. But we also have some fascinating evidence that the Magos was seen as a religious specialist with a very powerful hotline to the gods. The Magos is a complex and not wholly negative figure. He does goetea, the bad stuff, but he also does Therapeo, which is the good stuff. And we find similar appraisals in other authors.
